"
Besides
,
it
is
very
evident
that
the
intention
of
the
captain
of
this
ship
is
to
land
,
and
,
consequently
,
if
not
today
,
to-morrow
at
the
latest
,
we
shall
make
his
acquaintance
.
"
"
Never
mind
!
"
said
Pencroft
.
"
It
is
best
to
know
whom
we
have
to
deal
with
,
and
I
shall
not
be
sorry
to
recognize
that
fellow
's
colors
!
"
And
,
while
thus
speaking
,
the
sailor
never
left
the
glass
.
The
day
began
to
fade
,
and
with
the
day
the
breeze
fell
also
.
The
brig
's
ensign
hung
in
folds
,
and
it
became
more
and
more
difficult
to
observe
it
.

"
It
is
not
the
American
flag
,
"
said
Pencroft
from
time
to
time
,
"
nor
the
English
,
the
red
of
which
could
be
easily
seen
,
nor
the
French
or
German
colors
,
nor
the
white
flag
of
Russia
,
nor
the
yellow
of
Spain
.
One
would
say
it
was
all
one
color
.
Let
's
see
:
in
these
seas
,
what
do
we
generally
meet
with
?
The
Chilean
flag
?
--
but
that
is
tri-color
.
Brazilian
?
--
it
is
green
.
Japanese
?
--
it
is
yellow
and
black
,
while
this
--
"
At
that
moment
the
breeze
blew
out
the
unknown
flag
.
Ayrton
seizing
the
telescope
which
the
sailor
had
put
down
,
put
it
to
his
eye
,
and
in
a
hoarse
voice
,
--
"
The
black
flag
!
"
he
exclaimed
.
And
indeed
the
somber
bunting
was
floating
from
the
mast
of
the
brig
,
and
they
had
now
good
reason
for
considering
her
to
be
a
suspicious
vessel
!

Had
the
engineer
,
then
,
been
right
in
his
presentiments
?
Was
this
a
pirate
vessel
?
Did
she
scour
the
Pacific
,
competing
with
the
Malay
proas
which
still
infest
it
?
For
what
had
she
come
to
look
at
the
shores
of
Lincoln
Island
?
Was
it
to
them
an
unknown
island
,
ready
to
become
a
magazine
for
stolen
cargoes
?
Had
she
come
to
find
on
the
coast
a
sheltered
port
for
the
winter
months
?
Was
the
settlers
'
honest
domain
destined
to
be
transformed
into
an
infamous
refuge
--
the
headquarters
of
the
piracy
of
the
Pacific
?
All
these
ideas
instinctively
presented
themselves
to
the
colonists
'
imaginations
.
There
was
no
doubt
,
besides
,
of
the
signification
which
must
be
attached
to
the
color
of
the
hoisted
flag
.
It
was
that
of
pirates
!
It
was
that
which
the
"
Duncan
"
would
have
carried
,
had
the
convicts
succeeded
in
their
criminal
design
!
No
time
was
lost
before
discussing
it
.
"
My
friends
,
"
said
Cyrus
Harding
,
"
perhaps
this
vessel
only
wishes
to
survey
the
coast
of
the
island
.
Perhaps
her
crew
will
not
land
.
There
is
a
chance
of
it
.
However
that
may
be
,
we
ought
to
do
everything
we
can
to
hide
our
presence
here
.
The
windmill
on
Prospect
Heights
is
too
easily
seen
.
Let
Ayrton
and
Neb
go
and
take
down
the
sails
.
We
must
also
conceal
the
windows
of
Granite
House
with
thick
branches
.
All
the
fires
must
be
extinguished
,
so
that
nothing
may
betray
the
presence
of
men
on
the
island
.
