Unless
,
"
said
Pencroft
,
"
the
owner
had
been
taken
prisoner
by
pirates
--
"
"
That
is
not
admissible
,
"
replied
the
reporter
.
"
It
is
more
probable
that
an
American
or
European
vessel
has
been
driven
into
this
quarter
,
and
that
her
passengers
,
wishing
to
save
necessaries
at
least
,
prepared
this
chest
and
threw
it
overboard
.
"
"
Is
that
your
opinion
,
captain
?
"
asked
Herbert
.
"
Yes
,
my
boy
,
"
replied
the
engineer
,
"
that
may
have
been
the
case
.
It
is
possible
that
at
the
moment
,
or
in
expectation
of
a
wreck
,
they
collected
into
this
chest
different
articles
of
the
greatest
use
in
hopes
of
finding
it
again
on
the
coast
--
"
"
Even
the
photographic
box
!
"
exclaimed
the
sailor
incredulously
.
"
As
to
that
apparatus
,
"
replied
Harding
,
"
I
do
not
quite
see
the
use
of
it
;
and
a
more
complete
supply
of
clothes
or
more
abundant
ammunition
would
have
been
more
valuable
to
us
as
well
as
to
any
other
castaways
!
"
"
But
is
n't
there
any
mark
or
direction
on
these
instruments
,
tools
,
or
books
,
which
would
tell
us
something
about
them
?
"
asked
Gideon
Spilett
.
That
might
be
ascertained
.
Each
article
was
carefully
examined
,
especially
the
books
,
instruments
and
weapons
.
Neither
the
weapons
nor
the
instruments
,
contrary
to
the
usual
custom
,
bore
the
name
of
the
maker
;
they
were
,
besides
,
in
a
perfect
state
,
and
did
not
appear
to
have
been
used
.
The
same
peculiarity
marked
the
tools
and
utensils
;
all
were
new
,
which
proved
that
the
articles
had
not
been
taken
by
chance
and
thrown
into
the
chest
,
but
,
on
the
contrary
,
that
the
choice
of
things
had
been
well
considered
and
arranged
with
care
.
This
was
also
indicated
by
the
second
case
of
metal
which
had
preserved
them
from
damp
,
and
which
could
not
have
been
soldered
in
a
moment
of
haste
.
As
to
the
dictionaries
of
natural
science
and
Polynesian
idioms
,
both
were
English
;
but
they
neither
bore
the
name
of
the
publisher
nor
the
date
of
publication
.
The
same
with
the
Bible
printed
in
English
,
in
quarto
,
remarkable
from
a
typographic
point
of
view
,
and
which
appeared
to
have
been
often
used
.
