The huge ship was passing swiftly out of the Bay of Naples, and already we were in the strait between Capri and the mainland. I had come on deck from the smoking-room for a last look at poor Vesuvius, who lost her lovely head in the last eruption. 1 paced up, and dom, acutely conscious of my great secret, the secret inspiring my voyage to Egypt.

At first the spot was thought to fall within the province given up to Garstang, digging for Liverpool University. Later, however, the Service des Antiquitks pronounced the place to be outside Garstangs borders, and it seemed that luck was coming our way. No one but we two - Fenton and I - had any inkling of what might lie hidden in the Mountain of the Golden Pyramid...
