FRANK READE
WEEKLY MAGAZINE.
CONTAINING STORIES OF ADVENTURES ON LAND, SEA AND IN THE AIR.
THE ABANDONED COUNTRY; OR, Frank Reade, Jr., Exploring a New Continent.
"So you think the earth has been thoroughly explored, and that there is no such thing as an undiscovered continent, do you?" asked Percy Randall, as he lit a cigar and seated himself comfortably in a chair in the office of Frank Reade, Jr., for a social chat.
The young inventor, who hardly needs an introduction to the reader, so well is he known the world over, turned from his desk and regarded his visitor with a quizzical smile.
"Still at that old theory, Randall?" he said. "I thought you had discarded it after that last expedition of yours."
Randall, a bronzed, athletic man of thirty years, but with heaps of experience as a globe-trotter and explorer, winced, but replied lightly:
"Well, I did have a hard time. We lost our ship in Desolation Channel, and were forced to take to an iceberg. If we had had an overland machine like your Electric Scorcher, we could have easily crossed that ice barrier and set foot upon the new continent, the most wonderful part of the globe. But as it was we were carried north into Cape Horn waters on the berg and finally picked up by an Argentine vessel."
Frank looked interested.
"Then you really believe that there is an inhabited and undiscovered continent beyond that ice barrier?" he asked.
"Why, I have old Jack Wendel's word for it."
