Neither
Gideon
Spilett
,
Herbert
,
nor
Pencroft
slept
that
night
.
In
the
expectation
of
the
next
day
they
could
not
but
feel
some
emotion
.
There
was
so
much
uncertainty
in
their
enterprise
!
Were
they
near
Tabor
Island
?
Was
the
island
still
inhabited
by
the
castaway
to
whose
succor
they
had
come
?
Who
was
this
man
?
Would
not
his
presence
disturb
the
little
colony
till
then
so
united
?
Besides
,
would
he
be
content
to
exchange
his
prison
for
another
?
All
these
questions
,
which
would
no
doubt
be
answered
the
next
day
,
kept
them
in
suspense
,
and
at
the
dawn
of
day
they
all
fixed
their
gaze
on
the
western
horizon
.
"
Land
!
"
shouted
Pencroft
at
about
six
o'clock
in
the
morning
.
And
it
was
impossible
that
Pencroft
should
be
mistaken
,
it
was
evident
that
land
was
there
.
Imagine
the
joy
of
the
little
crew
of
the
"
Bonadventure
.
"
In
a
few
hours
they
would
land
on
the
beach
of
the
island
!

The
low
coast
of
Tabor
Island
,
scarcely
emerging
from
the
sea
,
was
not
more
than
fifteen
miles
distant
.
The
head
of
the
"
Bonadventure
,
"
which
was
a
little
to
the
south
of
the
island
,
was
set
directly
towards
it
,
and
as
the
sun
mounted
in
the
east
,
its
rays
fell
upon
one
or
two
headlands
.
"
This
is
a
much
less
important
isle
than
Lincoln
Island
,
"
observed
Herbert
,
"
and
is
probably
due
like
ours
to
some
submarine
convulsion
.
"
At
eleven
o'clock
the
"
Bonadventure
"
was
not
more
than
two
miles
off
,
and
Pencroft
,
while
looking
for
a
suitable
place
at
which
to
land
,
proceeded
very
cautiously
through
the
unknown
waters
.
The
whole
of
the
island
could
now
be
surveyed
,
and
on
it
could
be
seen
groups
of
gum
and
other
large
trees
,
of
the
same
species
as
those
growing
on
Lincoln
Island
.
But
the
astonishing
thing
was
that
no
smoke
arose
to
show
that
the
island
was
inhabited
,
no
signal
whatever
appeared
on
the
shore
!

And
yet
the
document
was
clear
enough
;
there
was
a
castaway
,
and
this
castaway
should
have
been
on
the
watch
.
In
the
meanwhile
the
"
Bonadventure
"
entered
the
winding
channels
among
the
reefs
,
and
Pencroft
observed
every
turn
with
extreme
care
.
He
had
put
Herbert
at
the
helm
,
posting
himself
in
the
bows
,
inspecting
the
water
,
while
he
held
the
halliard
in
his
hand
,
ready
to
lower
the
sail
at
a
moment
's
notice
.
Gideon
Spilett
with
his
glass
eagerly
scanned
the
shore
,
though
without
perceiving
anything
.
However
,
at
about
twelve
o'clock
the
keel
of
the
"
Bonadventure
"
grated
on
the
bottom
.
The
anchor
was
let
go
,
the
sails
furled
,
and
the
crew
of
the
little
vessel
landed
.
