Nothing
will
be
easier
;
but
is
this
a
really
useful
thing
?
"
"
Certainly
,
captain
.
After
we
have
given
ourselves
necessaries
,
let
us
think
a
little
of
luxury
.
For
us
it
may
be
luxury
,
if
you
like
,
but
for
things
it
is
necessary
.
It
is
n't
very
convenient
to
climb
up
a
long
ladder
when
one
is
heavily
loaded
.
"
"
Well
,
Pencroft
,
we
will
try
to
please
you
,
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
.
"
But
you
have
no
machine
at
your
disposal
.
"
"
We
will
make
one
.
"
"
A
steam
machine
?
"
"
No
,
a
water
machine
.
"
And
,
indeed
,
to
work
his
apparatus
there
was
already
a
natural
force
at
the
disposal
of
the
engineer
which
could
be
used
without
great
difficulty
.
For
this
,
it
was
enough
to
augment
the
flow
of
the
little
stream
which
supplied
the
interior
of
Granite
House
with
water
.
The
opening
among
the
stones
and
grass
was
then
increased
,
thus
producing
a
strong
fall
at
the
bottom
of
the
passage
,
the
overflow
from
which
escaped
by
the
inner
well
.
Below
this
fall
the
engineer
fixed
a
cylinder
with
paddles
,
which
was
joined
on
the
exterior
with
a
strong
cable
rolled
on
a
wheel
,
supporting
a
basket
.
In
this
way
,
by
means
of
a
long
rope
reaching
to
the
ground
,
which
enabled
them
to
regulate
the
motive
power
,
they
could
rise
in
the
basket
to
the
door
of
Granite
House
.
It
was
on
the
17th
of
March
that
the
lift
acted
for
the
first
time
,
and
gave
universal
satisfaction
.
Henceforward
all
the
loads
,
wood
,
coal
,
provisions
,
and
even
the
settlers
themselves
,
were
hoisted
by
this
simple
system
,
which
replaced
the
primitive
ladder
,
and
,
as
may
be
supposed
,
no
one
thought
of
regretting
the
change
.
Top
particularly
was
enchanted
with
this
improvement
,
for
he
had
not
,
and
never
could
have
possessed
Master
Jup
's
skill
in
climbing
ladders
,
and
often
it
was
on
Neb
's
back
,
or
even
on
that
of
the
orang
that
he
had
been
obliged
to
make
the
ascent
to
Granite
House
.
About
this
time
,
too
,
Cyrus
Harding
attempted
to
manufacture
glass
,
and
he
at
first
put
the
old
pottery-kiln
to
this
new
use
.
There
were
some
difficulties
to
be
encountered
;
but
,
after
several
fruitless
attempts
,
he
succeeded
in
setting
up
a
glass
manufactory
,
which
Gideon
Spilett
and
Herbert
,
his
usual
assistants
,
did
not
leave
for
several
days
.
As
to
the
substances
used
in
the
composition
of
glass
,
they
are
simply
sand
,
chalk
,
and
soda
,
either
carbonate
or
sulphate
.
Now
the
beach
supplied
sand
,
lime
supplied
chalk
,
sea-weeds
supplied
soda
,
pyrites
supplied
sulphuric
acid
,
and
the
ground
supplied
coal
to
heat
the
kiln
to
the
wished-for
temperature
.
