Were
these
,
then
,
the
"
ais
,
"
or
some
other
tardi-graves
,
whose
feet
had
thus
marked
the
soil
?
But
how
,
then
,
explain
the
break
in
the
branches
at
such
a
height
?
Elephants
might
have
,
without
doubt
,
left
such
imprints
,
stamped
these
large
traces
,
made
a
similar
hole
in
the
impenetrable
underwood
.
But
elephants
are
not
found
in
America
.
These
enormous
thick-skinned
quadrupeds
are
not
natives
of
the
New
World
.
As
yet
,
they
have
never
been
acclimated
there
.

The
hypothesis
that
elephants
had
passed
there
was
absolutely
inadmissible
.
However
that
might
be
,
Dick
Sand
hardly
knew
how
much
this
inexplicable
fact
gave
him
to
think
about
.
He
did
not
even
question
the
American
on
this
point
.
What
could
he
expect
from
a
man
who
had
tried
to
make
him
take
giraffes
for
ostriches
?
Harris
would
have
given
him
some
explanation
,
more
or
less
imaginative
,
which
would
not
have
changed
the
situation
.
At
all
events
,
Dick
had
formed
his
opinion
of
Harris
.
He
felt
in
him
a
traitor
!
He
only
awaited
an
occasion
to
unmask
his
disloyalty
,
to
have
the
right
to
do
it
,
and
everything
told
him
that
this
opportunity
was
near
.
But
what
could
be
Harris
's
secret
end
?
What
future
,
then
,
awaited
the
survivors
of
the
"
Pilgrim
?
"
Dick
Sand
repeated
to
himself
that
his
responsibility
had
not
ceased
with
the
shipwreck
.
It
was
more
than
ever
necessary
for
him
to
provide
for
the
safety
of
those
whom
the
waves
had
thrown
on
this
coast
!
This
woman
,
this
young
child
,
these
blacks
--
all
his
companions
in
misfortune
--
it
was
he
alone
who
must
save
them
!
But
,
if
he
could
attempt
anything
on
board
ship
,
if
he
could
act
on
the
sea
,
here
,
in
the
midst
of
the
terrible
trials
which
he
foresaw
,
what
part
could
he
take
?

Dick
Sand
would
not
shut
his
eyes
before
the
frightful
reality
that
each
instant
made
more
indisputable
.
In
this
juncture
he
again
became
the
captain
of
fifteen
years
,
as
he
had
been
on
the
"
Pilgrim
.
"
But
he
would
not
say
anything
which
could
alarm
the
poor
mother
before
the
moment
for
action
had
arrived
.
And
he
said
nothing
,
not
even
when
,
arrived
on
the
bank
of
a
rather
large
stream
,
preceding
the
little
troop
about
one
hundred
feet
,
he
perceived
enormous
animals
,
which
threw
themselves
under
the
large
plants
on
the
brink
.
