But
these
formidable
carnivora
did
not
exist
in
the
island
,
or
at
any
rate
they
had
not
yet
shown
themselves
.
In
the
meanwhile
,
Herbert
,
Pencroft
,
and
the
reporter
occupied
themselves
with
making
traps
on
Prospect
Heights
and
at
the
border
of
the
forest
.
According
to
the
sailor
,
any
animal
,
whatever
it
was
,
would
be
a
lawful
prize
,
and
the
rodents
or
carnivora
which
might
get
into
the
new
snares
would
be
well
received
at
Granite
House
.
The
traps
were
besides
extremely
simple
;
being
pits
dug
in
the
ground
,
a
platform
of
branches
and
grass
above
,
which
concealed
the
opening
,
and
at
the
bottom
some
bait
,
the
scent
of
which
would
attract
animals
.
It
must
be
mentioned
also
,
that
they
had
not
been
dug
at
random
,
but
at
certain
places
where
numerous
footprints
showed
that
quadrupeds
frequented
the
ground
.
They
were
visited
every
day
,
and
at
three
different
times
,
during
the
first
days
,
specimens
of
those
Antarctic
foxes
which
they
had
already
seen
on
the
right
bank
of
the
Mercy
were
found
in
them
.
"
Why
,
there
are
nothing
but
foxes
in
this
country
!
"
cried
Pencroft
,
when
for
the
third
time
he
drew
one
of
the
animals
out
of
the
pit
.
Looking
at
it
in
great
disgust
,
he
added
,
"
beasts
which
are
good
for
nothing
!
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
Gideon
Spilett
,
"
they
are
good
for
something
!
"
"
And
what
is
that
?
"
"
To
make
bait
to
attract
other
creatures
!
"
The
reporter
was
right
,
and
the
traps
were
henceforward
baited
with
the
foxes
carcasses
.
