"
It
is
enough
to
break
one
's
heart
!
"
said
Gideon
Spilett
,
one
day
.
"
Yes
,
Spilett
,
"
answered
the
engineer
.
"
May
God
grant
us
the
time
to
complete
this
vessel
,
now
our
sole
refuge
!
"
"
Do
not
you
think
,
Cyrus
,
that
the
violence
of
the
eruption
has
somewhat
lessened
?
The
volcano
still
vomits
forth
lava
,
but
somewhat
less
abundantly
,
if
I
mistake
not
.

"
It
matters
little
,
"
answered
Cyrus
Harding
.
"
The
fire
is
still
burning
in
the
interior
of
the
mountain
,
and
the
sea
may
break
in
at
any
moment
.
We
are
in
the
condition
of
passengers
whose
ship
is
devoured
by
a
conflagration
which
they
can
not
extinguish
,
and
who
know
that
sooner
or
later
the
flames
must
reach
the
powder-magazine
.
To
work
,
Spilett
,
to
work
,
and
let
us
not
lose
an
hour
!
"
During
eight
days
more
,
that
is
to
say
until
the
7th
of
February
,
the
lava
continued
to
flow
,
but
the
eruption
was
confined
within
the
previous
limits
.
Cyrus
Harding
feared
above
all
lest
the
liquefied
matter
should
overflow
the
shore
,
for
in
that
event
the
dockyard
could
not
escape
.
Moreover
,
about
this
time
the
colonists
felt
in
the
frame
of
the
island
vibrations
which
alarmed
them
to
the
highest
degree
.
It
was
the
20th
of
February
.
Yet
another
month
must
elapse
before
the
vessel
would
be
ready
for
sea
.
Would
the
island
hold
together
till
then
?
The
intention
of
Pencroft
and
Cyrus
Harding
was
to
launch
the
vessel
as
soon
as
the
hull
should
be
complete
.
The
deck
,
the
upperworks
,
the
interior
woodwork
and
the
rigging
might
be
finished
afterwards
,
but
the
essential
point
was
that
the
colonists
should
have
an
assured
refuge
away
from
the
island
.
Perhaps
it
might
be
even
better
to
conduct
the
vessel
to
Port
Balloon
,
that
is
to
say
,
as
far
as
possible
from
the
center
of
eruption
,
for
at
the
mouth
of
the
Mercy
,
between
the
islet
and
the
wall
of
granite
,
it
would
run
the
risk
of
being
crushed
in
the
event
of
any
convulsion
.
All
the
exertions
of
the
voyagers
were
therefore
concentrated
upon
the
completion
of
the
hull
.

Thus
the
3rd
of
March
arrived
,
and
they
might
calculate
upon
launching
the
vessel
in
ten
days
.
Hope
revived
in
the
hearts
of
the
colonists
,
who
had
,
in
this
fourth
year
of
their
sojourn
on
Lincoln
island
,
suffered
so
many
trials
.
Even
Pencroft
lost
in
some
measure
the
somber
taciturnity
occasioned
by
the
devastation
and
ruin
of
his
domain
.
His
hopes
,
it
is
true
,
were
concentrated
upon
his
vessel
.
"
We
shall
finish
it
,
"
he
said
to
the
engineer
,
"
we
shall
finish
it
,
captain
,
and
it
is
time
,
for
the
season
is
advancing
and
the
equinox
will
soon
be
here
.
Well
,
if
necessary
,
we
must
put
in
to
Tabor
island
to
spend
the
winter
.
But
think
of
Tabor
island
after
Lincoln
Island
.
Ah
,
how
unfortunate
!
Who
could
have
believed
it
possible
?
