Cyrus
Harding
explained
these
things
to
his
companions
,
and
,
without
exaggerating
the
state
of
things
,
he
told
them
all
the
pros
and
cons
.
After
all
,
they
could
not
prevent
it
.
It
did
not
appear
likely
that
Granite
House
would
be
threatened
unless
the
ground
was
shaken
by
an
earthquake
.
But
the
corral
would
be
in
great
danger
should
a
new
crater
open
in
the
southern
side
of
Mount
Franklin
.
From
that
day
the
smoke
never
disappeared
from
the
top
of
the
mountain
,
and
it
could
even
be
perceived
that
it
increased
in
height
and
thickness
,
without
any
flame
mingling
in
its
heavy
volumes
.
The
phenomenon
was
still
concentrated
in
the
lower
part
of
the
central
crater
.
However
,
with
the
fine
days
work
had
been
continued
.
The
building
of
the
vessel
was
hastened
as
much
as
possible
,
and
,
by
means
of
the
waterfall
on
the
shore
,
Cyrus
Harding
managed
to
establish
an
hydraulic
sawmill
,
which
rapidly
cut
up
the
trunks
of
trees
into
planks
and
joists
.
The
mechanism
of
this
apparatus
was
as
simple
as
those
used
in
the
rustic
sawmills
of
Norway
.
A
first
horizontal
movement
to
move
the
piece
of
wood
,
a
second
vertical
movement
to
move
the
saw
--
this
was
all
that
was
wanted
;
and
the
engineer
succeeded
by
means
of
a
wheel
,
two
cylinders
,
and
pulleys
properly
arranged
.
Towards
the
end
of
the
month
of
September
the
skeleton
of
the
vessel
,
which
was
to
be
rigged
as
a
schooner
,
lay
in
the
dockyard
.
The
ribs
were
almost
entirely
completed
,
and
,
all
the
timbers
having
been
sustained
by
a
provisional
band
,
the
shape
of
the
vessel
could
already
be
seen
.
The
schooner
,
sharp
in
the
bows
,
very
slender
in
the
after-part
,
would
evidently
be
suitable
for
a
long
voyage
,
if
wanted
;
but
laying
the
planking
would
still
take
a
considerable
time
.
Very
fortunately
,
the
iron
work
of
the
pirate
brig
had
been
saved
after
the
explosion
.
From
the
planks
and
injured
ribs
Pencroft
and
Ayrton
had
extracted
the
bolts
and
a
large
quantity
of
copper
nails
.
It
was
so
much
work
saved
for
the
smiths
,
but
the
carpenters
had
much
to
do
.
Shipbuilding
was
interrupted
for
a
week
for
the
harvest
,
the
haymaking
,
and
the
gathering
in
of
the
different
crops
on
the
plateau
.
This
work
finished
,
every
moment
was
devoted
to
finishing
the
schooner
.
When
night
came
the
workmen
were
really
quite
exhausted
.
So
as
not
to
lose
any
time
they
had
changed
the
hours
for
their
meals
;
they
dined
at
twelve
o'clock
,
and
only
had
their
supper
when
daylight
failed
them
.
They
then
ascended
to
Granite
House
,
when
they
were
always
ready
to
go
to
bed
.
Sometimes
,
however
,
when
the
conversation
bore
on
some
interesting
subject
the
hour
for
sleep
was
delayed
for
a
time
.
The
colonists
then
spoke
of
the
future
,
and
talked
willingly
of
the
changes
which
a
voyage
in
the
schooner
to
inhabited
lands
would
make
in
their
situation
.
But
always
,
in
the
midst
of
these
plans
,
prevailed
the
thought
of
a
subsequent
return
to
Lincoln
Island
.
Never
would
they
abandon
this
colony
,
founded
with
so
much
labor
and
with
such
success
,
and
to
which
a
communication
with
America
would
afford
a
fresh
impetus
.
Pencroft
and
Neb
especially
hoped
to
end
their
days
there
.
"
Herbert
,
"
said
the
sailor
,
"
you
will
never
abandon
Lincoln
Island
?
"
"
Never
,
Pencroft
,
and
especially
if
you
make
up
your
mind
to
stay
there
.
"
"
That
was
made
up
long
ago
,
my
boy
,
"
answered
Pencroft
.
"
I
shall
expect
you
.
