I climbed a winding moun- length descended the cliffs into this remoter valley, where no living thing stirred and where the sun beat down with mer- ciless power from a brazen sky. Candle in hand, I went down into the depths of these two great sep- ulchers. 1 had hoped that the ar- rangement of the subterranean cham- bers would give some indication of what we may expect beyond the sealed doorway in Tutankhamen's tomb, but there was no apparent simi- larity in shape. although the en- trances are much the same. 1 am convinced, therefore, that there is no use speculating whether Tutank- | hamen's burial chamber will be found immediately behind the sealed bar- as I rather expect, or whether | will be further passages and stairways leading down to it Finds Deep Shaft. In one of the tombs in this west- | valley T found a deep shaft or sunk in the center of the pas- sageway—found in many royal tombs of this period—which was used both to carry off possible rain water and also to serve as an obstacle to rob- bers. Behind that mysterfous sealed | wall in Tutankhdmen's tomb there may be such a shaft which will delay operations again, but, on the whole, this is unlikely. Another long mountain _ climb brought me at_length back to the Val- ley of the Kings, from which th crowd of tourists had now departed and only the eternal police remained on guard, and so, on donkey back, I returned to the hotel, roasted to a turn.
