  2 1,2|              carried to Richmond. The engineer's wounds rapidly healed,

  8 1,2|               so clever and daring an engineer as Cyrus Harding knew perfectly
  9 1,2|            proposal being made to the engineer. Thus five determined persons
 10 1,2|               a terrible journey. The engineer only feared one thing; it

 20 1,3|              serve as a signal to the engineer. But they searched in vain
 21 1,3|              for daylight. Either the engineer had been able to save himself,
 22 1,3|           stars shone out, and if the engineer had been there with his

 29 1,7|           dogs. It was the dog of the engineer, Cyrus Harding. But he was
 30 1,7|             faithful dog. But was the engineer living, or had Neb only

 34 1,8|            who only wished to wet the engineer's lips. The cold water produced
 35 1,8|          difficult to explain how the engineer showed no traces of the

 45 1,8|          leaves, they could carry the engineer. ~This occupied them nearly
 46 1,8|            Spilett had not left. ~The engineer was just awaking from the
 47 1,8|         reporter. ~"Yes," replied the engineer. ~"It's my opinion," said
 48 1,8|               my friend," replied the engineer; "wait another hour or two,
 49 1,8|           place!" ~"Indeed," said the engineer, who was recovering gradually,
 50 1,8|                 of course replied the engineer, thoughtfully; "and you
 51 1,8|              Tell me, Neb," added the engineer, turning to his servant, "
 52 1,8|                 The sailor did as the engineer requested. While he and
 53 1,8|            was no doubt about it. The engineer's shoe fitted exactly to
 54 1,8|             Pencroft having asked the engineer if they could now remove

 66 1,9|           high-" ~"Well," replied the engineer, "we will climb to the summit
 67 1,9|             say exactly," replied the engineer, "but I presume it is some
 68 1,9|          worst at first," replied the engineer, "and reserve the best for
 69 1,9|            the mountain," replied the engineer. ~"But to-morrow, captain,"
 70 1,9|               I hope so," replied the engineer, "provided you and Pencroft,

 85 1,1|             the roasted tragopan, the engineer wished to climb again to
 86 1,1|              with his companions. The engineer had confidence, because

 96 1,1|              think, my friends?" ~The engineer's proposal was unanimously

 99 1,1|            points of the compass, the engineer had roughly fixed them by
100 1,1|             to propose to give it the engineer's name and all his companions
101 1,1|              it Lincoln Island!" ~The engineer's proposal was replied to
102 1,2|           watches of the reporter and engineer were therefore consulted
103 1,2|       carefully every day. ~As to the engineer's watch, it, of course,
104 1,2|             passed on the downs. ~The engineer now wound it up, and ascertaining
105 1,2|          thought of simply asking the engineer to manufacture some powder
106 1,2|            bush. The reporter and the engineer went together, Gideon Spilett
107 1,2|              note every incident, the engineer silent for the most part,
108 1,2|                 In a few moments, the engineer, Gideon Spilett, and Herbert

110 1,2|        recognized, was enough for the engineer to guess what the smoke

116 1,3|         higher sense of the word. The engineer Harding could not have been

120 1,3|             more comfortable, for the engineer hoped to discover, or build

122 1,3|              on the 9th of April, the engineer had at his disposal a quantity
123 1,3|         supplied with coal, which the engineer had discovered lying open
124 1,3|               fortunate incident; the engineer discovered a substance which
125 1,3|        replace them. On this day, the engineer, seeing a plant belonging
126 1,3|        especially afterwards when the engineer had impregnated it with
127 1,3|            which some days before the engineer had greeted on the summit
128 1,3|          Spilett. ~"Yes," replied the engineer. "Also, since the night
129 1,3|               the longitude." ~If the engineer had possessed a sextant,
130 1,3|              instrument finished, the engineer returned to the beach, but
131 1,4|              to wash their linen. The engineer intended to manufacture
132 1,4|       yesterday?" said Herbert to the engineer. ~"No, my boy," replied
133 1,4|     everything he could, followed the engineer to the beach. Pencroft,
134 1,4|             so, Herbert," replied the engineer; "and when we have measured
135 1,4|        returned to the Chimneys. ~The engineer then took a flat stone which
136 1,4|              would be determined, The engineer hoped to attempt this the
137 1,4|               sailor to repeat to the engineer,-~"You see, captain, so
138 1,4|             guns." ~"Oh!" replied the engineer, "we might, no doubt, find
139 1,4|             my friends," remarked the engineer, "if Lincoln Island is but
140 1,4|          Herbert. ~"Yes," replied the engineer, "but the distance which
141 1,4|           Nothing, indeed," added the engineer. ~"Well, Cyrus," asked the
142 1,4|          Chile?" ~"Well," replied the engineer, "instead of building a
143 1,4|             of the downs in which the engineer had been found after his
144 1,4| perpendicularly. On the contrary, the engineer inclined it towards the
145 1,4|        Herbert now understood how the engineer was going to proceed to
146 1,5|              reporter. ~Till then the engineer's companions had been brickmakers

148 1,5|               my friend," replied the engineer, "and for that-something
149 1,5|        replied the reporter. ~But the engineer had already left the Chimneys,
150 1,5|       appeared. Pencroft shouted. The engineer and his two companions threw
151 1,5|         sailor, advancing towards the engineer. ~"Capital," replied Harding. "
152 1,5|         treatment of the ore that the engineer wished to manufacture with
153 1,5|           called it in his notes. The engineer had decided, as has been
154 1,5|           mode of reduction which the engineer intended to employ; that
155 1,5|              of the oxygen. ~Thus the engineer proceeded. The bellows of
156 1,6|             is probable," replied the engineer, "although we have not yet
157 1,6|             Yes, my boy," replied the engineer. "These pirates are bold
158 1,6|            That is true," replied the engineer, "but you forget, my friends,
159 1,6|           them at their need. But the engineer did not reply to the sailor

161 1,6|             of Prospect Heights. ~The engineer now proposed to his companions
162 1,6|          which they already knew. The engineer was much surprised at not

164 1,6|              some mystery there. ~The engineer was puzzled. ~"Let us pursue
165 1,6|      considered finished, and yet the engineer had not been able to discover
166 1,6|              importance," replied the engineer; "for if it flows through
167 1,6|           That might be," replied the engineer, "and should it be so we
168 1,6|         element. ~"No, Neb," said the engineer, restraining his courageous
169 1,7|             their store of wood. ~The engineer and the reporter soon reached
170 1,7|            dear Spilett," replied the engineer, "and I really do not know
171 1,7|          dugong!" ~"Yes," replied the engineer, who had become thoughtful; "
172 1,7|           will be remembered that the engineer had not as yet been able
173 1,7|            Well, I can find it!" ~The engineer cut a long branch, stripped
174 1,7|              branch was torn from the engineer's hands and disappeared. ~"
175 1,7|             Cyrus. "Come, come!" ~The engineer hurried away his companion,
176 1,7|              this work upon which the engineer was so bent above their
177 1,7|            but chemists," replied the engineer. ~"Yes," added the reporter, "
178 1,7|             me, my friends," said the engineer. And he made known to them
179 1,7|               or bootmaker, since the engineer wanted chemicals. He would
180 1,7|            confidence had they in the engineer, that they set out directly,
181 1,7|              day, the 8th of May, the engineer began his manipulations.
182 1,7|               etc., but this time the engineer reserved it for another
183 1,7|              this glycerine which the engineer wished to obtain. There
184 1,7|            soda." ~This obtained, the engineer treated the fat with soda,

186 1,7| transformation is performed, etc. The engineer had none of these at his
187 1,7|              after commencing it, the engineer was the possessor of the
188 1,7|               he aimed. ~However, the engineer had nearly accomplished
189 1,7|               my friend," replied the engineer, "and this nitro-glycerine
190 1,7|             for the mine, replied the engineer." ~The next day, the 21st
191 1,7|           their final aim. ~Under the engineer's directions, Pencroft,
192 1,7|               took some time, for the engineer, wishing to produce a great
193 1,7|              being then arranged, the engineer, after having sent his companions
194 1,8|              these words,-~"Come, our engineer gets on capitally!" ~The
195 1,8|          could not help saying to the engineer,-~"Don't you think, captain,
196 1,8|            world itself," replied the engineer. "It is only a question
197 1,8|               a suitable height. ~The engineer then approached, and found
198 1,8|               Very well," replied the engineer. "But we must see our way.
199 1,8|          innumerable stalactites. The engineer examined this black granite.
200 1,8|            descent was continued. The engineer carefully observed all the
201 1,8|            reached the sea," said the engineer. ~"Of course," replied Pencroft, "
202 1,8|            the level of the sea. ~The engineer, calculating the time employed
203 1,8|            this opening," replied the engineer, "and has left the place
204 1,8|         strike?" ~"Here," replied the engineer, showing the sturdy sailor
205 1,8|               to him. ~Meanwhile, the engineer was standing motionless,
206 1,8|           want, my friend?" asked the engineer, as if he had returned from
207 1,9|           entirely abandoned, for the engineer intended to make a manufactory
208 1,9|          purpose for them. It was the engineer's intention to divide the
209 1,9|            that, Pencroft?" asked the engineer, looking at the sailor. ~"
210 1,9|          window-frames were made, the engineer meant to close the openings
211 1,9|             very places chosen by the engineer. Then, with the pickaxe
212 1,9|            under the direction of the engineer, who himself handled the
213 1,9|               world. His faith in the engineer was complete; nothing could
214 1,9|            cover Lincoln Island. ~The engineer let Pencroft talk. He did
215 1,9|             and reverent love for the engineer. Pencroft saw the close
216 1,9|       arrangements were finished, the engineer occupied himself in blocking
217 1,9|              of the facade, until the engineer had time to make glass. ~
218 1,0|              wool once collected, the engineer would know how to make it
219 1,0|               Doubtless," replied the engineer, "but some winters in Spain
220 1,0|                   Yes." ~Such was the engineer's project; and it was quite
221 1,0|              grain of corn?" said the engineer quickly. ~"Yes, captain;
222 1,0|               friends," continued the engineer, "such are the arithmetical
223 1,0|          overrun the earth." ~But the engineer had not finished his lecture. ~"
224 1,0|               So, Herbert," added the engineer, "you have made a discovery
225 1,1|            covered it. ~"But," as the engineer justly observed, "that could
226 1,1|             to reach it," replied the engineer, "for the sea is deep, and
227 1,1|             Yes, my boy," replied the engineer, "and you furnish me with
228 1,1|             time for it," replied the engineer. ~"But what would be the
229 1,1|               certainly," replied the engineer, "but this is how the necessity

237 1,2|          himself. ~At all events, the engineer only communicated his impressions
238 1,2|           this, and he would give the engineer no peace till he promised
239 2,1|              trap." ~"Well," said the engineer, "that proves that within
240 2,1|                Pencroft," replied the engineer, "but we cannot wait for

284 2,6|           Very strange!" murmured the engineer, leaping first up the ladder. ~"
285 2,6|          shall soon see," replied the engineer, without stopping however. ~

313 2,1|         precious indeed," replied the engineer; "and it would seem that

329 2,5|            the finest discourse. ~The engineer's first idea, on counting

346 2,5|           must be tried," replied the engineer. ~"Well!" said Pencroft. "
347 2,5|             We will try," replied the engineer. ~This was on the 30th of
348 2,5|            Come, my friend," said the engineer to him. ~The stranger rose
349 2,6|            within himself, but on the engineer's recommendation, they respected

367 2,7|           going to withdraw, when the engineer addressed one more question

376 2,8|          filled with azotic acid. The engineer corked them by means of
377 2,8|           productions required by the engineer. ~Several expeditions were
378 2,8|               at by the hunters. ~The engineer sometimes took part in the
379 2,8|          mouth of the well, which the engineer had before explored without

383 2,9|                Pencroft," replied the engineer, "it will be because we
384 2,9|           sailor then proposed to the engineer that they should continue

404 3,1|          doubt, my boy," answered the engineer smiling, "but it would be

434 3,5|            that is useful?" asked the engineer. ~"It is more than useful,
435 3,5|                Pencroft," replied the engineer. "However, I think that
436 3,5|               so. However," added the engineer, "we will be prudent." The
437 3,5|              we will be prudent." The engineer was right in thinking that
