They
had
both
been
there
for
about
ten
minutes
,
when
a
report
was
heard
,
followed
by
repeated
barks
.
The
engineer
opened
the
gate
,
and
seeing
smoke
a
hundred
feet
off
in
the
wood
,
he
fired
in
that
direction
.
Almost
immediately
Top
bounded
into
the
corral
,
and
the
gate
was
quickly
shut
.
"
Top
,
Top
!
"
exclaimed
the
engineer
,
taking
the
dog
's
great
honest
head
between
his
hands
.
A
note
was
fastened
to
his
neck
,
and
Cyrus
Harding
read
these
words
,
traced
in
Neb
's
large
writing
:
--
"
No
pirates
in
the
neighborhood
of
Granite
House
.
I
will
not
stir
.
Poor
Mr.
Herbert
!
"
So
the
convicts
were
still
there
,
watching
the
corral
,
and
determined
to
kill
the
settlers
one
after
the
other
.
There
was
nothing
to
be
done
but
to
treat
them
as
wild
beasts
.
But
great
precautions
must
be
taken
,
for
just
now
the
wretches
had
the
advantage
on
their
side
,
seeing
,
and
not
being
seen
,
being
able
to
surprise
by
the
suddenness
of
their
attack
,
yet
not
to
be
surprised
themselves
.
Harding
made
arrangements
,
therefore
,
for
living
in
the
corral
,
of
which
the
provisions
would
last
for
a
tolerable
length
of
time
.
Ayrton
's
house
had
been
provided
with
all
that
was
necessary
for
existence
,
and
the
convicts
,
scared
by
the
arrival
of
the
settlers
,
had
not
had
time
to
pillage
it
.
It
was
probable
,
as
Gideon
Spilett
observed
,
that
things
had
occurred
as
follows
:
The
six
convicts
,
disembarking
on
the
island
,
had
followed
the
southern
shore
,
and
after
having
traversed
the
double
shore
of
the
Serpentine
Peninsula
,
not
being
inclined
to
venture
into
the
Far
West
woods
,
they
had
reached
the
mouth
of
Falls
River
.
From
this
point
,
by
following
the
right
bank
of
the
watercourse
,
they
would
arrive
at
the
spurs
of
Mount
Franklin
,
among
which
they
would
naturally
seek
a
retreat
,
and
they
could
not
have
been
long
in
discovering
the
corral
,
then
uninhabited
.
There
they
had
regularly
installed
themselves
,
awaiting
the
moment
to
put
their
abominable
schemes
into
execution
.
Ayrton
's
arrival
had
surprised
them
,
but
they
had
managed
to
overpower
the
unfortunate
man
,
and
--
the
rest
may
be
easily
imagined
!
Now
,
the
convicts
,
--
reduced
to
five
,
it
is
true
,
but
well
armed
,
--
were
roaming
the
woods
,
and
to
venture
there
was
to
expose
themselves
to
their
attacks
,
which
could
be
neither
guarded
against
nor
prevented
.
"
Wait
!
There
is
nothing
else
to
be
done
!
"
repeated
Cyrus
Harding
.
"
When
Herbert
is
cured
,
we
can
organize
a
general
battle
of
the
island
,
and
have
satisfaction
of
these
convicts
.
That
will
be
the
object
of
our
grand
expedition
at
the
same
time
--
