Let
us
go
on
with
our
search

returned
Cyrus
Harding
.
At
one
o'clock
the
colonists
arrived
at
the
other
side
of
Washington
Bay
,
they
having
now
gone
a
distance
of
twenty
miles
.
They
then
halted
for
breakfast
.
Here
began
the
irregular
coast
,
covered
with
lines
of
rocks
and
sandbanks
.
The
long
sea-swell
could
be
seen
breaking
over
the
rocks
in
the
bay
,
forming
a
foamy
fringe
.
From
this
point
to
Claw
Cape
the
beach
was
very
narrow
between
the
edge
of
the
forest
and
the
reefs
.
Walking
was
now
more
difficult
,
on
account
of
the
numerous
rocks
which
encumbered
the
beach
.
The
granite
cliff
also
gradually
increased
in
height
,
and
only
the
green
tops
of
the
trees
which
crowned
it
could
be
seen
.
After
half
an
hour
's
rest
,
the
settlers
resumed
their
journey
,
and
not
a
spot
among
the
rocks
was
left
unexamined
.
Pencroft
and
Neb
even
rushed
into
the
surf
whenever
any
object
attracted
their
attention
.
But
they
found
nothing
,
some
curious
formations
of
the
rocks
having
deceived
them
.
They
ascertained
,
however
,
that
eatable
shellfish
abounded
there
,
but
these
could
not
be
of
any
great
advantage
to
them
until
some
easy
means
of
communication
had
been
established
between
the
two
banks
of
the
Mercy
,
and
until
the
means
of
transport
had
been
perfected
.
Nothing
therefore
which
threw
any
light
on
the
supposed
wreck
could
be
found
on
this
shore
,
yet
an
object
of
any
importance
,
such
as
the
hull
of
a
ship
,
would
have
been
seen
directly
,
or
any
of
her
masts
and
spans
would
have
been
washed
on
shore
,
just
as
the
chest
had
been
,
which
was
found
twenty
miles
from
here
.
But
there
was
nothing
.
Towards
three
o'clock
Harding
and
his
companions
arrived
at
a
snug
little
creek
.
It
formed
quite
a
natural
harbor
,
invisible
from
the
sea
,
and
was
entered
by
a
narrow
channel
.
At
the
back
of
this
creek
some
violent
convulsion
had
torn
up
the
rocky
border
,
and
a
cutting
,
by
a
gentle
slope
,
gave
access
to
an
upper
plateau
,
which
might
be
situated
at
least
ten
miles
from
Claw
Cape
,
and
consequently
four
miles
in
a
straight
line
from
Prospect
Heights
.
Gideon
Spilett
proposed
to
his
companions
that
they
should
make
a
halt
here
.
They
agreed
readily
,
for
their
walk
had
sharpened
their
appetites
;
and
although
it
was
not
their
usual
dinner-hour
,
no
one
refused
to
strengthen
himself
with
a
piece
of
venison
.
This
luncheon
would
sustain
them
until
their
supper
,
which
they
intended
to
take
at
Granite
House
.
In
a
few
minutes
the
settlers
,
seated
under
a
clump
of
fine
sea-pines
,
were
devouring
the
provisions
which
Neb
produced
from
his
bag
.
