<p>The Professor purred with satisfaction.</p>
<p>“And then, sir, what did you do next?”</p>
<hr/>
<p>“It was the wet season, <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Malone, and my stores were exhausted. I explored some portion of this huge cliff, but I was unable to find any way to scale it. The pyramidal rock upon which I saw and shot the pterodactyl was more accessible. Being something of a cragsman, I did manage to get half way to the top of that. From that height I had a better idea of the plateau upon the top of the crags. It appeared to be very large; neither to east nor to west could I see any end to the vista of green-capped cliffs. Below, it is a swampy, jungly region, full of snakes, insects, and fever. It is a natural protection to this singular country.”</p>

<p>“Did you see any other trace of life?”</p>
<p>“No, sir, I did not; but during the week that we lay encamped at the base of the cliff we heard some very strange noises from above.”</p>
<p>“But the creature that the American drew? How do you account for that?”</p>
