"
As
the
search
for
our
mysterious
protector
,
"
added
Gideon
Spilett
,
finishing
the
engineer
's
sentence
.
"
An
,
it
must
be
acknowledged
,
my
dear
Cyrus
,
that
this
time
his
protection
was
wanting
at
the
very
moment
when
it
was
most
necessary
to
us
!
"
"
Who
knows
?
"
replied
the
engineer
.
"
What
do
you
mean
?
"
asked
the
reporter
.

"
That
we
are
not
at
the
end
of
our
trouble
yet
,
my
dear
Spilett
,
and
that
his
powerful
intervention
may
have
another
opportunity
of
exercising
itself
.
But
that
is
not
the
question
now
.
Herbert
's
life
before
everything
.
"
This
was
the
colonists
'
saddest
thought
.
Several
days
passed
,
and
the
poor
boy
's
state
was
happily
no
worse
.
Cold
water
,
always
kept
at
a
suitable
temperature
,
had
completely
prevented
the
inflammation
of
the
wounds
.
It
even
seemed
to
the
reporter
that
this
water
,
being
slightly
sulphurous
,
--
which
was
explained
by
the
neighborhood
of
the
volcano
,
had
a
more
direct
action
on
the
healing
.
The
suppuration
was
much
less
abundant
,
and
thanks
to
the
incessant
care
by
which
he
was
surrounded
!
--
Herbert
returned
to
life
,
and
his
fever
abated
.
He
was
besides
subjected
to
a
severe
diet
,
and
consequently
his
weakness
was
and
would
be
extreme
;
but
there
was
no
want
of
refreshing
drinks
,
and
absolute
rest
was
of
the
greatest
benefit
to
him
.
Cyrus
Harding
,
Gideon
Spilett
,
and
Pencroft
had
become
very
skilful
in
dressing
the
lad
's
wounds
.
All
the
linen
in
the
house
had
been
sacrificed
.
Herbert
's
wounds
,
covered
with
compresses
and
lint
,
were
pressed
neither
too
much
nor
too
little
,
so
as
to
cause
their
cicatrization
without
effecting
any
inflammatory
reaction
.
The
reporter
used
extreme
care
in
the
dressing
,
knowing
well
the
importance
of
it
,
and
repeating
to
his
companions
that
which
most
surgeons
willingly
admit
,
that
it
is
perhaps
rarer
to
see
a
dressing
well
done
than
an
operation
well
performed
.
In
ten
days
,
on
the
22nd
of
November
,
Herbert
was
considerably
better
.
He
had
begun
to
take
some
nourishment
.

The
color
was
returning
to
his
cheeks
,
and
his
bright
eyes
smiled
at
his
nurses
.
He
talked
a
little
,
notwithstanding
Pencroft
's
efforts
,
who
talked
incessantly
to
prevent
him
from
beginning
to
speak
,
and
told
him
the
most
improbable
stories
.
Herbert
had
questioned
him
on
the
subject
of
Ayrton
,
whom
he
was
astonished
not
to
see
near
him
,
thinking
that
he
was
at
the
corral
.
But
the
sailor
,
not
wishing
to
distress
Herbert
,
contented
himself
by
replying
that
Ayrton
had
rejoined
Neb
,
so
as
to
defend
Granite
House
.
"
Humph
!
"
said
Pencroft
,
"
these
pirates
!
they
are
gentlemen
who
have
no
right
to
any
consideration
!
And
the
captain
wanted
to
win
them
by
kindness
!
I
'll
send
them
some
kindness
,
but
in
the
shape
of
a
good
bullet
!
"
"
And
have
they
not
been
seen
again
?
"
asked
Herbert
.
