Lastly
,
the
time
had
come
for
turning
the
balloon-case
to
use
,
by
cutting
it
up
to
make
shirts
and
other
articles
;
for
as
to
keeping
it
in
its
present
form
,
and
risking
themselves
in
a
balloon
filled
with
gas
,
above
a
sea
of
the
limits
of
which
they
had
no
idea
,
it
was
not
to
be
thought
of
.
It
was
necessary
to
bring
the
case
to
Granite
House
,
and
the
colonists
employed
themselves
in
rendering
their
heavy
cart
lighter
and
more
manageable
.
But
though
they
had
a
vehicle
,
the
moving
power
was
yet
to
be
found
.
But
did
there
not
exist
in
the
island
some
animal
which
might
supply
the
place
of
the
horse
,
ass
,
or
ox
?
That
was
the
question
.
"
Certainly
,
"
said
Pencroft
,
"
a
beast
of
burden
would
be
very
useful
to
us
until
the
captain
has
made
a
steam
cart
,
or
even
an
engine
,
for
some
day
we
shall
have
a
railroad
from
Granite
House
to
Port
Balloon
,
with
a
branch
line
to
Mount
Franklin
!
"
One
day
,
the
23rd
of
December
,
Neb
and
Top
were
heard
shouting
and
barking
,
each
apparently
trying
to
see
who
could
make
the
most
noise
.
The
settlers
,
who
were
busy
at
the
Chimneys
,
ran
,
fearing
some
vexatious
incident
.
What
did
they
see
?
Two
fine
animals
of
a
large
size
that
had
imprudently
ventured
on
the
plateau
,
when
the
bridges
were
open
.
One
would
have
said
they
were
horses
,
or
at
least
donkeys
,
male
and
female
,
of
a
fine
shape
,
dove-colored
,
the
legs
and
tail
white
,
striped
with
black
on
the
head
and
neck
.
They
advanced
quietly
without
showing
any
uneasiness
,
and
gazed
at
the
men
,
in
whom
they
could
not
as
yet
recognize
their
future
masters
.
"
These
are
onagers
!
"
cried
Herbert
,
"
animals
something
between
the
zebra
and
the
quagga
!
"
"
Why
not
donkeys
?
"
asked
Neb.
.
"
Because
they
have
not
long
ears
,
and
their
shape
is
more
graceful
!
