Towards
twelve
o'clock
,
Pencroft
having
asked
the
engineer
if
they
could
now
remove
him
,
Harding
,
instead
of
replying
,
and
by
an
effort
which
exhibited
the
most
energetic
will
,
got
up
.
But
he
was
obliged
to
lean
on
the
sailor
,
or
he
would
have
fallen
.
492
"
Well
done
!
"
cried
Pencroft
;
"
bring
the
captain
's
litter
.
"
493
The
litter
was
brought
;
the
transverse
branches
had
been
covered
with
leaves
and
long
grass
.
Harding
was
laid
on
it
,
and
Pencroft
,
having
taken
his
place
at
one
end
and
Neb
at
the
other
,
they
started
towards
the
coast
.
There
was
a
distance
of
eight
miles
to
be
accomplished
;
but
,
as
they
could
not
go
fast
,
and
it
would
perhaps
be
necessary
to
stop
frequently
,
they
reckoned
that
it
would
take
at
least
six
hours
to
reach
the
Chimneys
.
The
wind
was
still
strong
,
but
fortunately
it
did
not
rain
.
Although
lying
down
,
the
engineer
,
leaning
on
his
elbow
,
observed
the
coast
,
particularly
inland
.
He
did
not
speak
,
but
he
gazed
;
and
,
no
doubt
,
the
appearance
of
the
country
,
with
its
inequalities
of
ground
,
its
forests
,
its
various
productions
,
were
impressed
on
his
mind
.
However
,
after
traveling
for
two
hours
,
fatigue
overcame
him
,
and
he
slept
.

At
half-past
five
the
little
band
arrived
at
the
precipice
,
and
a
short
time
after
at
the
Chimneys
.
495
They
stopped
,
and
the
litter
was
placed
on
the
sand
;
Cyrus
Harding
was
sleeping
profoundly
,
and
did
not
awake
.
496
Pencroft
,
to
his
extreme
surprise
,
found
that
the
terrible
storm
had
quite
altered
the
aspect
of
the
place
.
Important
changes
had
occurred
;
great
blocks
of
stone
lay
on
the
beach
,
which
was
also
covered
with
a
thick
carpet
of
sea-weed
,
algae
,
and
wrack
.
Evidently
the
sea
,
passing
over
the
islet
,
had
been
carried
right
up
to
the
foot
of
the
enormous
curtain
of
granite
.
The
soil
in
front
of
the
cave
had
been
torn
away
by
the
violence
of
the
waves
.
A
horrid
presentiment
flashed
across
Pencroft
's
mind
.
He
rushed
into
the
passage
,
but
returned
almost
immediately
,
and
stood
motionless
,
staring
at
his
companions
...
.
497
The
fire
was
out
;
the
drowned
cinders
were
nothing
but
mud
;
the
burnt
linen
,
which
was
to
have
served
as
tinder
,
had
disappeared
!
The
sea
had
penetrated
to
the
end
of
the
passages
,
and
everything
was
overthrown
and
destroyed
in
the
interior
of
the
Chimneys
!

In
a
few
words
,
Gideon
Spilett
,
Herbert
,
and
Neb
were
made
acquainted
with
what
had
happened
.
This
accident
,
which
appeared
so
very
serious
to
Pencroft
,
produced
different
effects
on
the
companions
of
the
honest
sailor
.
499
Neb
,
in
his
delight
at
having
found
his
master
,
did
not
listen
,
or
rather
,
did
not
care
to
trouble
himself
with
what
Pencroft
was
saying
.
500
Herbert
shared
in
some
degree
the
sailor
's
feelings
.
