What could it mean? I had left Alvarez in command. He was my most loyal subordinate. Itwas absolutely beyond the pale of possibility that Alvarez should desert me. No, there was someother explanation. Something occurred to place my second officer, Porfirio Johnson, incommand. I was sure of it but why speculate? The futility of conjecture was only too palpable.The Coldwater had abandoned us in midocean. Doubtless none of us would survive to knowwhy.The young man at the wheel of the power boat had turned her nose about as it becameevident that the ship intended passing over us, and now he still held her in futile pursuit of theColdwater."Bring her about, Snider," I directed, "and hold her due east. We can't catch the Coldwater, and we can't cross the Atlantic in this. Our only hope lies in making the nearest land, which, unless I am mistaken, is the Scilly Islands, off the southwest coast of England. Ever heard ofEngland, Snider?""There's a part of the United States of North America that used to be known to the ancientsas New England," he replied. "Is that where you mean, sir?""No, Snider," I replied. "The England I refer to was an island off the continent of Europe. Itwas the seat of a very powerful kingdom that flourished over two hundred years ago. A part ofthe United States of North America and all of the Federated States of Canada once belonged tothis ancient England.""Europe," breathed one of the men, his voice tense with excitement.

Usually I bring several of these books with meupon a cruise, and this time, among others, I have maps of Europe and her surrounding waters. Iwas studying them as we came away from the Coldwater this morning, and luckily I have themwith me.""You are going to try to make Europe, sir?" asked Taylor, the young man who had lastspok

Lost Continent was a masterpiece of its time.
This is the best , most prescient piece of futuristic writing produced by any modern day author that I have ever had the pleasure to read. Leaves Jules Verne in a distant second place. It is a must read and a treasured re-read for all Burrough's devotees.
