The
kitchen-garden
was
destroyed
.
Happily
,
Granite
House
possessed
a
store
of
seed
which
would
enable
them
to
repair
these
misfortunes
.
As
to
the
wall
and
buildings
of
the
poultry-yard
and
the
onagers
stable
,
the
fire
had
destroyed
all
.
A
few
terrified
creatures
roamed
over
the
plateau
.
The
birds
,
which
during
the
fire
had
taken
refuge
on
the
waters
of
the
lake
,
had
already
returned
to
their
accustomed
spot
,
and
were
dabbling
on
the
banks
.
Everything
would
have
to
be
reconstructed
.
Cyrus
Harding
's
face
,
which
was
paler
than
usual
,
expressed
an
internal
anger
which
he
commanded
with
difficulty
,
but
he
did
not
utter
a
word
.
Once
more
he
looked
at
his
devastated
fields
,
and
at
the
smoke
which
still
rose
from
the
ruins
,
then
he
returned
to
Granite
House
.
The
following
days
were
the
saddest
of
any
that
the
colonists
had
passed
on
the
island
!
Herbert
's
weakness
visibly
increased
.
It
appeared
that
a
more
serious
malady
,
the
consequence
of
the
profound
physiological
disturbance
he
had
gone
through
,
threatened
to
declare
itself
,
and
Gideon
Spilett
feared
such
an
aggravation
of
his
condition
that
he
would
be
powerless
to
fight
against
it
!
In
fact
,
Herbert
remained
in
an
almost
continuous
state
of
drowsiness
,
and
symptoms
of
delirium
began
to
manifest
themselves
.
Refreshing
drinks
were
the
only
remedies
at
the
colonists
'
disposal
.
The
fever
was
not
as
yet
very
high
,
but
it
soon
appeared
that
it
would
probably
recur
at
regular
intervals
.
Gideon
Spilett
first
recognized
this
on
the
6th
of
December
.
The
poor
boy
,
whose
fingers
,
nose
,
and
ears
had
become
extremely
pale
,
was
at
first
seized
with
slight
shiverings
,
horripilations
,
and
tremblings
.
His
pulse
was
weak
and
irregular
,
his
skin
dry
,
his
thirst
intense
.
To
this
soon
succeeded
a
hot
fit
;
his
face
became
flushed
;
his
skin
reddened
;
his
pulse
quick
;
then
a
profuse
perspiration
broke
out
after
which
the
fever
seemed
to
diminish
.
The
attack
had
lasted
nearly
five
hours
.
Gideon
Spilett
had
not
left
Herbert
,
who
,
it
was
only
too
certain
,
was
now
seized
by
an
intermittent
fever
,
and
this
fever
must
be
cured
at
any
cost
before
it
should
assume
a
more
serious
aspect
.
"
And
in
order
to
cure
it
,
"
said
Spilett
to
Cyrus
Harding
,
"
we
need
a
febrifuge
.
"
"
A
febrifuge
--
"
answered
the
engineer
.
"
We
have
neither
Peruvian
bark
,
nor
sulphate
of
quinine
.
"
"
No
,
"
said
Gideon
Spilett
,
"
but
there
are
willows
on
the
border
of
the
lake
,
and
the
bark
of
the
willow
might
,
perhaps
,
prove
to
be
a
substitute
for
quinine
.
