"
Why
should
we
be
ill
,
since
there
are
no
doctors
in
the
island
?
"
asked
Pencroft
quite
seriously
.
There
was
no
reply
to
be
made
to
that
,
but
the
lad
went
on
with
his
collection
all
the
same
,
and
it
was
well
received
at
Granite
House
.
Besides
these
medicinal
herbs
,
he
added
a
plant
known
in
North
America
as
"
Oswego
tea
,
"
which
made
an
excellent
beverage
.
At
last
,
by
searching
thoroughly
,
the
hunters
arrived
at
the
real
site
of
the
warren
.
There
the
ground
was
perforated
like
a
sieve
.

"
Here
are
the
burrows
!
"
cried
Herbert
.
"
Yes
,
"
replied
the
reporter
,
"
so
I
see
.
"
"
But
are
they
inhabited
?
"
"
That
is
the
question
.

This
was
soon
answered
.
Almost
immediately
,
hundreds
of
little
animals
,
similar
to
rabbits
,
fled
in
every
direction
,
with
such
rapidity
that
even
Top
could
not
overtake
them
.
Hunters
and
dog
ran
in
vain
;
these
rodents
escaped
them
easily
.
But
the
reporter
resolved
not
to
leave
the
place
,
until
he
had
captured
at
least
half-a-dozen
of
the
quadrupeds
.
He
wished
to
stock
their
larder
first
,
and
domesticate
those
which
they
might
take
later
.
It
would
not
have
been
difficult
to
do
this
,
with
a
few
snares
stretched
at
the
openings
of
the
burrows
.
But
at
this
moment
they
had
neither
snares
,
nor
anything
to
make
them
of
.
They
must
,
therefore
,
be
satisfied
with
visiting
each
hole
,
and
rummaging
in
it
with
a
stick
,
hoping
by
dint
of
patience
to
do
what
could
not
be
done
in
any
other
way
.
At
last
,
after
half
an
hour
,
four
rodents
were
taken
in
their
holes
.
They
were
similar
to
their
European
brethren
,
and
are
commonly
known
by
the
name
of
American
rabbits
.
This
produce
of
the
chase
was
brought
back
to
Granite
House
,
and
figured
at
the
evening
repast
.
The
tenants
of
the
warren
were
not
at
all
to
be
despised
,
for
they
were
delicious
.
It
was
a
valuable
resource
of
the
colony
,
and
it
appeared
to
be
inexhaustible
.
