The lost world
Lord John held up his hand as a signal for us to stop, and be made his way quickly to the line of rocks. We saw him peep over them and give a gesture of amazement. Then he stood staring as if forgetting us, so completely entranced was he by what he saw. Finally he waved us to come on, holding up his hand for us to be careful. His whole manner made me feel that something wonderful but dangerous lay before us.
Creeping to his side, we looked over the rocks. The place into which we gazed was a pit, and may, in the early days, have been a volcano. It was rounded and at the bottom were pools of green, dirty, stagnant water. It was an unusual place in itself, but what lived there was even stranger. The place was a large nest of pterodactyls. There were hundreds of them. All the bottom area round the water-edge were young pterodactyls, and the hideous mothers were guarding their yellowish eggs. From this crowd of reptiles came a strange odour A) which made us feel sick. But above, each upon its own stone, tall, grey and withered, sat the horrible males.
Challenger, bent on proving some point which Summerlee had disagreed with, thrust his head over the rock and by doing so, nearly killed us all! In an instant the nearest male gave a whistling cry, and flapped its leathery wings B) as It soared up Into the air. The females and young ones huddled together beside the water, while the whole circle of males rose one after the other and sailed off into the sky. It was a wonderful sight to see at least a hundred creatures of such enormous size and hideous appearance all swooping like swallows above us; but soon we realised that we could not afford to linger. At first the great beasts flew round in a huge ring, as if to see what the danger might be. Then, the group got lower and the circle narrower, until they were whizzing round and round us, the dry flap of their huge wings filling the air C) with a terrifying sound.
"Make for the woods and keep together," cried Lord John, grabbing a stick. "The brutes mean mischief."
The moment we attempted to move, the circle closed in upon us. Some of the wings were nearly touching our faces. We beat at them with sticks, but we couldntaskt hit them. Then suddenly, out of the whizzing circle, a long neck shot out D) and a fierce beak made a thrust at us. Another and another followed. Summerlee gave a cry and put his hand to his face. It was bleeding. I felt a prod at the back of my neck, and felt dizzy with the shock. Challenger fell, and as I tried to pick him up I was again struck from behind E) and dropped on top of him. At the same instant, I heard an awful cry as Lord John swung his stick, and I saw one of the creatures with a broken wing struggling on the ground. Its friends had flown higher at the sudden sound, and were circling above our heads.
We staggered forwards to the woods, and even as we reached the trees the beasts were on us again. Summerlee was knocked down, but we pulled him up F) and rushed among the trunks. Once there we were safe, for those huge wings had no space to move beneath the branches. As we struggled homewards, attacked and uneasy, we saw them for a long time flying very high above our heads. They were soaring round and round, looking no bigger than pigeons, with their eyes still following us. At last, however, as we reached the thicker woods they gave up the chase, and we saw them no more.
