To
oblige
you
,
Neb
,
I
will
,
"
replied
the
reporter
;
"
but
I
warn
you
that
if
you
disclose
your
receipts
to
me
,
I
shall
publish
them
.
"
"
Whenever
you
like
,
Mr.
Spilett
,
"
replied
Neb
;
"
whenever
you
like
.
"
And
so
the
next
day
Gideon
Spilett
became
Neb
's
assistant
and
was
installed
in
his
culinary
laboratory
.
The
engineer
had
previously
made
known
to
him
the
result
of
the
exploration
which
he
had
made
the
day
before
,
and
on
this
point
the
reporter
shared
Harding
's
opinion
,
that
although
he
had
found
nothing
,
a
secret
still
remained
to
be
discovered
!
The
frost
continued
for
another
week
,
and
the
settlers
did
not
leave
Granite
House
unless
to
look
after
the
poultry-yard
.
The
dwelling
was
filled
with
appetizing
odors
,
which
were
emitted
from
the
learned
manipulation
of
Neb
and
the
reporter
.
But
all
the
results
of
the
chase
were
not
made
into
preserved
provisions
;
and
as
the
game
kept
perfectly
in
the
intense
cold
,
wild
duck
and
other
fowl
were
eaten
fresh
,
and
declared
superior
to
all
other
aquatic
birds
in
the
known
world
.
During
this
week
,
Pencroft
,
aided
by
Herbert
,
who
handled
the
sailmaker
's
needle
with
much
skill
,
worked
with
such
energy
that
the
sails
of
the
vessel
were
finished
.
There
was
no
want
of
cordage
.
Thanks
to
the
rigging
which
had
been
discovered
with
the
case
of
the
balloon
,
the
ropes
and
cables
from
the
net
were
all
of
good
quality
,
and
the
sailor
turned
them
all
to
account
.
To
the
sails
were
attached
strong
bolt
ropes
,
and
there
still
remained
enough
from
which
to
make
the
halyards
,
shrouds
,
and
sheets
,
etc.
.
The
blocks
were
manufactured
by
Cyrus
Harding
under
Pencroft
's
directions
by
means
of
the
turning
lathe
.
It
therefore
happened
that
the
rigging
was
entirely
prepared
before
the
vessel
was
finished
.
Pencroft
also
manufactured
a
flag
,
that
flag
so
dear
to
every
true
American
,
containing
the
stars
and
stripes
of
their
glorious
Union
.
The
colors
for
it
were
supplied
from
certain
plants
used
in
dyeing
,
and
which
were
very
abundant
in
the
island
;
only
to
the
thirty-seven
stars
,
representing
the
thirty
-
seven
States
of
the
Union
,
which
shine
on
the
American
flag
,
the
sailor
added
a
thirty-eighth
,
the
star
of
"
the
State
of
Lincoln
,
"
for
he
considered
his
island
as
already
united
to
the
great
republic
.
"
And
,
"
said
he
,
"
it
is
so
already
in
heart
,
if
not
in
deed
!
"
In
the
meantime
,
the
flag
was
hoisted
at
the
central
window
of
Granite
House
,
and
the
settlers
saluted
it
with
three
cheers
.
The
cold
season
was
now
almost
at
an
end
,
and
it
appeared
as
if
this
second
winter
was
to
pass
without
any
unusual
occurrence
,
when
on
the
night
of
the
11th
of
August
,
the
plateau
of
Prospect
Heights
was
menaced
with
complete
destruction
.
After
a
busy
day
the
colonists
were
sleeping
soundly
,
when
towards
four
o'clock
in
the
morning
they
were
suddenly
awakened
by
Top
's
barking
.
