On the third day the long-deferred riot broke out. The Copt and the Arab had spread the report that Fielding brought death to the villages by moving the little flags on his map. The populace rose. Fielding was busy with the map at the dreaded moment that hundreds of the villagers appeared upon the bank and rushed the Amenhotep.
Things looked ominous enough, and at five o'clock he made up his mind that Egypt would be overrun with cholera, and that he should probably have to defend himself and the Amenhotep from rioters, for the native police would be useless. But at five o'clock Dicky Donovan came in a boat, and with him Mustapha Kali under a native guard of four men.
Imshi Pasha saw that Dimsdale was a dangerous man, as all enthusiasts are, no matter how right-headed; but it comforted him to think that many a reformer, from Amenhotep down, had, as it were, cut his own throat in the Irrigation Department.
"The gods are not offended by gifts." "Do thou, noble lord," said Ramses, "be pleased to accept this miraculous shield, which I received from my sacred grandfather." "I? the shield of Amenhotep?" exclaimed the minister, with emotion. "Am I worthy of it?" "By thy wisdom Thou art equal to my grandfather, and Thou wilt equal him in position." Herhor made a low bow in silence.
"As if I don't know, old lime-burner!" answered Dicky coolly. In an hour they were on the Amenhotep, and in two hours they were on the way a floating hospital to the infected district of Kalamoun. There the troubles began.
"But who, on the death of Amenhotep, became his heir?" asked Ramses, looking quickly into the eyes of the priest. Samentu answered, calmly, "Events show that Amenhotep was incompetent, more occupied in honoring Re than in governing Egypt." "Indeed, Thou art a real sage!" said Ramses. "At thy service, holiness." "I appoint thee my counselor," said the pharaoh.
Ûsertesen III., whose head and feet are in the Louvre, was appropriated by Amenhotep III., as the sphinx of the Louvre and the colossi of Gizeh were appropriated by Rameses II. Many museums possess specimens of supposed Ramesside Pharaohs which, upon more careful inspection, we are compelled to ascribe to the Thirteenth or Fourteenth Dynasty.
This evening he added a whistle to his smile as he made his inspection of the engine-room and the galley and every corner of the Amenhotep, according to his custom. What he whistled no man knew, not even himself. It was ready-made.
She paused and thought for a few moments: her brain was too active for sleep, her nerves too much on edge, so instead of reading about Akhnaton, who is known in history as Amenhotep IV., the heretic Pharaoh, she knelt down and prayed to his God, beginning with the old familiar words, "Our Father, which art in heaven," for He is the same God yesterday, to-day and for ever, the God of whom Akhnaton said, "He makes the young sheep to dance upon their hind legs, and the birds to flutter in the marshes," and as a modern writer said of Him, "The God of the simple pleasures of life, Whose symbol was the sun's disc, just as it was the symbol of Christianity.
Before six o'clock in the evening a division of the guard approached the temple of Ptah unhindered, and the leader of it knocked at the gate, which was opened immediately. This was Tutmosis with his volunteers. When the chief entered the temple court he was astonished to see Herhor in the miter of Amenhotep, and surrounded only by priests come out to meet him.
