Ayrton
then
proceeded
to
enter
the
corral
,
and
,
while
awaiting
the
engineer
's
return
,
busied
himself
with
the
musmons
and
goats
which
seemed
to
feel
a
certain
uneasiness
in
presence
of
these
first
signs
of
an
eruption
.
Meanwhile
Cyrus
Harding
ascended
the
crest
of
the
eastern
spur
,
passed
Red
Creek
,
and
arrived
at
the
spot
where
he
and
his
companions
had
discovered
a
sulphurous
spring
at
the
time
of
their
first
exploration
.
How
changed
was
everything
!
Instead
of
a
single
column
of
smoke
he
counted
thirteen
,
forced
through
the
soil
as
if
violently
propelled
by
some
piston
.
It
was
evident
that
the
crust
of
the
earth
was
subjected
in
this
part
of
the
globe
to
a
frightful
pressure
.
The
atmosphere
was
saturated
with
gases
and
carbonic
acid
,
mingled
with
aqueous
vapors
.
Cyrus
Harding
felt
the
volcanic
tufa
with
which
the
plain
was
strewn
,
and
which
was
but
pulverized
cinders
hardened
into
solid
blocks
by
time
,
tremble
beneath
him
,
but
he
could
discover
no
traces
of
fresh
lava
.
The
engineer
became
more
assured
of
this
when
he
observed
all
the
northern
part
of
Mount
Franklin
.
Pillars
of
smoke
and
flame
escaped
from
the
crater
;
a
hail
of
scoriae
fell
on
the
ground
;
but
no
current
of
lava
burst
from
the
mouth
of
the
volcano
,
which
proved
that
the
volcanic
matter
had
not
yet
attained
the
level
of
the
superior
orifice
of
the
central
shaft
.
"
But
I
would
prefer
that
it
were
so
,
"
said
Cyrus
Harding
to
himself
.
"
At
any
rate
,
I
should
then
know
that
the
lava
had
followed
its
accustomed
track
.
who
can
say
that
it
may
not
take
a
new
course
?
But
the
danger
does
not
consist
in
that
!
Captain
Nemo
foresaw
it
clearly
!
No
,
the
danger
does
not
lie
there
!
"
Cyrus
Harding
advanced
towards
the
enormous
causeway
whose
prolongation
enclosed
the
narrow
Shark
Gulf
.
He
could
now
sufficiently
examine
on
this
side
the
ancient
channels
of
the
lava
.
There
was
no
doubt
in
his
mind
that
the
most
recent
eruption
had
occurred
at
a
far-distant
epoch
.
He
then
returned
by
the
same
way
,
listening
attentively
to
the
subterranean
mutterings
which
rolled
like
long-continued
thunder
,
interrupted
by
deafening
explosions
.
At
nine
in
the
morning
he
reached
the
corral
.
Ayrton
awaited
him
.
"
The
animals
are
cared
for
,
Captain
Harding
,
"
said
Ayrton
.
