To my astounded senses the one seems most terrible and the other as black as night. No men have ever found themselves in a worse posblon; nor is there any use of disclosing to you our exact geographical si u lion and asking our iriends for a relief party. Even if they could send c ne, our fate will in all human probability be decided long before It could arrive in South America.

There lies our ne and only hope. It is only when t look upon the untrouhled faces of my comrades that I see some glimmer through the dar, ness. Outwardly I trust that I a tpttr as unconcerned as they. Inwardly I am filled with apprehension. Let me give you, with as much detail as I can. the sequence of events which have led us to this catastrophe. When I fin i . ; my 1 st letter I stated that we were within seven miles from an enorm ms line of rud v c'ITs, which er. ! ’ and all 'd uthe p'eteau of w . h professor j •I' n.ger • d.e.

I am inclined to think that a good mountaineer. like myself cou d ascend the rock to the top, th. j th he would, of course, he no rearer to the plateau when he had done so.” As Challenger spoke of his ptero dactyl I glanced at Professor Sum merlee, and for the first time I seemed to see some signs of a dawn lng credulity and repentance. There was no sneer upon his thin Ups, but, on the contrary, a gray, drawn look of excitement and amazement. Chal lenger saw it, too, and reveled in the first taste of victory. "Of course, said he, with his clumsy and ponderous sarcasm, "Professor Summerlee will undesstand that when 1 speak of pterodactyl I mean a stork —only it Is the kind of stork which has no feathers, a leathery skin, "inbranous wings, and teeth in its ws." He grinned and blinked and ■ .red until his colleague turned and ./alked away. In the morning, after a frugal breakfast of coffee and manioc—we had to be economical of our stores— we held a council of wav as to the I iest method of ascending to the pia eau above us. Challenger presided with a solem .y as if he were the Lord Chief stice on the Bench. Picture him Mted upon a rock, his absurd boy h straw hat tilted on the back of is head, his supercilious eyes doml .ating us from under his drooping Is, his great black beard wagging s he slowly defined our present sit uation and our future movements. Beneath him you might have seen the three of us—myself, sunburnt, young, vigorous after our open-air tramp; Summerlee, solemn but still critical, behind his eternal pipe; Lord John, as keen as a razor-edge, with .is s pple, alert figure leaning upon his rifle, and his eager eyes fixed eagerly upon the speaker. Behind us were grouped two swarthy half-breeds and a little knot of Indians, while in front and above us towered those huge, ruddy ribs of rocks which kept us from our goal. ‘‘I need not say,” said our leader, "that on the occasion of my last visit I exhausted every means of climbing the cliff, anil where I failed 1 do not think that anyone else is likely to succeed, for I am something of a mountaineer.

With their aid I am posi tive I could climb that detached pinnacle to the summit: but so long as the main cliff overhangs, it is valrt to attempt ascending that. I was hurried upon my last visit by the approach of the rainy season and by the exhaustion of my supplies. These - tde^efons limited my time, and T can only claim that I have surveyed about six miles of the cliff to the east of us, finding no possible w.a\ up. What, then shall we now do'.' "There seems to be only one rea jonable course," said Professor Sum maries. "if you have explored the east, we should travel along the base of the cliff to the west, and seek for n practicable point for our ascent." "That's it," said Lord John. "The .ni ls are that this plateau is of no great size and we shall travel travel round it until we either find an easy w rv up U. or come hack to the point from which we started." "I have already explained to our /nuns friend t)ere," said Challenger the has a way ol alluding to me as if I were a school child ten years old), "that it is quite Impossible that there should be an easy way up any where, for the simple reason that if there were the summit would not 1"* Isolated, and those eundltlons would not obtain which have effected so sincubti an Interference with the Ren era! laws of survival.
