The
repast
at
length
terminated
;
at
the
moment
when
each
one
was
about
to
give
himself
up
to
sleep
,
Cyrus
Harding
drew
from
his
pocket
little
specimens
of
different
sorts
of
minerals
,
and
just
said
,
--
"
My
friends
,
this
is
iron
mineral
,
this
a
pyrite
,
this
is
clay
,
this
is
lime
,
and
this
is
coal
.
Nature
gives
us
these
things
.
It
is
our
business
to
make
a
right
use
of
them
.
To-morrow
we
will
commence
operations
.
"
"
Well
,
captain
,
where
are
we
going
to
begin
?
"
asked
Pencroft
next
morning
of
the
engineer
.
"
At
the
beginning
,
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
.
And
in
fact
,
the
settlers
were
compelled
to
begin
"
at
the
very
beginning
.
"
They
did
not
possess
even
the
tools
necessary
for
making
tools
,
and
they
were
not
even
in
the
condition
of
nature
,
who
,
"
having
time
,
husbands
her
strength
.
"
They
had
no
time
,
since
they
had
to
provide
for
the
immediate
wants
of
their
existence
,
and
though
,
profiting
by
acquired
experience
,
they
had
nothing
to
invent
,
still
they
had
everything
to
make
;
their
iron
and
their
steel
were
as
yet
only
in
the
state
of
minerals
,
their
earthenware
in
the
state
of
clay
,
their
linen
and
their
clothes
in
the
state
of
textile
material
.
It
must
be
said
,
however
,
that
the
settlers
were
"
men
"
in
the
complete
and
higher
sense
of
the
word
.
The
engineer
Harding
could
not
have
been
seconded
by
more
intelligent
companions
,
nor
with
more
devotion
and
zeal
.
He
had
tried
them
.
He
knew
their
abilities
.
Gideon
Spilett
,
a
talented
reporter
,
having
learned
everything
so
as
to
be
able
to
speak
of
everything
,
would
contribute
largely
with
his
head
and
hands
to
the
colonization
of
the
island
.
He
would
not
draw
back
from
any
task
:
a
determined
sportsman
,
he
would
make
a
business
of
what
till
then
had
only
been
a
pleasure
to
him
.
Herbert
,
a
gallant
boy
,
already
remarkably
well
informed
in
the
natural
sciences
,
would
render
greater
service
to
the
common
cause
.
Neb
was
devotion
personified
.
Clever
,
intelligent
,
indefatigable
,
robust
,
with
iron
health
,
he
knew
a
little
about
the
work
of
the
forge
,
and
could
not
fail
to
be
very
useful
in
the
colony
.
