CHAPTER XX
CALLING ON THE MUMMIES
For a full mile they made the red-headed boy run. Then, at Dan's command, a camel was made to kneel, and the perspiring coxswain was permitted to climb the animal's hump.
"That—that was a mean trick," growled Sam. "I'll even up with you for that, Dan Davis!"
Dan laughed happily.
"You needed the exercise. It will put you in good shape for climbing the Pyramids."
A few minutes more of riding brought them to the feet of these awe-inspiring monuments, and with the aid of their guides the jackies scrambled up the sides of the Great Pyramid.
"We must see the tombs on the inside of the Pyramid, fellows," cried Dan after they had descended by skips and jumps the long steps of the Pyramid.
"Yes," cried Sam. "I promised to give the regards of the stay-at-homes to the mummies."
