The

hull

of

the

"

Speedy

"

was

just

beginning

to

issue

from

the

water

.

The

brig

was

lying

right

over

on

her

side

,

for

her

masts

being

broken

,

pressed

down

by

the

weight

of

the

ballast

displaced

by

the

shock

,

the

keel

was

visible

along

her

whole

length

.

She

had

been

regularly

turned

over

by

the

inexplicable

but

frightful

submarine

action

,

which

had

been

at

the

same

time

manifested

by

an

enormous

water-spout

.

The

settlers

rowed

round

the

hull

,

and

in

proportion

as

the

tide

went

down

,

they

could

ascertain

,

if

not

the

cause

which

had

occasioned

the

catastrophe

,

at

least

the

effect

produced

.

Towards

the

bows

,

on

both

sides

of

the

keel

,

seven

or

eight

feet

from

the

beginning

of

the

stem

,

the

sides

of

the

brig

were

frightfully

torn

.

Over

a

length

of

at

least

twenty

feet

there

opened

two

large

leaks

,

which

would

be

impossible

to

stop

up

.

Not

only

had

the

copper

sheathing

and

the

planks

disappeared

,

reduced

,

no

doubt

,

to

powder

,

but

also

the

ribs

,

the

iron

bolts

,

and

treenalls

which

united

them

.

From

the

entire

length

of

the

hull

to

the

stern

the

false

keel

had

been

separated

with

an

unaccountable

violence

,

and

the

keel

itself

,

torn

from

the

carline

in

several

places

,

was

split

in

all

its

length

.

"

I

've

a

notion

!

"

exclaimed

Pencroft

,

"

that

this

vessel

will

be

difficult

to

get

afloat

again

.

"

"

It

will

be

impossible

,

"

said

Ayrton

.

"

At

any

rate

,

"

observed

Gideon

Spilett

to

the

sailor

,

"

the

explosion

,

if

there

has

been

one

,

has

produced

singular

effects

!

It

has

split

the

lower

part

of

the

hull

,

instead

of

blowing

up

the

deck

and

topsides

!

These

great

rents

appear

rather

to

have

been

made

by

a

rock

than

by

the

explosion

of

a

powder-magazine

.

"

There

is

not

a

rock

in

the

channel

!

"

answered

the

sailor

.

"

I

will

admit

anything

you

like

,

except

the

rock

.

"

"

Let

us

try

to

penetrate

into

the

interior

of

the

brig

,

"

said

the

engineer

;

"

perhaps

we

shall

then

know

what

to

think

of

the

cause

of

her

destruction

.

"

This

was

the

best

thing

to

be

done

,

and

it

was

agreed

,

besides

,

to

take

an

inventory

of

all

the

treasures

on

board

,

and

to

arrange

their

preservation

.
