THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter, rejected by the grlrl lie loves because he has no heroic deeds to his 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 of the existence there of prehistoric animals. He shows Malone a sketch of a stegosaurus found among the possessions of a dead explorer Maple White; some photographs and a piece of the wing of a pterodactyls. Challenger calls for volunteers for an expedition to test the truth of his assertion. Malone finds himself a member of a party of three setting out for South America. The other two are Professor Summerlee. scientist, and Lord John Roxton, well known explorer. At Manos. Challenger Unexpectedly joins the expedition. After te r i days of traveling up the Amazon and one of its tributaries, they are forced to abandon the boats and proceed in canoes. They travel several days through a tropical fairyland, and reach the outlying pickets of the Lost World. A high and apparently insurmountable cliff confronts them. They follow the white arrow signs mads by Maple White, and find the bones of Janies Colver. his companion. A cave through which Maple White had reaheed the top of tho plateau has been blocked by fallen stone. The exfilorers climb a detached pinnacle and or a bridge throw a tree across the abyss which separates them from the main plateau. After they are over a traitor pushes their bridge into the abyss. Zambo, their servant, not having crossed, offers his aid. CHAPTER X—Continued It was midday before we had made ourselves secure, but the heat was net oppressive, and the general character of the plateau, both In its temperature and In its vegetation, ■was almost temperate. The beech, the oak, and even the birch were to be found among the tangle of trees which girt us In. One huge glngko tree, topping all the o .hers. shot its great limbs and maidenhair foliage over the fort which we had constructed. Lord John, who had quick* ly taken command In the hour of action. gave us his views. “So long as neither man nor beau has seen or heard us, we are safe,” said he. “From the time they know we are here our troubles begin. “But wo must advance,” I ventured to remark. “By all means, sonny my boy! We will advance. But with common sense. We must never go so far Milk o r : Magnesia Users f;ry This! Science combine* Milk of Magnesia with Mineral Oil to flgbt constipation anil acidosis. Modern civilization with Its heavy overeating and Us lack of exercise has brought two grei.t foes of t human health: constlputu n aid acidosis (sour stomach.) Your iadlgtstion, heartburn, that dark brown tiste in the morning —are all symptoms of this condition. Milk of magnesia Is fine for neutralizing harmful stomach acids but milk of magnesia alone, only goes naif way. Therefore Science has combined pure mineral oil with this splendid agent.

that we can’t get back to our base. Above all, we must never, unless it is life or death, fire off our guns.” "But you fired yesterday,” said Summerlee. “Well, It couldn’t be helped. However, the wind was strong and blew outwards. It Is not likely that the sound could have traveled far into the plateau. By the way, what shall we call this place? I suppose it is up to us give It a name?” There were several suggestions, more or less happy, but Challenger’s was final. “It can have only one name,” said he. “It Is called after the pioneer who discovered it. It i.s Maple White Land.” Maple White Land it became and so it is narr.ed in that chart which has become my special task. So it will, I trust, appear In the atlas of the future. The peaceful penetration of Maple White Laid was the pressing subject before us. We had the evidence of our own eyes that the place was inhabited by some unknown creatures, and there was that of Maple White s sketch book to show that more dreadful and more dangerous monsters might still appear. That .there might also prove to be human occupants and that they were of a malevolent character was suggested by the skeleton Impaled upon the bamboos, which could not have got there had It not been dropped from above. We blocked the entrance to our zareba by filling it up with several thorny bushes, and left our camp with the stores entirely surrounded by this protecting hedge. We then slowly and cautiously set forth Into the unknown, following the course of the little stream which flowed from our spring, as it should always serve us as a guide on our return. Hardly had we started when we came across signs that there were indeed wonders awaiting us. ‘After a few hundred yards of this forest, containing many trees which were quite unknown to me, but which Summerlee, who was the botanißt of the party, recognized as forms of conifera and of cycadaceous plants which have long passed away In the world below, we entered a region where the stream widened out and formed a considerable bog. rfigh reeds of a peculiar type grew thickly before us, which were pronounced to be tquisetacea, or mare’s-talls, with tree-ferns scattered amongst them, al.’ of them swaying in a brisk wind. Suddenly Lord John who was Walking first, halted with unLifted hand. “Look at this!” said he. “By George, this must be the tmil of the father of ail birds!” An enormous three-toed track was imprinted In the soft mud before us. The creature, whatever it was, had crossed the swamp and had passed on into the forest. We all stopped to examine that monstrous spoor. If It were indeed a bird—and what animal could leave such a mark—lts foot wa,s so much larger than an ostrich’s that its height upon the same scale must be enormous. Lord John looked eagerly round him and slipped two cartridges into his elephant-gun. “I’ll stake my good name as a shikarree,” said he, “that the track is a fresh one. The creature has not passed ten minutes. Look how the water is still oozing Into that deeper print! By Jove! See, here is the mark of a little one!” Sure enough, smaller tracks of the same general form were running parallel to the large ones. “But what do you make of this?” cried Profdssor Summerlee, triumphantly, pointing to what looked like the huge print of a five-fingered human hand appearing among the three-toed marks. “Wealden!” cried Challenger, In an ©cstasy. “I’ve seen them in the Wealden clay. It Is a creature walking erect upon three-toed feet, and occasionally putting one of its fivefingered forepaws upon the ground. Not a bird, my dear Roxton—not a bird.” “A bear..?” “No: a reptile—a dinosaur Nothing else could have left such e track. They puzzled a worthy Sussex doctor some ninety years ago; but who

in the world could have hoped—hoped—to have seen a sight like that?” Beyond was an open glade, and in this were five of the most extraordinary creatures that I have ever seen. Crouching down among the bushes, we observed them at our leisure. There were, as I say, five of them, two being adults and three young ones. In size they were enormous. Even the babies were as big as elephants, while the two large ones were far beyond all creatures I have ever seen. They had slate-colored skin, which was scaled like a lizard’s and shimmered where the sun shone upon it. All five were sitting up, balancing themselves upon their broad, powerful tails and their huge three-toed hind-feet, while with their small five-flngered front-feet they pulled down the branches upon which they browsed. I do not know that I can bring their appearance home to you better than by saying that they looked like monstrous kangaroos, twenty feet in length, and with skins like black crocodiles. I do not know how long we stayed motionless gazing at this marvelous spectacle. A strong wind blew toward us and we were well concealed, so there was no chance of discovery. The strength of the parents seemed to be limitless, for one of them, having some difficulty in reaching a bunch of foliage which grew upon a considerable-sized tree, put his fore-legs round the trunk and tore it down as if it had been a sapling. The action seemed, as I thought, to show not only the great development of its musclet, but also the small one of its brain, for the whole weight came crashing down upon the top of it, and it uttered a series of shrill yelps to show that, big as It was, there was a limit to what it could endure. The incident made it think, apparently, that the neighborhood was dangerous, tor it slowly lurched off through the wood, followed by its mate and its three enormous Infants. J A .

TUESDAY Hie Great Fundamental Read Luke 8:22-26. Text: 8:25. And h said unto them, where Is your faith? Meditation—Jesus did not so much consider the little things of character aa he did those essential to full spiritual manhood. Steadfast faith was one essential. “The highest security against temptation ltes in the steady development of an affirmative life. The final aim in life is to be something rather than to avoid or to escape something. • • • The best form of defense lies In spirtual attack. It we walk In the grip of some splendid, far-reaching purpose, we shall put down temptation under our feet. We are in the conqueror’s path If we walk in the Spirit; we shall then walk secure from attack.” In what is your faith? Is it In material things, machinery, wealth, position, health? Let us guard against absorption in these things. ‘'Have faith in God.” Put first things first. Prayer—Eternal God, we pray Thee to make our lives centers of living faith. Let there be an outflow from our hearts that will cause men to turn their thcj|rhU to Thee.
