And
there
was
no
reason
to
doubt
that
this
was
Tabor
Island
,
since
according
to
the
most
recent
charts
there
was
no
island
in
this
part
of
the
Pacific
between
New
Zealand
and
the
American
Coast
.
The
vessel
was
securely
moored
,
so
that
there
should
be
no
danger
of
her
being
carried
away
by
the
receding
tide
;
then
Pencroft
and
his
companions
,
well
armed
,
ascended
the
shore
,
so
as
to
gain
an
elevation
of
about
two
hundred
and
fifty
or
three
hundred
feet
which
rose
at
a
distance
of
half
a
mile
.
"
From
the
summit
of
that
hill
,
"
said
Spilett
,
"
we
can
no
doubt
obtain
a
complete
view
of
the
island
,
which
will
greatly
facilitate
our
search
.
"
"
So
as
to
do
here
,
"
replied
Herbert
,
"
that
which
Captain
Harding
did
the
very
first
thing
on
Lincoln
Island
,
by
climbing
Mount
Franklin
.
"
"
Exactly
so
,
"
answered
the
reporter
,
"
and
it
is
the
best
plan
.
"
While
thus
talking
the
explorers
had
advanced
along
a
clearing
which
terminated
at
the
foot
of
the
hill
.
Flocks
of
rock-pigeons
and
sea
-
swallows
,
similar
to
those
of
Lincoln
Island
,
fluttered
around
them
.
Under
the
woods
which
skirted
the
glade
on
the
left
they
could
hear
the
bushes
rustling
and
see
the
grass
waving
,
which
indicated
the
presence
of
timid
animals
,
but
still
nothing
to
show
that
the
island
was
inhabited
.
Arrived
at
the
foot
of
the
hill
,
Pencroft
,
Spilett
,
and
Herbert
climbed
it
in
a
few
minutes
,
and
gazed
anxiously
round
the
horizon
.
They
were
on
an
islet
,
which
did
not
measure
more
than
six
miles
in
circumference
,
its
shape
not
much
bordered
by
capes
or
promontories
,
bays
or
creeks
,
being
a
lengthened
oval
.
All
around
,
the
lonely
sea
extended
to
the
limits
of
the
horizon
.
No
land
nor
even
a
sail
was
in
sight
.
This
woody
islet
did
not
offer
the
varied
aspects
of
Lincoln
Island
,
arid
and
wild
in
one
part
,
but
fertile
and
rich
in
the
other
.
On
the
contrary
this
was
a
uniform
mass
of
verdure
,
out
of
which
rose
two
or
three
hills
of
no
great
height
.
Obliquely
to
the
oval
of
the
island
ran
a
stream
through
a
wide
meadow
falling
into
the
sea
on
the
west
by
a
narrow
mouth
.
"
The
domain
is
limited
,
"
said
Herbert
.
