And
besides
,
the
specific
was
at
hand
;
nor
,
doubtless
,
was
he
who
had
brought
it
far
distant
!
And
the
hearts
of
all
were
animated
by
returning
hope
.
This
hope
was
not
disappointed
.
Ten
days
after
,
on
the
20th
of
December
,
Herbert
's
convalescence
commenced
.
He
was
still
weak
,
and
strict
diet
had
been
imposed
upon
him
,
but
no
access
of
fever
supervened
.
And
then
,
the
poor
boy
submitted
with
such
docility
to
all
the
prescriptions
ordered
him
!
He
longed
so
to
get
well
!

Pencroft
was
as
a
man
who
has
been
drawn
up
from
the
bottom
of
an
abyss
.
Fits
of
joy
approaching
delirium
seized
him
.
When
the
time
for
the
third
attack
had
passed
by
,
he
nearly
suffocated
the
reporter
in
his
embrace
.
Since
then
,
he
always
called
him
Dr.
Spilett
.
The
real
doctor
,
however
,
remained
undiscovered
.
"
We
will
find
him
!
"
repeated
the
sailor
.
Certainly
,
this
man
,
whoever
he
was
,
might
expect
a
somewhat
too
energetic
embrace
from
the
worthy
Pencroft
!

The
month
of
December
ended
,
and
with
it
the
year
1867
,
during
which
the
colonists
of
Lincoln
Island
had
of
late
been
so
severely
tried
.
They
commenced
the
year
1868
with
magnificent
weather
,
great
heat
,
and
a
tropical
temperature
,
delightfully
cooled
by
the
sea-breeze
.
Herbert
's
recovery
progressed
,
and
from
his
bed
,
placed
near
one
of
the
windows
of
Granite
House
,
he
could
inhale
the
fresh
air
,
charged
with
ozone
,
which
could
not
fail
to
restore
his
health
.
His
appetite
returned
,
and
what
numberless
delicate
,
savory
little
dishes
Neb
prepared
for
him
!
"
It
is
enough
to
make
one
wish
to
have
a
fever
oneself
!
"
said
Pencroft
.
During
all
this
time
,
the
convicts
did
not
once
appear
in
the
vicinity
of
Granite
House
.
There
was
no
news
of
Ayrton
,
and
though
the
engineer
and
Herbert
still
had
some
hopes
of
finding
him
again
,
their
companions
did
not
doubt
but
that
the
unfortunate
man
had
perished
.
However
,
this
uncertainty
could
not
last
,
and
when
once
the
lad
should
have
recovered
,
the
expedition
,
the
result
of
which
must
be
so
important
,
would
be
undertaken
.
But
they
would
have
to
wait
a
month
,
perhaps
,
for
all
the
strength
of
the
colony
must
be
put
into
requisition
to
obtain
satisfaction
from
the
convicts
.
