Jenny grows jealous of Malone's interest in Malu. He is attacked but is hauled out of the hole. Summerlee falls through the ground into a cavern serving as a pterodactyl rookery. On the trek we see a white peacock and then apatosaurs. For vengeance, Gomez yanks down the rope used to haul the six onto the plateau so that there is no way back down. "We must be constantly on our guard." "Maybe they want their world to saty lost." When they reach the plateau, most are awed, but Summerlee, still skeptical, rejoins, "We've all seen igneous extrusions before." Pujo (= the book's Zambo) appears, but another of the party, Gomez, turns out to have been the brother of the thief Pedro who tried stabbing Challenger and was in turn killed. And with a female guide, Malu, the six row for weeks until landing where they hear native drums. Challenger appears when Summerlee opens what turns out to be a blank map. Jenny turns out to be a wildlife photographer and daughter of rich American contributors to the sciences, and goes, with animal rights sensibilities sneered at by Malone as "zebras' rights. Malone volunteers, Summerlee agrees to go but not if Challenger is going, a newsboy Jim and a woman Jenny Nielson volunteer but are laughingly dismissed. He decides to dare them all at a meeting later that day.Ĭhallenger interrupts a ceremony honoring Professor Summerlee to gather a group to journey to prove his claims. When Malone decides not to press charges and Challenger respects this enough to show him Maple White's sketchbook: "That, my young friend, is the Lost World"-Africa (not South America they filmed in Zimbabwe)-and a pterodactyl which Challenger calls a "beast." Challenger recounts his visit to the dying Maple White, his own near fatal stabbing by a thief named Pedro which kept him from any more than a glimpse of the "lost world, and invokes mocked prophets: "Galileo, Darwin, Challenger!" since the British scientific community does not believe his claims. Malone poses as an Italian scientist, but Challenger sees through it, reveals him to be a Canadian (not Irish) journalist, and wrestles him down a flight of stairs where a policeman awaits. Malone bungles into the office of Gazette editor McArdle looking for an adventurous assignment (but no mention of Gladys Hungerford) and is sent to interview Challenger whose housekeeper (no wife Jessie) warns Malone about her employer.
