  3 1,4|            therefore we must have shelter, fire, and food. There is wood
  4 1,4|              killed a great number, but to fire a shot a gun was needed,

 12 1,5|                   Herbert, in the event of fire being positively unattainable,
 13 1,5|                   asked. ~"Not one, and no fire in consequence." ~"Ah!"
 14 1,5|                   wood would rapidly catch fire. ~Pencroft then twisted
 15 1,5|             trembles, the match has missed fire; I cannot, I will not!"
 16 1,5|              Prometheus going to steal the fire from heaven could not have
 17 1,5|                   a few seconds too caught fire, and then the moss. ~A minute
 18 1,5|                  great care not to let the fire go out, and always to keep
 19 1,5|               first thought was to use the fire by preparing a more nourishing

 24 1,6|                  trees, nor the ashes of a fire, nor the impression of a

 26 1,7|                  roasting before a blazing fire. ~At seven in the evening
 27 1,7|                   cooked, Pencroft let the fire die away, and only preserved
 28 1,7|                 them, so as to keep in the fire until their return. Then,
 29 1,8|                regretted not having either fire, or the means of procuring
 30 1,8|                  at his companions.... The fire was out; the drowned cinders
 31 1,9|                repeat, that we haven't any fire!" ~"Pooh!" ~"Nor any means
 32 1,9|                    find some way of making fire for us!" ~"With what?" ~"
 33 1,9|                   sorts of ways to procure fire. Neb helped him in this
 34 1,9|           inflammable enough, did not take fire, for the sparks were really
 35 1,9|                     the attempt to procure fire. Gideon Spilett repeated,
 36 1,9|                 will soon go off. You have fire, haven't you?" ~This question
 37 1,9|                 seconds-~"Alas! we have no fire," said Pencroft, "or rather,
 38 1,9|                abortive attempt to procure fire in the savages' way. ~"We
 39 1,9|               replied Pencroft. ~"What?" ~"Fire," said the sailor, who,
 40 1,9|                nothing to be done." ~"Yes, fire!" said the obstinate sailor
 41 1,9|                      But he will make us a fire!" replied Gideon Spilett, "
 42 1,9|                troubled by the question of fire. For a few minutes he remained
 43 1,9|                     on my return, I find a fire at the house, I shall believe
 44 1,9|              master, it won't need a large fire to roast it!" ~"Have patience,"
 45 1,9|                  believe that he will make fire?" ~"I shall believe it when
 46 1,9|              triumph. ~"Give me but a good fire, and this pig shall be gnawed
 47 1,9|                     though if there was no fire it would be a useless task,
 48 1,0|                    were before a crackling fire. The captain and the reporter
 49 1,0|                      cried the reporter. ~"Fire, real fire, which will roast
 50 1,0|                 the reporter. ~"Fire, real fire, which will roast this splendid

 54 1,0|                   not abundant. However, a fire could be made by means of
 55 1,0|                  Neb's breath, a crackling fire showed itself in a few minutes

 61 1,3|                    by smoking them above a fire of green wood, after having
 62 1,3|                  the evening that they set fire to the fagots. No one slept
 63 1,3|                   carefully to keep up the fire. ~The operation lasted forty-eight
 64 1,3|              Chimneys. By the light of the fire he cut two little flat rulers,
 65 1,5|                Supper was prepared, a good fire blazed before the hut, the
 66 1,5|            settlers watched to keep up the fire, in case any wild beasts

 80 2,3|            Pencroft was greatly tempted to fire, but Harding opposed so
 81 2,3|               colonists disembarked, and a fire was soon lighted under a
