But even as I do so, I am overwhelmed by the\u003cbr\u003ewonder of the fact that it should be our little group of the \"Lost\u003cbr\u003eWorld\"--Professor Challenger, Professor Summerlee, Lord John Roxton, and\u003cbr\u003emyself--who have passed through this amazing experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen, some years ago, I chronicled in the Daily Gazette our epoch-making\u003cbr\u003ejourney in South America, I little thought that it should ever fall to my\u003cbr\u003elot to tell an even stranger personal experience, one which is unique in\u003cbr\u003eall human annals and must stand out in the records of history as a great\u003cbr\u003epeak among the humble foothills which surround it.  The event itself will\u003cbr\u003ealways be marvellous, but the circumstances that we four were together at\u003cbr\u003ethe time of this extraordinary episode came about in a most natural and,\u003cbr\u003eindeed, inevitable fashion.  I will explain the events which led up to it\u003cbr\u003eas shortly and as clearly as I can, though I am well aware that the\u003cbr\u003efuller the detail upon such a subject the more welcome it will be to the\u003cbr\u003ereader, for the public curiosity has been and still is insatiable.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082180411632,"sku":"2940013090453","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013090453_p0.jpg?v=1763576319","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013090453","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
