Following
the
plan
proposed
by
Cyrus
Harding
,
the
space
was
to
be
divided
into
five
compartments
looking
out
on
the
sea
;
to
the
right
,
an
entry
with
a
door
,
which
would
meet
the
ladder
;
then
a
kitchen
,
thirty
feet
long
;
a
dining-room
,
measuring
forty
feet
;
a
sleeping
-
room
,
of
equal
size
;
and
lastly
,
a
"
Visitor
's
room
,
"
petitioned
for
by
Pencroft
,
and
which
was
next
to
the
great
hall
.
These
rooms
,
or
rather
this
suite
of
rooms
,
would
not
occupy
all
the
depth
of
the
cave
.
There
would
be
also
a
corridor
and
a
storehouse
,
in
which
their
tools
,
provisions
,
and
stores
would
be
kept
.
All
the
productions
of
the
island
,
the
flora
as
well
as
the
fauna
,
were
to
be
there
in
the
best
possible
state
of
preservation
,
and
completely
sheltered
from
the
damp
.
There
was
no
want
of
space
,
so
that
each
object
could
be
methodically
arranged
.
Besides
,
the
colonists
had
still
at
their
disposal
the
little
grotto
above
the
great
cavern
,
which
was
like
the
garret
of
the
new
dwelling
.
This
plan
settled
,
it
had
only
to
be
put
into
execution
.
The
miners
became
brickmakers
again
,
then
the
bricks
were
brought
to
the
foot
of
Granite
House
.
Till
then
,
Harding
and
his
companions
had
only
entered
the
cavern
by
the
long
passage
.
This
mode
of
communication
obliged
them
first
to
climb
Prospect
Heights
,
making
a
detour
by
the
river
's
bank
,
and
then
to
descend
two
hundred
feet
through
the
passage
,
having
to
climb
as
far
when
they
wished
to
return
to
the
plateau
.
This
was
a
great
loss
of
time
,
and
was
also
very
fatiguing
.
Cyrus
Harding
,
therefore
,
resolved
to
proceed
without
any
further
delay
to
the
fabrication
of
a
strong
rope
ladder
,
which
,
once
raised
,
would
render
Granite
House
completely
inaccessible
.
This
ladder
was
manufactured
with
extreme
care
,
and
its
uprights
,
formed
of
the
twisted
fibers
of
a
species
of
cane
,
had
the
strength
of
a
thick
cable
.
As
to
the
rounds
,
they
were
made
of
a
sort
of
red
cedar
,
with
light
,
strong
branches
;
and
this
apparatus
was
wrought
by
the
masterly
hand
of
Pencroft
.
Other
ropes
were
made
with
vegetable
fibers
,
and
a
sort
of
crane
with
a
tackle
was
fixed
at
the
door
.
In
this
way
bricks
could
easily
be
raised
into
Granite
House
.
The
transport
of
the
materials
being
thus
simplified
,
the
arrangement
of
the
interior
could
begin
immediately
.
There
was
no
want
of
lime
,
and
some
thousands
of
bricks
were
there
ready
to
be
used
.
The
framework
of
the
partitions
was
soon
raised
,
very
roughly
at
first
,
and
in
a
short
time
,
the
cave
was
divided
into
rooms
and
storehouses
,
according
to
the
plan
agreed
upon
.
These
different
works
progressed
rapidly
under
the
direction
of
the
engineer
,
who
himself
handled
the
hammer
and
the
trowel
.
No
labor
came
amiss
to
Cyrus
Harding
,
who
thus
set
an
example
to
his
intelligent
and
zealous
companions
.
They
worked
with
confidence
,
even
gaily
,
Pencroft
always
having
some
joke
to
crack
,
sometimes
carpenter
,
sometimes
rope
-
maker
,
sometimes
mason
,
while
he
communicated
his
good
humor
to
all
the
members
of
their
little
world
.
His
faith
in
the
engineer
was
complete
;
nothing
could
disturb
it
.
He
believed
him
capable
of
undertaking
anything
and
succeeding
in
everything
.
The
question
of
boots
and
clothes
--
assuredly
a
serious
question
,
--
that
of
light
during
the
winter
months
,
utilizing
the
fertile
parts
of
the
island
,
transforming
the
wild
flora
into
cultivated
flora
,
it
all
appeared
easy
to
him
;
Cyrus
Harding
helping
,
everything
would
be
done
in
time
.
He
dreamed
of
canals
facilitating
the
transport
of
the
riches
of
the
ground
;
workings
of
quarries
and
mines
;
machines
for
every
industrial
manufacture
;
railroads
;
yes
,
railroads
!
of
which
a
network
would
certainly
one
day
cover
Lincoln
Island
.
The
engineer
let
Pencroft
talk
.
He
did
not
put
down
the
aspirations
of
this
brave
heart
.
He
knew
how
communicable
confidence
is
;
he
even
smiled
to
hear
him
speak
,
and
said
nothing
of
the
uneasiness
for
the
future
which
he
felt
.
In
fact
,
in
that
part
of
the
Pacific
,
out
of
the
course
of
vessels
,
it
was
to
be
feared
that
no
help
would
ever
come
to
them
.
It
was
on
themselves
,
on
themselves
alone
,
that
the
settlers
must
depend
,
for
the
distance
of
Lincoln
Island
from
all
other
land
was
such
,
that
to
hazard
themselves
in
a
boat
,
of
a
necessarily
inferior
construction
,
would
be
a
serious
and
perilous
thing
.
"
But
,
"
as
the
sailor
said
,
"
they
quite
took
the
wind
out
of
the
sails
of
the
Robinsons
,
for
whom
everything
was
done
by
a
miracle
.
"
In
fact
,
they
were
energetic
;
an
energetic
man
will
succeed
where
an
indolent
one
would
vegetate
and
inevitably
perish
.
