See
,
my
lords
,
"
she
said
,
holding
the
light
before
her
,
"
those
who
stored
the
treasure
here
fled
in
haste
,
and
bethought
them
to
guard
against
any
who
should
find
the
secret
of
the
door
,
but
had
not
the
time
,
"
and
she
pointed
to
large
square
blocks
of
stone
,
which
,
to
the
height
of
two
courses
(
about
two
feet
three
)
,
had
been
placed
across
the
passage
with
a
view
to
walling
it
up
.
Along
the
side
of
the
passage
were
similar
blocks
ready
for
use
,
and
,
most
curious
of
all
,
a
heap
of
mortar
and
a
couple
of
trowels
,
which
tools
,
so
far
as
we
had
time
to
examine
them
,
appeared
to
be
of
a
similar
shape
and
make
to
those
used
by
workmen
to
this
day
.
Here
Foulata
,
who
had
been
in
a
state
of
great
fear
and
agitation
throughout
,
said
that
she
felt
faint
and
could
go
no
farther
,
but
would
wait
there
.
Accordingly
we
set
her
down
on
the
unfinished
wall
,
placing
the
basket
of
provisions
by
her
side
,
and
left
her
to
recover
.
Following
the
passage
for
about
fifteen
paces
farther
,
we
came
suddenly
to
an
elaborately
painted
wooden
door
.
It
was
standing
wide
open
.
Whoever
was
last
there
had
either
not
found
the
time
to
shut
it
,
or
had
forgotten
to
do
so
.
Across
the
threshold
of
this
door
lay
a
skin
bag
,
formed
of
a
goat-skin
,
that
appeared
to
be
full
of
pebbles
.
"
Hee
!
hee
!
white
men
,
"
sniggered
Gagool
,
as
the
light
from
the
lamp
fell
upon
it
.
"
What
did
I
tell
you
,
that
the
white
man
who
came
here
fled
in
haste
,
and
dropped
the
woman
's
bag
--
behold
it
!
Look
within
also
and
ye
will
find
a
water-gourd
amongst
the
stones
.
"
Good
stooped
down
and
lifted
it
.
It
was
heavy
and
jingled
.
"
By
Jove
!
I
believe
it
's
full
of
diamonds
,
"
he
said
,
in
an
awed
whisper
;
and
,
indeed
,
the
idea
of
a
small
goat-skin
full
of
diamonds
is
enough
to
awe
anybody
.
"
Go
on
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
impatiently
.
"
Here
,
old
lady
,
give
me
the
lamp
,
"
and
taking
it
from
Gagool
's
hand
,
he
stepped
through
the
doorway
and
held
it
high
above
his
head
.
We
pressed
in
after
him
,
forgetful
for
the
moment
of
the
bag
of
diamonds
,
and
found
ourselves
in
King
Solomon
's
treasure
chamber
.
At
first
,
all
that
the
somewhat
faint
light
given
by
the
lamp
revealed
was
a
room
hewn
out
of
the
living
rock
,
and
apparently
not
more
than
ten
feet
square
.
Next
there
came
into
sight
,
stored
one
on
the
other
to
the
arch
of
the
roof
,
a
splendid
collection
of
elephant-tusks
.
How
many
of
them
there
were
we
did
not
know
,
for
of
course
we
could
not
see
to
what
depth
they
went
back
,
but
there
could
not
have
been
less
than
the
ends
of
four
or
five
hundred
tusks
of
the
first
quality
visible
to
our
eyes
.
There
,
alone
,
was
enough
ivory
to
make
a
man
wealthy
for
life
.
