Charlie Chan in Egypt Page #2

---

Mr. Chan?

Archaeological Society...

financed Professor Arnold's

researches...

with understanding that all objects

taken from tomb...

with exception of those claimed

by Egyptian government...

become property

of Society Museum.

That's quite correct.

Everything taken

from the Ameti tomb...

is now in course of cataloging

in preparation for shipment.

Correction, please.

Valuable items

taken from tomb...

discovered six months ago...

now in possession

of private collectors...

and rival museums

in Europe.

That's impossible.

Pardon, please.

Here are photographs.

This necklace with

identifying seal of Ameti.

This ring of Ameti...

now in Berlin museum.

Then they're imitations.

Why, we have a native craftsman,

Edfu Ahmad...

who can duplicate

things like those so closely...

that even an expert

can't tell the difference.

Pardon, effendi.

Your glasses.

Is that all for tonight?

Yes, you may go.

I'm sure they're imitations, Mr. Chan.

Experts have identified

necklace and ring as genuine.

Do you mean that the Society

is accusing my father?

So sorry,

but Society demands explanation.

On what grounds? They withdrew their

financial support before the tomb was located.

L- l-I question their right

to investigate anything.

Contract very plain.

Items from Ameti tomb

property of French museum.

Must locate Professor Arnold.

Well, I'd be glad

to try again, Mr. Chan.

Our last communication

came from Napata on the Upper Nile...

saying he wished to be undisturbed

in his present work.

- He ignores our letters.

- Which isn't like Daddy at all.

Articles from Ameti tomb

are here?

Yes, in the laboratory.

Would you care to see them?

Much interested.

Carol, perhaps you'd better

go to your room, dear.

- She doesn't like our work, Mr. Chan.

- I hate it!

It's taken my father

away from me.

- Something's happened to him, I know it!

- Please, dear.

Can't you help me find him,

Mr. Chan?

You must. You've got to.

If possible,

will be most happy.

There, there, there, there.

Let Nayda take you

to your room, my dear, hmm?

I'm-I'm sorry.

Good night.

And thank you, Mr. Chan.

She's quite upset, Tom.

- Perhaps you'd better phone for Dr. Racine.

- I think so too.

The laboratory's below,

Mr. Chan.

Thank you so much.

A few of the more important

items are here, Mr. Chan.

The rest

are in the storeroom.

I'd be glad to check them

with you at your convenience.

That would be most helpful.

X- ray machine?

We have the most completely

equipped laboratory in Luxor.

This is a radiograph

of Ameti.

Very interesting.

Hands crossed in final sleep.

Yes.

Egyptian goddess?

That is Sekhmet,

goddess of vengeance.
