They had both been allowed to move freely within the city, yet to leave it was impossible as it was vigilantly controlled. Nab did manage to get in, though. Nab was the black servant of Cyrus Smith, and he loved his Master so much that, on hearing that he had been taken prisoner, went to Richmond without hesitation.

They agreed to meet that night in the square. Cyrus would bring with him his servant, his dog, Top, and the journalist, Gideon. It was a dark, cloudy night, and the hurricane was getting worse, but they did not hesitate to get aboard the balloon and take off. For five days, the clouds prevented them from knowing where they were, and it was when the sky cleared that they saw that they were flying above the sea.

The balloon remained, inflated, in the main square, and meanwhile the hurricane grew stronger. On the 20th, a sailor called Pencroft stopped Cyrus Smith in the street and suggested to him that they might escape from the city in the balloon, given that Smith was an engineer.

Once they were across, they were on a sandy beach with black rocks. Beyond this was a granite cliff, and in the distance could be seen a snow-capped mountain. Gideon, the journalist, was following in Nab’s footsteps while the others searched for food and shelter. Young Harbert was looking intently at the rocks and called to Pencroft, who came up quickly. «But they are mussels! », he exclaimed. «No, they are lithodomes,» said the boy.

Pencroft fashioned a wooden raft to transport the firewood down- river. Before returning they climbed to the top of the wall of rocks to look out over the coast. They did not find a single trace of Cyrus, yet Harbert was sure that he would still be alive. On the way back they saw some birds, and collected eggs from their nests. Once back at the Chimneys, the name they had given to their shelter, Pencroft got the wood ready for the fire, ~ but he couldn't find any matches his pocket, and Harbert hadn't got any, either.

They searched for a cave, but could only find several rocks leaning up against others. They saw that they could be used as a shelter by stopping up the openings with branches, stones and sand.

What a difference it would have made had the engineer Cyrus _ been with them! He would have ~ put all his knowledge into practice. _ While Gideon stayed behind Watch the fire, Nab went off “to look for his master, Pencroft and Harbert went hunting.

Then Cyrus's dog appeared, but he was alone, so they followed him. In spite of the fierce wind, they walked all night. At dawn they arrived at a beach with rocks on the shore, and Top led them across some dunes. There, in a crevice, they found Nab, kneeling before the body of Cyrus, whom he believed to be dead. The journalist put his ear to Cyrus's chest and said: «Alive, and we shall save him.» They moistened his lips and looked to see if he were wounded, but there was not even a scratch on him. This was very strange, for Cyrus must have struggled against the sea and the rocks in order to get there. shes Gly Late cam oe 25) Bes sels Cols ae 14g Lizad 99 pie, IS coe peel ole ede Op b ble 48 G4 KII bls GS) ey cp mill Lee 95 pA Gy tee Sly le abe OLSUI jaar pe by beg pad dele Bla GAN pale pee LIL, dpiwall sy SLs A Lad By argh phe te Lil et re a 4.

He did not remember anything after that. «The sea would have washed him on to the shore, and he had enough strength to get here,» said Pencroft. They went and checked whether the footprints matched one of Cyrus's shoes, and it did. They made a stretcher out of branches and leaves, and in this way carried Cyrus to the Chimneys. A surprise awaited them: because of the storm, the sea had reached the rocks and had put the fire out. Pencroft tried to light another one by rubbing two sticks together, but without success. As Cyrus had been sleeping when they arrived, they let him rest. bt boty (ULE pla ae me als cuob us| y al dp a eal a Las “ode O43 ish tebe Lat os 5 pLin, for he could not think of anything else. «Should it turn out to be an island, and if it is inhabited, we shall have to make ourselves understood to its dwellers, and if deserted, we shall have to organise things for ourselves.» «We are going hunting right now, but when we come back, Ishall need fire,» Pencroft insisted. The sailor, Harbert and Nab went off to the wood to hunt with Top. The dog caught an enormous rodent, which according to Harbert was called a capybara.

His first question was whether they were on an island or a continent. «We don’t know as yet, « said Pencroft. «Tomorrow we shall go up that mountain and check,» declared Cyrus. «Until then, there is nothing to do.» «Yes there is: fire,» Pencroft remembered.After supper, Cyrus wanted to go up a little further, and Harbert went with him. In the end they got to the top and saw that they were on an extinct volcano. The darkness of the night did not permit them to see the horizon, but then the moon came out from behind the clouds for a moment, and its light was enough for Cyrus to be able to exclaim «An island! » The next morning they all went up to the summit and saw that the sea surrounded them completely. Cyrus supposed that they were in the Pacific, since the wind that had carried the balloon along had been blowing from the north-east.

The rays of the sun, passing through the glass, had burned some dry grass. The next morning, they went up the mountain. The upper part of the mountain was composed of volcanic rock. There, they saw a species of goat with very curly horns. They made camp for the night on a plateau. Pl Cal cans shy. bet eet bly : » ee OL. ete} Ay te. “ee Sl Ses Broly de Ash ols.

The Chimneys were in the east, and between that coast and the mountain was a lake surrounded by trees. The south of the island was very wooded, and the north, very dry. It seemed to be completely uninhabited. «My friends,» said Cyrus, «we shall have to live here; perhaps a long time will go by before we see a boat.» «We should not feel like castaways, for we shall colonise the island,» Said Pencroft. «Let's put some names then.» They called the mountain «Franklin», and the island Blas Wo 3 Oger go) ells Cell La a bt U dake Vb oils Ss Spt Led Bota FO eb el Bail Goer OSs yl VY tle Lily Gat Lee so Ll sy J Ub os HULSE sSieale ~ val di _ 3B, L - hae AO LS Lb Cs, We es one Sas pos Oe LAY cab te wd), J 3 all ial eeand some days afterwards they baked them by the fire. Then, the oven having been constructed, they baked the pots and dishes which they had formed out of the clay. Satisfied with their work, they returned to the Chimneys. It was a starry night and Cyrus took the opportunity to calculate where the island was situated. He fashioned a pair of compasses using two bits of wood, and measured the angle between the sea horizon and the star Alpha. The next day, using a stick, he saw when it was twelve midday on the island, when the shadow of the stick disappeared from 33 lb type etal daa dey coil Hy gS BE ge UN el outy, cA \pxioy cera Ge eg 15 Ils af dy ttle!

The seams of iron and coal were to the north of Mount Franklin and it was for there that they set out on 20 April. They were to live in the same place as they would work, in a hut made of branches. As iron always has some oxide in it, it was necessary to take away the oxygen by burning it with coal. They collected both minerals and piled them up in layers.

As their watches showed 5 o'clock, Washington time, and the sun passes through one degree every four minutes, that is, 15 degrees per hour, then multiplying this by the 5 hours meant that they were 75° to the west of Washington.

They took some of this with a stick, and in this way made a hammer, which they could use to fashion tools, hammering the incandescent mass on an anvil of granite. For utensils, steel, a mixture of iron and coal, was better, and Cyrus managed this by heating the metal with coal dust. The resulting steel could be worked easily with the hammer, and they used it to make nails, picks, spades ...

When they realised, it was fighting with an enormous creature. It was a dugong! Top disappeared beneath the water and then suddenly shot out, up into the air, fell back into the lake and swam rapidly to the shore.

He threw in a branch and followed it to the shore. He put his ear to the ground, and he heard an underground waterfall. «This is where the outflow is. » Cyrus plunged a stick into the water, and found a hole just 30 centimetres below the surface. «lf we lower the level of the water by opening another, bigger outlet on the shore nearest to the coast, this hole will be open to view.» «But the coast is the granite wall!» Le Lees cpyete 5b ols Ehess cole ge LICE OL VS paces ls ales Gat os palb gal 3 a as pba Hay JIE Sipe Gd (el le che ess Gaal Le 5h Me solell 3 Lab poy pl Gosh 30 Gee cle 5 Le hs GT i sloall cand Lae il 2 they saw that the fight was still going on under the water.

The next day, the engineer and the journalist went back to the lake, while the others gathered firewood. Gideon said: «That was very strange yesterday.

When the day for the fonation arrived, they all went to the prearranged spot and made hole in the rocky wall with a k. Following on from the work of the miners, Cyrus placed the nitroglycerin inside the rock. It was necessary to make it explode by means of a blow, and Cyrus's idea /as to suspend a mass of iron rom a branch, tie other branches is so that he could keep away the explosion, and set fire to hest end of the branch. at lr ’.

It was necessary to separate the iron sulphide and transform it into sulphate using heat. The sulphuric acid could then be obtained. Glycerin could be extracted from the fat of the dugong. For this it had to be treated with soda, and this was obtained by burning algae. The mixture of soda and fat also gave them soap.

From the time it took to fall, Cyrus calculated about 30 metres to sea level. «This will be our home, « he said at last. «But there was someone or something here.» 'e that as it may, it has fled.» To get light, they pierced the wall that gave on to the sea with their picks. Cyrus leaned out through the hole they had made and had a splendid view of the beach and of the sea. The light flooded in, illuminating the cave, with a vaulted roof and stalactites; it seemed like a palace to them. It shall be called the Granite Palace, « said Cyrus.

They went to the lake shore where the hole of the outflow was, now open to the skies. They went into the hole with torches; Top went first. The ground beneath them was slippery with the damp, and quite steep. They heard barking, and feared that Top had encountered some animal. They came to an enormous cave, where Top was barking furiously, even though there was nothing there. «We have to find the outflow where the water from the lake went into the sea. Top, look for it.

The hole they had opened in the wall was about 24 metres above the beach, so Cyrus thought they could leave it as the entrance, and use a rope ladder for going up and coming down. They made more holes for windows, and also brick walls. For fresh water, Cyrus channelled the waters of the lake from the outflow.

While eating the resulting roast, Pencroft broke a tooth, and to the astonishment of the others he took from his mouth a lump of lead. «How old might this young boar which we are eating be?» «Three months, « Pencroft replied. «Then that proves that three months ago at the most, someone shot it» said Cyrus. «Shipwrecked sailors during the last storm, or pirates.» This worried them, and they decided to explore the island.

At the end of June, the rains stopped, and there came an intense cold which froze the lake over. They set traps in the wood to catch animals. In August it snowed a lot, and they did not leave the cave. The most restless was Top. His master noticed that he would growl whenever he approached the well, now covered with wooden planks, and Cyrus wondered what might lie in that abyss. At last, spring arrived and they went out to hunt.

And the sailor set to work, along with the engineer. In October they launched the boat giving it the name of Bonadventure. From the boat, Harbert saw something floating in the water and fished it out. It was a bottle; inside it was a message: «Castaway, Tabor Island, 153° west, 37° south.» «lt’'s fortunate that we were passing by here,» said the journalist.

Harbert saw a dark stain on the sand. They went over to that beach and discovered a chest tied to some barrels so that it would float. They thought that people in a shipwrecked boat might have thrown it into the sea with a view to picking it up again when they got to the island, but there was nobody. Inside the chest they found guns, tools, clothes and an atlas. The months went by and they built an stable at the foot of the mountain, in which to keep a herd of the musmon, a kind of goat, which was there. The herd would give wool and milk.

He was __ almost naked and he grunted. _ «Being alone for so long on the island has turned him into a savage,» the journalist observed. They thought that they ought to take him with them. At the beginning, the castaway preferred to eat raw meat, and they had to cut his hair and dress him whilst he slept. He seemed to have lost his memory and his language. Cyrus talked to him and worked at his side, so that he might feel like one more of them. When they set him free in the countryside, he wept, maybe due to sore memory; but he still didn’t speak.

It was only ten kilometres in circumference, and it was very green. They saw no sign of it being inhabited, so they walked all the way round. In the wood they saw trees that had been cut down some time ago and also abandoned crops. Harbert spotted a house among the trees. There was no one there and all the things were covered in dust and mould. They thought that the castaway must have died, and they spent the night there.

Some days later, he offered to live in the stable and look after the animals, and they all agreed. Before going there, the wild man told them that his name was Ayrton, an officer of Captain Grant, and that he had mutinied aboard the ship Britannia. Grant had punished him by abandoning him in Australia. He had then become the chief of a band of fugitive prisoners, and by a series of deceptions had wanted to get hold of the ship Duncan, when its owner Lord Glenarvan arrived in Australia in it in search of the survivors from the wreck of the Britannia, as Captain Grant's ebleedl 35 oly dsl 3 el GI seh Sle J lei gs oe soll desl Ua cot Lyle Uy edy teh Bt ol ee cele Ape aa, ole cule dls calle yo EAS de eel A Ass thowedl Gs dlae 55) Ls (gee go de Ley Geuldll oe te aN 4 ok UNL Jey Lite dltisy teed Ql) OL teler 2) i SYo1 OY cok ple On hearing it was 1866 he exclaimed: «Twelve years!» This made the rest of them think. «| think he must have been abandoned on that island for some crime, and that’s why he doesn't want to talk,» said Pencroft. «lf he did do something, then he has now paid for it,» remarked Cyrus. «We should let him speak.» «The odd thing is that if he went wild so many years ago, he can’t have written the message in the bottle, as that is recent.» The wild man started work in the orchard, but one day he reproached them for bringing him there, and went off into the forest.

They thought that the explosion was through the gunpowder in their store being set alight, and they went down to see what remained. Nab found an iron cylinder.
