Suddenly
Pencroft
,
uttering
a
cry
,
pointed
to
the
table
.
On
it
lay
a
little
oblong
box
,
of
which
the
cover
bore
these
words
:
--
"
SULPHATE
OF
QUININE
.
"
Gideon
Spilett
took
the
box
and
opened
it
.
It
contained
nearly
two
hundred
grains
of
a
white
powder
,
a
few
particles
of
which
he
carried
to
his
lips
.
The
extreme
bitterness
of
the
substance
precluded
all
doubt
;
it
was
certainly
the
precious
extract
of
quinine
,
that
pre-eminent
antifebrile
.
This
powder
must
be
administered
to
Herbert
without
delay
.
How
it
came
there
might
be
discussed
later
.
"
Some
coffee
!
"
said
Spilett
.
In
a
few
moments
Neb
brought
a
cup
of
the
warm
infusion
.
Gideon
Spilett
threw
into
it
about
eighteen
grains
of
quinine
,
and
they
succeeded
in
making
Herbert
drink
the
mixture
.
There
was
still
time
,
for
the
third
attack
of
the
malignant
fever
had
not
yet
shown
itself
.
How
they
longed
to
be
able
to
add
that
it
would
not
return
!
Besides
,
it
must
be
remarked
,
the
hopes
of
all
had
now
revived
.
The
mysterious
influence
had
been
again
exerted
,
and
in
a
critical
moment
,
when
they
had
despaired
of
it
.
In
a
few
hours
Herbert
was
much
calmer
.
The
colonists
could
now
discuss
this
incident
.
The
intervention
of
the
stranger
was
more
evident
than
ever
.
But
how
had
he
been
able
to
penetrate
during
the
night
into
Granite
House
?
It
was
inexplicable
,
and
,
in
truth
,
the
proceedings
of
the
genius
of
the
island
were
not
less
mysterious
than
was
that
genius
himself
.
During
this
day
the
sulphate
of
quinine
was
administered
to
Herbert
every
three
hours
.
The
next
day
some
improvement
in
Herbert
's
condition
was
apparent
.
Certainly
,
he
was
not
out
of
danger
,
intermittent
fevers
being
subject
to
frequent
and
dangerous
relapses
,
but
the
most
assiduous
care
was
bestowed
on
him
.
