As
for
that
,
"
said
Pencroft
,
"
when
one
has
four
hands
at
one
's
service
,
of
course
one
's
work
ought
to
be
done
so
much
the
better
!
"
And
indeed
the
intelligent
creature
did
it
well
.
During
the
seven
months
which
had
passed
since
the
last
researches
made
round
the
mountain
,
and
during
the
month
of
September
,
which
brought
back
fine
weather
,
nothing
was
heard
of
the
genius
of
the
island
.
His
power
was
not
manifested
in
any
way
.
It
is
true
that
it
would
have
been
superfluous
,
for
no
incident
occurred
to
put
the
colonists
to
any
painful
trial
.
Cyrus
Harding
even
observed
that
if
by
chance
the
communication
between
the
unknown
and
the
tenants
of
Granite
House
had
ever
been
established
through
the
granite
,
and
if
Top
's
instinct
had
as
it
were
felt
it
,
there
was
no
further
sign
of
it
during
this
period
.
The
dog
's
growling
had
entirely
ceased
,
as
well
as
the
uneasiness
of
the
orang
The
two
friends
--
for
they
were
such
--
no
longer
prowled
round
the
opening
of
the
inner
well
,
nor
did
they
bark
or
whine
in
that
singular
way
which
from
the
first
the
engineer
had
noticed
.
But
could
he
be
sure
that
this
was
all
that
was
to
be
said
about
this
enigma
,
and
that
he
should
never
arrive
at
a
solution
?
Could
he
be
certain
that
some
conjuncture
would
not
occur
which
would
bring
the
mysterious
personage
on
the
scene
?
who
could
tell
what
the
future
might
have
in
reserve
?
At
last
the
winter
was
ended
,
but
an
event
,
the
consequences
of
which
might
be
serious
occurred
in
the
first
days
of
the
returning
spring
.
On
the
7th
of
September
,
Cyrus
Harding
,
having
observed
the
crater
,
saw
smoke
curling
round
the
summit
of
the
mountain
,
its
first
vapors
rising
in
the
air
.
The
colonists
,
warned
by
the
engineer
,
left
their
work
and
gazed
in
silence
at
the
summit
of
Mount
Franklin
.
The
volcano
had
awoke
,
and
the
vapor
had
penetrated
the
mineral
layer
heaped
at
the
bottom
of
the
crater
.
But
would
the
subterranean
fires
provoke
any
violent
eruption
?
This
was
an
event
which
could
not
be
foreseen
.
However
,
even
while
admitting
the
possibility
of
an
eruption
,
it
was
not
probable
that
the
whole
of
Lincoln
Island
would
suffer
from
it
.
The
flow
of
volcanic
matter
is
not
always
disastrous
,
and
the
island
had
already
undergone
this
trial
,
as
was
shown
by
the
streams
of
lava
hardened
on
the
northern
slopes
of
the
mountain
.
Besides
,
from
the
shape
of
the
crater
--
the
opening
broken
in
the
upper
edge
--
the
matter
would
be
thrown
to
the
side
opposite
the
fertile
regions
of
the
island
.
However
,
the
past
did
not
necessarily
answer
for
the
future
.
Often
,
at
the
summit
of
volcanoes
,
the
old
craters
close
and
new
ones
open
.
This
had
occurred
in
the
two
hemispheres
--
at
Etna
,
Popocatepetl
,
at
Orizabaand
on
the
eve
of
an
eruption
there
is
everything
to
be
feared
.
In
fact
,
an
earthquake
--
a
phenomenon
which
often
accompanies
volcanic
eruption
--
is
enough
to
change
the
interior
arrangement
of
a
mountain
,
and
to
open
new
outlets
for
the
burning
lava
.
