"
Then
,
how
did
it
happen
?
"
asked
Herbert
.
"
I
do
n't
know
,
"
answered
Pencroft
,
"
Captain
Harding
does
n't
know
,
and
nobody
knows
or
ever
will
know
!
"
Several
hours
had
passed
during
these
researches
,
and
the
tide
began
to
flow
.
Work
must
be
suspended
for
the
present
.
There
was
no
fear
of
the
brig
being
carried
away
by
the
sea
,
for
she
was
already
fixed
as
firmly
as
if
moored
by
her
anchors
.
They
could
,
therefore
,
without
inconvenience
,
wait
until
the
next
day
to
resume
operations
;
but
,
as
to
the
vessel
itself
,
she
was
doomed
,
and
it
would
be
best
to
hasten
to
save
the
remains
of
her
hull
,
as
she
would
not
be
long
in
disappearing
in
the
quicksands
of
the
channel
.
It
was
now
five
o'clock
in
the
evening
.
It
had
been
a
hard
day
's
work
for
the
men
.
They
ate
with
good
appetite
,
and
notwithstanding
their
fatigue
,
they
could
not
resist
,
after
dinner
,
their
desire
of
inspecting
the
cases
which
composed
the
cargo
of
the
"
Speedy
.
"
Most
of
them
contained
clothes
,
which
,
as
may
be
believed
,
was
well
received
.
There
were
enough
to
clothe
a
whole
colony
--
linen
for
every
one
's
use
,
shoes
for
every
one
's
feet
.
"
We
are
too
rich
!
"
exclaimed
Pencroft
,
"
But
what
are
we
going
to
do
with
all
this
?
"
And
every
moment
burst
forth
the
hurrahs
of
the
delighted
sailor
when
he
caught
sight
of
the
barrels
of
gunpowder
,
firearms
and
sidearms
,
balls
of
cotton
,
implements
of
husbandry
,
carpenter
's
,
joiner
's
,
and
blacksmith
's
tools
,
and
boxes
of
all
kinds
of
seeds
,
not
in
the
least
injured
by
their
short
sojourn
in
the
water
.
Ah
,
two
years
before
,
how
these
things
would
have
been
prized
!
And
now
,
even
though
the
industrious
colonists
had
provided
themselves
with
tools
,
these
treasures
would
find
their
use
.
There
was
no
want
of
space
in
the
store-rooms
of
Granite
House
,
but
that
daytime
would
not
allow
them
to
stow
away
the
whole
.
It
would
not
do
also
to
forget
that
the
six
survivors
of
the
"
Speedy
's
"
crew
had
landed
on
the
island
,
for
they
were
in
all
probability
scoundrels
of
the
deepest
dye
,
and
it
was
necessary
that
the
colonists
should
be
on
their
guard
against
them
.
Although
the
bridges
over
the
Mercy
were
raised
,
the
convicts
would
not
be
stopped
by
a
river
or
a
stream
and
,
rendered
desperate
,
these
wretches
would
be
capable
of
anything
.
