AT THE QUEEN'S

The sarcophagus was that of King Amenemote. San el Hagar is the an- cient city of Tanis, which was built by Rameses II. about 3,000 years ago as a holiday resort in the Nile delta. Amenemote reigned about 1,000 B.C. He was of the 22nd Dynasty.

Unfortunately the infiltration of sea water had ruined most of the visible objects in his tomb, except a massive gold vase. Only the remnants of the sarcophagus were found. King Farouk had spent two days with the excava- tion party, and himself opened the door of the burial chamber which led to the discovery.

On the sarcophagus were a lovely golden mask, gold hands with a scep- tre, and a golden bird. Prof. Montet hopes, when the discovery is fully examined, to find jewels and other precious objects.

Here's Luck!

Survivors of Sunk

Submarines –

The story of the loss of the British submarines Undine, 540 tons, and Starfish, 640 tons, which were destroyed by enemy action in the Heli- goland Bight in January, was told for the first time by Miss Marvin Breckinridge, of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem, who has just returned from a visit to Germany.

She was permitted to visit a prison- ers-of-war camp in Central Germany, known as Lager 9A, where there are interned. 120 Englishmen and 55 Frenchmen, including the entire crews of the Undine and Starfish and some men from the Rawalpindi, the auxil- iary cruiser sunk in the Atlantic by the German "pocket battleship" Deut- schland.

The Starfish men told her that they were down on the bottom for nine hours, and were attacked with 32 depth charges before they had to give up. They then managed to raise the stern of the submarine above water, and crawled out one after another through an emergency exit.

CONSIDERATE GAOLERS Relatives of the British prisoners will be glad to learn that the camp is run by German officers, who treat the men in their charge with the greatest possible consideration.
