ENGLISH VISITORS ESCAPE ROCKSLIDE

A party of sightseers narrowly escaped serious injury last week, when a pair of ancient desert rocks, known locally as ‘Osman’ and ‘Tulap’, suddenly collapsed. ‘There was a tremendous rumbling sound,’ Dr Banks, an archaeologist leading the tour, said, ‘and suddenly the two majestic pillars were reduced to rubble. The natives here are saying that the “lovers” are together at last.’
