"
But
what
will
they
find
?
"
asked
Pencroft
.
"
Can
you
guess
,
captain
?
"
"
Nearly
,
my
friend
.
"
"
And
what
will
they
burn
instead
of
coal
?
"
"
Water
,
"
replied
Harding
.
"
Water
!
"
cried
Pencroft
,
"
water
as
fuel
for
steamers
and
engines
!
water
to
heat
water
!
"
"
Yes
,
but
water
decomposed
into
its
primitive
elements
,
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
,
"
and
decomposed
doubtless
,
by
electricity
,
which
will
then
have
become
a
powerful
and
manageable
force
,
for
all
great
discoveries
,
by
some
inexplicable
laws
,
appear
to
agree
and
become
complete
at
the
same
time
.
Yes
,
my
friends
,
I
believe
that
water
will
one
day
be
employed
as
fuel
,
that
hydrogen
and
oxygen
which
constitute
it
,
used
singly
or
together
,
will
furnish
an
inexhaustible
source
of
heat
and
light
,
of
an
intensity
of
which
coal
is
not
capable
.
Some
day
the
coalrooms
of
steamers
and
the
tenders
of
locomotives
will
,
instead
of
coal
,
be
stored
with
these
two
condensed
gases
,
which
will
burn
in
the
furnaces
with
enormous
calorific
power
.
There
is
,
therefore
,
nothing
to
fear
.
As
long
as
the
earth
is
inhabited
it
will
supply
the
wants
of
its
inhabitants
,
and
there
will
be
no
want
of
either
light
or
heat
as
long
as
the
productions
of
the
vegetable
,
mineral
or
animal
kingdoms
do
not
fail
us
.
I
believe
,
then
,
that
when
the
deposits
of
coal
are
exhausted
we
shall
heat
and
warm
ourselves
with
water
.
Water
will
be
the
coal
of
the
future
.
"
"
I
should
like
to
see
that
,
"
observed
the
sailor
.
"
You
were
born
too
soon
,
Pencroft
,
"
returned
Neb
,
who
only
took
part
in
the
discussion
by
these
words
.
However
,
it
was
not
Neb
's
speech
which
interrupted
the
conversation
,
but
Top
's
barking
,
which
broke
out
again
with
that
strange
intonation
which
had
before
perplexed
the
engineer
.
At
the
same
time
Top
began
to
run
round
the
mouth
of
the
well
,
which
opened
at
the
extremity
of
the
interior
passage
.
