During
the
day
the
different
articles
were
carried
to
Granite
House
,
where
they
were
methodically
arranged
in
the
great
hall
This
day
--
the
29th
of
October
--
happened
to
be
a
Sunday
,
and
,
before
going
to
bed
,
Herbert
asked
the
engineer
if
he
would
not
read
them
something
from
the
Gospel
.
"
Willingly
,
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
.
He
took
the
sacred
volume
,
and
was
about
to
open
it
,
when
Pencroft
stopped
him
,
saying
,
--
"
Captain
,
I
am
superstitious
.
Open
at
random
and
read
the
first
verse
which
,
your
eye
falls
upon
.
We
will
see
if
it
applies
to
our
situation
.
"
Cyrus
Harding
smiled
at
the
sailor
's
idea
,
and
,
yielding
to
his
wish
,
he
opened
exactly
at
a
place
where
the
leaves
were
separated
by
a
marker
.
Immediately
his
eyes
were
attracted
by
a
cross
which
,
made
with
a
pencil
,
was
placed
against
the
eighth
verse
of
the
seventh
chapter
of
the
Gospel
of
St.
Matthew
.
He
read
the
verse
,
which
was
this
:
--
"
For
every
one
that
asketh
receiveth
;
and
he
that
seeketh
findeth
.
"
The
next
day
,
the
30th
of
October
,
all
was
ready
for
the
proposed
exploring
expedition
,
which
recent
events
had
rendered
so
necessary
.
In
fact
,
things
had
so
come
about
that
the
settlers
in
Lincoln
Island
no
longer
needed
help
for
themselves
,
but
were
even
able
to
carry
it
to
others
.
It
was
therefore
agreed
that
they
should
ascend
the
Mercy
as
far
as
the
river
was
navigable
.
A
great
part
of
the
distance
would
thus
be
traversed
without
fatigue
,
and
the
explorers
could
transport
their
provisions
and
arms
to
an
advanced
point
in
the
west
of
the
island
.
It
was
necessary
to
think
not
only
of
the
things
which
they
should
take
with
them
,
but
also
of
those
which
they
might
have
by
chance
to
bring
back
to
Granite
House
.
If
there
had
been
a
wreck
on
the
coast
,
as
was
supposed
,
there
would
be
many
things
cast
up
,
which
would
be
lawfully
their
prizes
.
In
the
event
of
this
,
the
cart
would
have
been
of
more
use
than
the
light
canoe
,
but
it
was
heavy
and
clumsy
to
drag
,
and
therefore
more
difficult
to
use
;
this
led
Pencroft
to
express
his
regret
that
the
chest
had
not
contained
,
besides
"
his
halfpound
of
tobacco
,
"
a
pair
of
strong
New
Jersey
horses
,
which
would
have
been
very
useful
to
the
colony
!
