A
few
moments
later
the
needle
,
moving
on
the
alphabetic
dial
,
gave
this
reply
to
the
tenants
of
Granite
House
:
--
"
Come
to
the
corral
immediately
.
"
"
At
last
!
"
exclaimed
Harding

Yes
!
At
last
!
The
mystery
was
about
to
be
unveiled
.
The
colonists
'
fatigue
had
disappeared
before
the
tremendous
interest
which
was
about
to
urge
them
to
the
corral
,
and
all
wish
for
rest
had
ceased
.
Without
having
uttered
a
word
,
in
a
few
moments
they
had
left
Granite
House
,
and
were
standing
on
the
beach
.
Jup
and
Top
alone
were
left
behind
.
They
could
do
without
them
.
The
night
was
black
.
The
new
moon
had
disappeared
at
the
same
time
as
the
sun
.
As
Herbert
had
observed
,
great
stormy
clouds
formed
a
lowering
and
heavy
vault
,
preventing
any
star
rays
.
A
few
lightning
flashes
,
reflections
from
a
distant
storm
,
illuminated
the
horizon
.
It
was
possible
that
a
few
hours
later
the
thunder
would
roll
over
the
island
itself
.
The
night
was
very
threatening
.
But
however
deep
the
darkness
was
,
it
would
not
prevent
them
from
finding
the
familiar
road
to
the
corral
.

They
ascended
the
left
bank
of
the
Mercy
,
reached
the
plateau
,
passed
the
bridge
over
Creek
Glycerine
,
and
advanced
through
the
forest
.
They
walked
at
a
good
pace
,
a
prey
to
the
liveliest
emotions
.
There
was
no
doubt
but
that
they
were
now
going
to
learn
the
long-searched-for
answer
to
the
enigma
,
the
name
of
that
mysterious
being
,
so
deeply
concerned
in
their
life
,
so
generous
in
his
influence
,
so
powerful
in
his
action
!
Must
not
this
stranger
have
indeed
mingled
with
their
existence
,
have
known
the
smallest
details
,
have
heard
all
that
was
said
in
Granite
House
,
to
have
been
able
always
to
act
in
the
very
nick
of
time
?
Every
one
,
wrapped
up
in
his
own
reflections
,
pressed
forward
.
Under
the
arch
of
trees
the
darkness
was
such
that
even
the
edge
of
the
road
could
not
be
seen
.
Not
a
sound
in
the
forest
.
Both
animals
and
birds
,
influenced
by
the
heaviness
of
the
atmosphere
,
remained
motionless
and
silent
.
Not
a
breath
disturbed
the
leaves
.
The
footsteps
of
the
colonists
alone
resounded
on
the
hardened
ground
.
