Gideon
Spilett
did
not
cease
from
pondering
over
this
new
and
inexplicable
incident
,
the
appearance
of
a
fire
on
the
coast
of
the
island
.
The
fire
had
actually
been
seen
!
His
companions
,
Herbert
and
Pencroft
,
had
seen
it
with
him
!
The
fire
had
served
to
signalize
the
position
of
the
island
during
that
dark
night
,
and
they
had
not
doubted
that
it
was
lighted
by
the
engineer
's
hand
;
and
here
was
Cyrus
Harding
expressly
declaring
that
he
had
never
done
anything
of
the
sort
!
Spilett
resolved
to
recur
to
this
incident
as
soon
as
the
"
Bonadventure
"
returned
,
and
to
urge
Cyrus
Harding
to
acquaint
their
companions
with
these
strange
facts
.
Perhaps
it
would
be
decided
to
make
in
common
a
complete
investigation
of
every
part
of
Lincoln
Island
.
However
that
might
be
,
on
this
evening
no
fire
was
lighted
on
these
yet
unknown
shores
,
which
formed
the
entrance
to
the
gulf
,
and
the
little
vessel
stood
off
during
the
night
.
When
the
first
streaks
of
dawn
appeared
in
the
western
horizon
,
the
wind
,
which
had
slightly
fallen
,
shifted
two
points
,
and
enabled
Pencroft
to
enter
the
narrow
gulf
with
greater
ease
.
Towards
seven
o'clock
in
the
morning
,
the
"
Bonadventure
,
"
weathering
the
North
Mandible
Cape
,
entered
the
strait
and
glided
on
to
the
waters
,
so
strangely
enclosed
in
the
frame
of
lava
.

"
Well
,
"
said
Pencroft
,
"
this
bay
would
make
admirable
roads
,
in
which
a
whole
fleet
could
lie
at
their
ease
!
"
"
What
is
especially
curious
,
"
observed
Harding
,
"
is
that
the
gulf
has
been
formed
by
two
rivers
of
lava
,
thrown
out
by
the
volcano
,
and
accumulated
by
successive
eruptions
.
The
result
is
that
the
gulf
is
completely
sheltered
on
all
sides
,
and
I
believe
that
even
in
the
stormiest
weather
,
the
sea
here
must
be
as
calm
as
a
lake
.
"
"
No
doubt
,
"
returned
the
sailor
,
"
since
the
wind
has
only
that
narrow
entrance
between
the
two
capes
to
get
in
by
,
and
,
besides
,
the
north
cape
protects
that
of
the
south
in
a
way
which
would
make
the
entrance
of
gusts
very
difficult
.
I
declare
our
'
Bonadventure
'
could
stay
here
from
one
end
of
the
year
to
the
other
,
without
even
dragging
at
her
anchor
!
"
"
It
is
rather
large
for
her
!
"
observed
the
reporter
.

"
Well
!
Mr.
Spilett
,
"
replied
the
sailor
,
"
I
agree
that
it
is
too
large
for
the
'
Bonadventure
,
'
but
if
the
fleets
of
the
Union
were
in
want
of
a
harbor
in
the
Pacific
,
I
do
n't
think
they
would
ever
find
a
better
place
than
this
!
"
"
We
are
in
the
shark
's
mouth
,
"
remarked
Nab
,
alluding
to
the
form
of
the
gulf
.
"
Right
into
its
mouth
,
my
honest
Nab
!
"
replied
Herbert
,
"
but
you
are
not
afraid
that
it
will
shut
upon
us
,
are
you
?
"
