"
It
is
noted
,
"
replied
the
reporter
.
Then
,
Neb
helping
him
,
the
seaman
arranged
the
spit
,
and
the
capybara
,
properly
cleaned
,
was
soon
roasting
like
a
suckling-pig
before
a
clear
,
crackling
fire
.
The
Chimneys
had
again
become
more
habitable
,
not
only
because
the
passages
were
warmed
by
the
fire
,
but
because
the
partitions
of
wood
and
mud
had
been
re-established
.
It
was
evident
that
the
engineer
and
his
companions
had
employed
their
day
well
.
Cyrus
Harding
had
almost
entirely
recovered
his
strength
,
and
had
proved
it
by
climbing
to
the
upper
plateau
.
From
this
point
his
eye
,
accustomed
to
estimate
heights
and
distances
,
was
fixed
for
a
long
time
on
the
cone
,
the
summit
of
which
he
wished
to
reach
the
next
day
.
The
mountain
,
situated
about
six
miles
to
the
northwest
,
appeared
to
him
to
measure
3,500
feet
above
the
level
of
the
sea
.
Consequently
the
gaze
of
an
observer
posted
on
its
summit
would
extend
over
a
radius
of
at
least
fifty
miles
.
Therefore
it
was
probable
that
Harding
could
easily
solve
the
question
of
"
island
or
continent
,
"
to
which
he
attached
so
much
importance
.
They
supped
capitally
.
The
flesh
of
the
capybara
was
declared
excellent
.
The
sargassum
and
the
almonds
of
the
stone-pine
completed
the
repast
,
during
which
the
engineer
spoke
little
.
He
was
preoccupied
with
projects
for
the
next
day
.
Once
or
twice
Pencroft
gave
forth
some
ideas
upon
what
it
would
be
best
to
do
;
but
Cyrus
Harding
,
who
was
evidently
of
a
methodical
mind
,
only
shook
his
head
without
uttering
a
word
.
"
To-morrow
,
"
he
repeated
,
"
we
shall
know
what
we
have
to
depend
upon
,
and
we
will
act
accordingly
.
"
The
meal
ended
,
fresh
armfuls
of
wood
were
thrown
on
the
fire
,
and
the
inhabitants
of
the
Chimneys
,
including
the
faithful
Top
,
were
soon
buried
in
a
deep
sleep
.
No
incident
disturbed
this
peaceful
night
,
and
the
next
day
,
the
29th
of
March
,
fresh
and
active
they
awoke
,
ready
to
undertake
the
excursion
which
must
determine
their
fate
.
All
was
ready
for
the
start
.
The
remains
of
the
capybara
would
be
enough
to
sustain
Harding
and
his
companions
for
at
least
twenty-four
hours
.
