THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter, re lee ted by the xirl he 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 t|ie existence there of prehistoric animals. He shows Malone a sketch of a stegosaurus found among the possessions of a dead explorer. Maple White; gome photographs and a piece of the wing of a pterodactyle. Challenger calls for volunteers for an expedition to test the truth of hit* 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, woll known explorer. At Mono*. Challenger unexpectedly Joins the expedition. They reach the outlying pickets of the lost world and awTionfrontod b.v a high cliff. The explorers climb a detached pinnacle mid for a bridge throw a tree across the abyss which separates them from the main plateau. After they are over a traitor pushes their bridge down. Their faithful Zambo lias remained on the other side. They explore the territory and come upon a group of dinosauria CHAPTER X—Continued Challenger’s cheeks bunched up into a seraphic smile, and Summerlee’s sardonic face softening for the moment Into wonder and reverence. “Nunc dlirlttis!” he cried at last. “What will they say In England of this?” “My dear Summerlee, I will tell you with great confidence exactly what they will say in England,” said Challenger. “They will say that you are an infernal liar and a scientiflo charlatan, exactly as you and others said of me.” “In the face .if photographs?” “'Faked, Summerlee! Clumsily faked!” “In the face of specimens?" "Ah, there we may have them! Malone and his filthy Fleet Street crew may be all yelping praises yet.

it seems that the conditions have not changed, and the beasts have lived.” "If ever we get out of this alive, I must have a head with me,” said Lord John. It Is true that these monstrous creatures which we had seen were lumbering, inoffensive brutes which were unlikely to hurt any one, but in this world of wonders what other survivals might there not be? It was destined that on this very morning—our first in the new coun-try--we were to find out what strange hazards lay around us. We passed very slowly through the woods, partly because Lord Roxton acted as scout before he would us advance, and partly because at every second step one or other of our professors would fall, with a cry of wonder, before some flower or insect which presented him with anew type. We may have traveled two or three miles In all, keeping to the right of the line of the stream, when we came upon a considerable opening in the trees. A belt of brushwood led up to a tangle of rocks —the whole plateau was strewn with bowlders. We were walking slowjy toward these rocks, among bushes which reached over our waist when we became aware of a strange low gabbling and whjstling sound, which filled the air with a constant clamor and appeared to come from some spot immediately before us. Lord John held up his hand as a signal for us io stop, and he made Ids way swiftly, stooping and running, to the line of rocks. We saw him peep over them and give a gesture of amazement. Then he stcod staring as if forgetting us, so j.terly entranced was he by what he saw. Finally he waved us to come on, holding up his hand as a signal for caution. His whole bearing made me feel that something wonderful but dangerous lay before us. Creeping to his side, we looked over the rocks. The place into which we gazed was a pit, and may, in the early days, have been one of the smaller volcanic blow-holes of the plateau. It was bowl-shaped and at the bottom, some hundreds of yards from where we lay, were pools of green-scummed, stagnant water, fringed with bullrushes. It was a weird place in itself, but its occupants made It seem like a scene from the Seven Circle of Dante. The place was a rookery of pterodactyls. There were hundreds of them congregated within view. All the bottom area round the water-edge was alive with their young ones, and with hideous mothers brooding upon their leathery, yellowish eggs. From this crawling flapping mass of obscene reptilian life came the shocking clamor which filled the air and the mephitic, horrible, musty ordor which turned us sick. But above perched each upon its own stone, tall, gray, and withered, more like dead and dried specimens than actual living creatures, sat the horrible males, absolutely motionless save for the rolling of their red eyes or an occasional snap of their rattrap beaks as a dragon-fly went past the’n. Their huge, membranous wings were closed by folding their fore-arms. Our professors would gladly have stayed there all day, so entranced were they by this opportunity of studying the life of a prehistoric age. They pointed out the flsh and the dead birds lying about among the rocks as proving the nature of the food of these creatures, and I heard them congratulating each other on having cleared up the point why the bones of this flying dragon are found in such great numbers in certain wsll-deflned areas, as in the Cambridge Green-sand, since it was now seen that, like penguins, they lived in gregarious fashion. Challenger, bent upon proving some point which Summerlee had contested, thrust his head over the rock and neariy brought destruction upon us all. In an Instant the nearest male gave a shrill, whistling cry, and flapped Its twenty-foot span of leathery wings as It soared up Into the air. The females and young ones huddled together beside the water, while the whole circle of sentinels rose one after the other and sailed off into the sky. It was a wonderful sight to see at least a hundred creatures of such enormous size and hideous appearance all swooping like swallows with swift, shearing

wing-strokes above us: but soon we realized that it was not one on which we could afford to linger. At first the great brutes flew round in a huge ring. Then, the flight grew lower and the circle narrower, until they were whizzing round and round us. “Make for the wood and keep together ” cried Lord John, clubbing his rlflt. “The brutes mean mischief."

WEDNESDAY The Mission of the Disciples Read Lk. 9:1-9. Text: 9:2. And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God. MEDITATION Sent forth to preach the kingdom of God, this is the commission of every believer. The ways of preaching are as manifold as the needs of men—by work, by kindly deed, by example, by leadership In the wor’a.. work. No man Is compelled, but all are Invited to this ministry. • “A man must show himself a true man by choosing the great adventure. The drifter, tin morally lax, the man whose spirit sinks down, into flesh does not get on well In the midst of the mysterious facts of life. A man must gird himself tightly and move out boldly after Chrirt. He must take up life resolutely and put Jt decisively Into Christ’s enterprise, to be and to do all that an unfolding sense of duty may reveal.” PRAYER—Our Father Ood, may Thy kingdom be powerfully preached by Thy believing children. Let the minds of men be open to Thy gospel, their attention arrested and their minds subdued. Teach us faithfulness In the work of Thy kingdom at home and abroad. Amen. (Copyright, 1925—F. L.
