Twenty-four
hours
after
there
was
yet
no
land
in
sight
.
The
wind
was
right
ahead
and
the
sea
very
heavy
.
The
sails
were
close-reefed
,
and
they
tacked
frequently
.
On
the
18th
,
a
wave
swept
completely
over
the
"
Bonadventure
"
;
and
if
the
crew
had
not
taken
the
precaution
of
lashing
themselves
to
the
deck
,
they
would
have
been
carried
away
.
On
this
occasion
Pencroft
and
his
companions
,
who
were
occupied
with
loosing
themselves
,
received
unexpected
aid
from
the
prisoner
,
who
emerged
from
the
hatchway
as
if
his
sailor
's
instinct
had
suddenly
returned
,
broke
a
piece
out
of
the
bulwarks
with
a
spar
so
as
to
let
the
water
which
filled
the
deck
escape
.
Then
the
vessel
being
clear
,
he
descended
to
his
cabin
without
having
uttered
a
word
.
Pencroft
,
Gideon
Spilett
,
and
Herbert
,
greatly
astonished
,
let
him
proceed
.
Their
situation
was
truly
serious
,
and
the
sailor
had
reason
to
fear
that
he
was
lost
on
the
wide
sea
without
any
possibility
of
recovering
his
course
.
The
night
was
dark
and
cold
.
However
,
about
eleven
o'clock
,
the
wind
fell
,
the
sea
went
down
,
and
the
speed
of
the
vessel
,
as
she
labored
less
,
greatly
increased
.
Neither
Pencroft
,
Spilett
,
nor
Herbert
thought
of
taking
an
hour
's
sleep
.
They
kept
a
sharp
look-out
,
for
either
Lincoln
Island
could
not
be
far
distant
and
would
be
sighted
at
daybreak
,
or
the
"
Bonadventure
,
"
carried
away
by
currents
,
had
drifted
so
much
that
it
would
be
impossible
to
rectify
her
course
.
Pencroft
,
uneasy
to
the
last
degree
,
yet
did
not
despair
,
for
he
had
a
gallant
heart
,
and
grasping
the
tiller
he
anxiously
endeavored
to
pierce
the
darkness
which
surrounded
them
.
About
two
o'clock
in
the
morning
he
started
forward
,
--
"
A
light
!
a
light
!
"
he
shouted
.
Indeed
,
a
bright
light
appeared
twenty
miles
to
the
northeast
.
Lincoln
Island
was
there
,
and
this
fire
,
evidently
lighted
by
Cyrus
Harding
,
showed
them
the
course
to
be
followed
Pencroft
,
who
was
bearing
too
much
to
the
north
,
altered
his
course
and
steered
towards
the
fire
,
which
burned
brightly
above
the
horizon
like
a
star
of
the
first
magnitude
.
The
next
day
,
the
20th
of
October
,
at
seven
o'clock
in
the
morning
,
after
a
voyage
of
four
days
,
the
"
Bonadventure
"
gently
glided
up
to
the
beach
at
the
mouth
of
the
Mercy
.
