The
vessel
was
still
there
and
had
guns
on
board
.
Six
seconds
elapsed
between
the
flash
and
the
report
.
Therefore
the
brig
was
about
a
mile
and
a
quarter
from
the
coast
.
At
the
same
time
,
the
chains
were
heard
rattling
through
the
hawse-holes
.
The
vessel
had
just
anchored
in
sight
of
Granite
House
!
There
was
no
longer
any
doubt
as
to
the
pirates
'
intentions
.
They
had
dropped
anchor
at
a
short
distance
from
the
island
,
and
it
was
evident
that
the
next
day
by
means
of
their
boats
they
purposed
to
land
on
the
beach
!
Cyrus
Harding
and
his
companions
were
ready
to
act
,
but
,
determined
though
they
were
,
they
must
not
forget
to
be
prudent
.
Perhaps
their
presence
might
still
be
concealed
in
the
event
of
the
pirates
contenting
themselves
with
landing
on
the
shore
without
examining
the
interior
of
the
island
.
It
might
be
,
indeed
,
that
their
only
intention
was
to
obtain
fresh
water
from
the
Mercy
,
and
it
was
not
impossible
that
the
bridge
,
thrown
across
a
mile
and
a
half
from
the
mouth
,
and
the
manufactory
at
the
Chimneys
might
escape
their
notice
.
But
why
was
that
flag
hoisted
at
the
brig
's
peak
?
What
was
that
shot
fired
for
?
Pure
bravado
doubtless
,
unless
it
was
a
sign
of
the
act
of
taking
possession
.
Harding
knew
now
that
the
vessel
was
well
armed
.
And
what
had
the
colonists
of
Lincoln
Island
to
reply
to
the
pirates
'
guns
?
A
few
muskets
only
.
"
However
,
"
observed
Cyrus
Harding
,
"
here
we
are
in
an
impregnable
position
.
The
enemy
can
not
discover
the
mouth
of
the
outlet
,
now
that
it
is
hidden
under
reeds
and
grass
,
and
consequently
it
would
be
impossible
for
them
to
penetrate
into
Granite
House
.
"
"
But
our
plantations
,
our
poultry-yard
,
our
corral
,
all
,
everything
!
"
exclaimed
Pencroft
,
stamping
his
foot
.
"
They
may
spoil
everything
,
destroy
everything
in
a
few
hours
!
"
