 If ever this Pyramid is again taken down, a second bottle 

 wiU be found containing the names of the workmen who erected 

 it in Arwenack Green. These workmen did not see why they 

 should be outdone by their masters, so they collected some foreign 

 coins of small value and put them in a bottle with a paper, on 

 which their own names were written. This second bottle was 

 built into the Pyramid higher up than the first one, and no 

 mention was made of it by the workmen until the Pyramid was 

 completed.
