On
the
31st
of
May
the
partitions
were
finished
.
The
rooms
had
now
only
to
be
furnished
,
and
this
would
be
work
for
the
long
winter
days
.
A
chimney
was
established
in
the
first
room
,
which
served
as
a
kitchen
.
The
pipe
destined
to
conduct
the
smoke
outside
gave
some
trouble
to
these
amateur
bricklayers
.
It
appeared
simplest
to
Harding
to
make
it
of
brick
clay
;
as
creating
an
outlet
for
it
to
the
upper
plateau
was
not
to
be
thought
of
,
a
hole
was
pierced
in
the
granite
above
the
window
of
the
kitchen
,
and
the
pipe
met
it
like
that
of
an
iron
stove
.
Perhaps
the
winds
which
blew
directly
against
the
facade
would
make
the
chimney
smoke
,
but
these
winds
were
rare
,
and
besides
,
Master
Neb
,
the
cook
,
was
not
so
very
particular
about
that
.
When
these
interior
arrangements
were
finished
,
the
engineer
occupied
himself
in
blocking
up
the
outlet
by
the
lake
,
so
as
to
prevent
any
access
by
that
way
.
Masses
of
rock
were
rolled
to
the
entrance
and
strongly
cemented
together
.
Cyrus
Harding
did
not
yet
realize
his
plan
of
drowning
this
opening
under
the
waters
of
the
lake
,
by
restoring
them
to
their
former
level
by
means
of
a
dam
.
He
contented
himself
with
hiding
the
obstruction
with
grass
and
shrubs
,
which
were
planted
in
the
interstices
of
the
rocks
,
and
which
next
spring
would
sprout
thickly
.
However
,
he
used
the
waterfall
so
as
to
lead
a
small
stream
of
fresh
water
to
the
new
dwelling
.
A
little
trench
,
made
below
their
level
,
produced
this
result
;
and
this
derivation
from
a
pure
and
inexhaustible
source
yielded
twenty-five
or
thirty
gallons
a
day
.
There
would
never
be
any
want
of
water
at
Granite
House
.
At
last
all
was
finished
,
and
it
was
time
,
for
the
bad
season
was
near
.
Thick
shutters
closed
the
windows
of
the
facade
,
until
the
engineer
had
time
to
make
glass
Gideon
Spilett
had
very
artistically
arranged
on
the
rocky
projections
around
the
windows
plants
of
different
kinds
,
as
well
as
long
streaming
grass
,
so
that
the
openings
were
picturesquely
framed
in
green
,
which
had
a
pleasing
effect
.
The
inhabitants
of
this
solid
,
healthy
,
and
secure
dwelling
,
could
not
but
be
charmed
with
their
work
.
The
view
from
the
windows
extended
over
a
boundless
horizon
,
which
was
closed
by
the
two
Mandible
Capes
on
the
north
,
and
Claw
Cape
on
the
south
.
All
Union
Bay
was
spread
before
them
.
Yes
,
our
brave
settlers
had
reason
to
be
satisfied
,
and
Pencroft
was
lavish
in
his
praise
of
what
he
humorously
called
,
"
his
apartments
on
the
fifth
floor
above
the
ground
!
"
The
winter
season
set
in
with
the
month
of
June
,
which
corresponds
with
the
month
of
December
in
the
Northern
Hemisphere
.
It
began
with
showers
and
squalls
,
which
succeeded
each
other
without
intermission
.
The
tenants
of
Granite
House
could
appreciate
the
advantages
of
a
dwelling
which
sheltered
them
from
the
inclement
weather
.
The
Chimneys
would
have
been
quite
insufficient
to
protect
them
against
the
rigor
of
winter
,
and
it
was
to
be
feared
that
the
high
tides
would
make
another
irruption
.
Cyrus
Harding
had
taken
precautions
against
this
contingency
,
so
as
to
preserve
as
much
as
possible
the
forge
and
furnace
which
were
established
there
.
During
the
whole
of
the
month
of
June
the
time
was
employed
in
different
occupations
,
which
excluded
neither
hunting
nor
fishing
,
the
larder
being
,
therefore
,
abundantly
supplied
.
Pencroft
,
so
soon
as
he
had
leisure
,
proposed
to
set
some
traps
,
from
which
he
expected
great
results
.
He
soon
made
some
snares
with
creepers
,
by
the
aid
of
which
the
warren
henceforth
every
day
furnished
its
quota
of
rodents
.
Neb
employed
nearly
all
his
time
in
salting
or
smoking
meat
,
which
insured
their
always
having
plenty
of
provisions
.
The
question
of
clothes
was
now
seriously
discussed
,
the
settlers
having
no
other
garments
than
those
they
wore
when
the
balloon
threw
them
on
the
island
.
These
clothes
were
warm
and
good
;
they
had
taken
great
care
of
them
as
well
as
of
their
linen
,
and
they
were
perfectly
whole
,
but
they
would
soon
need
to
be
replaced
.
Moreover
,
if
the
winter
was
severe
,
the
settlers
would
suffer
greatly
from
cold
.
On
this
subject
the
ingenuity
of
Harding
was
at
fault
.
They
must
provide
for
their
most
pressing
wants
,
settle
their
dwelling
,
and
lay
in
a
store
of
food
;
thus
the
cold
might
come
upon
them
before
the
question
of
clothes
had
been
settled
.
They
must
therefore
make
up
their
minds
to
pass
this
first
winter
without
additional
clothing
.
When
the
fine
season
came
round
again
,
they
would
regularly
hunt
those
musmons
which
had
been
seen
on
the
expedition
to
Mount
Franklin
,
and
the
wool
once
collected
,
the
engineer
would
know
how
to
make
it
into
strong
warm
stuff
...
.
How
?
He
would
consider
.
"
Well
,
we
are
free
to
roast
ourselves
at
Granite
House
!
"
said
Pencroft
.
"
There
are
heaps
of
fuel
,
and
no
reason
for
sparing
it
.
"
"
Besides
,
"
added
Gideon
Spilett
,
"
Lincoln
Island
is
not
situated
under
a
very
high
latitude
,
and
probably
the
winters
here
are
not
severe
.
Did
you
not
say
,
Cyrus
,
that
this
thirty-fifth
parallel
corresponded
to
that
of
Spain
in
the
other
hemisphere
?
