Shall
we
leave
the
cart
in
the
wood
?
"
asked
Neb.
.
"
No
,
"
replied
the
engineer
,
"
it
is
our
wagon
of
ammunition
and
provisions
,
and
,
if
necessary
,
it
would
serve
as
an
entrenchment
.
"
"
Forward
,
then
!
"
said
Gideon
Spilett

The
cart
emerged
from
the
wood
and
began
to
roll
noiselessly
towards
the
palisade
.
The
darkness
was
now
profound
,
the
silence
as
complete
as
when
Pencroft
and
the
reporter
crept
over
the
ground
.
The
thick
grass
completely
muffled
their
footsteps
.
The
colonists
held
themselves
ready
to
fire
.
Jup
,
at
Pencroft
's
orders
,
kept
behind
.
Neb
led
Top
in
a
leash
,
to
prevent
him
from
bounding
forward
.
The
clearing
soon
came
in
sight
.
It
was
deserted
.
Without
hesitating
,
the
little
band
moved
towards
the
palisade
.
In
a
short
space
of
time
the
dangerous
zone
was
passed
.
Neb
remained
at
the
onagers
'
heads
to
hold
them
.
The
engineer
,
the
reporter
,
Herbert
,
and
Pencroft
,
proceeded
to
the
door
,
in
order
to
ascertain
if
it
was
barricaded
inside
.
It
was
open
!
"
What
do
you
say
now
?
"
asked
the
engineer
,
turning
to
the
sailor
and
Spilett
.

Both
were
stupefied
.
"
I
can
swear
,
"
said
Pencroft
,
"
that
this
gate
was
shut
just
now
!
"
The
colonists
now
hesitated
.
Were
the
convicts
in
the
corral
when
Pencroft
and
the
reporter
made
their
reconnaissance
?
It
could
not
be
doubted
,
as
the
gate
then
closed
could
only
have
been
opened
by
them
.
Were
they
still
there
,
or
had
one
of
their
number
just
gone
out
?
