The People That Time Forgot Page #2

What are you talking about?

We just started.

We came here to get Tyler,

and that's what we're going to do.

You better call in the Navy, because we

are going to need some reinforcements.

You worry too much, Hogan.

Get that prop fixed

and check out the tail.

- How's it going?

- Oh, quite well, thank you.

Oh, could I have a photograph of you?

Well, yeah.

Where do you want me?

That rock will do fine.

Makes a good background.

Right.

Okay.

Hold it.

I think McBride's found something

you might like to look at.

Really?

You're a real barrel of laughs,

you know it?

A fully grown stegosaurus.

Now, isn't that absolutely beautiful?

I hope you appreciate this moment, Ben.

Aren't they supposed to be very docile

and very stupid?

- Well, in theory, yes.

- Especially the female of the species.

You know, I've got a feeling

we've just found our winch.

Why don't we use him

to tow the amphib out?

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

It looks big enough.

But suppose he doesn't want to.

All we've got to do is tie a rope to his tail

and make him run away.

- They should make a good anchor point.

- Yeah.

- Is he going to feel this?

- No, not yet.

His nervous system works

about 100 times slower than ours.

I hope you're right.

Hogan!

- Ready?

- Hold onto your hat.

Hey! Charly!

Get the hell out of the way, goddamn it!

Keep your shirt on.

Go on! Go on!

Go on!

Go!

She's clear!

Now, how are we going to stop it?

Major!

Attaboy, major!

Come on, major!

I'm going for the rocks!

Major!

Oh, boy.

Isn't it marvelous? It worked!

You almost got yourself killed.

Listen, your family's newspaper

may be paying for this trip,

but from now on, just quit

clowning around. Understand?

Come on. Now, don't get sore at the major.

Look, I was with him for three years

in France. He's all right.

He's just a little worried about what he's

got us into, you being a lady and all.

You promised to forget that, remember?

As for McBride, don't worry,

I can look after myself.

I'm going to have to cut about 10 inches

off each of those blades

to balance them off.

Then we're going to lose a lot of thrust.

Will it get us in the air?

If none of us has

too big a breakfast, yes.

How long do you figure it'll take?

Well, with the rudder and all

the other items, it's going to be...

it's going to be about 3 or 4 days.

Can't afford to lose that much time.

- You two game to go in on foot?

- Yes!

- Yes.

- You're crazy!

For all we know, Tyler could be sitting

just on the other side of these hills.

We get up to that ridge, we may be able

to see some of those peaks he described.

We'll be heading due south.

In 3 days time, I'll send up a flare, at 9:00
