Indeed
,
in
these
three
words
was
summed
up
so
much
fatigue
uselessly
expended
,
so
much
energy
producing
no
results
,
that
somewhat
of
anger
mingled
with
the
discomfiture
of
Cyrus
Harding
and
his
companions
.
It
was
now
time
to
think
of
returning
,
for
these
researches
could
not
be
prolonged
indefinitely
.
The
colonists
were
certainly
right
in
believing
that
the
mysterious
being
did
not
reside
on
the
surface
of
the
island
,
and
the
wildest
fancies
haunted
their
excited
imaginations
.
Pencroft
and
Neb
,
particularly
,
were
not
contented
with
the
mystery
,
but
allowed
their
imaginations
to
wander
into
the
domain
of
the
supernatural
.
On
the
25th
of
February
the
colonists
re-entered
Granite
House
,
and
by
means
of
the
double
cord
,
carried
by
an
arrow
to
the
threshold
of
the
door
,
they
re-established
communication
between
their
habitation
and
the
ground
.
A
month
later
they
commemorated
,
on
the
25th
of
March
,
the
third
anniversary
of
their
arrival
on
Lincoln
Island
.
Three
years
had
passed
away
since
the
escape
of
the
prisoners
from
Richmond
,
and
how
often
during
those
three
years
had
they
spoken
of
their
country
,
always
present
in
their
thoughts
!
They
had
no
doubt
that
the
civil
war
was
at
an
end
,
and
to
them
it
appeared
impossible
that
the
just
cause
of
the
North
had
not
triumphed
.
But
what
had
been
the
incidents
of
this
terrible
war
?
How
much
blood
had
it
not
cost
?
How
many
of
their
friends
must
have
fallen
in
the
struggle
?
They
often
spoke
of
these
things
,
without
as
yet
being
able
to
foresee
the
day
when
they
would
be
permitted
once
more
to
see
their
country
.
To
return
thither
,
were
it
but
for
a
few
days
,
to
renew
the
social
link
with
the
inhabited
world
,
to
establish
a
communication
between
their
native
land
and
their
island
,
then
to
pass
the
longest
,
perhaps
the
best
,
portion
of
their
existence
in
this
colony
,
founded
by
them
,
and
which
would
then
be
dependent
on
their
country
,
was
this
a
dream
impossible
to
realize
?
There
were
only
two
ways
of
accomplishing
it
--
either
a
ship
must
appear
off
Lincoln
Island
,
or
the
colonists
must
themselves
build
a
vessel
strong
enough
to
sail
to
the
nearest
land
.
"
Unless
,
"
said
Pencroft
,
"
our
good
genius
,
himself
provides
us
with
the
means
of
returning
to
our
country
.
"
And
,
really
,
had
any
one
told
Pencroft
and
Neb
that
a
ship
of
300
tons
was
waiting
for
them
in
Shark
Gulf
or
at
Port
Balloon
,
they
would
not
even
have
made
a
gesture
of
surprise
.
In
their
state
of
mind
nothing
appeared
improbable
.
But
Cyrus
Harding
,
less
confident
,
advised
them
to
confine
themselves
to
fact
,
and
more
especially
so
with
regard
to
the
building
of
a
vessel
--
a
really
urgent
work
,
since
it
was
for
the
purpose
of
depositing
,
as
soon
as
possible
,
at
Tabor
Island
a
document
indicating
Ayrton
's
new
residence
.
