They are warned that the mummy is cursed. After picking up the crate 3 of the four meet for drinks and see the fourth walking out into the desert. He is never seen again. Very soon afterwords one of the remaining was shot accidentally by a servant packing his hunting rifles, despite the attention of a surgeon wound becomes gangrenous and his arm has to be amputated. The second found on his return to England that his fortune had been lost in bad investments and his is now destitute. The fourth man suffered a severe illness, lost his job and was reduced to selling matches in the street.

Soon after returning to England the two remaining men sell the sarcophagus to a London businessman. The mans wife and 2 children are injured when a carriage overturns and his house burns soon after, destroying his entire collection of Egyptian artifacts, except the sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus was later donated to the British Museum 1889. As the coffin was being unloaded from a wagon in the museum courtyard, the wagon suddenly went into reverse and trapped a passer-by and when two workmen unload it one slipped and broke his leg. The other dies 2 days later. At the Museum night watchmen hear sounds of frantic sobbing and hammering from inside the sarcophagus. Other artifacts are hurled around by unseen hands. One guard dies of fright. The sarcophagus was moved to the basement but the beautiful inner lid was left on display as No. 22542 in the Egyptian Mummy Rooms on the second floor.. Soon after the foreman who supervised the move was found dead.

The mummy was sold to a private collector. After continual misfortune (and deaths), the owner banished it to the attic. A well-known authority on the occult, Madame Helena Blavatsky, visited the premises. Upon entry, she was seized with a shivering fit and searched the house for the source of "an evil influence of incredible intensity." She finally came to the attic and found the mummy case. "Can you exorcise this evil spirit?" asked the owner. "There is no such thing as exorcism. Evil remains evil forever. Nothing can be done about it. I implore you to get rid of this evil as soon as possible."

It was soon sold to an American archaeologist, and arranged for its transport to America. In April 1912, the new owner escorted its treasure aboard a sparkling, new White Star liner about to make its maiden voyage to New York. Because the reputation of the mummy was well known, the owner, who was a chess player named William T. Stead , was afraid that his cargo would not be loaded. Therefore, he secretly arranged for the mummy to be hidden under the body of a new Renault automobile which was being transported to America on the ship. Stead did not reveal the truth about his cargo to the other passengers until the night before the next disaster.

The ship was called the Titanic.

The owner bribed the crew to put the mummy in a life boat and she arrived in America aboard the Carpathia.

The mummy again changed hands and was taken to Canada to be shipped back to England on Empress of Ireland. In heavy fog she is struck by a Norwegian collier Storstand. The Empress rolled over and sank within 14 minutes. There were only 465 survivors out of 1477 passengers and crew. Since the wreck was in the St. Lawrence river a salvage operation began on Empress of Ireland. The salvagers recovered bodies and valuables inside the ship. One of the divers was killed when he fell from near the highest point of the wreck to the riverbed below and his diving equipment was unable to adjust to the sudden pressure increase. The salvage crew resumed their operations and recovered 318 bags of mail and 212 bars of silver worth $1,099,000. At some point the mummy was removed.

They mummy was again shipped to England, this time aboard the Lusitania. Shortly after departure, three German spies were found on board, arrested, and detained below decks. She was torpedoed by a German submarine, U-20, on May 7, 1915. While carrying many American passengers, the great ship sank in just 18 minutes, eight miles (15 km) off of the Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland, killing 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard. Captain Turner stayed in the bridge until the water rushed upward and destroyed the sliding door, sending him out the imploded windows. He took the ship's logbook and charts with him. He managed to get out and find a floating chair in the water, which he clung to. He was pulled unconscious from the water but miraculously survived after spending 3 hours in the water.

Our stories begins.... The innermost coffin and mummy washed up on shore and were taken home by an old Irish fisherman, who buried it in his garden. He died soon after without telling anyone he had found the coffin. Recently his only surviving grandchild, while renovating the cottage came across the buried coffin, completely intact...
