No

replied
Herbert
;
"
but
zoologists
have
not
yet
found
out
if
the
eye
of
these
foxes
is
diurnal
or
nocturnal
,
or
whether
it
is
correct
to
class
them
in
the
genus
dog
,
properly
so
called
.
"
Harding
could
not
help
smiling
on
hearing
the
lad
's
reflection
,
which
showed
a
thoughtful
mind
.
As
to
the
sailor
,
from
the
moment
when
he
found
that
the
foxes
were
not
classed
in
the
genus
eatable
,
they
were
nothing
to
him
.
However
,
when
a
poultry-yard
was
established
at
Granite
House
,
he
observed
that
it
would
be
best
to
take
some
precautions
against
a
probable
visit
from
these
four-legged
plunderers
,
and
no
one
disputed
this
.
After
having
turned
the
point
,
the
settlers
saw
a
long
beach
washed
by
the
open
sea
.
It
was
then
eight
o'clock
in
the
morning
.
The
sky
was
very
clear
,
as
it
often
is
after
prolonged
cold
;
but
warmed
by
their
walk
,
neither
Harding
nor
his
companions
felt
the
sharpness
of
the
atmosphere
too
severely
.
Besides
there
was
no
wind
,
which
made
it
much
more
bearable
.
A
brilliant
sun
,
but
without
any
calorific
action
,
was
just
issuing
from
the
ocean
.
The
sea
was
as
tranquil
and
blue
as
that
of
a
Mediterranean
gulf
,
when
the
sky
is
clear
.
Claw
Cape
,
bent
in
the
form
of
a
yataghan
,
tapered
away
nearly
four
miles
to
the
southeast
.
To
the
left
the
edge
of
the
marsh
was
abruptly
ended
by
a
little
point
.
Certainly
,
in
this
part
of
Union
Bay
,
which
nothing
sheltered
from
the
open
sea
,
not
even
a
sandbank
,
ships
beaten
by
the
east
winds
would
have
found
no
shelter
.
They
perceived
by
the
tranquillity
of
the
sea
,
in
which
no
shallows
troubled
the
waters
,
by
its
uniform
color
,
which
was
stained
by
no
yellow
shades
,
by
the
absence
of
even
a
reef
,
that
the
coast
was
steep
and
that
the
ocean
there
covered
a
deep
abyss
.
Behind
in
the
west
,
but
at
a
distance
of
four
miles
,
rose
the
first
trees
of
the
forests
of
the
Far
West
.
They
might
have
believed
themselves
to
be
on
the
desolate
coast
of
some
island
in
the
Antarctic
regions
which
the
ice
had
invaded
.
The
colonists
halted
at
this
place
for
breakfast
.
A
fire
of
brushwood
and
dried
seaweed
was
lighted
,
and
Neb
prepared
the
breakfast
of
cold
meat
,
to
which
he
added
some
cups
of
Oswego
tea
.
While
eating
they
looked
around
them
.
This
part
of
Lincoln
Island
was
very
sterile
,
and
contrasted
with
all
the
western
part
.
The
reporter
was
thus
led
to
observe
that
if
chance
had
thrown
them
at
first
on
the
shore
,
they
would
have
had
but
a
deplorable
idea
of
their
future
domain
.
"
I
believe
that
we
should
not
have
been
able
to
reach
it
,
"
replied
the
engineer
,
"
for
the
sea
is
deep
,
and
there
is
not
a
rock
on
which
we
could
have
taken
refuge
.
Before
Granite
House
,
at
least
,
there
were
sandbanks
,
an
islet
,
which
multiplied
our
chances
of
safety
.
Here
,
nothing
but
the
depths
!
"
"
It
is
singular
enough
,
"
remarked
Spilett
,
"
that
this
comparatively
small
island
should
present
such
varied
ground
.
This
diversity
of
aspect
,
logically
only
belongs
to
continents
of
a
certain
extent
.
One
would
really
say
,
that
the
western
part
of
Lincoln
Island
,
so
rich
and
so
fertile
,
is
washed
by
the
warm
waters
of
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
,
and
that
its
shores
to
the
north
and
the
southeast
extend
over
a
sort
of
Arctic
sea
.
"
"
You
are
right
,
my
dear
Spilett
,
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
,
"
I
have
also
observed
this
.
I
think
the
form
and
also
the
nature
of
this
island
strange
.
It
is
a
summary
of
all
the
aspects
which
a
continent
presents
,
and
I
should
not
be
surprised
if
it
was
a
continent
formerly
.
"
"
What
!
a
continent
in
the
middle
of
the
Pacific
?
"
cried
Pencroft
.
