We
will
not
separate

"
There
was
not
a
moment
to
be
lost
.
The
colonists
left
the
Chimneys
.
A
bend
of
the
cliff
prevented
them
from
being
seen
by
those
in
the
brig
,
but
two
or
three
reports
,
and
the
crash
of
bullets
on
the
rock
,
told
them
that
the
"
Speedy
"
was
at
no
great
distance
.
To
spring
into
the
lift
,
hoist
themselves
up
to
the
door
of
Granite
House
,
where
Top
and
Jup
had
been
shut
up
since
the
evening
before
,
to
rush
into
the
large
room
,
was
the
work
of
a
minute
only
.

It
was
quite
time
,
for
the
settlers
,
through
the
branches
,
could
see
the
"
Speedy
,
"
surrounded
with
smoke
,
gliding
up
the
channel
.
The
firing
was
incessant
,
and
shot
from
the
four
guns
struck
blindly
,
both
on
the
Mercy
post
,
although
it
was
not
occupied
,
and
on
the
Chimneys
.
The
rocks
were
splintered
,
and
cheers
accompanied
each
discharge
.
However
,
they
were
hoping
that
Granite
House
would
be
spared
,
thanks
to
Harding
's
precaution
of
concealing
the
windows
when
a
shot
,
piercing
the
door
,
penetrated
into
the
passage
.
"
We
are
discovered
!
"
exclaimed
Pencroft
.
The
colonists
had
not
,
perhaps
,
been
seen
,
but
it
was
certain
that
Bob
Harvey
had
thought
proper
to
send
a
ball
through
the
suspected
foliage
which
concealed
that
part
of
the
cliff
.
Soon
he
redoubled
his
attack
,
when
another
ball
having
torn
away
the
leafy
screen
,
disclosed
a
gaping
aperture
in
the
granite
.
The
colonists
'
situation
was
desperate
.
Their
retreat
was
discovered
.
They
could
not
oppose
any
obstacle
to
these
missiles
,
nor
protect
the
stone
,
which
flew
in
splinters
around
them

There
was
nothing
to
be
done
but
to
take
refuge
in
the
upper
passage
of
Granite
House
,
and
leave
their
dwelling
to
be
devastated
,
when
a
deep
roar
was
heard
,
followed
by
frightful
cries
!
Cyrus
Harding
and
his
companions
rushed
to
one
of
the
windows
--
The
brig
,
irresistibly
raised
on
a
sort
of
water-spout
,
had
just
split
in
two
,
and
in
less
than
ten
seconds
she
was
swallowed
up
with
all
her
criminal
crew
!
