The
colonists
remained
,
therefore
,
near
the
cart
,
and
carefully
watched
the
neighboring
parts
of
the
forest
.
Three
hours
passed
thus
.
The
wind
had
fallen
,
and
absolute
silence
reigned
under
the
great
trees
.
The
snapping
of
the
smallest
twig
,
a
footstep
on
the
dry
leaves
,
the
gliding
of
a
body
among
the
grass
,
would
have
been
heard
without
difficulty
.
All
was
quiet
.
Besides
,
Top
,
lying
on
the
grass
,
his
head
stretched
out
on
his
paws
,
gave
no
sign
of
uneasiness
.
At
eight
o'clock
the
day
appeared
far
enough
advanced
for
the
reconnaissance
to
be
made
under
favorable
conditions
.
Gideon
Spilett
declared
himself
ready
to
set
out
accompanied
by
Pencroft
.
Cyrus
Harding
consented
.
Top
and
Jup
were
to
remain
with
the
engineer
,
Herbert
,
and
Neb
,
for
a
bark
or
a
cry
at
a
wrong
moment
would
give
the
alarm
.
"
Do
not
be
imprudent
,
"
said
Harding
to
the
reporter
and
Pencroft
,
"
you
have
not
to
gain
possession
of
the
corral
,
but
only
to
find
out
whether
it
is
occupied
or
not
.
"
"
All
right
,
"
answered
Pencroft
.
And
the
two
departed
.
Under
the
trees
,
thanks
to
the
thickness
of
their
foliage
,
the
obscurity
rendered
any
object
invisible
beyond
a
radius
of
from
thirty
to
forty
feet
.
The
reporter
and
Pencroft
,
halting
at
any
suspicious
sound
,
advanced
with
great
caution
.
They
walked
a
little
distance
apart
from
each
other
so
as
to
offer
a
less
mark
for
a
shot
.
And
,
to
tell
the
truth
,
they
expected
every
moment
to
hear
a
report
.
Five
minutes
after
leaving
the
cart
,
Gideon
Spilett
and
Pencroft
arrived
at
the
edge
of
the
wood
before
the
clearing
beyond
which
rose
the
palisade
.
They
stopped
.
A
few
straggling
beams
still
fell
on
the
field
clear
of
trees
.
Thirty
feet
distant
was
the
gate
of
the
corral
,
which
appeared
to
be
closed
.
This
thirty
feet
,
which
it
was
necessary
to
cross
from
the
wood
to
the
palisade
,
constituted
the
dangerous
zone
,
to
borrow
a
ballistic
term
:
in
fact
,
one
or
more
bullets
fired
from
behind
the
palisade
might
knock
over
any
one
who
ventured
on
to
this
zone
.
Gideon
Spilett
and
the
sailor
were
not
men
to
draw
back
,
but
they
knew
that
any
imprudence
on
their
part
,
of
which
they
would
be
the
first
victims
,
would
fall
afterwards
on
their
companions
.
If
they
themselves
were
killed
,
what
would
become
of
Harding
,
Neb
,
and
Herbert
?
