A
man
was
moving
about
in
the
midst
of
the
smoke
.
It
was
Neb.
.
His
companions
uttered
a
shout
.
He
heard
,
and
ran
to
meet
them
.
The
convicts
had
left
the
plateau
nearly
half-an-hour
before
,
having
devastated
it
!

"
And
Mr.
Herbert
?
"
asked
Neb.
.
Gideon
Spilett
returned
to
the
cart
.
Herbert
had
lost
consciousness
!
Of
the
convicts
,
the
dangers
which
menaced
Granite
House
,
the
ruins
with
which
the
plateau
was
covered
,
the
colonists
thought
no
longer
.
Herbert
's
critical
state
outweighed
all
other
considerations
.
Would
the
removal
prove
fatal
to
him
by
causing
some
internal
injury
?
The
reporter
could
not
affirm
it
,
but
he
and
his
companions
almost
despaired
of
the
result
.
The
cart
was
brought
to
the
bend
of
the
river
.
There
some
branches
,
disposed
as
a
liner
,
received
the
mattress
on
which
lay
the
unconscious
Herbert
.
Ten
minutes
after
,
Cyrus
Harding
,
Spilett
,
and
Pencroft
were
at
the
foot
of
the
cliff
,
leaving
Neb
to
take
the
cart
on
to
the
plateau
of
Prospect
Heights
.
The
lift
was
put
in
motion
,
and
Herbert
was
soon
stretched
on
his
bed
in
Granite
House
.

What
cares
were
lavished
on
him
to
bring
him
back
to
life
!
He
smiled
for
a
moment
on
finding
himself
in
his
room
,
but
could
scarcely
even
murmur
a
few
words
,
so
great
was
his
weakness
.
Gideon
Spilett
examined
his
wounds
.
He
feared
to
find
them
reopened
,
having
been
imperfectly
healed
.
There
was
nothing
of
the
sort
.
From
whence
,
then
,
came
this
prostration
?
why
was
Herbert
so
much
worse
?
The
lad
then
fell
into
a
kind
of
feverish
sleep
,
and
the
reporter
and
Pencroft
remained
near
the
bed
.
During
this
time
,
Harding
told
Neb
all
that
had
happened
at
the
corral
,
and
Neb
recounted
to
his
master
the
events
of
which
the
plateau
had
just
been
the
theater
.
It
was
only
during
the
preceding
night
that
the
convicts
had
appeared
on
the
edge
of
the
forest
,
at
the
approaches
to
Creek
Glycerine
.
Neb
,
who
was
watching
near
the
poultry-yard
,
had
not
hesitated
to
fire
at
one
of
the
pirates
,
who
was
about
to
cross
the
stream
;
but
in
the
darkness
he
could
not
tell
whether
the
man
had
been
hit
or
not
.
At
any
rate
,
it
was
not
enough
to
frighten
away
the
band
,
and
Neb
had
only
just
time
to
get
up
to
Granite
House
,
where
at
least
he
was
in
safety
.
