tunes of every eastern nation and
totally alien in appearance to the
surrounding land.
During tea the guests were taken
into the tomb, seven or eight at a
time, for an inspection, the first to
enter being the American minister,
Dr. Howell, and his guests, DR.. Oscar
Straus, former ambassador to Turkey,
and Mrs. Straus.
To any one reading for months past
of the splendors of Tut -Amen's
tomb, the present sight is apt to be
disappointing. The entrance, which
was found right in the middle Of the
road, directly beneath the tunneled
grave of Rameses VI, the excavated
earth from which, thrown over Tut
ankh-Amen's tomb, kept it success
fully hidden for over 5000 years, is
not imposing. 1t is just short fight
of steps leading to a hole in the side
of mountain, guarded by a wooden
door similar to dozens of other tombs
in the valley. The tunnel is a steep
descent of thirty feet with no deco
rationS,
Other tombs in the valley have en-
trance tunnels .as long as 800 feet,
completely carved and painted The
tiny antechamber is now filled by a
railed-in platform to view the sar-
cophagus from. 1t scarcely seems
large enough to hold one-tenth of the
fabulous amount of furnishings that
hav been taken from it.
shrine is still in place around the
golden coffin with glass over 1t.
Pieces from the outer shrines are
still leaning against the walls, heavily
wrapped in cotton. With strong cleo
trio lights and all the woodwork
built around, the impression is as of
seeing the sarcophagus lying in some
alcove in a museum.
According to one of Howard Car
ter's assistants, who accompanied this
correspondent and two other newspaper
men into the tomb, il will be impossible
leave the mummy in its present posi-
tion, as was previously decided, be-
cause of china tic conditions. The plan
of the archeoiogists now Is to Xtray
the coffin and see if it contains
jewels. If not, it will be left in the
gold case undisturbed.
M. Pierre Lacau, director general
of antiquities of Egypt, did the hon.
ors in resolving the guests at the en-
trance to the tomb. 1t was the first
time that any distinguished visitor
has ever been received by any one
except Howard Carter, the American
discoverer, himself, and there was a
somewhat pathetic scene enacted
when each of the native workers
slipped quietly into the assembly and
asked the English correspondents
who were there for news of Carter.
They all worship him.
n y !. ::
DURING all these festivities Mr..
Carter was lost somewhere in
Cairo. Egyptians say he is there
'.pouting." On the other hand, his
friends say he was simply showed into
the background The truth is that
the present Misunderstanding which
has arisen between Carter and the
Egyptisn government is that they ara

began to howl out his wretchedness.
Soon the other cats joined in. But
the wind rose still higher and made il
impossible at last to distinguish be-
tween the sounds of the storm, the
yowling of the beasts and the cries of
the deck passengers.
In the middle of the third night
turned over in my bunk and saw the
captain on the floor with his chart,
trying to find out where he was.
Where are we?" I yelled at him.
eff it keeps on, man, we'll land in
Rorneo or Australia"
He rolled up his chart and lurched
over to a five-pound tin of biscuits.
He took a handful of them and drew
a little water from a stone filter. I
undid the straps that held me in the
bunk, crawled out and got down on
the floor. / braced my back against
the locker drawers. The captain
leaned against the side of the cabin.
We planted out feet together to keep
US from pitching onto each other
and began a long, slow feed" We
were still grinding biscuits when day
light came. The Malay mate put his
head in at the door. The wind blew
in with him and he held on to the
door frame. But even in his struggle
to stand up he managed to salute the
captain. 1t struck me as funny.
Trouble, captain!" he shouted.
"What-more troubleT' the captain
bawIed at him.
"Bullocks!" he screamed back.
Some are loose, sir. Legs broken.
Sliding over deck. Knocking down
everything. Breaking legs of Others.
Mayer" Busk yelled at me, those
- oxen are going to smash this old
iron seow"
He acted, somehow, as il ] were
responsible. His feet pushed mine as
if he wanted to ram me into the
locker. Get them overheard, he
roared.
How do it sir% yelled the mate.
Throw every bullock into the sea-"

THE situation was so bad that it
L did one thing for me. 1t made
me forget to be seasick. I pulled
myself out on the bridge, where /
could see what was going on below.
Believing cattle were rolling over
the deck and pounding into each
other and into the boat. 1t would
have been death for any sailor to go
in among them. But I saw one fell
low crawling along the rail, and I
then observed that a long rope was
tied to him under the armpits and

Blood Sacrifices Are Barbaric
AtTut-Ankh-Amen Tomb Opening


dragged two oxen, amid tumultuous
cheering and yelling. The animals
were thrown to the ground, and
butchers with long knives pushed
their way through the mob and with
one great hack after another chopped
the heads completely off the strug-
Cling, believing beasts, blood spurt-
ing in every direction.
At the sight of this the crowds went
mad with excitement, smeared their
faces with blood of the slain animals,
went into a perfect frenzy and be-
sieged the carriages of the officials
clambering all over them, yelling and
shouting at the top of their voices.
This was supposed to be a sacrifi-
cial offering, following the customs
of religious rites cf 5000 years ago,
but in truth it was the most revolving
and disgusting sight imaginable
There was nothing ceremonial about
it, there was no altar, nor any SEM
blance of sacrificing.
The main object seemed to be to
get it done and done rapidly. and with
the bowling mob all about it appeared
to be more of a barbarie orgy than
the opening ceremonies on a festive
occasion in a nation civilized enough
to attempt self-government and take
its place among the nations of the
world.
True enough, the oxen were later
quartered, one leg being sent to the
mosque and the rest given to the
poor, an ancient Mohammedan GUS
tom, but this was the only semblance
to a saerificial offering.
At first sight of the affair officials
in the foremost car arose as if to pro-
test but seemed to think better of it
and sat down, watching the spectacle
in unprotesting silence.
All of this took place within sight
of the luxurious Luxor Winter Palace
Hotel, where aristocratic visitors
from all over the world spend their
winters. Hundreds of sensitive ell
derly women from America, England
and the continent might easily have
seen this gruesome sight from their
windows, but fortunately it was too
early for them to be abroad.
A FTER luncheon the party was
conducted across the Nile in a
gayly bedecked side-wheeler, where
thirty autos, especially imported from
Cairo, were waiting to take the Wis
itors across five miles of hot, sandy
country into the desolate Valley of
the Kings, where all the Pharaohs of
the eighteenth, nineteenth and TWEEN
tieth dynasties were buried in tombs
carved out at the end of long tunnels
into the mountain sides.
directed on a stony hillside near the
tomb was q great pavilion of magnifi-
cent Egyptian hanging draperies. red
and gold, with huge shields hung on
the sides as decoration. Fifty or more
tables were set for the 15o dignitaries
and 20 newspaper men present, Tea,
iced drinks and a variety of delica-
cies were served, and it was a cool
and delightful looking oasis in the
midst Of swsltering desert land.

Drawn OF THE NORTH"
BEST FROM FAMINE LAND

He is vamped by the most Sc
ductive bit of femininity that ever
harassing the masculine sex, but
when his first love calls he returns
to give full-hearted allegiance to
her. But she hates him. Then he
does her the greatest service that
could be rendered her, and she
tries to shoot him. But he remains
loyal though mute and finally re-
covers the place in her love that he
has desired.
That is only a part of what
happens to Strongheart, the wond-
erful police dog in ''Brawn of
the North, y his second starring
production, at the Vashon theatre
Saturday evening, Jan. 26. And
while this and many other things
happen to him, the other members

Strongheart earns his stellar
honors, the right to be classed as
the star of the production against
the strongest competition in his
supporting cast that star has
ever been subjected to. Irene Rich
and Lady Silver, a lady wolf, com
pete evenly for the leading femi-
nine honors, although Evangeline
Bryant is just about the cutest
baby who has yet found her way
