Harding
made
known
his
ideas
to
his
companions
.
"
Then
,
captain
,
let
us
set
to
work
!
"
replied
Pencroft
.
"
I
have
my
pickaxe
,
and
I
shall
soon
make
my
way
through
this
wall
.
Where
shall
I
strike
?
"
"
Here
,
"
replied
the
engineer
,
showing
the
sturdy
sailor
a
considerable
recess
in
the
side
,
which
would
much
diminish
the
thickness
.
Pencroft
attacked
the
granite
,
and
for
half
an
hour
,
by
the
light
of
the
torches
,
he
made
the
splinters
fly
around
him
.
Neb
relieved
him
,
then
Spilett
took
Neb
's
place
.
This
work
had
lasted
two
hours
,
and
they
began
to
fear
that
at
this
spot
the
wall
would
not
yield
to
the
pickaxe
,
when
at
a
last
blow
given
by
Gideon
Spilett
,
the
instrument
,
passing
through
the
rock
,
fell
outside
.
"
Hurrah
!
hurrah
!
"
cried
Pencroft
.
The
wall
only
measured
there
three
feet
in
thickness
.
Harding
applied
his
eye
to
the
aperture
,
which
overlooked
the
ground
from
a
height
of
eighty
feet
.
Before
him
was
extended
the
sea-coast
,
the
islet
,
and
beyond
the
open
sea
.
Floods
of
light
entered
by
this
hole
,
inundating
the
splendid
cavern
and
producing
a
magic
effect
!
On
its
left
side
it
did
not
measure
more
than
thirty
feet
in
height
and
breadth
,
but
on
the
right
it
was
enormous
,
and
its
vaulted
roof
rose
to
a
height
of
more
than
eighty
feet
.
In
some
places
granite
pillars
,
irregularly
disposed
,
supported
the
vaulted
roof
,
as
those
in
the
nave
of
a
cathedral
,
here
forming
lateral
piers
,
there
elliptical
arches
,
adorned
with
pointed
moldings
,
losing
themselves
in
dark
bays
,
amid
the
fantastic
arches
of
which
glimpses
could
be
caught
in
the
shade
,
covered
with
a
profusion
of
projections
formed
like
so
many
pendants
.
This
cavern
was
a
picturesque
mixture
of
all
the
styles
of
Byzantine
,
Roman
,
or
Gothic
architecture
ever
produced
by
the
hand
of
man
.
And
yet
this
was
only
the
work
of
nature
.
She
alone
had
hollowed
this
fairy
Aihambra
in
a
mass
of
granite
.
