April 22d.
Reis, 9.
Men, 111.
Children, 90.
The same works were repeated.
April 23cl.—A party came to breakfast, including the
Count and Countess Odescalchi,9 and Mr. Piozan — they
afterwards went into the Pyramids, examined the different
works, and returned to Cairo in the evening. The Count
had a house at Saccara, and was desirous that I should
undertake some operations at that place ; but the firmaun
did not extend beyond Gizeh, and I was also fully occupied.
Second Pyramid. — Hoof in Belzoni's Chamber.
Third Pyramid. — Interior.
Campbell's Tomb.
Fourth Pyramid. — Interior.
The work at Campbell's Tomb was again resumed.
As the depth, particularly in the foss, had become very
great, and the ropes were much worn, and therefore ill
calculated to sustain the weight of the casks, which were
secured with iron hooping, I entertained great apprehen-
sions for the safety, not only of the people who worked
April 24//;.
Great Pyramid.
