The
next
day
the
settlers
went
to
collect
some
,
and
returned
to
Granite
House
with
an
ample
supply
of
cycas
stems
.
The
engineer
constructed
a
press
,
with
which
to
extract
the
mucilaginous
juice
mingled
with
the
fecula
,
and
he
obtained
a
large
quantity
of
flour
,
which
Neb
soon
transformed
into
cakes
and
puddings
.
This
was
not
quite
real
wheaten
bread
,
but
it
was
very
like
it
.
Now
,
too
,
the
onager
,
the
goats
,
and
the
sheep
in
the
corral
furnished
daily
the
milk
necessary
to
the
colony
.
The
cart
,
or
rather
a
sort
of
light
carriole
which
had
replaced
it
,
made
frequent
journeys
to
the
corral
,
and
when
it
was
Pencroft
's
turn
to
go
he
took
Jup
,
and
let
him
drive
,
and
Jup
,
cracking
his
whip
,
acquitted
himself
with
his
customary
intelligence
.
Everything
prospered
,
as
well
in
the
corral
as
in
Granite
House
,
and
certainly
the
settlers
,
if
it
had
not
been
that
they
were
so
far
from
their
native
land
,
had
no
reason
to
complain
.

They
were
so
well
suited
to
this
life
,
and
were
,
besides
,
so
accustomed
to
the
island
,
that
they
could
not
have
left
its
hospitable
soil
without
regret
!
And
yet
so
deeply
is
the
love
of
his
country
implanted
in
the
heart
of
man
,
that
if
a
ship
had
unexpectedly
come
in
sight
of
the
island
,
the
colonists
would
have
made
signals
,
would
have
attracted
her
attention
,
and
would
have
departed
!
It
was
the
1st
of
April
,
a
Sunday
,
Easter
Day
,
which
Harding
and
his
companions
sanctified
by
rest
and
prayer
.
The
day
was
fine
,
such
as
an
October
day
in
the
Northern
Hemisphere
might
be
.
All
,
towards
the
evening
after
dinner
,
were
seated
under
the
veranda
on
the
edge
of
Prospect
Heights
,
and
they
were
watching
the
darkness
creeping
up
from
the
horizon
.
Some
cups
of
the
infusion
of
elder-berries
,
which
took
the
place
of
coffee
,
had
been
served
by
Neb.
.
They
were
speaking
of
the
island
and
of
its
isolated
situation
in
the
Pacific
,
which
led
Gideon
Spilett
to
say
,

"
My
dear
Cyrus
,
have
you
ever
,
since
you
possessed
the
sextant
found
in
the
case
,
again
taken
the
position
of
our
island
?
"
"
No
,
"
replied
the
engineer
.
"
But
it
would
perhaps
be
a
good
thing
to
do
it
with
this
instrument
,
which
is
more
perfect
than
that
which
you
before
used
.
