A
whole
half-hour
passed
,
but
then
,
as
the
sailor
had
surmised
,
several
couple
of
grouse
returned
to
their
nests
.
They
walked
along
,
pecking
the
ground
,
and
not
suspecting
in
any
way
the
presence
of
the
hunters
,
who
,
besides
,
had
taken
care
to
place
themselves
to
leeward
of
the
gallinaceae
.
The
lad
felt
at
this
moment
highly
interested
.
He
held
his
breath
,
and
Pencroft
,
his
eyes
staring
,
his
mouth
open
,
his
lips
advanced
,
as
if
about
to
taste
a
piece
of
grouse
,
scarcely
breathed
.
Meanwhile
,
the
birds
walked
about
the
hooks
,
without
taking
any
notice
of
them
.
Pencroft
then
gave
little
tugs
which
moved
the
bait
as
if
the
worms
had
been
still
alive
.
The
sailor
undoubtedly
felt
much
greater
anxiety
than
does
the
fisherman
,
for
he
does
not
see
his
prey
coming
through
the
water
.
The
jerks
attracted
the
attention
of
the
gallinaceae
,
and
they
attacked
the
hooks
with
their
beaks
.
Three
voracious
grouse
swallowed
at
the
same
moment
bait
and
hook
.
Suddenly
with
a
smart
jerk
,
Pencroft
"
struck
"
his
line
,
and
a
flapping
of
wings
showed
that
the
birds
were
taken
.
"
Hurrah
!
"
he
cried
,
rushing
towards
the
game
,
of
which
he
made
himself
master
in
an
instant
.
Herbert
clapped
his
hands
.
It
was
the
first
time
that
he
had
ever
seen
birds
taken
with
a
line
,
but
the
sailor
modestly
confessed
that
it
was
not
his
first
attempt
,
and
that
besides
he
could
not
claim
the
merit
of
invention
.
"
And
at
any
rate
,
"
added
he
,
"
situated
as
we
are
,
we
must
hope
to
hit
upon
many
other
contrivances
.
"
The
grouse
were
fastened
by
their
claws
,
and
Pencroft
,
delighted
at
not
having
to
appear
before
their
companions
with
empty
hands
,
and
observing
that
the
day
had
begun
to
decline
,
judged
it
best
to
return
to
their
dwelling
.
The
direction
was
indicated
by
the
river
,
whose
course
they
had
only
to
follow
,
and
,
towards
six
o'clock
,
tired
enough
with
their
excursion
,
Herbert
and
Pencroft
arrived
at
the
Chimneys
.
Gideon
Spilett
was
standing
motionless
on
the
shore
,
his
arms
crossed
,
gazing
over
the
sea
,
the
horizon
of
which
was
lost
towards
the
east
in
a
thick
black
cloud
which
was
spreading
rapidly
towards
the
zenith
.
The
wind
was
already
strong
,
and
increased
with
the
decline
of
day
.
The
whole
sky
was
of
a
threatening
aspect
,
and
the
first
symptoms
of
a
violent
storm
were
clearly
visible
.
