Allan Quatermain Chapter 11 - The Frowning City

In which we emerge from the mysterious subterranean river into a vast and radiant lake, encountering the haunting sight of a lost companion and soon being hailed by a strange white race inhabiting an extraordinary land. Our arrival at the imposing city of Milosis, with its magnificent granite stairway and regal palace, fills us with awe and foreboding, as we prepare to make our first contact amidst unfamiliar customs and uncertain welcome.
