prophesied. however, that no one
could have foreseen the extraordinary
turn which they were actually to take
"Of the appearance OF the four
wanderers little need be said, since
their photographs have for some time
been appearing in all the papers. They
bear few traces OF the hardships which
they are said To have undergone. Pro-
fessor Challenger's beard may be
more shaggy. Professor Summerlee's
features more ascetic. Lord John Rox-
toms figure more gaunt. and all three

When quiet had been restored and
the audience resumed their seats after
the ovation which they had given to
the travellers, the chairman, the Duke
of Durham, addressed the meeting. He
would not he said, stand for more
than a moment between that vast as
sembly and the treat which lay be-
fore them. II was not for him to
anticipate what Professor Summarize,
who was the spokesman of the com.
mittee, had to say to them, but it was
common rumor that their expedition
had been crowned by extraordinary
success (Applause.) Apparently the
age of romance was not dead, and
there was common ground upon which
the widest imaginings of the novelist
could meet the actual scientific in
yestigations of the searcher for truth.
He would only add, before he sat
down, that he rejoiced-and all of
them would rejoice-that these gen.
tlemen had returned safe and sound
from their difficult and dangerous
task, for it cannot be denied that any
disaster to such an expedition would
have inflicted a well-night irreparable
loss to the cause of Geological
science Great applause. in which
Professor Challenger was observed to
join.)
Professor Summerlee's rising was
the signal for another extraordinary
outbreak Of enthusiasm, which broke
out again at intervals throughout his
address. That address will not be
given in extenso in these columns, for
the reason that a full account of the
