Ayrton
had
not
made
six
strokes
before
shots
were
splashing
around
him
like
hail
.
What
were
Pencroft
's
feelings
,
sheltered
under
a
rock
on
the
islet
!
What
were
those
of
Harding
,
the
reporter
,
Herbert
,
and
Neb
,
crouched
in
the
Chimneys
,
when
they
heard
the
reports
on
board
the
brig
!
They
rushed
out
on
to
the
beach
,
and
,
their
guns
shouldered
,
they
stood
ready
to
repel
any
attack
.
They
had
no
doubt
about
it
themselves
!
Ayrton
,
surprised
by
the
pirates
,
had
been
murdered
,
and
,
perhaps
,
the
wretches
would
profit
by
the
night
to
make
a
descent
on
the
island
!

Half
an
hour
was
passed
in
terrible
anxiety
The
firing
had
ceased
,
and
yet
neither
Ayrton
nor
Pencroft
had
reappeared
.
Was
the
islet
invaded
?
Ought
they
not
to
fly
to
the
help
of
Ayrton
and
Pencroft
?
But
how
?
The
tide
being
high
at
that
time
,
rendered
the
channel
impassable
.
The
boat
was
not
there
!
We
may
imagine
the
horrible
anxiety
which
took
possession
of
Harding
and
his
companions
!
At
last
,
towards
half-past
twelve
,
a
boat
,
carrying
two
men
,
touched
the
beach
.
It
was
Ayrton
,
slightly
wounded
in
the
shoulder
,
and
Pencroft
,
safe
and
sound
,
whom
their
friends
received
with
open
arms
.
All
immediately
took
refuge
in
the
Chimneys
.
There
Ayrton
recounted
all
that
had
passed
,
even
to
his
plan
for
blowing
up
the
brig
,
which
he
had
attempted
to
put
into
execution
.

All
hands
were
extended
to
Ayrton
,
who
did
not
conceal
from
them
that
their
situation
was
serious
.
The
pirates
had
been
alarmed
.
They
knew
that
Lincoln
Island
was
inhabited
.
They
would
land
upon
it
in
numbers
and
well
armed
.
They
would
respect
nothing
.
Should
the
settlers
fall
into
their
hands
,
they
must
expect
no
mercy
!
"
Well
,
we
shall
know
how
to
die
!
"
said
the
reporter
.
"
Let
us
go
in
and
watch
,
"
answered
the
engineer
.
