And
so
it
is
that
I
have
spent
nearly
the
whole
of
this
our
first
night
upon
the
plateau
writing
up
our
experiences
by
the
light
of
a
single
candle-lantern
.
We
supped
and
camped
at
the
very
edge
of
the
cliff
,
quenching
our
thirst
with
two
bottles
of
Apollinaris
which
were
in
one
of
the
cases
.
It
is
vital
to
us
to
find
water
,
but
I
think
even
Lord
John
himself
had
had
adventures
enough
for
one
day
,
and
none
of
us
felt
inclined
to
make
the
first
push
into
the
unknown
.
We
forbore
to
light
a
fire
or
to
make
any
unnecessary
sound
To-morrow
(
or
today
,
rather
,
for
it
is
already
dawn
as
I
write
)
we
shall
make
our
first
venture
into
this
strange
land
.
When
I
shall
be
able
to
write
again
--
or
if
I
ever
shall
write
again
--
I
know
not
.
Meanwhile
,
I
can
see
that
the
Indians
are
still
in
their
place
,
and
I
am
sure
that
the
faithful
Zambo
will
be
here
presently
to
get
my
letter
.
I
only
trust
that
it
will
come
to
hand
.
P.
S.
--
The
more
I
think
the
more
desperate
does
our
position
seem
.
I
see
no
possible
hope
of
our
return
.
If
there
were
a
high
tree
near
the
edge
of
the
plateau
we
might
drop
a
return
bridge
across
,
but
there
is
none
within
fifty
yards
.
Our
united
strength
could
not
carry
a
trunk
which
would
serve
our
purpose
.
The
rope
,
of
course
,
is
far
too
short
that
we
could
descend
by
it
.
No
,
our
position
is
hopeless
--
hopeless
!
The
most
wonderful
things
have
happened
and
are
continually
happening
to
us
.
All
the
paper
that
I
possess
consists
of
five
old
note-books
and
a
lot
of
scraps
,
and
I
have
only
the
one
stylographic
pencil
;
but
so
long
as
I
can
move
my
hand
I
will
continue
to
set
down
our
experiences
and
impressions
,
for
,
since
we
are
the
only
men
of
the
whole
human
race
to
see
such
things
,
it
is
of
enormous
importance
that
I
should
record
them
whilst
they
are
fresh
in
my
memory
and
before
that
fate
which
seems
to
be
constantly
impending
does
actually
overtake
us
.
Whether
Zambo
can
at
last
take
these
letters
to
the
river
,
or
whether
I
shall
myself
in
some
miraculous
way
carry
them
back
with
me
,
or
,
finally
,
whether
some
daring
explorer
,
coming
upon
our
tracks
with
the
advantage
,
perhaps
,
of
a
perfected
monoplane
,
should
find
this
bundle
of
manuscript
,
in
any
case
I
can
see
that
what
I
am
writing
is
destined
to
immortality
as
a
classic
of
true
adventure
.
On
the
morning
after
our
being
trapped
upon
the
plateau
by
the
villainous
Gomez
we
began
a
new
stage
in
our
experiences
.
The
first
incident
in
it
was
not
such
as
to
give
me
a
very
favorable
opinion
of
the
place
to
which
we
had
wandered
.
As
I
roused
myself
from
a
short
nap
after
day
had
dawned
,
my
eyes
fell
upon
a
most
singular
appearance
upon
my
own
leg
.
My
trouser
had
slipped
up
,
exposing
a
few
inches
of
my
skin
above
my
sock
.
On
this
there
rested
a
large
,
purplish
grape
.
Astonished
at
the
sight
,
I
leaned
forward
to
pick
it
off
,
when
,
to
my
horror
,
it
burst
between
my
finger
and
thumb
,
squirting
blood
in
every
direction
.
My
cry
of
disgust
had
brought
the
two
professors
to
my
side
.
"
Most
interesting
,
"
said
Summerlee
,
bending
over
my
shin
.
"
An
enormous
blood-tick
,
as
yet
,
I
believe
,
unclassified
.
"
"
The
first-fruits
of
our
labors
,
"
said
Challenger
in
his
booming
,
pedantic
fashion
.
"
We
can
not
do
less
than
call
it
Ixodes
Maloni
.
The
very
small
inconvenience
of
being
bitten
,
my
young
friend
,
can
not
,
I
am
sure
,
weigh
with
you
as
against
the
glorious
privilege
of
having
your
name
inscribed
in
the
deathless
roll
of
zoology
.
Unhappily
you
have
crushed
this
fine
specimen
at
the
moment
of
satiation
.
"
"
Filthy
vermin
!
"
I
cried
.
