The
atlas
was
a
magnificent
work
,
comprising
maps
of
every
country
in
the
world
,
and
several
planispheres
arranged
upon
Mercator
's
projection
,
and
of
which
the
nomenclature
was
in
French
--
but
which
also
bore
neither
date
nor
name
of
publisher
.
There
was
nothing
,
therefore
,
on
these
different
articles
by
which
they
could
be
traced
,
and
nothing
consequently
of
a
nature
to
show
the
nationality
of
the
vessel
which
must
have
recently
passed
these
shores
.
But
,
wherever
the
chest
might
have
come
from
,
it
was
a
treasure
to
the
settlers
on
Lincoln
Island
.
Till
then
,
by
making
use
of
the
productions
of
nature
,
they
had
created
everything
for
themselves
,
and
,
thanks
to
their
intelligence
,
they
had
managed
without
difficulty
.
But
did
it
not
appear
as
if
Providence
had
wished
to
reward
them
by
sending
them
these
productions
of
human
industry
?
Their
thanks
rose
unanimously
to
Heaven
.
However
,
one
of
them
was
not
quite
satisfied
:
it
was
Pencroft
.
It
appeared
that
the
chest
did
not
contain
something
which
he
evidently
held
in
great
esteem
,
for
in
proportion
as
they
approached
the
bottom
of
the
box
,
his
hurrahs
diminished
in
heartiness
,
and
,
the
inventory
finished
,
he
was
heard
to
mutter
these
words
:
--
"
That
's
all
very
fine
,
but
you
can
see
that
there
is
nothing
for
me
in
that
box
!
"
This
led
Neb
to
say
,
--
"
Why
,
friend
Pencroft
,
what
more
do
you
expect
?
"
"
Half
a
pound
of
tobacco
,
"
replied
Pencroft
seriously
,
"
and
nothing
would
have
been
wanting
to
complete
my
happiness
!
"
No
one
could
help
laughing
at
this
speech
of
the
sailor
's
.
But
the
result
of
this
discovery
of
the
chest
was
,
that
it
was
now
more
than
ever
necessary
to
explore
the
island
thoroughly
.
It
was
therefore
agreed
that
the
next
morning
at
break
of
day
,
they
should
set
out
,
by
ascending
the
Mercy
so
as
to
reach
the
western
shore
.
If
any
castaways
had
landed
on
the
coast
,
it
was
to
be
feared
they
were
without
resources
,
and
it
was
therefore
the
more
necessary
to
carry
help
to
them
without
delay
.
