It opened toward the north into a sort of entrance corridor. There is also a small window in the north wall opening into the offering room X. This room (X) is smaller than Y, and opens on the East into the same corridor. In the SW corner is the beginning of a shaft, and adjoining on the north is the beginning of a second shaft.

The newspapers today state that four Turkish soldiers have made their way across the Canal into Egypt. 250 Turkish Prisoners arrived in Cairo early yesterday morning. Another Earthquake in Italy is reported.
