"
Take
courage
,
my
friend
,
"
answered
the
engineer
,
pressing
the
reporter
's
hand
.
"
Judge
coolly
.
Think
only
of
this
:
Herbert
must
be
saved
!
"
These
words
restored
to
Gideon
Spilett
that
self-possession
which
he
had
lost
in
a
moment
of
discouragement
on
feeling
his
great
responsibility
.
He
seated
himself
close
to
the
bed
.
Cyrus
Harding
stood
near
.
Pencroft
had
torn
up
his
shirt
,
and
was
mechanically
making
lint
.
Spilett
then
explained
to
Cyrus
Harding
that
he
thought
he
ought
first
of
all
to
stop
the
hemorrhage
,
but
not
close
the
two
wounds
,
or
cause
their
immediate
cicatrization
,
for
there
had
been
internal
perforation
,
and
the
suppuration
must
not
be
allowed
to
accumulate
in
the
chest
.

Harding
approved
entirely
,
and
it
was
decided
that
the
two
wounds
should
be
dressed
without
attempting
to
close
them
by
immediate
coaptation
.
And
now
did
the
colonists
possess
an
efficacious
agent
to
act
against
the
inflammation
which
might
occur
?
Yes
.
They
had
one
,
for
nature
had
generously
lavished
it
.
They
had
cold
water
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
most
powerful
sedative
that
can
be
employed
against
inflammation
of
wounds
,
the
most
efficacious
therapeutic
agent
in
grave
cases
,
and
the
one
which
is
now
adopted
by
all
physicians
.
Cold
water
has
,
moreover
,
the
advantage
of
leaving
the
wound
in
absolute
rest
,
and
preserving
it
from
all
premature
dressing
,
a
considerable
advantage
,
since
it
has
been
found
by
experience
that
contact
with
the
air
is
dangerous
during
the
first
days
.

Gideon
Spilett
and
Cyrus
Harding
reasoned
thus
with
their
simple
good
sense
,
and
they
acted
as
the
best
surgeon
would
have
done
.
Compresses
of
linen
were
applied
to
poor
Herbert
's
two
wounds
,
and
were
kept
constantly
wet
with
cold
water
.
The
sailor
had
at
first
lighted
a
fire
in
the
hut
,
which
was
not
wanting
in
things
necessary
for
life
.
Maple
sugar
,
medicinal
plants
,
the
same
which
the
lad
had
gathered
on
the
banks
of
Lake
Grant
,
enabled
them
to
make
some
refreshing
drinks
,
which
they
gave
him
without
his
taking
any
notice
of
it
.
His
fever
was
extremely
high
,
and
all
that
day
and
night
passed
without
his
becoming
conscious
.
Herbert
's
life
hung
on
a
thread
,
and
this
thread
might
break
at
any
moment
.
The
next
day
,
the
12th
of
November
,
the
hopes
of
Harding
and
his
companions
slightly
revived
.
Herbert
had
come
out
of
his
long
stupor
.
He
opened
his
eyes
,
he
recognized
Cyrus
Harding
,
the
reporter
,
and
Pencroft
.
He
uttered
two
or
three
words
.
He
did
not
know
what
had
happened
.
