"
Oh
,
captain
,
"
replied
the
sailor
,
"
with
a
little
determination
--
"
Pencroft
had
erased
the
word
"
impossible
"
from
the
dictionary
of
Lincoln
Island
.
The
settlers
,
having
arrived
at
Prospect
Heights
,
went
immediately
towards
that
point
of
the
lake
near
which
was
the
old
opening
now
uncovered
.
This
outlet
had
now
become
practicable
,
since
the
water
no
longer
rushed
through
it
,
and
it
would
doubtless
be
easy
to
explore
the
interior
.
In
a
few
minutes
the
settlers
had
reached
the
lower
point
of
the
lake
,
and
a
glance
showed
them
that
the
object
had
been
attained
.
In
fact
,
in
the
side
of
the
lake
,
and
now
above
the
surface
of
the
water
,
appeared
the
long-looked-for
opening
.
A
narrow
ridge
,
left
bare
by
the
retreat
of
the
water
,
allowed
them
to
approach
it
.
This
orifice
was
nearly
twenty
feet
in
width
,
but
scarcely
two
in
height
.
It
was
like
the
mouth
of
a
drain
at
the
edge
of
the
pavement
,
and
therefore
did
not
offer
an
easy
passage
to
the
settlers
;
but
Neb
and
Pencroft
,
taking
their
pickaxes
,
soon
made
it
of
a
suitable
height
.
The
engineer
then
approached
,
and
found
that
the
sides
of
the
opening
,
in
its
upper
part
at
least
,
had
not
a
slope
of
more
than
from
thirty
to
thirty-five
degrees
.
It
was
therefore
practicable
,
and
,
provided
that
the
declivity
did
not
increase
,
it
would
be
easy
to
descend
even
to
the
level
of
the
sea
.
If
then
,
as
was
probable
,
some
vast
cavity
existed
in
the
interior
of
the
granite
,
it
might
,
perhaps
,
be
of
great
use
.
"
Well
,
captain
,
what
are
we
stopping
for
?
"
asked
the
sailor
,
impatient
to
enter
the
narrow
passage
.
You
see
Top
has
got
before
us
!
"
"
Very
well
,
"
replied
the
engineer
.
"
But
we
must
see
our
way
.
Neb
,
go
and
cut
some
resinous
branches
.
"
Neb
and
Herbert
ran
to
the
edge
of
the
lake
,
shaded
with
pines
and
other
green
trees
,
and
soon
returned
with
some
branches
,
which
they
made
into
torches
.
The
torches
were
lighted
with
flint
and
steel
,
and
Cyrus
Harding
leading
,
the
settlers
ventured
into
the
dark
passage
,
which
the
overplus
of
the
lake
had
formerly
filled
.
