They
sawed
,
they
planed
,
they
filed
,
they
turned
;
and
during
the
whole
of
this
bad
season
,
nothing
was
heard
but
the
grinding
of
tools
or
the
humming
of
the
turning-lathe
which
responded
to
the
growling
of
the
thunder
.
Master
Jup
had
not
been
forgotten
,
and
he
occupied
a
room
at
the
back
,
near
the
storeroom
,
a
sort
of
cabin
with
a
cot
always
full
of
good
litter
,
which
perfectly
suited
his
taste
.
"
With
good
old
Jup
there
is
never
any
quarreling
,
"
often
repeated
Pencroft
,
"
never
any
improper
reply
.
What
a
servant
,
Neb
,
what
a
servant
!

Of
course
Jup
was
now
well
used
to
service
.
He
brushed
their
clothes
,
he
turned
the
spit
,
he
waited
at
table
,
he
swept
the
rooms
,
he
gathered
wood
,
and
he
performed
another
admirable
piece
of
service
which
delighted
Pencroft
--
he
never
went
to
sleep
without
first
coming
to
tuck
up
the
worthy
sailor
in
his
bed
.
As
to
the
health
of
the
members
of
the
colony
,
bipeds
or
bimana
,
quadrumana
or
quadrupeds
,
it
left
nothing
to
be
desired
.
With
their
life
in
the
open
air
,
on
this
salubrious
soil
,
under
that
temperate
zone
,
working
both
with
head
and
hands
,
they
could
not
suppose
that
illness
would
ever
attack
them
.
All
were
indeed
wonderfully
well
.
Herbert
had
already
grown
two
inches
in
the
year
.
His
figure
was
forming
and
becoming
more
manly
,
and
he
promised
to
be
an
accomplished
man
,
physically
as
well
as
morally
.
Besides
he
improved
himself
during
the
leisure
hours
which
manual
occupations
left
to
him
;
he
read
the
books
found
in
the
case
;
and
after
the
practical
lessons
which
were
taught
by
the
very
necessity
of
their
position
,
he
found
in
the
engineer
for
science
,
and
the
reporter
for
languages
,
masters
who
were
delighted
to
complete
his
education
.

The
tempest
ended
about
the
9th
of
March
,
but
the
sky
remained
covered
with
clouds
during
the
whole
of
this
last
summer
month
.
The
atmosphere
,
violently
agitated
by
the
electric
commotions
,
could
not
recover
its
former
purity
,
and
there
was
almost
invariably
rain
and
fog
,
except
for
three
or
four
fine
days
on
which
several
excursions
were
made
.
About
this
time
the
female
onager
gave
birth
to
a
young
one
which
belonged
to
the
same
sex
as
its
mother
,
and
which
throve
capitally
.
In
the
corral
,
the
flock
of
musmons
had
also
increased
,
and
several
lambs
already
bleated
in
the
sheds
,
to
the
great
delight
of
Neb
and
Herbert
,
who
had
each
their
favorite
among
these
newcomers
.
An
attempt
was
also
made
for
the
domestication
of
the
peccaries
,
which
succeeded
well
.
A
sty
was
constructed
under
the
poultry-yard
,
and
soon
contained
several
young
ones
in
the
way
to
become
civilized
,
that
is
to
say
,
to
become
fat
under
Neb
's
care
.
Master
Jup
,
entrusted
with
carrying
them
their
daily
nourishment
,
leavings
from
the
kitchen
,
etc.
,
acquitted
himself
conscientiously
of
his
task
.
He
sometimes
amused
himself
at
the
expense
of
his
little
pensioners
by
tweaking
their
tails
;
but
this
was
mischief
,
and
not
wickedness
,
for
these
little
twisted
tails
amused
him
like
a
plaything
,
and
his
instinct
was
that
of
a
child
.
One
day
in
this
month
of
March
,
Pencroft
,
talking
to
the
engineer
,
reminded
Cyrus
Harding
of
a
promise
which
the
latter
had
not
as
yet
had
time
to
fulfil
.
"
You
once
spoke
of
an
apparatus
which
would
take
the
place
of
the
long
ladders
at
Granite
House
,
captain
,
"
said
he
;
"
wo
n't
you
make
it
some
day
?
"
