Did
the
cavern
which
the
settlers
were
now
exploring
extend
to
the
center
of
the
island
?
For
a
quarter
of
an
hour
the
boat
had
been
advancing
,
making
detours
,
indicated
to
Pencroft
by
the
engineer
in
short
sentences
,
when
all
at
once
,
--
"
More
to
the
right
!
"
he
commanded
.
The
boat
,
altering
its
course
,
came
up
alongside
the
right
wall
.
The
engineer
wished
to
see
if
the
wire
still
ran
along
the
side
.
The
wire
was
there
fastened
to
the
rock
.
"
Forward
!
"
said
Harding
.
And
the
two
oars
,
plunging
into
the
dark
waters
,
urged
the
boat
onwards
.
On
they
went
for
another
quarter
of
an
hour
,
and
a
distance
of
half-a
-
mile
must
have
been
cleared
from
the
mouth
of
the
cave
,
when
Harding
's
voice
was
again
heard
.
"
Stop
!
"
said
he
.
The
boat
stopped
,
and
the
colonists
perceived
a
bright
light
illuminating
the
vast
cavern
,
so
deeply
excavated
in
the
bowels
of
the
island
,
of
which
nothing
had
ever
led
them
to
suspect
the
existence
.
At
a
height
of
a
hundred
feet
rose
the
vaulted
roof
,
supported
on
basalt
shafts
.
Irregular
arches
,
strange
moldings
,
appeared
on
the
columns
erected
by
nature
in
thousands
from
the
first
epochs
of
the
formation
of
the
globe
.
The
basalt
pillars
,
fitted
one
into
the
other
,
measured
from
forty
to
fifty
feet
in
height
,
and
the
water
,
calm
in
spite
of
the
tumult
outside
,
washed
their
base
.
The
brilliant
focus
of
light
,
pointed
out
by
the
engineer
,
touched
every
point
of
rocks
,
and
flooded
the
walls
with
light
.
