Lost in the Slave Land; or, The Mystery of the Sacred Lamp Rock by William Murray Graydon is a late Victorian adventure novel that follows a group of British travelers who become shipwrecked off the coast of Africa and are subsequently captured by slave traders. After a series of perilous encounters—including imprisonment by a hostile tribe and a dramatic escape from the enigmatic "Sacred Lamp Rock"—the protagonists confront various dangers in their quest for freedom. The narrative is marked by vivid depictions of conflict, such as the burning of a village and the downfall of the slavers, reflecting the era's fascination with imperial adventure and moral justice. Originally published by S.W. Partridge & Co. around 1902, the book features six illustrations and was part of a series aimed at young readers seeking thrilling tales set in exotic locales.
