Dr.
Illingworth
was
imperfectly
heard
in
part
of
his
remarks
on
account
of
the
strenuous
opposition
of
the
friends
of
the
explorers
.
Some
attempts
were
also
made
to
pull
him
down
.
Being
a
man
of
enormous
physique
,
however
,
and
possessed
of
a
very
powerful
voice
,
he
dominated
the
tumult
and
succeeded
in
finishing
his
speech
.
It
was
clear
,
from
the
moment
of
his
rising
,
that
he
had
a
number
of
friends
and
sympathizers
in
the
hall
,
though
they
formed
a
minority
in
the
audience
.
The
attitude
of
the
greater
part
of
the
public
might
be
described
as
one
of
attentive
neutrality
.
"
Dr.
Illingworth
began
his
remarks
by
expressing
his
high
appreciation
of
the
scientific
work
both
of
Professor
Challenger
and
of
Professor
Summerlee
.
He
much
regretted
that
any
personal
bias
should
have
been
read
into
his
remarks
,
which
were
entirely
dictated
by
his
desire
for
scientific
truth
.
His
position
,
in
fact
,
was
substantially
the
same
as
that
taken
up
by
Professor
Summerlee
at
the
last
meeting
.
At
that
last
meeting
Professor
Challenger
had
made
certain
assertions
which
had
been
queried
by
his
colleague
.
Now
this
colleague
came
forward
himself
with
the
same
assertions
and
expected
them
to
remain
unquestioned
.
Was
this
reasonable
?
(
'
Yes
,
'
'
No
,
'
and
prolonged
interruption
,
during
which
Professor
Challenger
was
heard
from
the
Press
box
to
ask
leave
from
the
chairman
to
put
Dr.
Illingworth
into
the
street
.
)
A
year
ago
one
man
said
certain
things
.
Now
four
men
said
other
and
more
startling
ones
.
Was
this
to
constitute
a
final
proof
where
the
matters
in
question
were
of
the
most
revolutionary
and
incredible
character
?
There
had
been
recent
examples
of
travelers
arriving
from
the
unknown
with
certain
tales
which
had
been
too
readily
accepted
.
Was
the
London
Zoological
Institute
to
place
itself
in
this
position
?
He
admitted
that
the
members
of
the
committee
were
men
of
character
.
But
human
nature
was
very
complex
.
Even
Professors
might
be
misled
by
the
desire
for
notoriety
.
Like
moths
,
we
all
love
best
to
flutter
in
the
light
.
Heavy-game
shots
liked
to
be
in
a
position
to
cap
the
tales
of
their
rivals
,
and
journalists
were
not
averse
from
sensational
coups
,
even
when
imagination
had
to
aid
fact
in
the
process
.
Each
member
of
the
committee
had
his
own
motive
for
making
the
most
of
his
results
.
(
'
Shame
!
shame
!
'
)
He
had
no
desire
to
be
offensive
.
(
'
You
are
!
'
and
interruption
.
)
The
corroboration
of
these
wondrous
tales
was
really
of
the
most
slender
description
.
What
did
it
amount
to
?
Some
photographs
.
Was
it
possible
that
in
this
age
of
ingenious
manipulation
photographs
could
be
accepted
as
evidence
?
What
more
?
We
have
a
story
of
a
flight
and
a
descent
by
ropes
which
precluded
the
production
of
larger
specimens
.
It
was
ingenious
,
but
not
convincing
.
It
was
understood
that
Lord
John
Roxton
claimed
to
have
the
skull
of
a
phororachus
.
He
could
only
say
that
he
would
like
to
see
that
skull
.
"
LORD
JOHN
ROXTON
:
'
Is
this
fellow
calling
me
a
liar
?
'
(
Uproar
.
)
"
THE
CHAIRMAN
:
'
Order
!
order
!
Dr.
Illingworth
,
I
must
direct
you
to
bring
your
remarks
to
a
conclusion
and
to
move
your
amendment
.
'
"
DR.
ILLINGWORTH
:
'
Your
Grace
,
I
have
more
to
say
,
but
I
bow
to
your
ruling
.
I
move
,
then
,
that
,
while
Professor
Summerlee
be
thanked
for
his
interesting
address
,
the
whole
matter
shall
be
regarded
as
'
non-proven
,
'
and
shall
be
referred
back
to
a
larger
,
and
possibly
more
reliable
Committee
of
Investigation
.
'
"
It
is
difficult
to
describe
the
confusion
caused
by
this
amendment
.
A
large
section
of
the
audience
expressed
their
indignation
at
such
a
slur
upon
the
travelers
by
noisy
shouts
of
dissent
and
cries
of
,
'
Do
n't
put
it
!
'
'
Withdraw
!
'
'
Turn
him
out
!
'
On
the
other
hand
,
the
malcontents
--
and
it
can
not
be
denied
that
they
were
fairly
numerous
--
cheered
for
the
amendment
,
with
cries
of
'
Order
!
'
'
Chair
!
'
and
'
Fair
play
!
'
A
scuffle
broke
out
in
the
back
benches
,
and
blows
were
freely
exchanged
among
the
medical
students
who
crowded
that
part
of
the
hall
.
It
was
only
the
moderating
influence
of
the
presence
of
large
numbers
of
ladies
which
prevented
an
absolute
riot
.
Suddenly
,
however
,
there
was
a
pause
,
a
hush
,
and
then
complete
silence
.
Professor
Challenger
was
on
his
feet
.
His
appearance
and
manner
are
peculiarly
arresting
,
and
as
he
raised
his
hand
for
order
the
whole
audience
settled
down
expectantly
to
give
him
a
hearing
.
"
'
It
will
be
within
the
recollection
of
many
present
,
'
said
Professor
Challenger
,
'
that
similar
foolish
and
unmannerly
scenes
marked
the
last
meeting
at
which
I
have
been
able
to
address
them
.
On
that
occasion
Professor
Summerlee
was
the
chief
offender
,
and
though
he
is
now
chastened
and
contrite
,
the
matter
could
not
be
entirely
forgotten
.
