"
Well
,
"
replied
Harding
,
"
and
in
what
way
do
you
propose
to
escape
?
"
72
"
By
that
lazy
balloon
which
is
left
there
doing
nothing
,
and
which
looks
to
me
as
if
it
was
waiting
on
purpose
for
us
--
"

There
was
no
necessity
for
the
sailor
to
finish
his
sentence
.
The
engineer
understood
him
at
once
.
He
seized
Pencroft
by
the
arm
,
and
dragged
him
to
his
house
.
There
the
sailor
developed
his
project
,
which
was
indeed
extremely
simple
.
They
risked
nothing
but
their
lives
in
its
execution
.
The
hurricane
was
in
all
its
violence
,
it
is
true
,
but
so
clever
and
daring
an
engineer
as
Cyrus
Harding
knew
perfectly
well
how
to
manage
a
balloon
.
Had
he
himself
been
as
well
acquainted
with
the
art
of
sailing
in
the
air
as
he
was
with
the
navigation
of
a
ship
,
Pencroft
would
not
have
hesitated
to
set
out
,
of
course
taking
his
young
friend
Herbert
with
him
;
for
,
accustomed
to
brave
the
fiercest
tempests
of
the
ocean
,
he
was
not
to
be
hindered
on
account
of
the
hurricane
.

Captain
Harding
had
listened
to
the
sailor
without
saying
a
word
,
but
his
eyes
shone
with
satisfaction
.
Here
was
the
long-sought-for
opportunity
--
he
was
not
a
man
to
let
it
pass
.
The
plan
was
feasible
,
though
,
it
must
be
confessed
,
dangerous
in
the
extreme
.
In
the
night
,
in
spite
of
their
guards
,
they
might
approach
the
balloon
,
slip
into
the
car
,
and
then
cut
the
cords
which
held
it
.
There
was
no
doubt
that
they
might
be
killed
,
but
on
the
other
hand
they
might
succeed
,
and
without
this
storm
!
--
Without
this
storm
the
balloon
would
have
started
already
and
the
looked-for
opportunity
would
not
have
then
presented
itself
.
75
"
I
am
not
alone
!
"
said
Harding
at
last
.
76
"
How
many
people
do
you
wish
to
bring
with
you
?
"
asked
the
sailor
.
77
"
Two
;
my
friend
Spilett
,
and
my
servant
Neb.

"
That
will
be
three
,
"
replied
Pencroft
;
"
and
with
Herbert
and
me
five
.
But
the
balloon
will
hold
six
--
"
79
"
That
will
be
enough
,
we
will
go
,
"
answered
Harding
in
a
firm
voice
.
80
This
"
we
"
included
Spilett
,
for
the
reporter
,
as
his
friend
well
knew
,
was
not
a
man
to
draw
back
,
and
when
the
project
was
communicated
to
him
he
approved
of
it
unreservedly
.
What
astonished
him
was
,
that
so
simple
an
idea
had
not
occurred
to
him
before
.
As
to
Neb
,
he
followed
his
master
wherever
his
master
wished
to
go
.
