When
Pencroft
,
being
a
Yankee
,
treated
any
one
to
the
epithet
of
"
son
of
John
Bull
,
"
he
considered
he
had
reached
the
last
limits
of
insult
.
The
sun
had
now
completely
risen
,
and
the
whole
facade
of
Granite
House
became
illuminated
by
its
rays
;
but
in
the
interior
as
well
as
on
the
exterior
all
was
quiet
and
calm
.
The
settlers
asked
if
Granite
House
was
inhabited
or
not
,
and
yet
the
position
of
the
ladder
was
sufficient
to
show
that
it
was
;
it
was
also
certain
that
the
inhabitants
,
whoever
they
might
be
,
had
not
been
able
to
escape
.
But
how
were
they
to
be
got
at
?
Herbert
then
thought
of
fastening
a
cord
to
an
arrow
,
and
shooting
the
arrow
so
that
it
should
pass
between
the
first
rounds
of
the
ladder
which
hung
from
the
threshold
.
By
means
of
the
cord
they
would
then
be
able
to
draw
down
the
ladder
to
the
ground
,
and
so
re-establish
the
communication
between
the
beach
and
Granite
House
.
There
was
evidently
nothing
else
to
be
done
,
and
,
with
a
little
skill
,
this
method
might
succeed
.
Very
fortunately
bows
and
arrows
had
been
left
at
the
Chimneys
,
where
they
also
found
a
quantity
of
light
hibiscus
cord
.
Pencroft
fastened
this
to
a
well-feathered
arrow
.
Then
Herbert
fixing
it
to
his
bow
,
took
a
careful
aim
for
the
lower
part
of
the
ladder
.
Cyrus
Harding
,
Gideon
Spilett
,
Pencroft
,
and
Neb
drew
back
,
so
as
to
see
if
anything
appeared
at
the
windows
.
The
reporter
lifted
his
gun
to
his
shoulder
and
covered
the
door
.
The
bow
was
bent
,
the
arrow
flew
,
taking
the
cord
with
it
,
and
passed
between
the
two
last
rounds
.
The
operation
had
succeeded
.
Herbert
immediately
seized
the
end
of
the
cord
,
but
,
at
that
moment
when
he
gave
it
a
pull
to
bring
down
the
ladder
,
an
arm
,
thrust
suddenly
out
between
the
wall
and
the
door
,
grasped
it
and
dragged
it
inside
Granite
House
.
"
The
rascals
!
"
shouted
the
sailor
.
"
If
a
ball
can
do
anything
for
you
,
you
shall
not
have
long
to
wait
for
it
.
"
"
But
who
was
it
?
"
asked
Neb.
.
