clearly all except the lower limbs and feet.
Il remembered the pictures 1 had seen
Of reconstructed dinosaurs. This was one of
them surely, though it was not quite as large
as the pictures in my mind made it.
This animal could have been no more
than thirty feet in overall length, whereas
skeletons I had observed in museums were
forty TO sixty feet long.
The front legs seemed to be shorter than
the rear ones. Perhaps that accounted for
the long, high neck that enabled the animal
10 see about The skin a dull grayish
brown. but l could see no sign of scales.
THE animal was herbivorous, for, as it
moved along slowly the head would dip and
that clearly protruded from each side of its
jaw.
THE eyes were SMALL could barely make
them out and hardly well enough to describe
them. The tail sometimes dragged and moved
sideways slowly and deliberately.
Slowly my goth century dnosaur moved
away until I could see only the head and up
per part of the long neck Finally, the morn
ing clouds settled down and soon faint mist
began to fall.
Il sat down on the edge of my cave, eyes
weak and watery from straining.
Then I remembered reports Of the giant
komodo lizard which scientists first scotfed
at as being tabled and untrue.
If said these men OF science. such ami
mails existed-lzards of six hundred pounds
or more who could kill men-we would have
known about them
Yet, as so often happens, the Komodo
lizard story turned out TO be true and was
verified by scientific authority few years
after the presumed rImor had been so holly
denied
Il also recalled how the Quichua Indians
Of the Andes feared the Llanganati region
Captain Erskne Loeb told a little about the
Langanati in his best seller of few years
ago, Fever Famine and Gold He wrote
that he had difficulty in finding party of
Indians 20 go with his expedition. .'
Most Of them deserted though they were
paid double wages The reason seemed to be
that they feared some sort of curse con-

Exg SAW a dinosaur' A dinosaur and
We. Richard D'Orsay and I, were
sitting about after dinner IN my nome e*-
changing news and gossip. Dick had just re-
turned from one Of his long Jaunts IN the
Ilanganati region-remote. desolate, noun
tains and valley waters of the Amazon river,
in Central Ecuador. Practically unknown
He had been searching there for the lost
treasure of the Inca Atahualpa The Valverde
treasure as we call II down here.
Poor D'Orsay," I thought He used TO
be such a bright fellow"
Yet rye known D'Orsay for three years
NV place is a sort of unofficial headquarters
for him on those rare occasions when he drifts
into the city TO get some new clothes and rub
shoulders with civilization for few weeks
Dick is certainly not mental case. True,
he's bit hipped on that subject of the val
verde gold but he isn't alone number OF
reasonably sane men have tried to find H.
No. Dick is a normal well-educated man
~ forty years with reputation for honesty
and sincerity He's been around lot, as
member Of various French exploration so
cieties and has made trips into the Llanganati
region dozen times, each trip lasting from
two 10 seven months. I've never known him
10 come out with tale that smacked OF
pure Imagination.
In fact he always insisted that there was
nothing there in the way OF adventure, only
hard travelling loneliness and sombre beauty.
But Dick saw this saw it clearly and
sharply.
lie wasn't drunk or drugged He didn't
dream IT, He used his two good eyes on a
good clear morning He's not the kind 10 play
such pranks on a friend, especially when such
a prank would make him look like an idiot.
In going over his account a second time,
Dick said that If the animal hadn't moved
off ne could believe that some freaksh FOR
nation of tree stumps or rocks might ac-
count for the illusion.
But whoa,--I'm getting way ahead of the
story ANYHOW III let Dick tell IT himself.
Il had slept the night before in small,
natural cave located the side of large
mountain II was way off the beaten track,
in vast area Of valleys and peaks IN the
! Andes on the east Is an impenetrable sec
ton Of unexplored jungle land on the other
sides were mountain ranges that even burro
cannot climb.
within the fastness Of this Shangri-La
are valleys through which tumblng waters
flow plains OF waist-high grass, forests,
chasms and boulders Of enormous size.
For five years l had been hunting the
great Valverde treasure that believe Is hid
den somewhere in that forbidden land You
remember that when the great Emperor Alta
hualpa was seized for ransom by the Span
ards under Pizarro he ordered his subjects
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-08-16

There is much evidence to believe that the
treasure still lies buried in this region
where Atahualpa's men had buried it.
But perhaps the Indians feared the giant
dinosaur-or others. That may have been
the curse they associated with the gold.
More than one adventurous person has
gone into that region and never returned.
No all dinosaurs were not meat-eaters, but
if the herbivorous kind exist in this lost world,
may not others live there, too? Others who
are flesh-eaters?
Il thought, too, of Conan Doyle's novel
Lost World'-part fiction, part truth, which
described lost civilization of prehistoric
beasts near Mount Roraima on the borders Of
British Guiana and Venezuela in the eastern
part of South America.
THE Llanganati region is across the con-
tinent on the western side but might not
these gigantic monsters have roamed into
more secure territory with an instinct for self
preservation?
And again, not too far away to the
south lies the former republic of Patagonia
divided now between Chile and the Argentine.
The Patagonians, wild powerfully built
Indians had succeeded in domesticating the
giant soth, the mylodon, whose amiable dis
position and gigantic bulk had made IT pos
sible for the prehistoric natives TO fence this
huge mammal IN cave where they fed il
with cut grass and MIXED it-perhaps bar
rel or more at a milking.
This sloth was one OF the stupidest ami
mails that ever lived on the face of the earth
For that reason it was easily tanned It's di-
mansions seemed TO correspond closely to the
animals l mad found"
Wen, that was Richard DOrsays story.
You can bet it left me gaspng
Dick will l know, attempt to return 70
that same valley in the Llanganat region and
perhaps photograph the monster Dick knows
as we'll as anyone, that scientists just don't
go for eyewitness accounts. They have TO
have facts and details and pictures. or bones
