THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter. rejected by the girl he loves because he has no heroic deeds to Lis credit, appeals to his editor for a dangerous assignment and is scut to Interview Professor Challenger, who lias recently returned from South America with a story of the existence there of prehistoric animals. Malone sets out for South America with Professors Summerloe and Challenger and Lord Roxton. well-known explorer. They reach a high cliff, the outlying picket of the lost world, and climb a detached pinnacle, the only means of ascending. For a bridge Jthey throw a tree across the abyss which separates them from the main plateau. Their faithful Zambo has not yet crossed when their bridge goes down. Malone throws Zambo some letters, and an order for rope to take to the steamboat captain. Malone and Lord John save their comrades and some native Indians from fierce apemen. The old Indian chief welcomes the rescuers and his returned son. The, whole Indian army goes in pursuit of the ape-men and wage a succesful battle against them. Some of the Indians accidentally disturb the lairs of some huge beasts and are being chased for their lives. GO ON WITH THK STORY CHAPTER XV (Continued) We had little time -to watch them, however, for in an instant they had overtaken the fugitives and were making a dire slaughter among them. Their method was to fall forward with their full weight upon each In turn, leaving him crushed and mangled, to hound on after the others. The wretched Indians screamed with terror, hut were helpless, run as they would, before the relentless purpose and horrible activity of these monstrous creatures. One after another they went down, and there were not half a dozen surviving by the time my companion and I could come to their help. B.ut our aid was of little avail and only involved in the same peril. At the range of a couple of hundred yards we emptied our magazines, firing bullet after bullet into the beasts, but with no more effect than if we were pelting them with pellets of Their slow reptilian natures cart'd nothing for wounds, and the springs *>f their

lives, with no special brain center but scattered throughout their spinal cords could not be tapped by any modern weapons. The most that we could do was to chpck their progress by distracting their attention with the flash and roar of our guns, and so (o give both the natives and ourselves time to reach the steps which led to safety. But where the conical explosive bullets of the twentieth century were of no avail, the poisoned arrows of the natives, dipped in the Juice of strophanthu* and steeped afterwards in decayed carrion, could succeed. Such arrows were of little avail to the hu”ter who attacked the beast, because their action in that torpid circulation wa's slow, and before its powers failed it could certainly overtake and slay its assailant. But now, as the two monsters hounded us to the very foot of the stairs, a drift of darts came whistling from every chink in the cliff above them. In a minute they were feathered with them, and yet with no sign of pain they clawed and slobbered with impotent rage at the steps Which would lead them to their victims, mounting clumsily up for a few yards and then sliding down again to the ground. But at last the poison worked. One of them gave a deep rumbling groan and dropped his huge squat head on to the earth. The other bounded round in an eccentric circle with shrill, wailing cries, and then lying down writhed in agony for some minutes before it alsc stiffened and lay still. With yells triumph the Indians came flocki. down from their caves and danced a frenzied dance of victory round s dead bodies, in mad joy that tw more of the most dangerous of all their enemies had been slain.

When time comes I will describe that wondrous moonlight night upon the great lake when a young ichthyosaurus—a strange creature, half seal, half fish, to look at, with bone-covered eyes on each side of his snout, and c. third ,eye fixed upon the top of his head—was entangled in an Indian net, and nearly upset- our canoe before we towed it ashore; the same night that a green watersnake shot out from the rushes and carried off in its coils the steersman of Challenger’s canoe. I will tell you, too, of the great nocturnal white thing—to this day we do not know whether it was beast or reptile—which lived in a vile swamp to the east of the lake/and fitted about with a faint phosphorescent glimmer in the darkness. I will tell also of the huge bird which chased Challenger to the shelter of the rocks one day—a great running bird, far taller than an ostrich, with a vulture-like neck and cruel head which made it a walking death. As Challenger climbed to safety one dart of that savage curving beak shore off the heel of his boot as if it had been cut with a chisel. This time at least modern weapons prevailed and the great creature, twelve feet from head to foot—phororachus its name, according to our panting hut exultant professor- —went down before Lord Roxton’s rifle in a , flurry of waving feathers and kicking limbs, with two remorseless yellow eyes glaring up from the midst of it. May I live to seo that flattened vicious skull in its own niche amid the trophies of the Albany. Finally, I will assuredly give some account of the toxodon, the giant ten-foot guinea PigAll this I shall some day write at fuller length, and amidst these ihore stirring days I would tenderly sketch in these lovely summer evenings, when with the deep blue sky above us we lay in good comradeship among the long grasses by the wood and marveled at the strange fowl that, swept over us and the quaint new creatures which crept . from their burrows to watch us, while above us the boughs of the hushes were heavy with luscious fruit, and below us strange and lovely flowers peeped at us from among the herbage; or those long, moonlit nights when we lay out upon the shimmering surface of the great lake and watched with wonder and awe the huge circles rippling out from the sudden splash of some fantastic monster.

One fact we had very speedily discovered. The Indians would do nothing to help us. In every other way they were our friends—one might almost say our devoted slaves —but when it was suggested that they should help us to make and carry a plank v i ich would bridge the chasm, or when we wished to get from them thongs of leather or liana to weave rapes which might help us, we were met by a goodhumored, but an Invincible, refusal.

They would smile, twinkle their eyes, shake their heads and there was the end of It. Even the old chief met us with the same obstinate denial, and it was only Maretas, the youngest whom we had saved, who looked wistfully at us and told us by his gestures that he was grieved for our thwarted wishes. Ever since their crowning triumph with the ape-men they looked upon us as supermen, who bore victory in the tubes of strange weapons, anc they believed that long as we remained with them good fortune would be theirs. A little red-skinned wife and a cook of our own were freely offered to' each of us If we would but forget our own people and dwell forever upon the plateau. So far all had been kindly, however far apart our desires might he; but we felt well assured that our actual plans of a descent must be kept secret, for we had reason to fear that at the last they might try to hold us by force. In spite of the danger from dinosaurs (which is not great) save at night, for, as 1 may have said before, they are mostly nocturnal in their habits), I have twice in the last three weeks been over to our old camp in order to see our negro who still kept watch and ward below the cliff. My eyesh strained eagerly across the great plain in the hope of seeing afar off the help for which we had prayed But the long cac-tus-strewn levels still stretched away, empty and bare, to the distant line of the cane-brake. ‘‘They will soon come now, Massa Malono.
