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 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. Malone sets out for South America with Professors Summer lee and Challenger and Lord Roxton, well-known explorer. They reach a high cliff, the out- ' lying picket of the lost world, and climb a detached pinnacle, the only' means of ascending. For a bridge they throw a tree across the abyss which separates them from the main plateau. Their faithful Zarnbo 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 cdtnrades 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 successful battle against them. The Indians are kind to the explorers, but good nattiredly refuse to help them descend from the plateau. GO ON WITH TTTE STORY CHAPTER XV (Continued) I had one strange experience as I came from this, second visit which had involved my being away for a night from my companions. I was returning alng the well-remembered route, and had reached a spot within a mile or so of the marsh of the pterodactyls, when I saw an extraordinary object approaching me. It was a man who walked inside a framework made of bent canes so that he was enclosed on all sides in a bell-haped cage. As 1 drew nearer I was more amazed still to see that it was Eord John Roxton. When he saw me he slipped from under his curious protection and came towards me laughing, and yet. as I thought, with some confusion in his manner. "Well, young fellah," said he, "who would have thought of meetin’ you up here?" "What In the world are you doing?” I asked. “Visitin’ my friends, the pterodactyls.” said he. "But why?” “Interestin’ leasts, don’t you think? But unsociable; Nasty rude ways with strangers, as you may remember. So I rigged this framework which keeps them from bein’ too pressin’ in their attentions." "But. what do you want in the swamp?”

He looked at me with a very questioning eye, and I read hesitation in his face. "Don’t you think other people besides Professors can want to know things?” he said at last. "I’m studyin’ the pretty dears. That’s enough for you.” "No offense,” said I. His good-humor returned and he laughed. "No offense, young fellah. I’m goln’ to get a young devil chick for Challenger. That’s one of my jobs. No, I don’t want your company. I’m safe in this cage, and you are' not. So long, and I’ll be back In camp by night fall.” He/turned away and I left him wandering on through the wood with his extraordinary cage around him. Challenger had been in the habit of walking off by himself every morn ng and returning from time to time with looks of portentous solemnity, as one who bears the full weight of a great enterprise upon his shoulders. One day, palm branch in hand, and his crowd of adoring Indian women behind him, he led us down to his hidden workshop and took us Into the secret of his plans. The place was a small clearing in the center of a palm grove. In this was one of those boiling mud geysers which I have already described. Around its edge were scattered a number of leathern thongs cut from iguanodon hide, and a large collapsed membrane which proved to be the dried and scraped stomach of bne of the great fish lizards' from the lake. This huge saqk had been sewen up at one end and'only a small orifice left at the other. Into this opening several bambo canes had been inserted and the other ends of these canes were in contact with conical rflay funnels which collected the gas bubbling up through the mud of the geyser. Soon the flaccid organ began to slowly expand and show such a tendency to upward movements that Challenger fastened the cords which held it to the trunks of the surrounding trees. In half an hour a good-sized gas-bag had been formed, and the jerk ng and straining upon the thongs showed that it was capable of .considerable lift. Challenger, like a glad father in the presence of his first-born, stood smiling and stroking, his beard, in silent, selfSatisfied content as he gazed at the creation of his brain. It was Summerlee who first broke the silence. “You don’t mean us to go up in that thing, Challenger?” said he, in an acid voice. "I mean, my dear Suminerlee, to give you such a demonstration of its powers that after seeing it you will, I am sure, have no hesitation in trusting yourself to it.” "You can put it right out of your head now, at once.” said Summerlee with decision, “nothing on earth would induce me to comni/t such a folly. Lord John, I trust that you will not countenance such madness?" "Dooced ingenious, I call it," said our peer. ‘‘l'd like to see how it works.” "So you shall,” said Challenger. “For some days I have exerted my whole brain force upon the problem of how we shall descend from these cliffs. We have satisfied ourselves ti\at w% cannot climb down and that is no tunnel. We are also unable to construct any kind of bridge which may take us back to the pinnacle from which we came. How then shall I find a means to convey us? Some little time ago I had remarked to our young friend here that free hydrogen was evolved from the geyser. The idea of a balloon naturally followed. I was, I will admit, somewhat baffled by the difficulty of discovering an envelope to contain the gas, but the contemplation of the immense entrails of these reptiles supplied me with a solution to the problem. Behold the result!” He put one hand in the front of his ragged jacket and pointed proudly with the other. By this time the gas-bag had swol len to a goodly rotundity and was jerking strongly upon its lashings. "Midsummer madness!” snorted Summerlee. Lord John was delighted with the whole idea. “Clever old dear, ain’t he?” he whispered to me, and then louder to Challenger. “What about a car?” “The car will be my next care. I have already planned how it is to be made and attached. Meanwhile I will simply show you how capable my apparatus is of supporting the weight of each of us.” “All of us, surely?” “No, it is part of my plan that each in turn shall descend as in a parachute, and the balloon he drawn back by means which I shall have no difficulty in perfecting. If it wil support ttie weight of one and let him gently down, it will have done all that Is required of it. I will, ndw show you its capacity in that direction.” He brought out a lump of basalt of a considerable size, cpnstructed in the middle so that a cord could he easily attached to it. This cogl was the one which we had brought with us on the plateau after we had used It for climbing the pinnacle. It was over a hundred feet long, and thougi It was thin it was very strong. He had prepared a sort of collar of leather with many straps depending from it. This collar was placed over the dome of the ballon, and the hanging thongs were gathered together below, so that the pressure of any weight would be diffused over a considerable surface. Then the lump of basalt was fastened to the thongs, and the rope was alowed to hang from the end of It, being passed three times round the Professor's arm. “I will now,” said Challenger, with a smile of pleased anticipation, "demonstrate the carrying power of my balloon.” As he said so he cut with a knife the various lashings that held It.
