He
smiled
serenely

I
was
still
unable
to
sympathize
.
It
was
a
full-page
sketch
of
a
landscape
roughly
tinted
in
color
--
the
kind
of
painting
which
an
open-air
artist
takes
as
a
guide
to
a
future
more
elaborate
effort
.
There
was
a
pale-green
foreground
of
feathery
vegetation
,
which
sloped
upwards
and
ended
in
a
line
of
cliffs
dark
red
in
color
,
and
curiously
ribbed
like
some
basaltic
formations
which
I
have
seen
.
They
extended
in
an
unbroken
wall
right
across
the
background
.
At
one
point
was
an
isolated
pyramidal
rock
,
crowned
by
a
great
tree
,
which
appeared
to
be
separated
by
a
cleft
from
the
main
crag
.
Behind
it
all
,
a
blue
tropical
sky
.

A
thin
green
line
of
vegetation
fringed
the
summit
of
the
ruddy
cliff
.
265
"
Well
?
"
he
asked
.
266
"
It
is
no
doubt
a
curious
formation
,
"
said
I
"
but
I
am
not
geologist
enough
to
say
that
it
is
wonderful
.
"
267
"
Wonderful
!
"
he
repeated
.
"
It
is
unique
.
It
is
incredible
.
No
one
on
earth
has
ever
dreamed
of
such
a
possibility
.
Now
the
next
.

I
turned
it
over
,
and
gave
an
exclamation
of
surprise
.
There
was
a
full-page
picture
of
the
most
extraordinary
creature
that
I
had
ever
seen
.
It
was
the
wild
dream
of
an
opium
smoker
,
a
vision
of
delirium
.
The
head
was
like
that
of
a
fowl
,
the
body
that
of
a
bloated
lizard
,
the
trailing
tail
was
furnished
with
upward-turned
spikes
,
and
the
curved
back
was
edged
with
a
high
serrated
fringe
,
which
looked
like
a
dozen
cocks
'
wattles
placed
behind
each
other
.
In
front
of
this
creature
was
an
absurd
mannikin
,
or
dwarf
,
in
human
form
,
who
stood
staring
at
it
.
269
"
Well
,
what
do
you
think
of
that
?
"
cried
the
Professor
,
rubbing
his
hands
with
an
air
of
triumph
.
270
"
It
is
monstrous
--
grotesque
.
