HE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
SYNOPSIS Malor.u. a London newspaper reporter, rejected by the (firl he loves bocauee he has no heroic deed* to his c.'-ilt, appeals to his editor tor 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 photograph and a piece of the wing of a pterdactyl. Challen.rer calls for volunteers for an expedition to test the truth of his assertion. . . . Malone finds himself a nember of a party of three setting out for South America. The other two are Professor Summerlee. scientist nd Lord John Roxton, well-known explorer. At Manos, Challenger unexpectedly Joins the expedition. They reach the outlying pickets of the lost world and are confronted by a high cliff, The explorers climb a detached pinnacle and fpr a 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 is forced to remain on the other side. They build a retreat called Port Challenger. In traversing the plateau. Volcanic in character, they see many pfl?historic animals. Malone climbs a high tree and makes a chart of the surrounding country. That night he steals away in the moonlight to explore the central lake which he name# Lake Gladys. CHAPTER Xll—Continued Lake Gladys—my own lake—lay like a sheet of quicksilver before me. with a reflected moon shining brightly In the center of It. It was shallow, for In many places I saw low sandbanks protruding above the wa ter. Everywhere upon the still surface I could see signs of life, sometlems mere rings and ripples in the water, sometimes the gleam of a great silver-sided flsh in the air, sometimes the arched, slate-colored back of some passing monster. Once upon a yellow sand bank I saw a creature like a huge swan, with a clumsy body and a high, flexible neck, shuffling about upon the margin. Presently It plunged in, anl for some time I could see the arched neck and darting head undulating over the water. Then It dived, and t saw It no more. My attention was soon drawn away from these distant sights and brought back to what was going on at my very feet. Two creatures like large armadillos had come down to the drinking place, and were squatting at the edge of the water, their long, flexible tongues like red ribbons shooting In and out as they japped. A huge deer, with branching horns, a magnificent creature wh-ch can-led itself like a king, came down with its doe and two fawns and drank beside the armadillos. No such deer exist anywhere else upon the earth, for the moose or elks which I have seen would hardly have reached Its shoulders. Presently it gave a warning snort and was off with Its family among the reeds, while the armadillos also scuttled for shelter. A new-comer, a

most monstrous animal, was coming down the path. For a moment I wondered vHiere I could have seen that ungainly shape, that arched back with triangular fringes along it, that strange bird-like head held close to the ground. Then it back to me. It was the stegosaurus—the very creature which Mapie White had preserved In his sketchbook, and which had been the first object vyhlch arrested the attention of Challenger! There he was—perhaps the very specimen which the American artist had encountered. The ground shook beneath his tremendous weight, and his gulpings of water resounded through the still night. For five minutes he was so close to my rock that by stretching out my hand I could have touched the hideous waving hackles upon hie back. Then he lumbered away and was lost among the bowlders. Looking at my watch, I saw that It was half-past two o'clock, and high time, therefore, that I started upon my homeward journey. There was no difficulty about the direction In which I should return, for all along I had kept ifie little brook upon my left, and it opened into the central lake within a stone’s throw of the bowlder upon which T had been lying. I set off, therefore, in high spirits, for I felt that had done good work ri.d was bringing back a fine budge, of news for my companions. Foremost, of all, of course, were the sight of the fiery caves and the certainty that some troglodytic race Inhabited them. I was plodding up the slope, turning these thoughts over in my mind, and had reached a point which may have been half-way to home, when my mind was brought back to my own positioh by a strange noise behind me. It was something between a snore and a growl, low, deep, and exceedingly menacing. Some strange creature was evidently near me, but nothing could be soon, so I hastened more rapidly upon my way. I had traversed half a mile or so when suddenly the sound was repeated, still behind me, but louder and more menacing than before. My heart stood still within, me as It flashed across me that'the beast, whatever it was, must .surely be after me. My skin grew cold and my hair rose at the thought. With my knees shaking beneath me, I stood and glared with starting eyes down the moonlit path which lay behind me. All was quiet as in a dream landscape. Silver clearings and the black patches of the bushes —nothing else could I see. Then from out of the silence, imminent and threatening there, came once more that ljjw, throaty croaking, far louder and closer than before. There could no longer be a doubt. Something was on my trail, and was closing in upon me ever;' minute.
I stood like a man paralyzed, still staring at the ground which I had traversed. Then suddenly I saw it. There was movement among the bushes at the far end of the clearing Which I had just traversed. A great dark shadow disengaged itself and hopped out into the clear moonlight. I say "hopped” atdvisedly,'for the beast moved Tike a kangaroo, springing along in an erect position upon its powerful hind-legs, while its front ones were held bent in front of It. It was of enormous size and power, like an erect elephant, but its movements, in spite of its bulk, were exceedingly alert. This beast had a broad, squat, toad-like face like that which had alarmed us in our camp. Ills ferocious cry and the horrible energy of his pursuit both assured me that this was surely one of the great flesh-eating dinosaurs, the most terrible beasts which have ever walked this earth. As the huge brute loped along It dropped forward upon its fore-paws and brought its nose to the ground every twenty yards or so. It was smelling out my trail. Some times, for an instant, it was at fault. Then it would catch It up again and come boundirig swiftly along the path I had taken. Even now when I think of that nightmare the sweat breaks out upon my brow. What could I do? My useless fowling piece was in my What Jielp could I get from I looked desperately round for some rock or tree, but I was in a buqhy Jungle with nothing higher than a sapling within sight, while I knew that the creature behind me could tear down as ordinary tree as though it were a weed. My only possible chance lay in flight. I could not move swiftly over the rough, broken ground, but as I looked around me in despair I saw a well-marked, hard-beaten path which ran across in front of me. We had seen several of the 'sort, the runs of various wild beasts, during our expeditions. Along this I could perhaps hold my own, for I was a fast runner, and In excellent condition. Flinging away my useless gun, I set myself to do such a half-mile as I have never done before or sonce. My limbs ached, my ch'est heaved, I felt that my throat would burst for want of air and yet with that horror behind me I ran and I ran and ran. At last I paused, hardly able to move. For a moment I thought that I had thrown him off. The path lay still behind me. And then suddenly, with a clashing and a rending, a thudding of giant fee. and a panting of monster lungs the beast was upon me once more. He was at my very heels. I was lost.
