That
is
what
I
have
been
,
Pencroft
.
"
"
But
what
you
are
no
longer
,
brave
Ayrton
!
"
returned
the
sailor
warmly
.
It
was
singular
enough
that
so
few
bodies
floated
.
Only
five
or
six
were
counted
,
which
were
already
being
carried
by
the
current
towards
the
open
sea
.
Very
probably
the
convicts
had
not
had
time
to
escape
,
and
the
ship
lying
over
on
her
side
,
the
greater
number
of
them
had
remained
below
.
Now
the
current
,
by
carrying
the
bodies
of
these
miserable
men
out
to
sea
,
would
spare
the
colonists
the
sad
task
of
burying
them
in
some
corner
of
their
island
.
For
two
hours
,
Cyrus
Harding
and
his
companions
were
solely
occupied
in
hauling
up
the
spars
on
to
the
sand
,
and
then
in
spreading
the
sails
which
were
perfectly
uninjured
,
to
dry
.
They
spoke
little
,
for
they
were
absorbed
in
their
work
,
but
what
thoughts
occupied
their
minds
!
The
possession
of
this
brig
,
or
rather
all
that
she
contained
,
was
a
perfect
mine
of
wealth
.
In
fact
,
a
ship
is
like
a
little
world
in
miniature
,
and
the
stores
of
the
colony
would
be
increased
by
a
large
number
of
useful
articles
.
It
would
be
,
on
a
large
scale
,
equivalent
to
the
chest
found
at
Flotsam
Point
.
"
And
besides
,
"
thought
Pencroft
,
"
why
should
it
be
impossible
to
refloat
the
brig
?
If
she
has
only
a
leak
,
that
may
be
stopped
up
;
a
vessel
from
three
to
four
hundred
tons
,
why
she
is
a
regular
ship
compared
to
our
'
Bonadventure
'
!
And
we
could
go
a
long
distance
in
her
!
We
could
go
anywhere
we
liked
!
Captain
Harding
,
Ayrton
and
I
must
examine
her
!
She
would
be
well
worth
the
trouble
!
"
In
fact
,
if
the
brig
was
still
fit
to
navigate
,
the
colonists
'
chances
of
returning
to
their
native
land
were
singularly
increased
.
But
,
to
decide
this
important
question
,
it
was
necessary
to
wait
until
the
tide
was
quite
low
,
so
that
every
part
of
the
brig
's
hull
might
be
examined
.
When
their
treasures
had
been
safely
conveyed
on
shore
,
Harding
and
his
companions
agreed
to
devote
some
minutes
to
breakfast
.
They
were
almost
famished
;
fortunately
,
the
larder
was
not
far
off
,
and
Neb
was
noted
for
being
an
expeditious
cook
.
They
breakfasted
,
therefore
,
near
the
Chimneys
,
and
during
their
repast
,
as
may
be
supposed
,
nothing
was
talked
of
but
the
event
which
had
so
miraculously
saved
the
colony
.
"
Miraculous
is
the
word
,
"
repeated
Pencroft
,
"
for
it
must
be
acknowledged
that
those
rascals
blew
up
just
at
the
right
moment
!
Granite
House
was
beginning
to
be
uncomfortable
as
a
habitation
!
"
"
And
can
you
guess
,
Pencroft
,
"
asked
the
reporter
,
"
how
it
happened
,
or
what
can
have
occasioned
the
explosion
?
