January 24.—Exca- vators st the tomb of Pharaoh Tutan- khamen, wio lived in regal splendor 3,270 years ago, had a day's rest yes- terday, no work being done on the tomb. I was out all day in company with Engelbach, who succeeded me #s inspector general of antiquities, and made g long tour of the whole Theban necropolis. I was much struck by the amount of work both in excavation and conservation carried out under hig direction. As we rode along the sunbaked em- bankment which serves as a road to the necropolls we encountered a roll- ing and bumping Ford car, the first ever meen on this unolent soil, which proved to contain an excavaling Iparty, Mr. Carter, Mr. Burton and Mr. Lucas, on their joiting way down to the river to spend a quiet day at the Winter Palace Hotel, on the other side of the Nila. On their return at sunset I met them again, surrounded by #n admiring crowd of tourists and | i TO TRACE ABSESTOS. about to bolt back to the peace of their house among the desert hills. Open Chamber Soon. Mr. Carter tells me he had a most aifficult time keeping inquisitive vis- itors at arm's length, but 1 hear he has kept his temper admirably in often trying circumstances. It is no Joko having such responsibilities on one's shoulders. Most antiquities from the main chamber have now been removed to the workshop and the way is nearly clear for the opening—soon after Lord Carnarvon's arrival this week end—of the sealed chamber where the roval mummy may lle. Besides this chai bLer there is another sideroom full of boxes, furniture and musical instru- ments, but these are not being dis- turbed at present. What the sealed chamber contains 18 a subject of excited speculation, and excavators wondering whether Tutankhamen alone, or his predecesso Smenkhkara, {s also there, for the lat. ter's name occurs, though not promi. nently, in inscriptions found. Most of the inscribed objects give only the names of Tutankhamen and his queen, PUBLIC PRINTER GUEST OF OFFICE EMPLOYES but the queen is unlikely to be found because she was still a girl at her hus- hand’s death. On the other hand, three great state coaches found in the tomb suggest three separate burials, and there are more thaw' one of other ob- Jects. Tomb Was Robbed. The tomb undoubtedly has been by priests or necropolis officials, and these plous personages have evidently gathered up the royal linen and orna- ments scattered about by thieves and crammed them back hurriedly into boxes and caskets. There is a general feeling of disap- pointment so far that the tomb has not provided much new historical informa- tion, but all agree that artistically many of the objects ure astonishin Mr. Carter {s a very tired man, and as he left the Terrace Hotel, where the sipping tea, to return to those silent Theban hills, which rose hazy and mys- terious out ‘of the sunset across the Nile, he told me he wished the job was finished.
