The
distance
between
Flotsam
Point
and
Granite
House
was
another
four
miles
,
and
it
was
midnight
when
,
after
having
followed
the
shore
to
the
mouth
of
the
Mercy
,
the
settlers
arrived
at
the
first
angle
formed
by
the
Mercy
.
There
the
river
was
eighty
feet
in
breadth
,
which
was
awkward
to
cross
,
but
as
Pencroft
had
taken
upon
himself
to
conquer
this
difficulty
,
he
was
compelled
to
do
it
.
The
settlers
certainly
had
reason
to
be
pretty
tired
.
The
journey
had
been
long
,
and
the
task
of
getting
down
the
balloon
had
not
rested
either
their
arms
or
legs
.
They
were
anxious
to
reach
Granite
House
to
eat
and
sleep
,
and
if
the
bridge
had
been
constructed
,
in
a
quarter
of
an
hour
they
would
have
been
at
home
.
The
night
was
very
dark
.
Pencroft
prepared
to
keep
his
promise
by
constructing
a
sort
of
raft
,
on
which
to
make
the
passage
of
the
Mercy
.
He
and
Neb
,
armed
with
axes
,
chose
two
trees
near
the
water
,
and
began
to
attack
them
at
the
base
.
Cyrus
Harding
and
Spilett
,
seated
on
the
bank
,
waited
till
their
companions
were
ready
for
their
help
,
while
Herbert
roamed
about
,
though
without
going
to
any
distance
.
All
at
once
,
the
lad
,
who
had
strolled
by
the
river
,
came
running
back
,
and
,
pointing
up
the
Mercy
,
exclaimed
,
--
"
What
is
floating
there
?
"
Pencroft
stopped
working
,
and
seeing
an
indistinct
object
moving
through
the
gloom
,
--
"
A
canoe
!
"
cried
he
.
All
approached
,
and
saw
to
their
extreme
surprise
,
a
boat
floating
down
the
current
.
"
Boat
ahoy
!
"
shouted
the
sailor
,
without
thinking
that
perhaps
it
would
be
best
to
keep
silence
.
