It
is
becoming
more
and
more
interesting
,
"
murmured
Gideon
Spilett
in
the
sailor
's
ear
,
who
nodded
.
Harding
and
his
companions
rushed
to
the
help
of
their
dog
.
Top
's
barking
became
more
and
more
perceptible
,
and
it
seemed
strangely
fierce
.
Was
he
engaged
in
a
struggle
with
some
animal
whose
retreat
he
had
disturbed
?
Without
thinking
of
the
danger
to
which
they
might
be
exposed
,
the
explorers
were
now
impelled
by
an
irresistible
curiosity
,
and
in
a
few
minutes
,
sixteen
feet
lower
they
rejoined
Top
.
There
the
passage
ended
in
a
vast
and
magnificent
cavern
.
Top
was
running
backwards
and
forwards
,
barking
furiously
.
Pencroft
and
Neb
,
waving
their
torches
,
threw
the
light
into
every
crevice
;
and
at
the
same
time
,
Harding
,
Gideon
Spilett
,
and
Herbert
,
their
spears
raised
,
were
ready
for
any
emergency
which
might
arise
.
The
enormous
cavern
was
empty
.
The
settlers
explored
it
in
every
direction
.
There
was
nothing
there
,
not
an
animal
,
not
a
human
being
;
and
yet
Top
continued
to
bark
.
Neither
caresses
nor
threats
could
make
him
be
silent
.
"
There
must
be
a
place
somewhere
,
by
which
the
waters
of
the
lake
reached
the
sea
,
"
said
the
engineer
.
"
Of
course
,
"
replied
Pencroft
,
"
and
we
must
take
care
not
to
tumble
into
a
hole
.
"
"
Go
,
Top
,
go
!
"
cried
Harding
.
The
dog
,
excited
by
his
master
's
words
,
ran
towards
the
extremity
of
the
cavern
,
and
there
redoubled
his
barking
.
They
followed
him
,
and
by
the
light
of
the
torches
,
perceived
the
mouth
of
a
regular
well
in
the
granite
.
It
was
by
this
that
the
water
escaped
;
and
this
time
it
was
not
an
oblique
and
practicable
passage
,
but
a
perpendicular
well
,
into
which
it
was
impossible
to
venture
.
The
torches
were
held
over
the
opening
:
nothing
could
be
seen
.
Harding
took
a
lighted
branch
,
and
threw
it
into
the
abyss
.
The
blazing
resin
,
whose
illuminating
power
increased
still
more
by
the
rapidity
of
its
fall
,
lighted
up
the
interior
of
the
well
,
but
yet
nothing
appeared
.
The
flame
then
went
out
with
a
slight
hiss
,
which
showed
that
it
had
reached
the
water
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
level
of
the
sea
.
The
engineer
,
calculating
the
time
employed
in
its
fall
,
was
able
to
calculate
the
depth
of
the
well
,
which
was
found
to
be
about
ninety
feet
.
