On
this
day
,
as
it
was
raining
in
torrents
,
the
settlers
were
assembled
in
the
great
hall
in
Granite
House
,
when
the
lad
cried
out
all
at
once
,
--
"
Look
here
,
captain
--
A
grain
of
corn
!
"
And
he
showed
his
companions
a
grain
--
a
single
grain
--
which
from
a
hole
in
his
pocket
had
got
into
the
lining
of
his
waistcoat
.
The
presence
of
this
grain
was
explained
by
the
fact
that
Herbert
,
when
at
Richmond
,
used
to
feed
some
pigeons
,
of
which
Pencroft
had
made
him
a
present
.
"
A
grain
of
corn
?
"
said
the
engineer
quickly
.
"
Yes
,
captain
;
but
one
,
only
one
!
"
"
Well
,
my
boy
,
"
said
Pencroft
,
laughing
,
"
we
're
getting
on
capitally
,
upon
my
word
!
What
shall
we
make
with
one
grain
of
corn
?
"
"
We
will
make
bread
of
it
,
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
.
"
Bread
,
cakes
,
tarts
!
"
replied
the
sailor
.
"
Come
,
the
bread
that
this
grain
of
corn
will
make
wo
n't
choke
us
very
soon
!
"
Herbert
,
not
attaching
much
importance
to
his
discovery
,
was
going
to
throw
away
the
grain
in
question
;
but
Harding
took
it
,
examined
it
,
found
that
it
was
in
good
condition
,
and
looking
the
sailor
full
in
the
face
--
"
Pencroft
,
"
he
asked
quietly
,
"
do
you
know
how
many
ears
one
grain
of
corn
can
produce
?
"
