At every tunnel the coach must be moved to one side of its supporting trucks to avoid strik ing the tunnel walls, and a com- plicated time-table must be made for the journey.
The coach is designed to provide a complete travelling residence for the Maharaja, his family, and his stati. There is a nursery and both room for the children,
and a room for the nurse.
Next is a bath-room for the Maharaja, with shower bath, hot towel rails, and other equipment. The bed-room has a 5ft, bed and full-sized furniture made of white sycamore. *The drawing-room furniture Includes a settee, easy chairs, tables. cocktail bar. and radio-gramophone.
Bed-rooms and baths are pro- vided for A.D.C.s and servants,
and finally there is a kitchen with refrigerators, stone aink, and stone cupboards.

With such clues to go upon, it is small wonder that Scotland Yard, as the play shows, anally get their man. As the chief of the British Secret Service explains in the play to a British naval officer. "Scot- land Yard tracks down slowly be fore it springs-but it springs with fearful sharpness. The trails which are started in Scotland Yard end only in the tombs of death."
