 13 1,4|     remarked this. ~"Well, my boy," replied the sailor, "there must

 69 1,9|            he will make us a fire!" replied Gideon Spilett, "only have
 70 1,9|          nothing could be plainer," replied Pencroft. ~"But, whether
 71 1,9|              I cannot say exactly," replied the engineer, "but I presume
 72 1,9|             at the worst at first," replied the engineer, "and reserve
 73 1,9|            ascent of the mountain," replied the engineer. ~"But to-morrow,
 74 1,9|          the ascent?" ~"I hope so," replied the engineer, "provided
 75 1,9|            all the same, Pencroft," replied Harding. ~It was then agreed

111 1,4|               Doubtless, Pencroft," replied the reporter, "but it depends

113 1,4|           you say is true, my boy," replied the sailor. ~Then passing
114 1,4|           splendid idea, Pencroft!" replied Gideon Spilett, laughing, "
115 1,4|                 So would I, truly!" replied the reporter. "Besides,
116 1,4|            that is not-everything!" replied Pencroft, laughing and shrugging
117 1,4|              asked Herbert. ~"Yes," replied the engineer, "but the distance

129 1,6|         from land?" ~"Yes, my boy," replied the engineer. "These pirates
130 1,6|     measures accordingly." ~"Well," replied Pencroft, "we will fortify
131 1,6|             here?" ~"That is true," replied the engineer, "but you forget,
132 1,6|       northwest." ~"Then, captain," replied the sailor, "let us build
133 1,6|               That is true, Cyrus," replied the reporter, "but we have
134 1,6|          some amphibious creature," replied Herbert. ~"An alligator,

136 1,6|           Considerable importance," replied the engineer; "for if it

138 1,7|               No, my dear Spilett," replied the engineer, "and I really
139 1,7|         killed the dugong!" ~"Yes," replied the engineer, who had become

141 1,7|         that we shall make use of!" replied Cyrus. "Come, come!" ~The
142 1,7|          Masons,-no, but chemists," replied the engineer. ~"Yes," added
143 1,7|              Part of it, at least," replied Spilett. ~"Listen to me,
144 1,7|   incredulously. ~"Yes, my friend," replied the engineer, "and this
145 1,7|            dug a hole for the mine, replied the engineer." ~The next
146 1,8|              and the world itself," replied the engineer. "It is only
147 1,8|            not got. ~"Oh, captain," replied the sailor, "with a little
148 1,8|           before us!" ~"Very well," replied the engineer. "But we must
149 1,8|           to let in light and air?" replied Pencroft, who now thought
150 1,8|         Herbert. ~"Nearly a third," replied Harding, "for we have descended
151 1,8|       Pencroft. ~"Let us join him," replied Harding. ~The descent was
152 1,8|              cried Herbert. ~"Yes," replied Pencroft, "and our brave
153 1,8|             engineer. ~"Of course," replied Pencroft, "and we must take
154 1,8|         occupied by some creature," replied Gideon Spilett, whose curiosity
155 1,8|          off through this opening," replied the engineer, "and has left
156 1,8|       captain, let us set to work!" replied Pencroft. "I have my pickaxe,
157 1,8|           shall I strike?" ~"Here," replied the engineer, showing the
158 1,8|          Herbert. ~"Granite House," replied Harding; a name which his
159 1,8|           soon go out." ~"Forward!" replied Cyrus Harding. ~The little
160 1,9|        Granite House. ~"My friend," replied Harding, "if it is easy

166 1,0|               We shall prove that," replied Pencroft. "But I don't want
167 1,0|                 Nothing is easier," replied Harding. ~"To talk about?"
168 1,0|             will make bread of it," replied Cyrus Harding. ~"Bread,
169 1,0|               Bread, cakes, tarts!" replied the sailor. "Come, the bread
170 1,0|        produce?" ~"One, I suppose!" replied the sailor, surprised at
171 1,0|          grains would make?" ~"No," replied the sailor; "but what I
172 1,0|           years?" ~"In four years," replied Cyrus Harding, "and even
173 1,0|           no, we shan't forget it," replied Pencroft; "and if ever I
174 1,0|             must plant this grain," replied Herbert. ~"Yes," added Gideon
175 1,0|            sailor. ~"It will grow," replied Cyrus Harding. ~This was
176 1,1|             a bad day, but Pencroft replied that naturally the next

186 1,1|            Nature has time for it," replied the engineer. ~"But what
187 1,1|      Nothing uselessly, certainly," replied the engineer, "but this
188 1,1|           future. ~"My dear Cyrus," replied Spilett, "these theories
189 1,1|            by your insects?" ~"No," replied Harding; "it is of a purely
190 1,1|          time." ~"In the meantime," replied Gideon Spilett, "let us
191 1,2|            on their backs." ~"But," replied Neb, laughing, "perhaps
192 1,2|           Neb, we would make them," replied Pencroft, in quite an authoritative
193 1,2|         that, Pencroft." ~"My boy," replied the sailor, bending over

199 1,2|             I shall be very happy," replied the reporter; "but what
200 1,2|            at suckling-pig?' ~"No," replied Gideon Spilett, without
201 1,2|          such game!" ~"Well, well," replied the reporter, "man is never

217 2,1|           then?'' ~"It appears so," replied Herbert, who could not understand
