During
this
winter
,
no
fresh
inexplicable
incident
occurred
.
Nothing
strange
happened
,
although
Pencroft
and
Neb
were
on
the
watch
for
the
most
insignificant
facts
to
which
they
attached
any
mysterious
cause
.
Top
and
Jup
themselves
no
longer
growled
round
the
well
or
gave
any
signs
of
uneasiness
.
It
appeared
,
therefore
,
as
if
the
series
of
supernatural
incidents
was
interrupted
,
although
they
often
talked
of
them
during
the
evenings
in
Granite
House
,
and
they
remained
thoroughly
resolved
that
the
island
should
be
searched
,
even
in
those
parts
the
most
difficult
to
explore
.
But
an
event
of
the
highest
importance
,
and
of
which
the
consequences
might
be
terrible
,
momentarily
diverted
from
their
projects
Cyrus
Harding
and
his
companions
.
It
was
the
month
of
October
.
The
fine
season
was
swiftly
returning
.
Nature
was
reviving
;
and
among
the
evergreen
foliage
of
the
coniferae
which
formed
the
border
of
the
wood
,
already
appeared
the
young
leaves
of
the
banksias
,
deodars
,
and
other
trees
.
It
may
be
remembered
that
Gideon
Spilett
and
Herbert
had
,
at
different
times
,
taken
photographic
views
of
Lincoln
Island
.
Now
,
on
the
17th
of
this
month
of
October
,
towards
three
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
,
Herbert
,
enticed
by
the
charms
of
the
sky
,
thought
of
reproducing
Union
Bay
,
which
was
opposite
to
Prospect
Heights
,
from
Cape
Mandible
to
Claw
Cape
The
horizon
was
beautifully
clear
,
and
the
sea
,
undulating
under
a
soft
breeze
,
was
as
calm
as
the
waters
of
a
lake
,
sparkling
here
and
there
under
the
sun
's
rays
.
The
apparatus
had
been
placed
at
one
of
the
windows
of
the
dining-room
at
Granite
House
,
and
consequently
overlooked
the
shore
and
the
bay
.
Herbert
proceeded
as
he
was
accustomed
to
do
,
and
the
negative
obtained
,
he
went
away
to
fix
it
by
means
of
the
chemicals
deposited
in
a
dark
nook
of
Granite
House
.
Returning
to
the
bright
light
,
and
examining
it
well
,
Herbert
perceived
on
his
negative
an
almost
imperceptible
little
spot
on
the
sea
horizon
.
He
endeavored
to
make
it
disappear
by
reiterated
washing
,
but
could
not
accomplish
it
.
"
It
is
a
flaw
in
the
glass
,
"
he
thought
.
And
then
he
had
the
curiosity
to
examine
this
flaw
with
a
strong
magnifier
which
he
unscrewed
from
one
of
the
telescopes
.
But
he
had
scarcely
looked
at
it
,
when
he
uttered
a
cry
,
and
the
glass
almost
fell
from
his
hands
.
