BURIAL SHIP KEEPS SECRET OF

1,300 YEARS

No Clue to Chief Entombed in Cabin

ON

From A Special Correspondent

a bracken-covered hillock overlooking the River Deben, archaeologists are excavating the first un- disturbed burial ship to be found in Europe-a discovery which may prove as important as the finding of Tutank- hamen's tomb in Egypt.

The ship grave is believed to be that of an Anglo- Saxon warrior king or chieftain, who lived. about A.D. C00, whose remains were cremated and buried in the cabin of his 82ft. long rowing derry surrounded by his worldly treasures ready for the journey to a future life..

Gold and sliver ornaments, the shape of the sharp prow and plaques, jewellery and weapons stern. in a fine state of preservation have been found.

They have been taken to the British Museumi. An Inquest will be held by the coroner on the treasures, und if declared "treasure trove" they will be come the property of the Crown.

Tandy is the central figure in Matania's painting "The Menin Gate," which shows him bringing in a man shot by a German machine-gun.

He Tootled: Duck Laid An Egg

A Folkestone motorist en- countered ducks crossing the road at Saltwood, four miles from the town.

He gave them the right of way, but one lingered in the centre of the road.

With a tootle on his horn, the motorist reminded the duck that he wanted to get home, whereupon the bird laid an egg and then joined her family.

The motorist appropriated the egg and found it much to his taste.
