"
A
fire
?
"
asked
Harding
,
much
astonished
at
the
reporter
's
words
.
"
We
mean
,
captain
,
"
answered
Pencroft
,
"
that
on
board
the
'
Bonadventure
'
we
were
very
anxious
during
the
few
hours
before
our
return
,
and
we
should
have
passed
to
windward
of
the
island
,
if
it
had
not
been
for
the
precaution
you
took
of
lighting
a
fire
the
night
of
the
19th
of
October
,
on
Prospect
Heights
.
"
"
Yes
,
yes
!
That
was
a
lucky
idea
of
mine
!
"
replied
the
engineer
.
"
And
this
time
,
"
continued
the
sailor
.
"
unless
the
idea
occurs
to
Ayrton
,
there
will
be
no
one
to
do
us
that
little
service
!
"
"
No
!
No
one
!
"
answered
Cyrus
Harding
A
few
minutes
after
,
finding
himself
alone
in
the
bows
of
the
vessel
,
with
the
reporter
,
the
engineer
bent
down
and
whispered
,
--
"
If
there
is
one
thing
certain
in
this
world
,
Spilett
,
it
is
that
I
never
lighted
any
fire
during
the
night
of
the
19th
of
October
,
neither
on
Prospect
Heights
nor
on
any
other
part
of
the
island
!
"
Things
happened
as
Pencroft
had
predicted
,
he
being
seldom
mistaken
in
his
prognostications
.
The
wind
rose
,
and
from
a
fresh
breeze
it
soon
increased
to
a
regular
gale
;
that
is
to
say
,
it
acquired
a
speed
of
from
forty
to
forty-five
miles
an
hour
,
before
which
a
ship
in
the
open
sea
would
have
run
under
close-reefed
topsails
.
Now
,
as
it
was
nearly
six
o'clock
when
the
"
Bonadventure
"
reached
the
gulf
,
and
as
at
that
moment
the
tide
turned
,
it
was
impossible
to
enter
.
They
were
therefore
compelled
to
stand
off
,
for
even
if
he
had
wished
to
do
so
,
Pencroft
could
not
have
gained
the
mouth
of
the
Mercy
.
Hoisting
the
jib
to
the
mainmast
by
way
of
a
storm-sail
,
he
hove
to
,
putting
the
head
of
the
vessel
towards
the
land
.
Fortunately
,
although
the
wind
was
strong
the
sea
,
being
sheltered
by
the
land
,
did
not
run
very
high
.
They
had
then
little
to
fear
from
the
waves
,
which
always
endanger
small
craft
.
The
"
Bonadventure
"
would
doubtlessly
not
have
capsized
,
for
she
was
well
ballasted
,
but
enormous
masses
of
water
falling
on
the
deck
might
injure
her
if
her
timbers
could
not
sustain
them
.
Pencroft
,
as
a
good
sailor
,
was
prepared
for
anything
.
Certainly
,
he
had
great
confidence
in
his
vessel
,
but
nevertheless
he
awaited
the
return
of
day
with
some
anxiety
.
During
the
night
,
Cyrus
Harding
and
Gideon
Spilett
had
no
opportunity
for
talking
together
,
and
yet
the
words
pronounced
in
the
reporter
's
ear
by
the
engineer
were
well
worth
being
discussed
,
together
with
the
mysterious
influence
which
appeared
to
reign
over
Lincoln
Island
.
