That
is
difficult
to
say
,
Cyrus
,
"
answered
the
reporter
,
"
for
any
imprudence
might
involve
terrible
consequences
.
But
his
convalescence
is
progressing
,
and
if
he
continues
to
gain
strength
,
in
eight
days
from
now
--
well
,
we
shall
see
.
"
Eight
days
!
That
would
put
off
the
return
to
Granite
House
until
the
first
days
of
December
.
At
this
time
two
months
of
spring
had
already
passed
.
The
weather
was
fine
,
and
the
heat
began
to
be
great
.
The
forests
of
the
island
were
in
full
leaf
,
and
the
time
was
approaching
when
the
usual
crops
ought
to
be
gathered
.
The
return
to
the
plateau
of
Prospect
Heights
would
,
therefore
,
be
followed
by
extensive
agricultural
labors
,
interrupted
only
by
the
projected
expedition
through
the
island
.
It
can
,
therefore
,
be
well
understood
how
injurious
this
seclusion
in
the
corral
must
have
been
to
the
colonists
.
But
if
they
were
compelled
to
bow
before
necessity
,
they
did
not
do
so
without
impatience
.
Once
or
twice
the
reporter
ventured
out
into
the
road
and
made
the
tour
of
the
palisade
.
Top
accompanied
him
,
and
Gideon
Spilett
,
his
gun
cocked
,
was
ready
for
any
emergency
.
He
met
with
no
misadventure
and
found
no
suspicious
traces
.
His
dog
would
have
warned
him
of
any
danger
,
and
,
as
Top
did
not
bark
,
it
might
be
concluded
that
there
was
nothing
to
fear
at
the
moment
at
least
,
and
that
the
convicts
were
occupied
in
another
part
of
the
island
.
However
,
on
his
second
sortie
,
on
the
27th
of
November
,
Gideon
Spilett
,
who
had
ventured
a
quarter
of
a
mile
into
the
woods
,
towards
the
south
of
the
mountain
,
remarked
that
Top
scented
something
.
The
dog
had
no
longer
his
unconcerned
manner
;
he
went
backwards
and
forwards
,
ferreting
among
the
grass
and
bushes
as
if
his
smell
had
revealed
some
suspicious
object
to
him
.
Gideon
Spilett
followed
Top
,
encouraged
him
,
excited
him
by
his
voice
,
while
keeping
a
sharp
look-out
,
his
gun
ready
to
fire
,
and
sheltering
himself
behind
the
trees
.
It
was
not
probable
that
Top
scented
the
presence
of
man
,
for
in
that
case
,
he
would
have
announced
it
by
half-uttered
,
sullen
,
angry
barks
.
Now
,
as
he
did
not
growl
,
it
was
because
danger
was
neither
near
nor
approaching
.
Nearly
five
minutes
passed
thus
,
Top
rummaging
,
the
reporter
following
him
prudently
when
,
all
at
once
,
the
dog
rushed
towards
a
thick
bush
,
and
drew
out
a
rag
.
It
was
a
piece
of
cloth
,
stained
and
torn
,
which
Spilett
immediately
brought
back
to
the
corral
.
