"Behaves like he ain't got a mite o' sense. I war goin' by thar one day las' week an' I stepped up on the porch ter pass the time o' day with Pete an' his wife, an' the door war open. And' what d'ye s'pose I seen! Old Peter Petrie a-goin' round the floor on all fours, an' a-settin' on his back war a baby powerful peart youngster jes' a-grinnin' an' a-whoopin' an' a-poundin' old Peter with a whip!
It was only for a moment, though. Petrie! they were fingers of steel of steel!" "The bed...." I began. "I know that," rapped Smith. "I shouldn't have been sleeping in it, had it been within reach of the window; but, knowing that the Doctor avoids noisy methods, I had thought myself fairly safe so long as I made it impossible for any one actually to enter the room...."
Sergi and the other ethnologists. It was not this population, the stone-users whose nécropoles have been found by Messrs. de Morgan, Pétrie, and Maclver, that entered the Nile valley by the Wadi Hammamat.
Gray, a neighbouring practitioner, appeared in the doorway at the moment that I spoke the words. "It's all right, Petrie," he said, reassuringly; "I think we took it in time. I have thoroughly cauterised the wounds, and granted that no complication sets in, he'll be on his feet again in a week or two." I suppose I was in a condition closely bordering upon the hysterical.
"I'm right!" snapped Smith. "That turning leads down to the gate. Come on, Petrie!" He directed the light of the electric torch upon a narrow path through the ranks of casks, and led the way to the further door. A good two feet of moonlight showed along the top. I heard Smith straining; then "These kegs are all loaded with grease!" he said, "and I want to reconnoiter over that door."
But do you recall the report?" "The report? I was too dazed, too horrified, by the discovery of what I had done...." "There was no report, Petrie. I am not entirely a stranger to Indo-Chinese jugglery, and you had a very strange look in your eyes. Therefore I took the precaution of unloading your Browning!"
Then: "The dacoit must leave his knife also," he stipulated. Fu-Manchu smiled his evil smile again. "Agreed. Shall I lead the way?" "No!" rapped Smith. "Petrie and the dacoit first; then you; I last." A guttural word of command from Fu-Manchu, and we left the cabin, with its evil odors, its mortuary specimens, and its strange instruments, and in the order arranged mounted to the deck.
Professor Flinders Petrie has made us acquainted with Egyptian scarabs on which is inscribed in hieroglyphic characters the name of a king, Jacob-bar or Jacob-hal, who reigned in the valley of the Nile before Abraham entered it, and Mr.
Petrie allowed the Madras Government to acquire his instruments; and in 1791, when he came back to Madras, the Madras Observatory was built, with Mr. Petrie as adviser. Another enthusiastic scientist in Madras in the same period was Dr.
"Don't be alarmed on his behalf, Petrie," interrupted Smith. "His life is no longer in danger." I stared, stupidly. "No longer in danger!" "He received, some time yesterday, a letter, written in Chinese, upon Chinese paper, and enclosed in an ordinary business envelope, having a typewritten address and bearing a London postmark." "Well?"
