Cyrus
Harding
had
clearly
represented
their
situation
,
although
he
spoke
in
the
calmest
voice
,
as
if
it
was
a
question
of
directing
a
piece
of
work
and
not
ordering
a
battle
.
His
companions
approved
these
arrangements
without
even
uttering
a
word
.
There
was
nothing
more
to
be
done
but
for
each
to
take
his
place
before
the
fog
should
be
completely
dissipated
.
Neb
and
Pencroft
immediately
ascended
to
Granite
House
and
brought
back
a
sufficient
quantity
of
ammunition
.
Gideon
Spilett
and
Ayrton
,
both
very
good
marksmen
,
were
armed
with
the
two
rifles
,
which
carried
nearly
a
mile
.
The
four
other
muskets
were
divided
among
Harding
,
Neb
,
Pencroft
,
and
Herbert
.
The
posts
were
arranged
in
the
following
manner
:
--
Cyrus
Harding
and
Herbert
remained
in
ambush
at
the
Chimneys
,
thus
commanding
the
shore
to
the
foot
of
Granite
House
.
Gideon
Spilett
and
Neb
crouched
among
the
rocks
at
the
mouth
of
the
Mercy
,
from
which
the
drawbridges
had
been
raised
,
so
as
to
prevent
any
one
from
crossing
in
a
boat
or
landing
on
the
opposite
shore
.
As
to
Ayrton
and
Pencroft
,
they
shoved
off
in
the
boat
,
and
prepared
to
cross
the
channel
and
to
take
up
two
separate
stations
on
the
islet
.
In
this
way
,
shots
being
fired
from
four
different
points
at
once
,
the
convicts
would
be
led
to
believe
that
the
island
was
both
largely
peopled
and
strongly
defended
.
In
the
event
of
a
landing
being
effected
without
their
having
been
able
to
prevent
it
,
and
also
if
they
saw
that
they
were
on
the
point
of
being
cut
off
by
the
brig
's
boat
,
Ayrton
and
Pencroft
were
to
return
in
their
boat
to
the
shore
and
proceed
towards
the
threatened
spot
.
Before
starting
to
occupy
their
posts
,
the
colonists
for
the
last
time
wrung
each
other
's
hands
.
Pencroft
succeeded
in
controlling
himself
sufficiently
to
suppress
his
emotion
when
he
embraced
Herbert
,
his
boy
!
and
then
they
separated
.
In
a
few
moments
Harding
and
Herbert
on
one
side
,
the
reporter
and
Neb
on
the
other
,
had
disappeared
behind
the
rocks
,
and
five
minutes
later
Ayrton
and
Pencroft
,
having
without
difficulty
crossed
the
channel
,
disembarked
on
the
islet
and
concealed
themselves
in
the
clefts
of
its
eastern
shore
.
None
of
them
could
have
been
seen
,
for
they
themselves
could
scarcely
distinguish
the
brig
in
the
fog
.
