They
would
see
later
what
plan
it
would
be
best
to
follow
;
but
in
the
meantime
it
was
necessary
to
mount
guard
over
cases
and
packages
heaped
up
near
the
Chimneys
,
and
thus
the
settlers
employed
themselves
in
turn
during
the
night
.
The
morning
came
,
however
,
without
the
convicts
having
attempted
any
attack
.
Master
Jup
and
Top
,
on
guard
at
the
foot
of
Granite
House
,
would
have
quickly
given
the
alarm
.
The
three
following
day
--
the
19th
,
20th
,
and
21st
of
October
--
were
employed
in
saving
everything
of
value
,
or
of
any
use
whatever
,
either
from
the
cargo
or
rigging
of
the
brig.
At
low
tide
they
overhauled
the
hold
--
at
high
tide
they
stowed
away
the
rescued
articles
.
A
great
part
of
the
copper
sheathing
had
been
torn
from
the
hull
,
which
every
day
sank
lower
.
But
before
the
sand
had
swallowed
the
heavy
things
which
had
fallen
through
the
bottom
,
Ayrton
and
Pencroft
,
diving
to
the
bed
of
the
channel
,
recovered
the
chains
and
anchors
of
the
brig
,
the
iron
of
her
ballast
,
and
even
four
guns
,
which
,
floated
by
means
of
empty
casks
,
were
brought
to
shore
.
It
may
be
seen
that
the
arsenal
of
the
colony
had
gained
by
the
wreck
,
as
well
as
the
storerooms
of
Granite
House
.
Pencroft
,
always
enthusiastic
in
his
projects
,
already
spoke
of
constructing
a
battery
to
command
the
channel
and
the
mouth
of
the
river
.
With
four
guns
,
he
engaged
to
prevent
any
fleet
,
"
however
powerful
it
might
be
,
"
from
venturing
into
the
waters
of
Lincoln
Island
!
In
the
meantime
,
when
nothing
remained
of
the
brig
but
a
useless
hulk
,
bad
weather
came
on
,
which
soon
finished
her
.
Cyrus
Harding
had
intended
to
blow
her
up
,
so
as
to
collect
the
remains
on
the
shore
,
but
a
strong
gale
from
the
northeast
and
a
heavy
sea
compelled
him
to
economize
his
powder
.
In
fact
,
on
the
night
of
the
23rd
,
the
hull
entirely
broke
up
,
and
some
of
the
wreck
was
cast
up
on
the
beach
.
As
to
the
papers
on
board
,
it
is
useless
to
say
that
,
although
he
carefully
searched
the
lockers
of
the
poop
,
Harding
did
not
discover
any
trace
of
them
.
The
pirates
had
evidently
destroyed
everything
that
concerned
either
the
captain
or
the
owners
of
the
"
Speedy
,
"
and
,
as
the
name
of
her
port
was
not
painted
on
her
counter
,
there
was
nothing
which
would
tell
them
her
nationality
.
However
,
by
the
shape
of
her
boats
Ayrton
and
Pencroft
believed
that
the
brig
was
of
English
build
.
A
week
after
the
castrophe
--
or
,
rather
,
after
the
fortunate
,
though
inexplicable
,
event
to
which
the
colony
owed
its
preservation
--
nothing
more
could
be
seen
of
the
vessel
,
even
at
low
tide
.
The
wreck
had
disappeared
,
and
Granite
House
was
enriched
by
nearly
all
it
had
contained
.
However
,
the
mystery
which
enveloped
its
strange
destruction
would
doubtless
never
have
been
cleared
away
if
,
on
the
30th
of
November
,
Neb
,
strolling
on
the
beach
,
had
not
found
a
piece
of
a
thick
iron
cylinder
,
bearing
traces
of
explosion
.
The
edges
of
this
cylinder
were
twisted
and
broken
,
as
if
they
had
been
subjected
to
the
action
of
some
explosive
substance
.
Neb
brought
this
piece
of
metal
to
his
master
,
who
was
then
occupied
with
his
companions
in
the
workshop
of
the
Chimneys
