The tunnel, which the French engineer, Aimé Thomé, planned to build under the English Channel in 1858, would be ventilated by tall chimneys built above sea level. An Englishman, William Lowe, suggested a better plan two years later. Passing trains would solve the problem of ventilation in his proposed double railwaytunnel because they would draw in fresh air behind them. Though work began forty-two years later, it was stopped because the British feared invasion. However, the tunnel was officially opened on March 7, 1994.65.Key to Summary writing

The Lancaster bomber was not too badly damaged when it crashed on a remote island in the South Pacific. Then the wreck remained undisturbed for twenty-six years until it was rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island. The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France, where a group of enthusiasts will be having it restored. They will have to have three of the engines rebuilt, but the fourth engine is still in perfect condition because a colony of bees had turned it into a hive and it was totally covered in beeswax.67.Key to Summary writing

This time he climbed into the mouth of Kituro in order to take photographs and measure temperatures.68.Key to Summary writing

As he always insisted on accompanying her, she had to think of a way of preventing him from following her around all morning.
