 73 1,9|          blaze, since my master has said so." ~"We shall see!" ~Meanwhile,

120 1,4|          which you used yesterday?" said Herbert to the engineer. ~"
121 1,4|             a fortunate discovery," said the reporter, "and as it

127 1,4|             was all my idea, that!" said Pencroft, with a satisfied
128 1,5|           itself. ~"Then, captain," said Pencroft, "we are going

134 1,6|             windows to light them!" said Herbert, laughing. ~"And
135 1,6|             An alligator, perhaps," said the reporter. ~"I do not

139 1,7|          Red Creek. ~"Well, Cyrus," said the reporter, "there seems
140 1,7|        subterranean fall. ~"There," said he, rising, "is the discharge
141 1,7|            just finished, captain." said the sailor, laughing, "and
142 1,7|          Listen to me, my friends," said the engineer. And he made
143 1,7|            dancing and deportment," said he to Neb, if that was ever
144 1,7|        going to blow up our rocks?" said Pencroft incredulously. ~"
145 1,8|               Well, my dear Cyrus," said Gideon Spilett, "here is
146 1,8|           on with our exploration," said Cyrus Harding. "Perhaps
147 1,8|             likely he has gone on," said Pencroft. ~"Let us join
148 1,8|            our iron-tipped spears," said Cyrus Harding. "Keep on
149 1,8|          the lake reached the sea," said the engineer. ~"Of course,"

152 1,9|           replied Pencroft. ~"Yes," said Harding, "for we know only
153 1,9|       smiled to hear him speak, and said nothing of the uneasiness
154 1,9|        thing. ~"But," as the sailor said, "they quite took the wind
155 1,9|          the circus. It need not be said that the sailor was proud
156 1,0|        ourselves at Granite House!" said Pencroft. "There are heaps
157 1,0|         justified the making of the said scissors. ~The manufacture

164 1,1|         That is the secret of God," said the engineer. ~"All that
165 1,1|             is well and good," then said Pencroft, who had listened
166 1,2|          foxes and seals. ~"Bears," said he, "are generally very
167 1,2|          good for nothing!" ~"Yes," said Gideon Spilett, "they are
168 1,2|            But these are not pigs," said Herbert to him, "I warn
169 1,2|             icicles. One might have said that the water escaped by

171 1,2|           followed. ~But it must be said, that the one who was most
172 1,2|              which may be doubted," said he, "the island is inhabited
173 1,2|             nor contented." ~"Now," said Pencroft, "I hope that Neb

175 2,1|           it in the trap." ~"Well," said the engineer, "that proves
176 2,1|            That is unquestionable," said Cyrus Harding, "and these
177 2,1|         would be very astonishing," said Herbert. ~"But it would
178 2,1|           its inside!" ~"At least," said Neb seriously, "if Pencroft
179 2,1|           should act with caution," said the reporter. ~"Such is
180 2,1|             must be very watchful," said Herbert. ~"Very watchful

183 2,1|         have an idea, Mr. Spilett," said Herbert. "If I were to climb
184 2,1|         account, shook his head and said nothing. It was very evident
185 2,1|                What a fine animal!" said Neb; "but how are we to

206 2,3|            Good. I must note that," said the reporter. ~"Note it
207 2,3|           In a quarter of an hour," said the sailor, "we shall be

222 2,5|     murmured the engineer. ~"But,-" said Neb. ~Neb had evidently
223 2,5|          his mouth to speak and yet said nothing. ~"What do you want
