Now
,
"
said
Michel
Ardan
,
"
I
have
only
one
thing
more
to
wish
for
you
,
my
brave
captain
.
"
"
What
is
that
?
"
asked
Nicholl
.
"
It
is
that
you
may
lose
your
two
other
bets
!
Then
we
shall
be
sure
not
to
be
stopped
on
our
journey
!
"
The
first
of
December
had
arrived
!
the
fatal
day
!
for
,
if
the
projectile
were
not
discharged
that
very
night
at
10h
.
48m
.
40s
.
P.
M.
,
more
than
eighteen
years
must
roll
by
before
the
moon
would
again
present
herself
under
the
same
conditions
of
zenith
and
perigee
.
The
weather
was
magnificent
.
Despite
the
approach
of
winter
,
the
sun
shone
brightly
,
and
bathed
in
its
radiant
light
that
earth
which
three
of
its
denizens
were
about
to
abandon
for
a
new
world
.
How
many
persons
lost
their
rest
on
the
night
which
preceded
this
long-expected
day
!
All
hearts
beat
with
disquietude
,
save
only
the
heart
of
Michel
Ardan
.
That
imperturbable
personage
came
and
went
with
his
habitual
business-like
air
,
while
nothing
whatever
denoted
that
any
unusual
matter
preoccupied
his
mind
.
After
dawn
,
an
innumerable
multitude
covered
the
prairie
which
extends
,
as
far
as
the
eye
can
reach
,
round
Stones
Hill
.
Every
quarter
of
an
hour
the
railway
brought
fresh
accessions
of
sightseers
;
and
,
according
to
the
statement
of
the
Tampa
Town
Observer
,
not
less
than
five
millions
of
spectators
thronged
the
soil
of
Florida
.
For
a
whole
month
previously
,
the
mass
of
these
persons
had
bivouacked
round
the
enclosure
,
and
laid
the
foundations
for
a
town
which
was
afterward
called
"
Ardan
's
Town
.
"
The
whole
plain
was
covered
with
huts
,
cottages
,
and
tents
.
Every
nation
under
the
sun
was
represented
there
;
and
every
language
might
be
heard
spoken
at
the
same
time
.
It
was
a
perfect
Babel
re-enacted
.
All
the
various
classes
of
American
society
were
mingled
together
in
terms
of
absolute
equality
.
Bankers
,
farmers
,
sailors
,
cotton-planters
,
brokers
,
merchants
,
watermen
,
magistrates
,
elbowed
each
other
in
the
most
free-and-easy
way
.
Louisiana
Creoles
fraternized
with
farmers
from
Indiana
;
Kentucky
and
Tennessee
gentlemen
and
haughty
Virginians
conversed
with
trappers
and
the
half-savages
of
the
lakes
and
butchers
from
Cincinnati
.
Broad-brimmed
white
hats
and
Panamas
,
blue-cotton
trousers
,
light-colored
stockings
,
cambric
frills
,
were
all
here
displayed
;
while
upon
shirt-fronts
,
wristbands
,
and
neckties
,
upon
every
finger
,
even
upon
the
very
ears
,
they
wore
an
assortment
of
rings
,
shirt-pins
,
brooches
,
and
trinkets
,
of
which
the
value
only
equaled
the
execrable
taste
.
Women
,
children
,
and
servants
,
in
equally
expensive
dress
,
surrounded
their
husbands
,
fathers
,
or
masters
,
who
resembled
the
patriarchs
of
tribes
in
the
midst
of
their
immense
households
.
At
meal-times
all
fell
to
work
upon
the
dishes
peculiar
to
the
Southern
States
,
and
consumed
with
an
appetite
that
threatened
speedy
exhaustion
of
the
victualing
powers
of
Florida
,
fricasseed
frogs
,
stuffed
monkey
,
fish
chowder
,
underdone
'
possum
,
and
raccoon
steaks
.
