They
could
not
help
laughing
at
Master
Pencroft
's
new
classification
.
The
honest
sailor
did
not
hide
his
regret
at
being
reduced
for
dinner
to
the
singing
pheasants
,
but
fortune
once
more
showed
itself
obliging
to
him
.
In
fact
,
Top
,
who
felt
that
his
interest
was
concerned
went
and
ferreted
everywhere
with
an
instinct
doubled
by
a
ferocious
appetite
.
It
was
even
probable
that
if
some
piece
of
game
did
fall
into
his
clutches
,
none
would
be
left
for
the
hunters
,
if
Top
was
hunting
on
his
own
account
;
but
Neb
watched
him
and
he
did
well
.
Towards
three
o'clock
the
dog
disappeared
in
the
brushwood
and
gruntings
showed
that
he
was
engaged
in
a
struggle
with
some
animal
.
Neb
rushed
after
him
,
and
soon
saw
Top
eagerly
devouring
a
quadruped
,
which
ten
seconds
later
would
have
been
past
recognizing
in
Top
's
stomach
.
But
fortunately
the
dog
had
fallen
upon
a
brood
,
and
besides
the
victim
he
was
devouring
,
two
other
rodents
--
the
animals
in
question
belonged
to
that
order
--
lay
strangled
on
the
turf
.
Neb
reappeared
triumphantly
holding
one
of
the
rodents
in
each
hand
.
Their
size
exceeded
that
of
a
rabbit
,
their
hair
was
yellow
,
mingled
with
green
spots
,
and
they
had
the
merest
rudiments
of
tails
.
The
citizens
of
the
Union
were
at
no
loss
for
the
right
name
of
these
rodents
.
They
were
maras
,
a
sort
of
agouti
,
a
little
larger
than
their
congeners
of
tropical
countries
,
regular
American
rabbits
,
with
long
ears
,
jaws
armed
on
each
side
with
five
molars
,
which
distinguish
the
agouti
.
"
Hurrah
!
"
cried
Pencroft
,
"
the
roast
has
arrived
!
and
now
we
can
go
home
.
"
The
walk
,
interrupted
for
an
instant
,
was
resumed
.
The
limpid
waters
of
the
Red
Creek
flowed
under
an
arch
of
casuannas
,
banksias
,
and
gigantic
gum-trees
.
Superb
lilacs
rose
to
a
height
of
twenty
feet
.
Other
arborescent
species
,
unknown
to
the
young
naturalist
,
bent
over
the
stream
,
which
could
be
heard
murmuring
beneath
the
bowers
of
verdure
.
Meanwhile
the
stream
grew
much
wider
,
and
Cyrus
Harding
supposed
that
they
would
soon
reach
its
mouth
.
In
fact
,
on
emerging
from
beneath
a
thick
clump
of
beautiful
trees
,
it
suddenly
appeared
before
their
eyes
.
