They
once
more
set
out
.
The
tide
began
to
rise
,
and
urged
by
the
wind
it
threatened
to
be
unusually
high
,
as
it
was
a
spring
tide
.
Great
billows
thundered
against
the
reef
with
such
violence
that
they
probably
passed
entirely
over
the
islet
,
then
quite
invisible
.
The
mole
no
longer
protected
the
coast
,
which
was
directly
exposed
to
the
attacks
of
the
open
sea
.
As
soon
as
the
sailor
and
his
companions
left
the
precipice
,
the
wind
struck
them
again
with
renewed
fury
.
Though
bent
under
the
gale
they
walked
very
quickly
,
following
Top
,
who
did
not
hesitate
as
to
what
direction
to
take
.
They
ascended
towards
the
north
,
having
on
their
left
an
interminable
extent
of
billows
,
which
broke
with
a
deafening
noise
,
and
on
their
right
a
dark
country
,
the
aspect
of
which
it
was
impossible
to
guess
.
But
they
felt
that
it
was
comparatively
flat
,
for
the
wind
passed
completely
over
them
,
without
being
driven
back
as
it
was
when
it
came
in
contact
with
the
cliff
.
At
four
o'clock
in
the
morning
,
they
reckoned
that
they
had
cleared
about
five
miles
.
The
clouds
were
slightly
raised
,
and
the
wind
,
though
less
damp
,
was
very
sharp
and
cold
.
Insufficiently
protected
by
their
clothing
,
Pencroft
,
Herbert
and
Spilett
suffered
cruelly
,
but
not
a
complaint
escaped
their
lips
.
They
were
determined
to
follow
Top
,
wherever
the
intelligent
animal
wished
to
lead
them
.
Towards
five
o'clock
day
began
to
break
.
At
the
zenith
,
where
the
fog
was
less
thick
,
gray
shades
bordered
the
clouds
;
under
an
opaque
belt
,
a
luminous
line
clearly
traced
the
horizon
.
The
crests
of
the
billows
were
tipped
with
a
wild
light
,
and
the
foam
regained
its
whiteness
.
At
the
same
time
on
the
left
the
hilly
parts
of
the
coast
could
be
seen
,
though
very
indistinctly
.
At
six
o'clock
day
had
broken
.
The
clouds
rapidly
lifted
.
The
seaman
and
his
companions
were
then
about
six
miles
from
the
Chimneys
.
They
were
following
a
very
flat
shore
bounded
by
a
reef
of
rocks
,
whose
heads
scarcely
emerged
from
the
sea
,
for
they
were
in
deep
water
.
On
the
left
,
the
country
appeared
to
be
one
vast
extent
of
sandy
downs
,
bristling
with
thistles
.
There
was
no
cliff
,
and
the
shore
offered
no
resistance
to
the
ocean
but
a
chain
of
irregular
hillocks
.
Here
and
there
grew
two
or
three
trees
,
inclined
towards
the
west
,
their
branches
projecting
in
that
direction
.
Quite
behind
,
in
the
southwest
,
extended
the
border
of
the
forest
.
At
this
moment
,
Top
became
very
excited
.
He
ran
forward
,
then
returned
,
and
seemed
to
entreat
them
to
hasten
their
steps
.
The
dog
then
left
the
beach
,
and
guided
by
his
wonderful
instinct
,
without
showing
the
least
hesitation
,
went
straight
in
among
the
downs
.
They
followed
him
.
The
country
appeared
an
absolute
desert
.
Not
a
living
creature
was
to
be
seen
.
The
downs
,
the
extent
of
which
was
large
,
were
composed
of
hillocks
and
even
of
hills
,
very
irregularly
distributed
.
They
resembled
a
Switzerland
modeled
in
sand
,
and
only
an
amazing
instinct
could
have
possibly
recognized
the
way
.
Five
minutes
after
having
left
the
beach
,
the
reporter
and
his
two
companions
arrived
at
a
sort
of
excavation
,
hollowed
out
at
the
back
of
a
high
mound
.
There
Top
stopped
,
and
gave
a
loud
,
clear
bark
.
Spilett
,
Herbert
,
and
Pencroft
dashed
into
the
cave
.
