Can
I
not
go
?
"
he
said
,
"
there
is
still
time
!
"
"
Impossible
,
old
fellow
!
"
replied
Barbicane
.
A
few
moments
later
,
the
three
fellow-travelers
had
ensconced
themselves
in
the
projectile
,
and
screwed
down
the
plate
which
covered
the
entrance-aperture
.
The
mouth
of
the
Columbiad
,
now
completely
disencumbered
,
was
open
entirely
to
the
sky
.
The
moon
advanced
upward
in
a
heaven
of
the
purest
clearness
,
outshining
in
her
passage
the
twinkling
light
of
the
stars
.
She
passed
over
the
constellation
of
the
Twins
,
and
was
now
nearing
the
halfway
point
between
the
horizon
and
the
zenith
.
A
terrible
silence
weighed
upon
the
entire
scene
!
Not
a
breath
of
wind
upon
the
earth
!
not
a
sound
of
breathing
from
the
countless
chests
of
the
spectators
!
Their
hearts
seemed
afraid
to
beat
!
All
eyes
were
fixed
upon
the
yawning
mouth
of
the
Columbiad
.
Murchison
followed
with
his
eye
the
hand
of
his
chronometer
It
wanted
scarce
forty
seconds
to
the
moment
of
departure
,
but
each
second
seemed
to
last
an
age
!
At
the
twentieth
there
was
a
general
shudder
,
as
it
occurred
to
the
minds
of
that
vast
assemblage
that
the
bold
travelers
shut
up
within
the
projectile
were
also
counting
those
terrible
seconds
.
Some
few
cries
here
and
there
escaped
the
crowd
.
"
Thirty-five
!
--
thirty-six
!
--
thirty-seven
!
--
thirty-eight
!
--
thirty-nine
!
--
forty
!
Fire
!!!
"
Instantly
Murchison
pressed
with
his
finger
the
key
of
the
electric
battery
,
restored
the
current
of
the
fluid
,
and
discharged
the
spark
into
the
breech
of
the
Columbiad
.
An
appalling
unearthly
report
followed
instantly
,
such
as
can
be
compared
to
nothing
whatever
known
,
not
even
to
the
roar
of
thunder
,
or
the
blast
of
volcanic
explosions
!
No
words
can
convey
the
slightest
idea
of
the
terrific
sound
!
An
immense
spout
of
fire
shot
up
from
the
bowels
of
the
earth
as
from
a
crater
.
The
earth
heaved
up
,
and
with
great
difficulty
some
few
spectators
obtained
a
momentary
glimpse
of
the
projectile
victoriously
cleaving
the
air
in
the
midst
of
the
fiery
vapors
!
At
the
moment
when
that
pyramid
of
fire
rose
to
a
prodigious
height
into
the
air
,
the
glare
of
flame
lit
up
the
whole
of
Florida
;
and
for
a
moment
day
superseded
night
over
a
considerable
extent
of
the
country
.
This
immense
canopy
of
fire
was
perceived
at
a
distance
of
one
hundred
miles
out
at
sea
,
and
more
than
one
ship
's
captain
entered
in
his
log
the
appearance
of
this
gigantic
meteor
.
The
discharge
of
the
Columbiad
was
accompanied
by
a
perfect
earthquake
.
Florida
was
shaken
to
its
very
depths
.
The
gases
of
the
powder
,
expanded
by
heat
,
forced
back
the
atmospheric
strata
with
tremendous
violence
,
and
this
artificial
hurricane
rushed
like
a
water-spout
through
the
air
.
