After
working
an
hour
,
Pencroft
,
who
was
in
a
complete
state
of
perspiration
,
threw
down
the
pieces
of
wood
in
disgust
.
"
I
can
never
be
made
to
believe
that
savages
light
their
fires
in
this
way
,
let
them
say
what
they
will
,
"
he
exclaimed
.
"
I
could
sooner
light
my
arms
by
rubbing
them
against
each
other
!
"
The
sailor
was
wrong
to
despise
the
proceeding
.
Savages
often
kindle
wood
by
means
of
rapid
rubbing
.
But
every
sort
of
wood
does
not
answer
for
the
purpose
,
and
besides
,
there
is
"
the
knack
,
"
following
the
usual
expression
,
and
it
is
probable
that
Pencroft
had
not
"
the
knack
.
"
Pencroft
's
ill
humor
did
not
last
long
.
Herbert
had
taken
the
bits
of
wood
which
he
had
turned
down
,
and
was
exerting
himself
to
rub
them
.
The
hardy
sailor
could
not
restrain
a
burst
of
laughter
on
seeing
the
efforts
of
the
lad
to
succeed
where
he
had
failed
.
"
Rub
,
my
boy
,
rub
!
"
said
he
.
"
I
am
rubbing
,
"
replied
Herbert
,
laughing
,
"
but
I
do
n't
pretend
to
do
anything
else
but
warm
myself
instead
of
shivering
,
and
soon
I
shall
be
as
hot
as
you
are
,
my
good
Pencroft
!
"
This
soon
happened
.
However
,
they
were
obliged
to
give
up
,
for
this
night
at
least
,
the
attempt
to
procure
fire
.
Gideon
Spilett
repeated
,
for
the
twentieth
time
,
that
Cyrus
Harding
would
not
have
been
troubled
for
so
small
a
difficulty
.
And
,
in
the
meantime
,
he
stretched
himself
in
one
of
the
passages
on
his
bed
of
sand
.
Herbert
,
Neb
,
and
Pencroft
did
the
same
,
while
Top
slept
at
his
master
's
feet
.
Next
day
,
the
28th
of
March
,
when
the
engineer
awoke
,
about
eight
in
the
morning
,
he
saw
his
companions
around
him
watching
his
sleep
,
and
,
as
on
the
day
before
,
his
first
words
were
:
--
"
Island
or
continent
?
"
This
was
his
uppermost
thought
.
"
Well
!
"
replied
Pencroft
,
"
we
do
n't
know
anything
about
it
,
captain
!
"
