CHAPTER IX.
“Who Could Have Foreseen 187"
DREADFUL thiug has happen
wll 1o us. Who could have fore
cen it 1 canpot foresee any
end to our rroubles. It may
be that we are condeuned to spend
our whole lives In this strange, Inac
cessible place. | am still o confused
that | can hardly think clearly of the
facts of the present or of the chances
of the future. To iy astounded senses
the one secms most terrible and the
other as binck as night.
When I tinished my last letter | stat. ‘
ed that we were within seven mifes
from an enormous line of ruddy cliffs
which encircled, beyond all doubt, the :
plateau of which Professor Challenger
spoke. Thelr height, as we approach- \
ed them, secmed to me in some places
to be grenter than he had stated. run- |
ning up in parts to at least a thousand "
feet, and they were curlously strinted
fu a manner which is, I belleve, char- |
acteristic of basaltic upheavals. Some
thing of the sort is to be seen in Salis- |
bury crags, at Edinburgh. The sum- .
mit showed every sign of a luxuriant
vegetation, with bushes near the edge
and farther back many high trees. ‘
There was no indication of any life |
that we could see ‘
That night we pitched our camp lm
medlately under the cliff —a most wild |
and desolate spot. The crags above
us were rot merely perpendicular. but |
curved outward at the top, so that as- |
cent was out of the question. . i
In the morning, after a frugal break- | |
fast of coffee and manfoc—we had to|
be economical of our stores—we held a
council of war as to the best method | |
of ascending to the plateau above us. |-
Challenger presided with a solemnity ; ]
as If he were the lord chief justice on |
the bench. Pleture him seated upon a| ]
rock, his absurd boylsh straw hat tlll-l‘
ed on the back of his head, his super- |
cilfous eyes dominating us from under |
his drooping lids, his great black beard | |
wacging ns he slowly defined our pres- | -
ent situation and onr future move-|’
ments. 1
“I need not say.” said our leader, | |
“that on the occasion of my last visit ;|
1 exhausted every means of climbing |
the cliff. and where I failed 1 do not |
think any one else is likely to succeed., | |
for 1 am something of a mountaineer. |
I had noune of the appliances of a rock }1
climber with me, but | have taken the | |
precaution to bring them now. Wllh'|
their ald 1 am positive 1 could climb |
that detached piunacle to the summit. |
But so long as the main cliff overhangs | {
it is vain to attempt ascending thul“_|
1 was hurried upon my last visit by |,
the approach of the rainy season nml‘.
by the exhaustion of my supplies. |
These considerations limited my time. ! «
and I ean only clalm that I have sur-h
|
veyed about six mlles of the cliff to | ¢
the east of us, tindinz no possible way | |
up. What. then, shall we now do?” 1
“There secms to be only one reason- | |
able course.” said Professor Summer
lee. “If you have explored the east |t
we should travel along the base of the |
clUff to the west and seek for a prac- | g
ticable point for our ascent.” 1
“That’s it.” said Lord John. *The s
odds are that this platean is of great | t
size, and we shall travel round it until | ¢
we either find an easy way up it or |’
come back to the point from which |
we started.” 1
The ground at the foot of the cliff | |
was rocky and broken, so that the go- | g
fng was slow and difficult. Suddenly | §
we came. however, upon something | y
which cheered our hearts. It was the
site of an old encampment, with sev-| (
‘eral empty Chicago meat tins, a bottle | |
- ” .
and a quaniity of other fraveleß™ Je
bris. A crumpled. disintegrated news
paper revealed Itself as the Chicago
Democrat. thouzh the date Bad been

“Not ‘nine,” sald Challenger. “It
must be Maple White's.”
Lon! John had beeu gaziug curiously
at a zrea? tree fern which overshad
owe! the enampment. “1 say. look at
this” =ald he =l belleve it ¥ neant

We did indeed. but they were of a
terrible and most unexpected nature
Immediately beneath the clff ther
grew a onsiderable patch of high
bamboo, like that which we had tray
ersed In our jJourney Many of these
stems were twenty feet high, with
sharp, strong tops, so that even as the
stood they made formidable spears
We were passing along the edge of
this cover when my eye was caught
by the gleam of something white with
in It. Thrusting in my head between
the stewms, | found myself gazing at
a tleshless skull. The whole skeleton
wias there, but the skull had detached
itself and lay some feet nearer to the i
open 1
With n few blows from the machetes
of our Indians we cleared the spot and
were able to stody the detalls of this
old tragedy Only a few shreds of
clothes could still be distinguished. but
there were the remains of boots npon
the bony feet, and it was very clear
that the dead man was g European. A
gold watch and a chain, which held a
stylographic pen, lay nmong the bones |
There was also a sllver eigarette case,
with =J. C. from A. E. 8.” upon the
lid. The state of the metal seemed to
show that the catastrophe had occur
red no great tie before
- “Who can he be?" asked Lord John
“Poor devil. every bone in his body |
seems to be broken ™ |
“And the bamboo grows through his
smashed ribs,” said Summerlee, It is |
a fast growing plant, but it is surely
inconcetvable that this body could have |
been here while the canes grew to be
twenty feet in length” {
A8 to the man’s identity,” sald Pro |
fessor Challenger, “1 have no doubt
whatever upon that point. As 1 mmle!
my way up the river before I reached |
you at the fazenda | instituted very |
particular Inquiries about Maple White |
At Para they knew nothing. Fortu- |
nately. I had a definite clew, for there |
was a particular pleture in his sketch
book which showed him taking lunch
with a certain ecclesiastic at Rosario.
This priest 1 was able to find, and
though he proved a very argumenta
tive fellow, who took it absurdly amiss
that 1 should point out to him the cor |
rosive effect which modern ndence‘
must have upon his bellefs, he none th..
less gave me some positive informa
tion. Maple White passed Rosario four
years ago, or two years before [ saw
his dead body. He was not alone at
the time, but there was a friend, an
American named James Colver, who
remained in the boat aud did not meet
this ecclesiastic. [ think, therefore.
that there cun be no doubt that we are
now looking upon the remains of this
James Colver.”
“Nor.” said Lord John, “is there much
doubt as to how he met his death. He i
has fallen or been chucked from the |
top and so been impaled. How else |
could he come by his broken bones and |
how could he have been stuck through
by these canes with their points so |
high above our heads?”
We moved off in silence and contin
ued to coast round the line of cliffs, |
which were as even and unbroken as
some of those monstrous Antarctic jce
fields which 1 have seen depicted as '
stretching from horizon to horizon and
towering hizh above the mastheads of =
the exploring vessel. |
" In five miles we saw no rift or break. |
And then suddenly we perceived some
thing which filled us with new hopo.,
In a, hollow of the rock, protected from
rain, there was drawn a rough arrow
in chalk. pointing still to the west
ward. . i
“Maple White ngafn.” said Professor '
Challenger. “He had some presenti- |
ment that worths foatsteps would fol l

We had proceeded some five more
miles when acain we saw a white ar
row upon the rocks It was at a point |
where the face of the cliff was for the
first time splift into a narrow cleft. In- |
s#ide the cleft was a second gnidance

howerer, that the stone was almed at
us. so the incident surely pointed to
' pumanity —and malevolent humanity
gpon the plateau.
' We withdrew hurriedly frogm the

' plans. The situation was dificult

" trirnze of verdure only a few bundreds
of feet above our beads there was not
one of us who could conceive the idea
' of returning to Loudou until we had
gxrlored 1t to its depths.

1 CHAPTER X. |
i Summeriee No Longer Skeptical. ;
HAT night—l am still speaking |
{ of the first day of our circum- ‘
navization of the plateau—a
great experience awalted us !
aud one which forever set at rest any |
doubt which we could have had as to |
the wonders so near us. |
What occurred was this: Lord John
had shot an ajout, which is a small |
pizlike animal, and, half of it having
lwen given to the Indians, we were
eooking the other half upon our fire.
There is a chill in the air after dark, |
and we had all drawn close to the |
blaze. The night was moonless, bnt!
thére were some stars, and one could |
|®ee for a little distance across the |
plain. Well. suddenly out of the dark
mess, out of the night, there swooped |
something with a swish like an aero i
plane. The whole group of us were'
covered for an instant by a canopy of
lesthery wings, and 1 had a momen ‘
tary vision of a long, snakelike neck.’
a flerce, red. greedy eye and a great I
snapping beak. filled, to my amaze- |
‘ment, with little, gleaming teeth. - The l
mext Instant it was gone—and so was
our dinner. A huge black shadow.
twenty feet across, skimmed up into
the air. For an Instant the monster
wings blotted out the stars, and then
it vanished over the brow of the cliff
above us. We all sat in amazed silence
round the fire, like the heroes of Vireil
{ when the Harpies came down upon
them. It was Summeriee who was the
first to speak.
“Professor Challenger.” sald he. in &
solemn voice. which quavered with
'emotion, “I owe you an apology. Sir.
1 am very much in the wrong, and 1
| beg that you will forget what is past.”
| It was handsomely said. and the two
| len for the first time shook hands. 8o
{much we have gained by this clear vi
slon of onr first pterodactyl. It was
| worth a stolen supper to bring two
{such men together.
| On the sixth day we completed our
| first circuit of the cliffs and found our
{ selves back at the first camp beside the
| Isolated pinnacle of rock. We were a
1| disconsolate party, for nothing could
have been more minute than our in
vestizgation. and it was absolutely cer
| tain that there was no single point
where the most active human bheing
could possibly hope to scale the cliff.
{ The place which Maple White's chalk
| marks had indicated as his own means
of access was now entirely Impassa
| ble.
{ What were we to do now? Our
| stores of provisions, supplemented by
i our guns, were holding out well, but
i the day must come when they would
! need replenishment. In a couple of
| months the rains might be expected.
{and we should be washed out of our
jcamp. The rock was harder than mar
-1 hle, and any attempt at cutting a path
| for so great a height was more than
jour time or resources would admit.
| No wonder that we looked gloomily at
{ each other that night and sought our
,m with hardly a word exchang
