Cyrus
Harding
thus
soon
had
everything
ready
for
setting
to
work
.
The
tool
,
the
manufacture
of
which
presented
the
most
difficulty
,
was
the
pipe
of
the
glass-maker
,
an
iron
tube
,
five
or
six
feet
long
,
which
collects
on
one
end
the
material
in
a
state
of
fusion
.
But
by
means
of
a
long
,
thin
piece
of
iron
rolled
up
like
the
barrel
of
a
gun
,
Pencroft
succeeded
in
making
a
tube
soon
ready
for
use
.
On
the
28th
of
March
the
tube
was
heated
.
A
hundred
parts
of
sand
,
thirty-five
of
chalk
,
forty
of
sulphate
of
soda
,
mixed
with
two
or
three
parts
of
powdered
coal
,
composed
the
substance
,
which
was
placed
in
crucibles
.
When
the
high
temperature
of
the
oven
had
reduced
it
to
a
liquid
,
or
rather
a
pasty
state
,
Cyrus
Harding
collected
with
the
tube
a
quantity
of
the
paste
:
he
turned
it
about
on
a
metal
plate
,
previously
arranged
,
so
as
to
give
it
a
form
suitable
for
blowing
,
then
he
passed
the
tube
to
Herbert
,
telling
him
to
blow
at
the
other
extremity
.
And
Herbert
,
swelling
out
his
cheeks
,
blew
so
much
and
so
well
into
the
tube-taking
care
to
twirl
it
round
at
the
same
time
--
that
his
breath
dilated
the
glassy
mass
.
Other
quantities
of
the
substance
in
a
state
of
fusion
were
added
to
the
first
,
and
in
a
short
time
the
result
was
a
bubble
which
measured
a
foot
in
diameter
.
Harding
then
took
the
tube
out
of
Herbert
's
hands
,
and
,
giving
it
a
pendulous
motion
,
he
ended
by
lengthening
the
malleable
bubble
so
as
to
give
it
a
cylindroconic
shape
.
The
blowing
operation
had
given
a
cylinder
of
glass
terminated
by
two
hemispheric
caps
,
which
were
easily
detached
by
means
of
a
sharp
iron
dipped
in
cold
water
;
then
,
by
the
same
proceeding
,
this
cylinder
was
cut
lengthways
,
and
after
having
been
rendered
malleable
by
a
second
heating
,
it
was
extended
on
a
plate
and
spread
out
with
a
wooden
roller
.
The
first
pane
was
thus
manufactured
,
and
they
had
only
to
perform
this
operation
fifty
times
to
have
fifty
panes
.
The
windows
at
Granite
House
were
soon
furnished
with
panes
;
not
very
white
,
perhaps
,
but
still
sufficiently
transparent
.
As
to
bottles
and
tumblers
,
that
was
only
play
.
They
were
satisfied
with
them
,
besides
,
just
as
they
came
from
the
end
of
the
tube
.
Pencroft
had
asked
to
be
allowed
to
"
blow
"
in
his
turn
,
and
it
was
great
fun
for
him
;
but
he
blew
so
hard
that
his
productions
took
the
most
ridiculous
shapes
,
which
he
admired
immensely
.
Cyrus
Harding
and
Herbert
,
while
hunting
one
day
,
had
entered
the
forest
of
the
Far
West
,
on
the
left
bank
of
the
Mercy
,
and
,
as
usual
,
the
lad
was
asking
a
thousand
questions
of
the
engineer
,
who
answered
them
heartily
.
Now
,
as
Harding
was
not
a
sportsman
,
and
as
,
on
the
other
side
,
Herbert
was
talking
chemistry
and
natural
philosophy
,
numbers
of
kangaroos
,
capybaras
,
and
agouties
came
within
range
,
which
,
however
,
escaped
the
lad
's
gun
;
the
consequence
was
that
the
day
was
already
advanced
,
and
the
two
hunters
were
in
danger
of
having
made
a
useless
excursion
,
when
Herbert
,
stopping
,
and
uttering
a
cry
of
joy
,
exclaimed
,
--
"
Oh
,
Captain
Harding
,
do
you
see
that
tree
?
"
and
he
pointed
to
a
shrub
,
rather
than
a
tree
,
for
it
was
composed
of
a
single
stem
,
covered
with
a
scaly
bark
,
which
bore
leaves
streaked
with
little
parallel
veins
.
