In
the
evening
,
after
supper
,
Cyrus
Harding
,
Gideon
Spilett
,
and
Herbert
again
ascended
the
plateau
of
Prospect
Heights
.
It
was
already
dark
,
and
the
obscurity
would
permit
them
to
ascertain
if
flames
or
incandescent
matter
thrown
up
by
the
volcano
were
mingled
with
the
vapor
and
smoke
accumulated
at
the
mouth
of
the
crater
.
"
The
crater
is
on
fire
!
"
said
Herbert
,
who
,
more
active
than
his
companion
,
first
reached
the
plateau
.
Mount
Franklin
,
distant
about
six
miles
,
now
appeared
like
a
gigantic
torch
,
around
the
summit
of
which
turned
fuliginous
flames
.
So
much
smoke
,
and
possibly
scoriae
and
cinders
were
mingled
with
them
,
that
their
light
gleamed
but
faintly
amid
the
gloom
of
the
night
.
But
a
kind
of
lurid
brilliancy
spread
over
the
island
,
against
which
stood
out
confusedly
the
wooded
masses
of
the
heights
.
Immense
whirlwinds
of
vapor
obscured
the
sky
,
through
which
glimmered
a
few
stars
.
"
The
change
is
rapid
!
"
said
the
engineer
.
"
That
is
not
surprising
,
"
answered
the
reporter
.
"
The
reawakening
of
the
volcano
already
dates
back
some
time
.
You
may
remember
,
Cyrus
,
that
the
first
vapors
appeared
about
the
time
we
searched
the
sides
of
the
mountain
to
discover
Captain
Nemo
's
retreat
.
It
was
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
about
the
15th
of
October
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
replied
Herbert
,
"
two
months
and
a
half
ago
!
"
"
The
subterranean
fires
have
therefore
been
smoldering
for
ten
weeks
,
"
resumed
Gideon
Spilett
,
"
and
it
is
not
to
be
wondered
at
that
they
now
break
out
with
such
violence
!
"
"
Do
not
you
feel
a
certain
vibration
of
the
soil
?
"
asked
Cyrus
Harding
.
"
Yes
,
"
replied
Gideon
Spilett
,
"
but
there
is
a
great
difference
between
that
and
an
earthquake
.
"
"
I
do
not
affirm
that
we
are
menaced
with
an
earthquake
,
"
answered
Cyrus
Harding
,
"
may
God
preserve
us
from
that
!
No
;
these
vibrations
are
due
to
the
effervescence
of
the
central
fire
.
The
crust
of
the
earth
is
simply
the
shell
of
a
boiler
,
and
you
know
that
such
a
shell
,
under
the
pressure
of
steam
,
vibrates
like
a
sonorous
plate
.
it
is
this
effect
which
is
being
produced
at
this
moment
.
