It
was
important
that
the
trees
should
be
quickly
felled
and
cut
up
,
for
they
could
not
be
used
while
yet
green
,
and
some
time
was
necessary
to
allow
them
to
get
seasoned
.
The
carpenters
,
therefore
,
worked
vigorously
during
the
month
of
April
,
which
was
troubled
only
by
a
few
equinoctial
gales
of
some
violence
.
Master
Jup
aided
them
dexterously
,
either
by
climbing
to
the
top
of
a
tree
to
fasten
the
ropes
or
by
lending
his
stout
shoulders
to
carry
the
lopped
trunks
.
All
this
timber
was
piled
up
under
a
large
shed
,
built
near
the
Chimneys
,
and
there
awaited
the
time
for
use
.
The
month
of
April
was
tolerably
fine
,
as
October
often
is
in
the
northern
zone
.
At
the
same
time
other
work
was
actively
continued
,
and
soon
all
trace
of
devastation
disappeared
from
the
plateau
of
Prospect
Heights
.
The
mill
was
rebuilt
,
and
new
buildings
rose
in
the
poultry-yard
.
It
had
appeared
necessary
to
enlarge
their
dimensions
,
for
the
feathered
population
had
increased
considerably
.
The
stable
now
contained
five
onagers
,
four
of
which
were
well
broken
,
and
allowed
themselves
to
be
either
driven
or
ridden
,
and
a
little
colt
.
The
colony
now
possessed
a
plow
,
to
which
the
onagers
were
yoked
like
regular
Yorkshire
or
Kentucky
oxen
.
The
colonists
divided
their
work
,
and
their
arms
never
tired
.
Then
who
could
have
enjoyed
better
health
than
these
workers
,
and
what
good
humor
enlivened
the
evenings
in
Granite
House
as
they
formed
a
thousand
plans
for
the
future
!
As
a
matter
of
course
Ayrton
shared
the
common
lot
in
every
respect
,
and
there
was
no
longer
any
talk
of
his
going
to
live
at
the
corral
.
Nevertheless
he
was
still
sad
and
reserved
,
and
joined
more
in
the
work
than
in
the
pleasures
of
his
companions
.
But
he
was
a
valuable
workman
at
need
--
strong
,
skilful
,
ingenious
,
intelligent
.
He
was
esteemed
and
loved
by
all
,
and
he
could
not
be
ignorant
of
it
.
In
the
meanwhile
the
corral
was
not
abandoned
.
Every
other
day
one
of
the
settlers
,
driving
the
cart
or
mounted
on
an
onager
,
went
to
look
after
the
flock
of
musmons
and
goats
and
bring
back
the
supply
of
milk
required
by
Neb.
.
These
excursions
at
the
same
time
afforded
opportunities
for
hunting
.
Therefore
Herbert
and
Gideon
Spilett
,
with
Top
in
front
,
traversed
more
often
than
their
companions
the
road
to
the
corral
,
and
with
the
capital
guns
which
they
carried
,
capybaras
,
agouties
,
kangaroos
,
and
wild
pigs
for
large
game
,
ducks
,
grouse
,
jacamars
,
and
snipe
for
small
game
,
were
never
wanting
in
the
house
.
The
produce
of
the
warren
,
of
the
oyster-bed
,
several
turtles
which
were
taken
,
excellent
salmon
which
came
up
the
Mercy
,
vegetables
from
the
plateau
,
wild
fruit
from
the
forest
,
were
riches
upon
riches
,
and
Neb
,
the
head
cook
,
could
scarcely
by
himself
store
them
away
.
The
telegraphic
wire
between
the
corral
and
Granite
House
had
of
course
been
repaired
,
and
it
was
worked
whenever
one
or
other
of
the
settlers
was
at
the
corral
and
found
it
necessary
to
spend
the
night
there
.
Besides
,
the
island
was
safe
now
and
no
attacks
were
to
be
feared
,
at
any
rate
from
men
.
However
,
that
which
had
happened
might
happen
again
.
A
descent
of
pirates
,
or
even
of
escaped
convicts
,
was
always
to
be
feared
.
It
was
possible
that
companions
or
accomplices
of
Bob
Harvey
had
been
in
the
secret
of
his
plans
,
and
might
be
tempted
to
imitate
him
.
The
colonists
,
therefore
,
were
careful
to
observe
the
sea
around
the
island
,
and
every
day
their
telescope
covered
the
horizon
enclosed
by
Union
and
Washington
Bays
.
when
they
went
to
the
corral
they
examined
the
sea
to
the
west
with
no
less
attention
,
and
by
climbing
the
spur
their
gaze
extended
over
a
large
section
of
the
western
horizon
.
Nothing
suspicious
was
discerned
,
but
still
it
was
necessary
for
them
to
be
on
their
guard
.
