The
floor
of
the
cavern
must
thus
be
situated
ninety
feet
above
the
level
of
the
sea
.
"
Here
is
our
dwelling
,
"
said
Cyrus
Harding
.
"
But
it
was
occupied
by
some
creature
,
"
replied
Gideon
Spilett
,
whose
curiosity
was
not
yet
satisfied
.
"
Well
,
the
creature
,
amphibious
or
otherwise
,
has
made
off
through
this
opening
,
"
replied
the
engineer
,
"
and
has
left
the
place
for
us
.
"
"
Never
mind
,
"
added
the
sailor
,
"
I
should
like
very
much
to
be
Top
just
for
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
for
he
does
n't
bark
for
nothing
!
"
Cyrus
Harding
looked
at
his
dog
,
and
those
of
his
companions
who
were
near
him
might
have
heard
him
murmur
these
words
,
--
"
Yes
,
I
believe
that
Top
knows
more
than
we
do
about
a
great
many
things
.
"
However
,
the
wishes
of
the
settlers
were
for
the
most
part
satisfied
.
Chance
,
aided
by
the
marvelous
sagacity
of
their
leader
,
had
done
them
great
service
.
They
had
now
at
their
disposal
a
vast
cavern
,
the
size
of
which
could
not
be
properly
calculated
by
the
feeble
light
of
their
torches
,
but
it
would
certainly
be
easy
to
divide
it
into
rooms
,
by
means
of
brick
partitions
,
or
to
use
it
,
if
not
as
a
house
,
at
least
as
a
spacious
apartment
.
The
water
which
had
left
it
could
not
return
.
The
place
was
free
.
Two
difficulties
remained
;
firstly
,
the
possibility
of
lighting
this
excavation
in
the
midst
of
solid
rock
;
secondly
,
the
necessity
of
rendering
the
means
of
access
more
easy
.
It
was
useless
to
think
of
lighting
it
from
above
,
because
of
the
enormous
thickness
of
the
granite
which
composed
the
ceiling
;
but
perhaps
the
outer
wall
next
the
sea
might
be
pierced
.
Cyrus
Harding
,
during
the
descent
,
had
roughly
calculated
its
obliqueness
,
and
consequently
the
length
of
the
passage
,
and
was
therefore
led
to
believe
that
the
outer
wall
could
not
be
very
thick
.
If
light
was
thus
obtained
,
so
would
a
means
of
access
,
for
it
would
be
as
easy
to
pierce
a
door
as
windows
,
and
to
establish
an
exterior
ladder
.
