Cyrus
Harding
,
seeing
the
clump
of
bamboos
,
cut
a
quantity
,
which
he
mingled
with
the
other
fuel
This
done
,
they
entered
the
grotto
,
of
which
the
floor
was
strewn
with
bones
,
the
guns
were
carefully
loaded
,
in
case
of
a
sudden
attack
,
they
had
supper
,
and
then
just
before
they
lay
down
to
rest
,
the
heap
of
wood
piled
at
the
entrance
was
set
fire
to
.
Immediately
,
a
regular
explosion
,
or
rather
a
series
of
reports
,
broke
the
silence
!
The
noise
was
caused
by
the
bamboos
,
which
,
as
the
flames
reached
them
,
exploded
like
fireworks
.
The
noise
was
enough
to
terrify
even
the
boldest
of
wild
beasts
.
It
was
not
the
engineer
who
had
invented
this
way
of
causing
loud
explosions
,
for
,
according
to
Marco
Polo
,
the
Tartars
have
employed
it
for
many
centuries
to
drive
away
from
their
encampments
the
formidable
wild
beasts
of
Central
Asia
.
Cyrus
Harding
and
his
companions
slept
like
innocent
marmots
in
the
cave
which
the
jaguar
had
so
politely
left
at
their
disposal
.
At
sunrise
all
were
on
the
shore
at
the
extremity
of
the
promontory
,
and
their
gaze
was
directed
towards
the
horizon
,
of
which
two-thirds
of
the
circumference
were
visible
.
For
the
last
time
the
engineer
could
ascertain
that
not
a
sail
nor
the
wreck
of
a
ship
was
on
the
sea
,
and
even
with
the
telescope
nothing
suspicious
could
be
discovered
.
There
was
nothing
either
on
the
shore
,
at
least
,
in
the
straight
line
of
three
miles
which
formed
the
south
side
of
the
promontory
,
for
beyond
that
,
rising
ground
had
the
rest
of
the
coast
,
and
even
from
the
extremity
of
the
Serpentine
Peninsula
Claw
Cape
could
not
be
seen
.
The
southern
coast
of
the
island
still
remained
to
be
explored
.
Now
should
they
undertake
it
immediately
,
and
devote
this
day
to
it
?
This
was
not
included
in
their
first
plan
.
In
fact
,
when
the
boat
was
abandoned
at
the
sources
of
the
Mercy
,
it
had
been
agreed
that
after
having
surveyed
the
west
coast
,
they
should
go
back
to
it
,
and
return
to
Granite
House
by
the
Mercy
.
Harding
then
thought
that
the
western
coast
would
have
offered
refuge
,
either
to
a
ship
in
distress
,
or
to
a
vessel
in
her
regular
course
;
but
now
,
as
he
saw
that
this
coast
presented
no
good
anchorage
,
he
wished
to
seek
on
the
south
what
they
had
not
been
able
to
find
on
the
west
.
Gideon
Spilett
proposed
to
continue
the
exploration
,
that
the
question
of
the
supposed
wreck
might
be
completely
settled
,
and
he
asked
at
what
distance
Claw
Cape
might
be
from
the
extremity
of
the
peninsula
.
"
About
thirty
miles
,
"
replied
the
engineer
,
"
if
we
take
into
consideration
the
curvings
of
the
coast
.
