The
reptile
,
aware
of
danger
,
had
retired
between
its
carapace
and
plastron
.
They
no
longer
saw
its
head
or
feet
,
and
it
was
motionless
as
a
rock
.
Herbert
and
Neb
then
drove
their
sticks
underneath
the
animal
,
and
by
their
united
efforts
managed
without
difficulty
to
turn
it
on
its
back
.
The
turtle
,
which
was
three
feet
in
length
,
would
have
weighed
at
least
four
hundred
pounds
.
"
Capital
!
"
cried
Neb
;
"
this
is
something
which
will
rejoice
friend
Pencroft
's
heart
.
"
In
fact
,
the
heart
of
friend
Pencroft
could
not
fail
to
be
rejoiced
,
for
the
flesh
of
the
turtle
,
which
feeds
on
wrack-grass
,
is
extremely
savory
.
At
this
moment
the
creature
's
head
could
be
seen
,
which
was
small
,
flat
,
but
widened
behind
by
the
large
temporal
fossae
hidden
under
the
long
roof
.
"
And
now
,
what
shall
we
do
with
our
prize
?
"
said
Neb.
"
We
ca
n't
drag
it
to
Granite
House
!
"
"
Leave
it
here
,
since
it
can
not
turn
over
,
"
replied
Herbert
,
"
and
we
will
come
back
with
the
cart
to
fetch
it
.
"
"
That
is
the
best
plan
.
"
However
,
for
greater
precaution
,
Herbert
took
the
trouble
,
which
Neb
deemed
superfluous
,
to
wedge
up
the
animal
with
great
stones
;
after
which
the
two
hunters
returned
to
Granite
House
,
following
the
beach
,
which
the
tide
had
left
uncovered
.
Herbert
,
wishing
to
surprise
Pencroft
,
said
nothing
about
the
"
superb
specimen
of
a
chelonian
"
which
they
had
turned
over
on
the
sand
;
but
,
two
hours
later
,
he
and
Neb
returned
with
the
cart
to
the
place
where
they
had
left
it
.
The
"
superb
specimen
of
a
chelonian
"
was
no
longer
there
!
Neb
and
Herbert
stared
at
each
other
first
;
then
they
stared
about
them
.
It
was
just
at
this
spot
that
the
turtle
had
been
left
.
The
lad
even
found
the
stones
which
he
had
used
,
and
therefore
he
was
certain
of
not
being
mistaken
.
