"
Right
,
"
replied
Pencroft
;
"
the
river
will
be
to
us
like
a
road
which
carries
of
itself
,
and
rafts
have
not
been
invented
for
nothing
.
"
"
Only
,
"
observed
Herbert
,
"
at
this
moment
our
road
is
going
the
wrong
way
,
for
the
tide
is
rising
!
"
"
We
shall
be
all
right
if
we
wait
till
it
ebbs
,
"
replied
the
sailor
,
"
and
then
we
will
trust
it
to
carry
our
fuel
to
the
Chimneys
.
Let
us
get
the
raft
ready
.
"
The
sailor
,
followed
by
Herbert
,
directed
his
steps
towards
the
river
.
They
both
carried
,
each
in
proportion
to
his
strength
,
a
load
of
wood
bound
in
fagots
.
They
found
on
the
bank
also
a
great
quantity
of
dead
branches
in
the
midst
of
grass
,
among
which
the
foot
of
man
had
probably
never
before
trod
.
Pencroft
began
directly
to
make
his
raft
.
In
a
kind
of
little
bay
,
created
by
a
point
of
the
shore
which
broke
the
current
,
the
sailor
and
the
lad
placed
some
good-sized
pieces
of
wood
,
which
they
had
fastened
together
with
dry
creepers
.
A
raft
was
thus
formed
,
on
which
they
stacked
all
they
had
collected
,
sufficient
,
indeed
,
to
have
loaded
at
least
twenty
men
.
In
an
hour
the
work
was
finished
,
and
the
raft
moored
to
the
bank
,
awaited
the
turning
of
the
tide
.
There
were
still
several
hours
to
be
occupied
,
and
with
one
consent
Pencroft
and
Herbert
resolved
to
gain
the
upper
plateau
,
so
as
to
have
a
more
extended
view
of
the
surrounding
country
.
Exactly
two
hundred
feet
behind
the
angle
formed
by
the
river
,
the
wall
,
terminated
by
a
fall
of
rocks
,
died
away
in
a
gentle
slope
to
the
edge
of
the
forest
.
It
was
a
natural
staircase
.
Herbert
and
the
sailor
began
their
ascent
;
thanks
to
the
vigor
of
their
muscles
they
reached
the
summit
in
a
few
minutes
;
and
proceeded
to
the
point
above
the
mouth
of
the
river
.
On
attaining
it
,
their
first
look
was
cast
upon
the
ocean
which
not
long
before
they
had
traversed
in
such
a
terrible
condition
.
They
observed
,
with
emotion
,
all
that
part
to
the
north
of
the
coast
on
which
the
catastrophe
had
taken
place
.
It
was
there
that
Cyrus
Harding
had
disappeared
.
They
looked
to
see
if
some
portion
of
their
balloon
,
to
which
a
man
might
possibly
cling
,
yet
existed
.
Nothing
!
The
sea
was
but
one
vast
watery
desert
.
As
to
the
coast
,
it
was
solitary
also
.
Neither
the
reporter
nor
Neb
could
be
anywhere
seen
.
But
it
was
possible
that
at
this
time
they
were
both
too
far
away
to
be
perceived
.
"
Something
tells
me
,
"
cried
Herbert
,
"
that
a
man
as
energetic
as
Captain
Harding
would
not
let
himself
be
drowned
like
other
people
.
He
must
have
reached
some
point
of
the
shore
;
do
n't
you
think
so
,
Pencroft
?
"
The
sailor
shook
his
head
sadly
.
He
little
expected
ever
to
see
Cyrus
Harding
again
;
but
wishing
to
leave
some
hope
to
Herbert
:
"
Doubtless
,
doubtless
,
"
said
he
;
"
our
engineer
is
a
man
who
would
get
out
of
a
scrape
to
which
any
one
else
would
yield
.
