The
management
of
the
vessel
was
very
simple
.
She
had
from
the
first
been
ballasted
with
heavy
blocks
of
granite
walled
up
,
in
a
bed
of
lime
,
twelve
thousand
pounds
of
which
they
stowed
away
.
A
deck
was
placed
over
this
ballast
,
and
the
interior
was
divided
into
two
cabins
;
two
benches
extended
along
them
and
served
also
as
lockers
.
The
foot
of
the
mast
supported
the
partition
which
separated
the
two
cabins
,
which
were
reached
by
two
hatchways
let
into
the
deck
.
Pencroft
had
no
trouble
in
finding
a
tree
suitable
for
the
mast
.
He
chose
a
straight
young
fir
,
with
no
knots
,
and
which
he
had
only
to
square
at
the
step
,
and
round
off
at
the
top
.
The
ironwork
of
the
mast
,
the
rudder
and
the
hull
had
been
roughly
but
strongly
forged
at
the
Chimneys
.
Lastly
,
yards
,
masts
,
boom
,
spars
,
oars
,
etc.
,
were
all
furnished
by
the
first
week
in
October
,
and
it
was
agreed
that
a
trial
trip
should
be
taken
round
the
island
,
so
as
to
ascertain
how
the
vessel
would
behave
at
sea
,
and
how
far
they
might
depend
upon
her
.
During
all
this
time
the
necessary
works
had
not
been
neglected
.
The
corral
was
enlarged
,
for
the
flock
of
musmons
and
goats
had
been
increased
by
a
number
of
young
ones
,
who
had
to
be
housed
and
fed
.
The
colonists
had
paid
visits
also
to
the
oyster
bed
,
the
warren
,
the
coal
and
iron
mines
,
and
to
the
till
then
unexplored
districts
of
the
Far
West
forest
,
which
abounded
in
game
.
Certain
indigenous
plants
were
discovered
,
and
those
fit
for
immediate
use
contributed
to
vary
the
vegetable
stores
of
Granite
House
.
They
were
a
species
of
ficoide
,
some
similar
to
those
of
the
Cape
,
with
eatable
fleshy
leaves
,
others
bearing
seeds
containing
a
sort
of
flour
.
On
the
10th
of
October
the
vessel
was
launched
.
Pencroft
was
radiant
with
joy
,
the
operation
was
perfectly
successful
;
the
boat
completely
rigged
,
having
been
pushed
on
rollers
to
the
water
's
edge
,
was
floated
by
the
rising
tide
,
amid
the
cheers
of
the
colonists
,
particularly
of
Pencroft
,
who
showed
no
modesty
on
this
occasion
.
Besides
his
importance
was
to
last
beyond
the
finishing
of
the
vessel
,
since
,
after
having
built
her
,
he
was
to
command
her
.
The
grade
of
captain
was
bestowed
upon
him
with
the
approbation
of
all
.
To
satisfy
Captain
Pencroft
,
it
was
now
necessary
to
give
a
name
to
the
vessel
,
and
,
after
many
propositions
had
been
discussed
,
the
votes
were
all
in
favor
of
the
"
Bonadventure
.
"
As
soon
as
the
"
Bonadventure
"
had
been
lifted
by
the
rising
tide
,
it
was
seen
that
she
lay
evenly
in
the
water
,
and
would
be
easily
navigated
.
However
,
the
trial
trip
was
to
be
made
that
very
day
,
by
an
excursion
off
the
coast
.
The
weather
was
fine
,
the
breeze
fresh
,
and
the
sea
smooth
,
especially
towards
the
south
coast
,
for
the
wind
was
blowing
from
the
northwest
.
"
All
hands
on
board
,
"
shouted
Pencroft
;
but
breakfast
was
first
necessary
,
and
it
was
thought
best
to
take
provisions
on
board
,
in
the
event
of
their
excursion
being
prolonged
until
the
evening
.
Cyrus
Harding
was
equally
anxious
to
try
the
vessel
,
the
model
of
which
had
originated
with
him
,
although
on
the
sailor
's
advice
he
had
altered
some
parts
of
it
,
but
he
did
not
share
Pencroft
's
confidence
in
her
,
and
as
the
latter
had
not
again
spoken
of
the
voyage
to
Tabor
Island
,
Harding
hoped
he
had
given
it
up
.
He
would
have
indeed
great
reluctance
in
letting
two
or
three
of
his
companions
venture
so
far
in
so
small
a
boat
,
which
was
not
of
more
than
fifteen
tons
'
burden
.
