"
Oh
!
"
cried
he
,
"
those
are
not
gulls
nor
sea-mews
!
"
"
What
are
they
then
?
"
asked
Pencroft
.
"
Upon
my
word
,
one
would
say
they
were
pigeons
!
"
"
Just
so
,
but
these
are
wild
or
rock
pigeons
.
I
recognize
them
by
the
double
band
of
black
on
the
wing
,
by
the
white
tail
,
and
by
their
slate
-
colored
plumage
.
But
if
the
rock-pigeon
is
good
to
eat
,
its
eggs
must
be
excellent
,
and
we
will
soon
see
how
many
they
may
have
left
in
their
nests
!
"
"
We
will
not
give
them
time
to
hatch
,
unless
it
is
in
the
shape
of
an
omelet
!
"
replied
Pencroft
merrily
.
"
But
what
will
you
make
your
omelet
in
?
"
asked
Herbert
;
"
in
your
hat
?
"
"
Well
!
"
replied
the
sailor
,
"
I
am
not
quite
conjuror
enough
for
that
;
we
must
come
down
to
eggs
in
the
shell
,
my
boy
,
and
I
will
undertake
to
despatch
the
hardest
!
"
Pencroft
and
Herbert
attentively
examined
the
cavities
in
the
granite
,
and
they
really
found
eggs
in
some
of
the
hollows
.
A
few
dozen
being
collected
,
were
packed
in
the
sailor
's
handkerchief
,
and
as
the
time
when
the
tide
would
be
full
was
approaching
,
Pencroft
and
Herbert
began
to
redescend
towards
the
watercourse
.
When
they
arrived
there
,
it
was
an
hour
after
midday
.
The
tide
had
already
turned
.
They
must
now
avail
themselves
of
the
ebb
to
take
the
wood
to
the
mouth
.
Pencroft
did
not
intend
to
let
the
raft
go
away
in
the
current
without
guidance
,
neither
did
he
mean
to
embark
on
it
himself
to
steer
it
.
But
a
sailor
is
never
at
a
loss
when
there
is
a
question
of
cables
or
ropes
,
and
Pencroft
rapidly
twisted
a
cord
,
a
few
fathoms
long
,
made
of
dry
creepers
.
This
vegetable
cable
was
fastened
to
the
after-part
of
the
raft
,
and
the
sailor
held
it
in
his
hand
while
Herbert
,
pushing
off
the
raft
with
a
long
pole
,
kept
it
in
the
current
.
This
succeeded
capitally
.
The
enormous
load
of
wood
drifted
down
the
current
.
The
bank
was
very
equal
;
there
was
no
fear
that
the
raft
would
run
aground
,
and
before
two
o'clock
they
arrived
at
the
river
's
mouth
,
a
few
paces
from
the
Chimneys
.
Pencroft
's
first
care
,
after
unloading
the
raft
,
was
to
render
the
cave
habitable
by
stopping
up
all
the
holes
which
made
it
draughty
.
Sand
,
stones
,
twisted
branches
,
wet
clay
,
closed
up
the
galleries
open
to
the
south
winds
.
One
narrow
and
winding
opening
at
the
side
was
kept
,
to
lead
out
the
smoke
and
to
make
the
fire
draw
.
The
cave
was
thus
divided
into
three
or
four
rooms
,
if
such
dark
dens
with
which
a
donkey
would
scarcely
have
been
contented
deserved
the
name
.
But
they
were
dry
,
and
there
was
space
to
stand
upright
,
at
least
in
the
principal
room
,
which
occupied
the
center
.
The
floor
was
covered
with
fine
sand
,
and
taking
all
in
all
they
were
well
pleased
with
it
for
want
of
a
better
.
