"
A
torpedo
!
"
exclaimed
the
engineer
's
companions
.
"
And
who
put
the
torpedo
there
?
"
demanded
Pencroft
,
who
did
not
like
to
yield
.
"
All
that
I
can
tell
you
is
,
that
it
was
not
I
,
"
answered
Cyrus
Harding
;
"
but
it
was
there
,
and
you
have
been
able
to
judge
of
its
incomparable
power
!
"
So
,
then
,
all
was
explained
by
the
submarine
explosion
of
this
torpedo
.
Cyrus
Harding
could
not
be
mistaken
,
as
,
during
the
war
of
the
Union
,
he
had
had
occasion
to
try
these
terrible
engines
of
destruction
.
It
was
under
the
action
of
this
cylinder
,
charged
with
some
explosive
substance
,
nitro
-
glycerine
,
picrate
,
or
some
other
material
of
the
same
nature
,
that
the
water
of
the
channel
had
been
raised
like
a
dome
,
the
bottom
of
the
brig
crushed
in
,
and
she
had
sunk
instantly
,
the
damage
done
to
her
hull
being
so
considerable
that
it
was
impossible
to
refloat
her
.
The
"
Speedy
"
had
not
been
able
to
withstand
a
torpedo
that
would
have
destroyed
an
ironclad
as
easily
as
a
fishing-boat
!
Yes
!
all
was
explained
,
everything
--
except
the
presence
of
the
torpedo
in
the
waters
of
the
channel
!
"
My
friends
,
then
,
"
said
Cyrus
Harding
,
"
we
can
no
longer
be
in
doubt
as
to
the
presence
of
a
mysterious
being
,
a
castaway
like
us
,
perhaps
,
abandoned
on
our
island
,
and
I
say
this
in
order
that
Ayrton
may
be
acquainted
with
all
the
strange
events
which
have
occurred
during
these
two
years
.
Who
this
beneficent
stranger
is
,
whose
intervention
has
,
so
fortunately
for
us
,
been
manifested
on
many
occasions
,
I
can
not
imagine
.
What
his
object
can
be
in
acting
thus
,
in
concealing
himself
after
rendering
us
so
many
services
,
I
can
not
understand
:
But
his
services
are
not
the
less
real
,
and
are
of
such
a
nature
that
only
a
man
possessed
of
prodigious
power
,
could
render
them
.
Ayrton
is
indebted
to
him
as
much
as
we
are
,
for
,
if
it
was
the
stranger
who
saved
me
from
the
waves
after
the
fall
from
the
balloon
,
evidently
it
was
he
who
wrote
the
document
,
who
placed
the
bottle
in
the
channel
,
and
who
has
made
known
to
us
the
situation
of
our
companion
.
I
will
add
that
it
was
he
who
guided
that
chest
,
provided
with
everything
we
wanted
,
and
stranded
it
on
Flotsam
Point
;
that
it
was
he
who
lighted
that
fire
on
the
heights
of
the
island
,
which
permitted
you
to
land
;
that
it
was
he
who
fired
that
bullet
found
in
the
body
of
the
peccary
;
that
it
was
he
who
plunged
that
torpedo
into
the
channel
,
which
destroyed
the
brig
;
in
a
word
,
that
all
those
inexplicable
events
,
for
which
we
could
not
assign
a
reason
,
are
due
to
this
mysterious
being
.
Therefore
,
whoever
he
may
be
,
whether
shipwrecked
,
or
exiled
on
our
island
,
we
shall
be
ungrateful
,
if
we
think
ourselves
freed
from
gratitude
towards
him
.
We
have
contracted
a
debt
,
and
I
hope
that
we
shall
one
day
pay
it
.
"
"
You
are
right
in
speaking
thus
,
my
dear
Cyrus
,
"
replied
Gideon
Spilett
.
"
Yes
,
there
is
an
almost
all-powerful
being
,
hidden
in
some
part
of
the
island
,
and
whose
influence
has
been
singularly
useful
to
our
colony
.
I
will
add
that
the
unknown
appears
to
possess
means
of
action
which
border
on
the
supernatural
,
if
in
the
events
of
practical
life
the
supernatural
were
recognizable
.
Is
it
he
who
is
in
secret
communication
with
us
by
the
well
in
Granite
House
,
and
has
he
thus
a
knowledge
of
all
our
plans
?
Was
it
he
who
threw
us
that
bottle
,
when
the
vessel
made
her
first
cruise
?
Was
it
he
who
threw
Top
out
of
the
lake
,
and
killed
the
dugong
?
Was
it
he
,
who
as
everything
leads
us
to
believe
,
saved
you
from
the
waves
,
and
that
under
circumstances
in
which
any
one
else
would
not
have
been
able
to
act
?
If
it
was
he
,
he
possesses
a
power
which
renders
him
master
of
the
elements
.
"
The
reporter
's
reasoning
was
just
,
and
every
one
felt
it
to
be
so
.
