THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter, rejected by the tflrl he loves because he has no heroic deeds to Ills credit, appeals to his editor for a dangerous assignment, and is sent to interview Professor Challenger, who has recently returned from South America with a story, which no one believes, of the existence there of prehistoric animals. By way of proof he shows Malone a sketch of a stegosaurus. which he had found among the possession of a dead explorer. Maple White: some photographs: and a piece of the wing of a pterodactyl. At a scientific lecture that night Challenger calls for volunteers for an expedition to test the truth of hts assertion Thus one foggy morning young Malone finds himself a member of a party of three setting out for South America. The other two .re Professor Summerlee, scien- . list, and Lord John Roxton. well known explorer. At Manaos. Challen--ser unexpectedly joins the expedition. .fter ten days of traveling up the Amazou and one of its tributaries they are forced to abandon the boats and take to canoes. At this point they say good-by to civilization and disappear into the unknown. “Yes. sir, war drums,’’ said Gomez, the half-breed. "Wild Indians, bravos not manos; they watch us every mile of the way; kill us if they can." "How can they watch us?” I asked gazing Into the dark, motionless void. The half-breed shrugged his broad shoulders.

sometimes In ob\-lous question and answer, one far to the east breaking out in a hi?h staccato rattle and being followed after a pause by a deep roll from the north. There was something indescribably nerve-shak-ing and menacing in that constant mutter, which seemed to shape Itself Into the very syllables of the helfbreed, endlessly repeated. "We will kill you If we can. We will kill you If we can. No one ever moved In the silent woods. All the peace and soothing of quiet Nature lay In that dark curtain of vegetation, but away from behind these came ever the one message from our fel-low-man. "We will kill you if we can,” said the men In the east. "We will kill you If we can,” said the men In the north. All day the drums rumbled and whispered, while their menace reflected Itself In the faces pf our colored companions. Even the hardy, swaggering half-breed seemed cowed. I learned, however, that day once for all that both Summerlee and Challenger possessed that highest type of bravery, the bravery of the scientific mind. Theirs was
the spirit which upheld Darwin among the gauchos of the Argentine or Wallace among the headhunters of Malaya. It is decreed by a merciful nature that the human brain cannot think of two things simultaneously, so that if It be steeped In curiosity as to science It has no room for merely personal consideration. All day amid that Incessant and mysterious menace our two Professors watched every bird upon the wing, and every shrub upon the bank, with many a sharp wordy contention, when the snarl Os Summerlee came quick upon the deep growl of Challenger, but with no more sense of danger and no mors reference to drum-beating Indians than If they were seated together in the smoking-room of the Royal Society’s Club in St. James’ St. Once only did they condescend to discuss them. "Miranha or Amajuaca cannibals,” said Challenger, Jerking his thumb towards the reverberating wood. “No doubt, sir,” Summerlee answered. "Like all such tribes. I shall expect to find thrStn of polysynthetic speech and of Mongolian type.” "Polysynthetic certainly,” said Challenger, indulgently. "I am not aware that any other type of language exist#- In this continent, and I have notes of more than a hundred. The Mongolian theory I regard with deep suspicion.” “I should have thought that even a limited knowledge of comparative anatomy would have help&d to verify It,” said Summerlee, bitterly. Challenger thrust out his aggressive chin until he was all beard and hat-rim. “No doubt, sir. a limited knowledge would have that effect. Whe< one’s knowledge Is exhaustive, one comes to other conclusions.” They glared at each other in mutual defiance, while all round rose the distant whisper, "We will kill you—we will kill you if we can.’ That night we moored our canoes with heavy stones for anchors in the center of the stream and made every preparation for a possible attack. Nothing came, however, and with the dawn we pushed upon our way, the drum-beating dying out behind us. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon we came to a very steep rapid, more than a mile long—the very one in which Professor Challenger had suffered disaster upon his first journey. I confess that the sight Os It consoled me, for it was really the first direct corroboration, slight as It was, of the truth of his story. The Indians carreid first our canoes and then our stores through the brushwood, which is very thick at this point, while we four whites, our rifles on our shoulders, walked between them and any danger coming from the woods. Before evening we had successfully passed the rapids, and made our way some ten miles above them, where we anchored for the night. At this point I reckoned that we had come not less than a hundred miles up the tributary from the main steram. It was in the early forenoon of the next day that we made the great departure. Since dawn Professor Challenger had been acutely uneasy, continually scanning each bank of

the river. Suddenly he gave an exclamation of satisfaction and pointed to a single tree, which projected at a peculiar angle over the side of the stream. "What do you maka of that?” he asked. "It is surely an Assai palm,” said Summerlee. \ "Exactly. It was an Assai palm which I took for my landmark. The secret opening is half a mile onwards upon the other side of the river. There Is no break in the trees. That is the wonder and the mysterjvof It. There where you see light-green rushes instead of darkgreen undergrowth, there between the great cottonwoods, that is my private gate into the unknown. Push through, and you will understand.” It was indr-sd a wonderful place. Having reached the spot marked by a line of light-green rushes, we poled our two canoes through them for some hundreds of yards, and eventually emerged Into a placid and shallow stream, running clear and trasparent over a sandy bottom. It may have been twenty yards across, and was banked In on each side by most luxuriant vegetation. No cne who had not observed that for a short distance reeds had taken the place of shrubs, could possibly hive guessed the existence of such a stream or dreamed of the fairyland beyond. For a fairyland it was—the most wonderful that the imagination of man could conceive. The thick vegetation met overhead, interlacing into a natural pergola, and through this tunnel of verdure in a golden twilight flowed the green, pellucid river, beautiful in itself, but marvelous from the strange tints thrown by the vivid light from above filtered and tempered in its fall. Clear as crystal, motionless as a sheet of glass, green as the edge of an iceberg, It stretched In front of us under its leafy archway, every’ stroke of our paddles sending a thousand ripples across its shining surface. It was a fitting avenue to a land of wonders. All sig-i of the Indians had passed away, but animal life wa# more frequent, and the tameness of the creatures showed that they knew nothing of the hunter. Fussy little black-velvet monkeys, with snow-white teeth and gibe mi ng, mocking eyes, chattered at u# as we passed, With a dull, heavy splash an occasional cayman plunged In from the bank. Once a dark, clumsy tapir st&red at us from a gap In the bushes, and then lumbered away, through the forest; once, too, the yellow, sinuous form of a great puma whisked amid the brushwood, and Its green, baleful

eyes glared hatred at us over Its tawny shoulder. Bird life was abundant, especially the wading birds, stork, heron, and Ibis gathering In little groups, blue, scarlet, and white, upon every log which jutted from the bank, wbile beneath us the crystal water was alive with fish of every shape and color.

The Choice of Companions
Read Luke 6:12-18. Text: 6:13. Te called his disciples and he chose from them twelve. MEDITATION—Before Jesus selected the twelve who werfc to learn of him and to teach his message he spent s he entire night In player. We need In ljke fashion to give prayerful attention to our choice of companions. We are all susceptible to the influence of others and should select our associated with great care and our confidants with caution. We must have some intimates, true friends, well tried, to whom we may go with our thoughts, our fears and our sorrows, who will hear with sympathy, respect our confidences and help us with sound and kindly advice. To have friends we must first of all learn to be a friend. “So others shall Take patience, labor, to their heart * apd hand From thy hand, and thy heart, and thy brave cheer And God's grace fructify through thee to all.” v PRAYER —Our Savior, we would be true companions of thine, sharing in thy thought for others, thy pain and thy victory. May we learn constancy, integrity and fidelity. Help us to he true friends of those who share their lives with us. Amen. (Copyright. 1025. F. b.
