The Lost World Page #2

Synopsis: Explorer Professor Challenger is taking quite a beating in the London press thanks to his claim that living dinosaurs exist in the far reaches of the Amazon. Newspaper reporter Edward Malone learns that this claim originates from a diary given to him by fellow explorer Maple White's daughter, Paula. Malone's paper funds an expedition to rescue Maple White, who has been marooned at the top of a high plateau. Joined by renowned hunter John Roxton, and others, the group goes to South America, where they do indeed find a plateau inhabited by pre-historic creatures, one of which they even manage to bring back to London with them.

A lovely specimen!

We'll stalk it and observe its habits!

But this has been going on for hours -

I'm afraid they're lost -

If they get back we must be here to

show them the way to the tunnel opening.

It's their only hope of escape!

The professors and Mr. Malone are safe -

they'll be here in a minute or two!

I certainly hope that mud holds!

I'm Major Hibbard, of the

Brazilian geodetic Survey.

Yesterday I saw a cloud

of smoke over the plateau -

And we smoked out quite a rat, Major!

I'd give my entrie personal fortune to

get that beast to London - alive!

I'll send for men to dredge out this

stream - built a steel cage and a raft -

and when the big rains come next

month, we might float your "rat" out!

Later - In London.

Mr. Edward Malone, through whose efforts this expedition, was financed,

is now superintending the unloading of the monster from the ship we chartered-

The message I have

been expecting has come!

I'll inform you in a moment when and

where the Brontosaurus will be on view!

As we swung the cage out over the dock

the cables broke-

The fall smashed the cage

- and it got out!

It's running wild

- the streets are in an uproar!

My Brontosaurus has escaped!

Keep off the streets,

untill I recapture it!

This is outrage - we've

been hoaxed again -

Challenger should be run out of town!

That's Sir John Roxton

- sportsman.
