"
Blow
up
the
island
?
"
cried
Pencroft
.
"
Part
of
it
,
at
least
,
"
replied
Spilett
.
"
Listen
to
me
,
my
friends
,
"
said
the
engineer
.
And
he
made
known
to
them
the
result
of
his
observations
.
According
to
him
,
a
cavity
,
more
or
less
considerable
,
must
exist
in
the
mass
of
granite
which
supported
Prospect
Heights
,
and
he
intended
to
penetrate
into
it
.
To
do
this
,
the
opening
through
which
the
water
rushed
must
first
be
cleared
,
and
the
level
lowered
by
making
a
larger
outlet
.
Therefore
an
explosive
substance
must
be
manufactured
,
which
would
make
a
deep
trench
in
some
other
part
of
the
shore
.
This
was
what
Harding
was
going
to
attempt
with
the
minerals
which
nature
placed
at
his
disposal
.
It
is
useless
to
say
with
what
enthusiasm
all
,
especially
Pencroft
,
received
this
project
.
To
employ
great
means
,
open
the
granite
,
create
a
cascade
,
that
suited
the
sailor
.
And
he
would
just
as
soon
be
a
chemist
as
a
mason
or
bootmaker
,
since
the
engineer
wanted
chemicals
.
He
would
be
all
that
they
liked
,
"
even
a
professor
of
dancing
and
deportment
,
"
said
he
to
Neb
,
if
that
was
ever
necessary
.
Neb
and
Pencroft
were
first
of
all
told
to
extract
the
grease
from
the
dugong
,
and
to
keep
the
flesh
,
which
was
destined
for
food
.
Such
perfect
confidence
had
they
in
the
engineer
,
that
they
set
out
directly
,
without
even
asking
a
question
.
A
few
minutes
after
them
,
Cyrus
Harding
,
Herbert
,
and
Gideon
Spilett
,
dragging
the
hurdle
,
went
towards
the
vein
of
coals
,
where
those
shistose
pyrites
abound
which
are
met
with
in
the
most
recent
transition
soil
,
and
of
which
Harding
had
already
found
a
specimen
.
All
the
day
being
employed
in
carrying
a
quantity
of
these
stones
to
the
Chimneys
,
by
evening
they
had
several
tons
.
The
next
day
,
the
8th
of
May
,
the
engineer
began
his
manipulations
.
These
shistose
pyrites
being
composed
principally
of
coal
,
flint
,
alumina
,
and
sulphuret
of
iron
--
the
latter
in
excess
--
it
was
necessary
to
separate
the
sulphuret
of
iron
,
and
transform
it
into
sulphate
as
rapidly
as
possible
.
The
sulphate
obtained
,
the
sulphuric
acid
could
then
be
extracted
.
This
was
the
object
to
be
attained
.
Sulphuric
acid
is
one
of
the
agents
the
most
frequently
employed
,
and
the
manufacturing
importance
of
a
nation
can
be
measured
by
the
consumption
which
is
made
of
it
.
This
acid
would
later
be
of
great
use
to
the
settlers
,
in
the
manufacturing
of
candles
,
tanning
skins
,
etc.
,
but
this
time
the
engineer
reserved
it
for
another
use
.
