The
whole
Brazilian
plain
seemed
to
lie
beneath
us
,
extending
away
and
away
until
it
ended
in
dim
blue
mists
upon
the
farthest
sky-line
.
In
the
foreground
was
the
long
slope
,
strewn
with
rocks
and
dotted
with
tree-ferns
;
farther
off
in
the
middle
distance
,
looking
over
the
saddle-back
hill
,
I
could
just
see
the
yellow
and
green
mass
of
bamboos
through
which
we
had
passed
;
and
then
,
gradually
,
the
vegetation
increased
until
it
formed
the
huge
forest
which
extended
as
far
as
the
eyes
could
reach
,
and
for
a
good
two
thousand
miles
beyond
.
I
was
still
drinking
in
this
wonderful
panorama
when
the
heavy
hand
of
the
Professor
fell
upon
my
shoulder
.
"
This
way
,
my
young
friend
,
"
said
he
;
"
vestigia
nulla
retrorsum
.
Never
look
rearwards
,
but
always
to
our
glorious
goal
.
"
The
level
of
the
plateau
,
when
I
turned
,
was
exactly
that
on
which
we
stood
,
and
the
green
bank
of
bushes
,
with
occasional
trees
,
was
so
near
that
it
was
difficult
to
realize
how
inaccessible
it
remained
.
At
a
rough
guess
the
gulf
was
forty
feet
across
,
but
,
so
far
as
I
could
see
,
it
might
as
well
have
been
forty
miles
.
I
placed
one
arm
round
the
trunk
of
the
tree
and
leaned
over
the
abyss
.
Far
down
were
the
small
dark
figures
of
our
servants
,
looking
up
at
us
.
The
wall
was
absolutely
precipitous
,
as
was
that
which
faced
me
.
"
This
is
indeed
curious
,
"
said
the
creaking
voice
of
Professor
Summerlee
.
I
turned
,
and
found
that
he
was
examining
with
great
interest
the
tree
to
which
I
clung
.
That
smooth
bark
and
those
small
,
ribbed
leaves
seemed
familiar
to
my
eyes
.
"
Why
,
"
I
cried
,
"
it
's
a
beech
!
"
"
Exactly
,
"
said
Summerlee
.
"
A
fellow-countryman
in
a
far
land
.
"
"
Not
only
a
fellow-countryman
,
my
good
sir
,
"
said
Challenger
,
"
but
also
,
if
I
may
be
allowed
to
enlarge
your
simile
,
an
ally
of
the
first
value
.
This
beech
tree
will
be
our
saviour
.
"
"
By
George
!
"
cried
Lord
John
,
"
a
bridge
!
