What
do
you
want
,
my
friend
?
"
asked
the
engineer
,
as
if
he
had
returned
from
the
land
of
dreams
.
"
The
torches
will
soon
go
out
.
"
"
Forward
!
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
.
The
little
band
left
the
cavern
and
began
to
ascend
through
the
dark
passage
.
Top
closed
the
rear
,
still
growling
every
now
and
then
.
The
ascent
was
painful
enough
.
The
settlers
rested
a
few
minutes
in
the
upper
grotto
,
which
made
a
sort
of
landing-place
halfway
up
the
long
granite
staircase
Then
they
began
to
climb
again
.
Soon
fresher
air
was
felt
.
The
drops
of
water
,
dried
by
evaporation
,
no
longer
sparkled
on
the
walls
.
The
flaring
torches
began
to
grow
dim
.
The
one
which
Neb
carried
went
out
,
and
if
they
did
not
wish
to
find
their
way
in
the
dark
,
they
must
hasten
.
This
was
done
,
and
a
little
before
four
o'clock
,
at
the
moment
when
the
sailor
's
torch
went
out
in
its
turn
,
Cyrus
Harding
and
his
companions
passed
out
of
the
passage
.
The
next
day
,
the
22nd
of
May
,
the
arrangement
of
their
new
dwelling
was
commenced
.
In
fact
,
the
settlers
longed
to
exchange
the
insufficient
shelter
of
the
Chimneys
for
this
large
and
healthy
retreat
,
in
the
midst
of
solid
rock
,
and
sheltered
from
the
water
both
of
the
sea
and
sky
.
Their
former
dwelling
was
not
,
however
,
to
be
entirely
abandoned
,
for
the
engineer
intended
to
make
a
manufactory
of
it
for
important
works
.
Cyrus
Harding
's
first
care
was
to
find
out
the
position
of
the
front
of
Granite
House
from
the
outside
.
He
went
to
the
beach
,
and
as
the
pickaxe
when
it
escaped
from
the
hands
of
the
reporter
must
have
fallen
perpendicularly
to
the
foot
of
the
cliff
,
the
finding
it
would
be
sufficient
to
show
the
place
where
the
hole
had
been
pierced
in
the
granite
.
The
pickaxe
was
easily
found
,
and
the
hole
could
be
seen
in
a
perpendicular
line
above
the
spot
where
it
was
stuck
in
the
sand
.
Some
rock
pigeons
were
already
flying
in
and
out
of
the
narrow
opening
;
they
evidently
thought
that
Granite
House
had
been
discovered
on
purpose
for
them
.
It
was
the
engineer
's
intention
to
divide
the
right
portion
of
the
cavern
into
several
rooms
,
preceded
by
an
entrance
passage
,
and
to
light
it
by
means
of
five
windows
and
a
door
,
pierced
in
the
front
.
Pencroft
was
much
pleased
with
the
five
windows
,
but
he
could
not
understand
the
use
of
the
door
,
since
the
passage
offered
a
natural
staircase
,
through
which
it
would
always
be
easy
to
enter
Granite
House
.
"
My
friend
,
"
replied
Harding
,
"
if
it
is
easy
for
us
to
reach
our
dwelling
by
this
passage
,
it
will
be
equally
easy
for
others
besides
us
.
I
mean
,
on
the
contrary
,
to
block
up
that
opening
,
to
seal
it
hermetically
,
and
,
if
it
is
necessary
,
to
completely
hide
the
entrance
by
making
a
dam
,
and
thus
causing
the
water
of
the
lake
to
rise
.
