"
And
how
shall
we
get
in
?
"
asked
the
sailor
.
"
By
an
outside
ladder
,
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
,
"
a
rope
ladder
,
which
,
once
drawn
up
,
will
render
access
to
our
dwelling
impossible
.
"
"
But
why
so
many
precautions
?
"
asked
Pencroft
.
"
As
yet
we
have
seen
no
dangerous
animals
.
As
to
our
island
being
inhabited
by
natives
,
I
do
n't
believe
it
!
"
"
Are
you
quite
sure
of
that
,
Pencroft
?
"
asked
the
engineer
,
looking
at
the
sailor
.
"
Of
course
we
shall
not
be
quite
sure
,
till
we
have
explored
it
in
every
direction
,
"
replied
Pencroft
.
"
Yes
,
"
said
Harding
,
"
for
we
know
only
a
small
portion
of
it
as
yet
.
But
at
any
rate
,
if
we
have
no
enemies
in
the
interior
,
they
may
come
from
the
exterior
,
for
parts
of
the
Pacific
are
very
dangerous
.
We
must
be
provided
against
every
contingency
.
"
Cyrus
Harding
spoke
wisely
;
and
without
making
any
further
objection
,
Pencroft
prepared
to
execute
his
orders
.
The
front
of
Granite
House
was
then
to
be
lighted
by
five
windows
and
a
door
,
besides
a
large
bay
window
and
some
smaller
oval
ones
,
which
would
admit
plenty
of
light
to
enter
into
the
marvelous
nave
which
was
to
be
their
chief
room
.
This
facade
,
situated
at
a
height
of
eighty
feet
above
the
ground
,
was
exposed
to
the
east
,
and
the
rising
sun
saluted
it
with
its
first
rays
.
It
was
found
to
be
just
at
that
part
of
the
cliff
which
was
between
the
projection
at
the
mouth
of
the
Mercy
and
a
perpendicular
line
traced
above
the
heap
of
rocks
which
formed
the
Chimneys
.
Thus
the
winds
from
the
northeast
would
only
strike
it
obliquely
,
for
it
was
protected
by
the
projection
.
Besides
,
until
the
window-frames
were
made
,
the
engineer
meant
to
close
the
openings
with
thick
shutters
,
which
would
prevent
either
wind
or
rain
from
entering
,
and
which
could
be
concealed
in
need
.
The
first
work
was
to
make
the
openings
.
This
would
have
taken
too
long
with
the
pickaxe
alone
,
and
it
is
known
that
Harding
was
an
ingenious
man
.
He
had
still
a
quantity
of
nitro-glycerine
at
his
disposal
,
and
he
employed
it
usefully
.
By
means
of
this
explosive
substance
the
rock
was
broken
open
at
the
very
places
chosen
by
the
engineer
.
Then
,
with
the
pickaxe
and
spade
,
the
windows
and
doors
were
properly
shaped
,
the
jagged
edges
were
smoothed
off
,
and
a
few
days
alter
the
beginning
of
the
work
,
Granite
House
was
abundantly
lighted
by
the
rising
sun
,
whose
rays
penetrated
into
its
most
secret
recesses
.
