On
the
11th
of
November
,
two
of
the
villains
,
surprised
by
the
colonists
'
arrival
,
fired
at
Herbert
,
and
one
of
them
returned
,
boasting
of
having
killed
one
of
the
inhabitants
of
the
island
;
but
he
returned
alone
.
His
companion
,
as
is
known
,
fell
by
Cyrus
Harding
's
dagger
.
Ayrton
's
anxiety
and
despair
may
be
imagined
when
he
learned
the
news
of
Herbert
's
death
.
The
settlers
were
now
only
four
,
and
,
as
it
seemed
,
at
the
mercy
of
the
convicts
.
After
this
event
,
and
during
all
the
time
that
the
colonists
,
detained
by
Herbert
's
illness
,
remained
in
the
corral
,
the
pirates
did
not
leave
their
cavern
,
and
even
after
they
had
pillaged
the
plateau
of
Prospect
Heights
,
they
did
not
think
it
prudent
to
abandon
it
.
The
ill-treatment
inflicted
on
Ayrton
was
now
redoubled
.
His
hands
and
feet
still
bore
the
bloody
marks
of
the
cords
which
bound
him
day
and
night
.
Every
moment
he
expected
to
be
put
to
death
,
nor
did
it
appear
possible
that
he
could
escape
.
Matters
remained
thus
until
the
third
week
of
February
.
The
convicts
,
still
watching
for
a
favorable
opportunity
,
rarely
quitted
their
retreat
,
and
only
made
a
few
hunting
excursions
,
either
to
the
interior
of
the
island
,
or
the
south
coast
.
Ayrton
had
no
further
news
of
his
friends
,
and
relinquished
all
hope
of
ever
seeing
them
again
.
At
last
,
the
unfortunate
man
,
weakened
by
ill
-
treatment
,
fell
into
a
prostration
so
profound
that
sight
and
hearing
failed
him
.
From
that
moment
,
that
is
to
say
,
since
the
last
two
days
,
he
could
give
no
information
whatever
of
what
had
occurred
.
"
But
,
Captain
Harding
,
"
he
added
,
"
since
I
was
imprisoned
in
that
cavern
,
how
is
it
that
I
find
myself
in
the
corral
?
"
"
How
is
it
that
the
convicts
are
lying
yonder
dead
,
in
the
middle
of
the
enclosure
?
"
answered
the
engineer
.
"
Dead
!
"
cried
Ayrton
,
half
rising
from
his
bed
,
notwithstanding
his
weakness
.
His
companions
supported
him
.
He
wished
to
get
up
,
and
with
their
assistance
he
did
so
.
They
then
proceeded
together
towards
the
little
stream
.
