Half
an
hour
later
Cyrus
Harding
and
Herbert
had
returned
to
the
encampment
.
The
engineer
merely
told
his
companions
that
the
land
upon
which
fate
had
thrown
them
was
an
island
,
and
that
the
next
day
they
would
consult
.
Then
each
settled
himself
as
well
as
he
could
to
sleep
,
and
in
that
rocky
hole
,
at
a
height
of
two
thousand
five
hundred
feet
above
the
level
of
the
sea
,
through
a
peaceful
night
,
the
islanders
enjoyed
profound
repose
.
The
next
day
,
the
30th
of
March
,
after
a
hasty
breakfast
,
which
consisted
solely
of
the
roasted
tragopan
,
the
engineer
wished
to
climb
again
to
the
summit
of
the
volcano
,
so
as
more
attentively
to
survey
the
island
upon
which
he
and
his
companions
were
imprisoned
for
life
perhaps
,
should
the
island
be
situated
at
a
great
distance
from
any
land
,
or
if
it
was
out
of
the
course
of
vessels
which
visited
the
archipelagoes
of
the
Pacific
Ocean
.
This
time
his
companions
followed
him
in
the
new
exploration
.
They
also
wished
to
see
the
island
,
on
the
productions
of
which
they
must
depend
for
the
supply
of
all
their
wants
.
It
was
about
seven
o'clock
in
the
morning
when
Cyrus
Harding
,
Herbert
,
Pencroft
,
Gideon
Spilett
,
and
Neb
quitted
the
encampment
.
No
one
appeared
to
be
anxious
about
their
situation
.
They
had
faith
in
themselves
,
doubtless
,
but
it
must
be
observed
that
the
basis
of
this
faith
was
not
the
same
with
Harding
as
with
his
companions
.
The
engineer
had
confidence
,
because
he
felt
capable
of
extorting
from
this
wild
country
everything
necessary
for
the
life
of
himself
and
his
companions
;
the
latter
feared
nothing
,
just
because
Cyrus
Harding
was
with
them
.
Pencroft
especially
,
since
the
incident
of
the
relighted
fire
,
would
not
have
despaired
for
an
instant
,
even
if
he
was
on
a
bare
rock
,
if
the
engineer
was
with
him
on
the
rock
.
"
Pshaw
,
"
said
he
,
"
we
left
Richmond
without
permission
from
the
authorities
!
It
will
be
hard
if
we
do
n't
manage
to
get
away
some
day
or
other
from
a
place
where
certainly
no
one
will
detain
us
!
"
Cyrus
Harding
followed
the
same
road
as
the
evening
before
.
They
went
round
the
cone
by
the
plateau
which
formed
the
shoulder
,
to
the
mouth
of
the
enormous
chasm
.
The
weather
was
magnificent
.
The
sun
rose
in
a
pure
sky
and
flooded
with
his
rays
all
the
eastern
side
of
the
mountain
.
The
crater
was
reached
.
It
was
just
what
the
engineer
had
made
it
out
to
be
in
the
dark
;
that
is
to
say
,
a
vast
funnel
which
extended
,
widening
,
to
a
height
of
a
thousand
feet
above
the
plateau
.
Below
the
chasm
,
large
thick
streaks
of
lava
wound
over
the
sides
of
the
mountain
,
and
thus
marked
the
course
of
the
eruptive
matter
to
the
lower
valleys
which
furrowed
the
northern
part
of
the
island
.
The
interior
of
the
crater
,
whose
inclination
did
not
exceed
thirty
five
to
forty
degrees
,
presented
no
difficulties
nor
obstacles
to
the
ascent
.
Traces
of
very
ancient
lava
were
noticed
,
which
probably
had
overflowed
the
summit
of
the
cone
,
before
this
lateral
chasm
had
opened
a
new
way
to
it
.
As
to
the
volcanic
chimney
which
established
a
communication
between
the
subterranean
layers
and
the
crater
,
its
depth
could
not
be
calculated
with
the
eye
,
for
it
was
lost
in
obscurity
.
But
there
was
no
doubt
as
to
the
complete
extinction
of
the
volcano
.
Before
eight
o'clock
Harding
and
his
companions
were
assembled
at
the
summit
of
the
crater
,
on
a
conical
mound
which
swelled
the
northern
edge
.
