said
he
,
"
or
rather
,
this
smoke
is
produced
by
nature
alone
.
There
is
a
sulphur
spring
there
,
which
will
cure
all
our
sore
throats
.
"
"
Captain
!
"
cried
Pencroft
.
"
What
a
pity
that
I
have
n't
got
a
cold
!
"
The
settlers
then
directed
their
steps
towards
the
place
from
which
the
smoke
escaped
.
They
there
saw
a
sulphur
spring
which
flowed
abundantly
between
the
rocks
,
and
its
waters
discharged
a
strong
sulphuric
acid
odor
,
after
having
absorbed
the
oxygen
of
the
air
.
Cyrus
Harding
,
dipping
in
his
hand
,
felt
the
water
oily
to
the
touch
.
He
tasted
it
and
found
it
rather
sweet
.
As
to
its
temperature
,
that
he
estimated
at
ninety-five
degrees
Fahrenheit
.
Herbert
having
asked
on
what
he
based
this
calculation
,
--
"
Its
quite
simple
,
my
boy
,
"
said
he
,
"
for
,
in
plunging
my
hand
into
the
water
,
I
felt
no
sensation
either
of
heat
or
cold
.
Therefore
it
has
the
same
temperature
as
the
human
body
,
which
is
about
ninety-five
degrees
.
"
The
sulphur
spring
not
being
of
any
actual
use
to
the
settlers
,
they
proceeded
towards
the
thick
border
of
the
forest
,
which
began
some
hundred
paces
off
.
There
,
as
they
had
conjectured
,
the
waters
of
the
stream
flowed
clear
and
limpid
between
high
banks
of
red
earth
,
the
color
of
which
betrayed
the
presence
of
oxide
of
iron
.
From
this
color
,
the
name
of
Red
Creek
was
immediately
given
to
the
watercourse
.
It
was
only
a
large
stream
,
deep
and
clear
,
formed
of
the
mountain
water
,
which
,
half
river
,
half
torrent
,
here
rippling
peacefully
over
the
sand
,
there
falling
against
the
rocks
or
dashing
down
in
a
cascade
,
ran
towards
the
lake
,
over
a
distance
of
a
mile
and
a
half
,
its
breadth
varying
from
thirty
to
forty
feet
.
Its
waters
were
sweet
,
and
it
was
supposed
that
those
of
the
lake
were
so
also
.
A
fortunate
circumstance
,
in
the
event
of
their
finding
on
its
borders
a
more
suitable
dwelling
than
the
Chimneys
.
As
to
the
trees
,
which
some
hundred
feet
downwards
shaded
the
banks
of
the
creek
,
they
belonged
,
for
the
most
part
,
to
the
species
which
abound
in
the
temperate
zone
of
America
and
Tasmania
,
and
no
longer
to
those
coniferae
observed
in
that
portion
of
the
island
already
explored
to
some
miles
from
Prospect
Heights
.
