On
their
retreat
,
Neb
hurried
out
.
He
climbed
the
plateau
at
the
risk
of
being
perceived
and
fired
at
,
tried
to
extinguish
the
fire
which
was
consuming
the
buildings
of
the
poultry-yard
,
and
had
struggled
,
though
in
vain
,
against
it
until
the
cart
appeared
at
the
edge
of
the
wood
.
Such
had
been
these
serious
events
.
The
presence
of
the
convicts
constituted
a
permanent
source
of
danger
to
the
settlers
in
Lincoln
Island
,
until
then
so
happy
,
and
who
might
now
expect
still
greater
misfortunes
.
Spilett
remained
in
Granite
House
with
Herbert
and
Pencroft
,
while
Cyrus
Harding
,
accompanied
by
Neb
,
proceeded
to
judge
for
himself
of
the
extent
of
the
disaster
.
It
was
fortunate
that
the
convicts
had
not
advanced
to
the
foot
of
Granite
House
.
The
workshop
at
the
Chimneys
would
in
that
case
not
have
escaped
destruction
.
But
after
all
,
this
evil
would
have
been
more
easily
reparable
than
the
ruins
accumulated
on
the
plateau
of
Prospect
Heights
.
Harding
and
Neb
proceeded
towards
the
Mercy
,
and
ascended
its
left
bank
without
meeting
with
any
trace
of
the
convicts
;
nor
on
the
other
side
of
the
river
,
in
the
depths
of
the
wood
,
could
they
perceive
any
suspicious
indications
.
Besides
,
it
might
be
supposed
that
in
all
probability
either
the
convicts
knew
of
the
return
of
the
settlers
to
Granite
House
,
by
having
seen
them
pass
on
the
road
from
the
corral
,
or
,
after
the
devastation
of
the
plateau
,
they
had
penetrated
into
Jacamar
Wood
,
following
the
course
of
the
Mercy
,
and
were
thus
ignorant
of
their
return
.
In
the
former
case
,
they
must
have
returned
towards
the
corral
,
now
without
defenders
,
and
which
contained
valuable
stores
.
In
the
latter
,
they
must
have
regained
their
encampment
,
and
would
wait
on
opportunity
to
recommence
the
attack
.
It
was
,
therefore
,
possible
to
prevent
them
,
but
any
enterprise
to
clear
the
island
was
now
rendered
difficult
by
reason
of
Herbert
's
condition
.
Indeed
,
their
whole
force
would
have
been
barely
sufficient
to
cope
with
the
convicts
,
and
just
now
no
one
could
leave
Granite
House
.
The
engineer
and
Neb
arrived
on
the
plateau
.
Desolation
reigned
everywhere
.
The
fields
had
been
trampled
over
;
the
ears
of
wheat
,
which
were
nearly
full-grown
,
lay
on
the
ground
.
The
other
plantations
had
not
suffered
less
.
