What
magnificent
flames
!
"
exclaimed
Herbert
.
At
this
instant
a
kind
of
bouquet
of
flames
shot
forth
from
the
crater
,
the
brilliancy
of
which
was
visible
even
through
the
vapors
.
Thousands
of
luminous
sheets
and
barbed
tongues
of
fire
were
cast
in
various
directions
.
Some
,
extending
beyond
the
dome
of
smoke
,
dissipated
it
,
leaving
behind
an
incandescent
powder
.
This
was
accompanied
by
successive
explosions
,
resembling
the
discharge
of
a
battery
of
machine-guns
.
Cyrus
Harding
,
the
reporter
,
and
Herbert
,
after
spending
an
hour
on
the
plateau
of
Prospect
Heights
,
again
descended
to
the
beach
,
and
returned
to
Granite
House
.
The
engineer
was
thoughtful
and
preoccupied
,
so
much
so
,
indeed
,
that
Gideon
Spilett
inquired
if
he
apprehended
any
immediate
danger
,
of
which
the
eruption
might
directly
or
indirectly
be
the
cause
.
"
Yes
,
and
no
,
"
answered
Cyrus
Harding
.
"
Nevertheless
,
"
continued
the
reporter
,
"
would
not
the
greatest
misfortune
which
could
happen
to
us
be
an
earthquake
which
would
overturn
the
island
?
Now
,
I
do
not
suppose
that
this
is
to
be
feared
,
since
the
vapors
and
lava
have
found
a
free
outlet
.
"
"
True
,
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
,
"
and
I
do
not
fear
an
earthquake
in
the
sense
in
which
the
term
is
commonly
applied
to
convulsions
of
the
soil
provoked
by
the
expansion
of
subterranean
gases
.
But
other
causes
may
produce
great
disasters
.
"
"
How
so
,
my
dear
Cyrus
?
'
"
I
am
not
certain
.
I
must
consider
.
I
must
visit
the
mountain
.
In
a
few
days
I
shall
learn
more
on
this
point
.
"
Gideon
Spilett
said
no
more
,
and
soon
,
in
spite
of
the
explosions
of
the
volcano
,
whose
intensity
increased
,
and
which
were
repeated
by
the
echoes
of
the
island
,
the
inhabitants
of
Granite
House
were
sleeping
soundly
.
