The dirigible approaches the Temple of Bast at Gizah.
The three invisible men move carefully through the temple, passing many guards. They see one basement room with several of the Frenchmen who are tied, gagged and bound.
They continue on to another room where two Egyptian military guards are watching over the body of Ahmed Orabi, who had been slain eleven hours earlier. Richet says softly to Lawrence, "We found him, and it is above a stone floor."

The three passengers drink their invisibility potions as the dirigible lands. Richet says, "Quickly, while the ground crew is distracted with tying us off." They climb over the sides are head off in the pre-arranged direction in search of Meissonier. Lawrence grasps the sap he carried in his pocket. He'll have to strike quickly.
