In
a
moment
the
reporter
and
his
two
companions
had
crossed
the
corral
and
reached
the
gate
of
the
palisade
behind
which
Top
was
heard
growling
sullenly
.
The
engineer
,
leaving
Ayrton
for
an
instant
,
came
out
ready
to
fire
.
Herbert
was
at
his
side
.
Both
surveyed
the
crest
of
the
spur
overlooking
the
corral
.
If
the
convicts
were
lying
in
ambush
there
,
they
might
knock
the
settlers
over
one
after
the
other
.
At
that
moment
the
moon
appeared
in
the
east
,
above
the
black
curtain
of
the
forest
,
and
a
white
sheet
of
light
spread
over
the
interior
of
the
enclosure
.
The
corral
,
with
its
clumps
of
trees
,
the
little
stream
which
watered
it
,
its
wide
carpet
of
grass
,
was
suddenly
illuminated
.
From
the
side
of
the
mountain
,
the
house
and
a
part
of
the
palisade
stood
out
white
in
the
moonlight
.
On
the
opposite
side
towards
the
door
,
the
enclosure
remained
dark
.
A
black
mass
soon
appeared
.
This
was
the
cart
entering
the
circle
of
light
,
and
Cyrus
Harding
could
hear
the
noise
made
by
the
door
,
as
his
companions
shut
it
and
fastened
the
interior
bars
.
But
,
at
that
moment
,
Top
,
breaking
loose
,
began
to
bark
furiously
and
rush
to
the
back
of
the
corral
,
to
the
right
of
the
house
.
"
Be
ready
to
fire
,
my
friends
!
"
cried
Harding
.
The
colonists
raised
their
pieces
and
waited
the
moment
to
fire
.
Top
still
barked
,
and
Jup
,
running
towards
the
dog
,
uttered
shrill
cries
.
The
colonists
followed
him
,
and
reached
the
borders
of
the
little
stream
,
shaded
by
large
trees
And
there
,
in
the
bright
moonlight
,
what
did
they
see
?
Five
corpses
,
stretched
on
the
bank
!
They
were
those
of
the
convicts
who
,
four
months
previously
,
had
landed
on
Lincoln
Island
!
