This
wire
lay
along
the
ground
,
and
was
surrounded
with
an
isolating
substance
like
a
submarine
cable
,
so
as
to
assure
the
free
transmission
of
the
current
.
It
appeared
to
pass
through
the
wood
and
the
southern
spurs
of
the
mountain
,
and
consequently
it
ran
towards
the
west
.
"
Follow
it
!
"
said
Cyrus
Harding
.
And
the
settlers
immediately
pressed
forward
,
guided
by
the
wire
.
The
thunder
continued
to
roar
with
such
violence
that
not
a
word
could
be
heard
.
However
,
there
was
no
occasion
for
speaking
,
but
to
get
forward
as
fast
as
possible
.
Cyrus
Harding
and
his
companions
then
climbed
the
spur
rising
between
the
corral
valley
and
that
of
Falls
River
,
which
they
crossed
at
its
narrowest
part
.
The
wire
,
sometimes
stretched
over
the
lower
branches
of
the
trees
,
sometimes
lying
on
the
ground
,
guided
them
surely
.
The
engineer
had
supposed
that
the
wire
would
perhaps
stop
at
the
bottom
of
the
valley
,
and
that
the
stranger
's
retreat
would
be
there
.
Nothing
of
the
sort
.
They
were
obliged
to
ascend
the
south-western
spur
,
and
re-descend
on
that
arid
plateau
terminated
by
the
strangely-wild
basalt
cliff
.
From
time
to
time
one
of
the
colonists
stooped
down
and
felt
for
the
wire
with
his
hands
;
but
there
was
now
no
doubt
that
the
wire
was
running
directly
towards
the
sea
.
There
,
to
a
certainty
,
in
the
depths
of
those
rocks
,
was
the
dwelling
so
long
sought
for
in
vain
.
The
sky
was
literally
on
fire
.
Flash
succeeded
flash
.
Several
struck
the
summit
of
the
volcano
in
the
midst
of
the
thick
smoke
.
It
appeared
there
as
if
the
mountain
was
vomiting
flame
.
At
a
few
minutes
to
eleven
the
colonists
arrived
on
the
high
cliff
overlooking
the
ocean
to
the
west
.
The
wind
had
risen
.
The
surf
roared
500
feet
below
.
Harding
calculated
that
they
had
gone
a
mile
and
a
half
from
the
corral
.
At
this
point
the
wire
entered
among
the
rocks
,
following
the
steep
side
of
a
narrow
ravine
.
The
settlers
followed
it
at
the
risk
of
occasioning
a
fall
of
the
slightly-balanced
rocks
,
and
being
dashed
into
the
sea
.
The
descent
was
extremely
perilous
,
but
they
did
not
think
of
the
danger
;
they
were
no
longer
masters
of
themselves
,
and
an
irresistible
attraction
drew
them
towards
this
mysterious
place
as
the
magnet
draws
iron
.
