Such scientific gear still does not answer the No. 1 question: Is there anything in the tomb? So Lerici pulls another technical trick. With a gasoline-powered drill he drills a 3-in. hole through the earth and the roof of the tomb and inserts an aluminum tube. Inside the tube is a 16-mm. camera with an electronic flash. Starting at compass north and looking all around, it takes twelve or more pictures of the tomb's interior, showing whether it has been looted or whether it still contains articles worth digging...
...were a furphy, and that the real spieler, that gazob at the pub, dropped his bundle and smoked for Sydney till the bible-basher got the leg-rope on him. In the end, of course, a pongo cobber shouts Smiley a bike, and everything is bokker. Got the flaming drill...

...third reason, undefined but still apparent, is a feeling in the regular services that National Guardsmen get a soft berth. For instance, Guardsmen receive a full day's pay for each four-hour drill. They also receive many benefits of regular enlistment. Many who joined the Guard before the Korean G.I.
