Answer:
There are Heroisms All Around Us
Edward Malone, a reporter on the Gazette, asks Gladys Hungerton to marry him but she is only interested in having a hero for her husband. She hints that she might accept his proposal if he becomes famous. Malone dashes off to the offices of the Gazette full of hope.
Try Your Luck with Professor Challenger
Malone asks his boss, McArdle, for a dangerous assignment. He suggests that Malone expose Professor Challenger as a fraud. Malone goes to the Savage Club and asks his friend, Tarp Henry, to tell him more about the professor. With Henry’s help, Malone writes a letter to Challenger asking if he might visit him. He pretends to be a student admirer and asks for clarification on a controversial paper Challenger presented in Vienna.
He is a Perfectly Impossible Person
Challenger writes back to Malone agreeing to see him. At the house, Mrs Challenger warns Malone about her husband’s temper. The professor speaks scientific gibberish to expose Malone as an impostor. They fight and in the struggle tumble into the street. A policeman asks Malone if he wants to press charges but Malone says it was his fault. The professor invites him back inside.
It’s Just the Biggest Thing in the World
Challenger and his wife argue over his unreasonable behaviour. He tells Malone he will talk about what happened in South America but only if Malone promises to tell no-one else. He shows him Maple White’s notebook with the drawing of the stegosaurus and other pieces of evidence. Malone says he believes him and Challenger invites him to the Zoological Society.
There is uproar at the meeting as, instead of giving a simple vote of thanks to the previous speaker, Challenger launches into an attack on his fellow scientists and insists that dinosaurs that still exist. As he cannot be trusted, it is agreed that three representatives will test his findings on behalf of the Society by going out to South America. He will provide them with a map. The three are Professor Summerlee, Lord John Roxton and Malone. Lord John invites Malone to his rooms.
I Was the Flail of the Lord
Lord John tests Malone’s bravery and decides that he will do very well for this mission. He gives Malone a gun and tells of his experiences in South America. Malone makes arrangements with his newspaper for reporting the story. Challenger gives them their final instructions and the three travellers set out from Southampton
Tomorrow We Disappear Into the Unknown
Malone gives some more information about his fellow-travellers and introduces the men they hire to accompany them on the journey. Challenger turns up unexpectedly. They leave the river steamer behind and head off by canoe.
