 23 1,4|           and if we ever see Captain Harding again, he will know how
 24 1,4|              It was there that Cyrus Harding had disappeared. They looked
 25 1,4|              as energetic as Captain Harding would not let himself be
 26 1,4|           expected ever to see Cyrus Harding again; but wishing to leave
 27 1,5|            they were to find Captain Harding and were to bring him back
 28 1,5|               said Herbert. "Captain Harding or Mr. Spilett will not

 31 1,5|             attempt to recover Cyrus Harding. He and Neb had surveyed
 32 1,5|            unquestioned chief, Cyrus Harding, was, alas! missing, and
 33 1,6|       everything. ~And yet, if Cyrus Harding had been with them, if the

 47 1,8|            It was necessary to carry Harding to the Chimneys, and that

 52 1,8|         other matters. ~"But," asked Harding, in a still feeble voice, "
 53 1,8|              off by the sea?" ~Cyrus Harding considered. He knew very
 54 1,8|       footsteps still remain?" asked Harding. ~"Yes, master, replied
 55 1,8|                Pencroft," said Cyrus Harding, "will you take my shoe
 56 1,8|               It was therefore Cyrus Harding who had left them on the
 57 1,8|              for the rescue of Cyrus Harding, and that Top deserved all
 58 1,8|           they could now remove him, Harding, instead of replying, and
 59 1,8|          with leaves and long grass. Harding was laid on it, and Pencroft,
 60 1,8|            placed on the sand; Cyrus Harding was sleeping profoundly,
 61 1,9|              companions had in Cyrus Harding. The engineer was to them
 62 1,9|           done. ~First of all, Cyrus Harding was carried into the central
 63 1,9|           twentieth time, that Cyrus Harding would not have been troubled
 64 1,9|            dreadfully weak," replied Harding. "Give me something to eat,
 65 1,9|            all that we have, Captain Harding." ~"Thanks, my boy," replied
 66 1,9|             Thanks, my boy," replied Harding; "it will do-for this morning
 67 1,9|            somewhat refreshed, Cyrus Harding crossed his arms, and said,-~"
 68 1,9|          make it, Pencroft," replied Harding. ~"While you were carrying
 69 1,9|           silent. ~Meanwhile Captain Harding had made no reply. He appeared
 70 1,9|             same, Pencroft," replied Harding. ~It was then agreed that
 71 1,9|            not confidence in Captain Harding?" ~"Yes." ~"But you don'
 72 1,0|               sir?" asked Herbert of Harding. ~"No, my boy," replied
 73 1,0|            his opinion that if Cyrus Harding was not a magician, he was
 74 1,0|       employed their day well. Cyrus Harding had almost entirely recovered
 75 1,0|       Therefore it was probable that Harding could easily solve the question
 76 1,0|             be best to do; but Cyrus Harding, who was evidently of a
 77 1,0|           would be enough to sustain Harding and his companions for at
 78 1,0|            and at nine o'clock Cyrus Harding and his companions had reached
 79 1,0|              volcanic ground," Cyrus Harding had said, and his companions
 80 1,0|              comical tone that Cyrus Harding, Gideon Spilett, Herbert,
 81 1,0|              almost night when Cyrus Harding and his companions, much
 82 1,0|             all was finished. ~Cyrus Harding then thought of exploring
 83 1,0|              was not yet deep. Cyrus Harding and the boy walked near

 86 1,0|           complete extinction. Cyrus Harding's attempt would succeed. ~
 87 1,0|             eight o'clock when Cyrus Harding and Herbert set foot on
 88 1,0|              a liquid surface. Cyrus Harding seized the lad's hand, and
 89 1,1|             Half an hour later Cyrus Harding and Herbert had returned
 90 1,1|            in the morning when Cyrus Harding, Herbert, Pencroft, Gideon
 91 1,1|          faith was not the same with Harding as with his companions.
 92 1,1|          nothing, just because Cyrus Harding was with them. Pencroft
 93 1,1|              will detain us!" ~Cyrus Harding followed the same road as
 94 1,1|       volcano. ~Before eight o'clock Harding and his companions were
 95 1,1|            summit of the cone, Cyrus Harding had had a hope of discovering
 96 1,1|            the immense ocean. ~Cyrus Harding reflected a few minutes;
 97 1,1|             is so uneven." ~If Cyrus Harding was not mistaken in his
 98 1,1|             and the east coast Cyrus Harding and his companions were
 99 1,1|            in the west. ~"Yes," said Harding; "and since this stream
100 1,1|            northeastern gulf. ~Cyrus Harding and his companions remained
101 1,1|           archipelagoes. Would Cyrus Harding be able to find out their
102 1,1|          signal for departure, Cyrus Harding said to them in a calm,
103 1,1|           have come here to settle." Harding could not help smiling,
104 1,1|         rather, the names of Captain Harding," said Herbert, "of Mr.
105 1,1|     principal ones," then said Cyrus Harding; "for those of the bays
106 1,1|            applauded him, when Cyrus Harding said simply,-~"Let us give
107 1,2|              northern slopes. ~Cyrus Harding expected to reach, without
108 1,2|              to deal," replied Cyrus Harding. "I trust that there are
109 1,2|            oxygen of the air. ~Cyrus Harding, dipping in his hand, felt
110 1,2|              kangaroos tracks. Cyrus Harding called them back in vain.
111 1,2|           grew much wider, and Cyrus Harding supposed that they would
112 1,2|            will live there!" replied Harding. ~The settlers, wishing
113 1,2|             in this direction, Cyrus Harding had not been able to discover
114 1,2|             bank of the Mercy, Cyrus Harding and his companions arrived
115 1,2|           himself up to sleep, Cyrus Harding drew from his pocket little
116 1,3|            beginning," replied Cyrus Harding. ~And in fact, the settlers
117 1,3|            of the word. The engineer Harding could not have been seconded
118 1,3|             At the beginning," Cyrus Harding had said. Now this beginning
119 1,3|            we have need of," replied Harding. ~"And of what shall we
120 1,3|         sailor. ~"Well?" asked Cyrus Harding. ~"Well! I would soon make
121 1,3|         about on the shore. Suddenly Harding's face became animated. ~"
122 1,3|            one. They set out. ~Cyrus Harding proposed that they should
123 1,3|             on the 2nd of April that Harding had employed himself in
124 1,3|         recognize the species. Cyrus Harding advised them to be very
125 1,3|            Pencroft, guided by Cyrus Harding, brought, on a hurdle made
126 1,3|          material was clay, to which Harding added a little lime and
127 1,3|        pottery. When it suited Cyrus Harding to change them into smiths,
128 1,3|             tobacco?" ~"No," replied Harding, "it is wormwood; Chinese
129 1,3|           finished, before sleeping, Harding and his companions went
130 1,3|            of Mount Franklin. ~Cyrus Harding gazed for some time at this
131 1,3|               That is why," returned Harding, "I am going to try this
132 1,3|              supply the deficiency. ~Harding then entered the Chimneys.
133 1,3|           and that was a difficulty. Harding resolved, in consequence,
134 1,3|           degrees from it, but Cyrus Harding knew this and made allowance
135 1,3|       simplify the operation. ~Cyrus Harding pointed one leg of the compasses
136 1,4|            in different ways. ~Cyrus Harding had provided himself with
137 1,4|           carried a plumb-line which Harding had given him, that is to
138 1,4|          which rose perpendicularly, Harding thrust the pole two feet
139 1,4|         measurements finished, Cyrus Harding and the lad returned to
140 1,4|           333 feet in height. ~Cyrus Harding then took the instrument
141 1,4|          thirty-seven degrees. Cyrus Harding concluded, therefore, that
142 1,4|           detestable; however, Cyrus Harding observed them attentively,
143 1,4|              Herbert. ~"No," replied Harding. "The oyster contains very
144 1,4|              sea. ~From time to time Harding consulted his watch, so
145 1,4|            necessary," replied Cyrus Harding. ~But while these men, who
146 1,4|           was to be made. What Cyrus Harding was to do to ascertain the

148 1,4|           opposite to the sun, Cyrus Harding made the shadow longer,
149 1,4|           moment had come, and Cyrus Harding knelt on the sand, and with
150 1,4|         shortest. Moreover, as Cyrus Harding was working on the 16th
151 1,4|            when it appeared to Cyrus Harding that it was beginning to

153 1,4|      American coast! ~And when Cyrus Harding consulted his memory, he
154 1,5|            two specimens which Cyrus Harding had brought back, one of
155 1,5|         combined with it. ~Now Cyrus Harding wanted iron, and he wished
156 1,5|            other explanation. ~Cyrus Harding, Herbert, Gideon Spilett,
157 1,5|           wet higher than the knee. ~Harding then put his foot on the
158 1,5|               During this time Cyrus Harding, Spilett, and Neb, crawling
159 1,5|        engineer. ~"Capital," replied Harding. "We will make bellows of

167 1,6|                Besides," added Cyrus Harding, who this day was talking
168 1,6|            and spades? Won't Captain Harding be able to make powder to
169 1,6|              day we want it?" ~Cyrus Harding listened to the enthusiastic
170 1,6|         reached to the beach. ~Cyrus Harding thought, not without reason,

174 1,6|          from Mount Frankl in. Cyrus Harding ascertained that the flow
175 1,6|      suddenly silent. ~Neither Cyrus Harding nor his companions had at

177 1,6|            do not think so," replied Harding. "Alligators are only met
178 1,6|           miraculously saved. ~Cyrus Harding and his companions could
179 1,6|         interested in this incident, Harding and his companions returned
180 1,7|            next day, the 7th of May, Harding and Gideon Spilett, leaving
181 1,7|        affair. ~At this moment Cyrus Harding had other thoughts. He was
182 1,7|              fissure in the ground. ~Harding listened; placing his ear
183 1,7|              about it now," repeated Harding. "There is the outlet, and
184 1,7|                 Well," replied Cyrus Harding, "I will blow up the granite,
185 1,7|       companion, whose confidence in Harding was such that he did not
186 1,7|          above their strength? ~When Harding and the reporter entered
187 1,7|             the shore. This was what Harding was going to attempt with
188 1,7|            minutes after them, Cyrus Harding, Herbert, and Gideon Spilett,
189 1,7|        transition soil, and of which Harding had already found a specimen.

192 1,7|            practical man, like Cyrus Harding, would rather try to obtain
193 1,7|              this was not all. Cyrus Harding still needed, in view of
194 1,7|              or of saltpeter. ~Cyrus Harding could have manufactured

196 1,7|         obtain sulphuric acid, Cyrus Harding had only one operation to
197 1,7|            This last operation Cyrus Harding had made alone, in a retired
198 1,7|            without exploding. ~Cyrus Harding could certainly have fabricated
199 1,7|            the explosion. ~But Cyrus Harding knew that nitro-glycerine
200 1,7|             victim to the operation. Harding, therefore, thought of suspending
201 1,7|       already suspended. ~This done, Harding lit the end of the sulphured

203 1,8|           flint and steel, and Cyrus Harding leading, the settlers ventured
204 1,8|            following a winding road, Harding who was walking on before,
205 1,8|             exploration," said Cyrus Harding. "Perhaps lower down, nature
206 1,8|             Nearly a third," replied Harding, "for we have descended
207 1,8|            Let us join him," replied Harding. ~The descent was continued.
208 1,8|      iron-tipped spears," said Cyrus Harding. "Keep on your guard, and
209 1,8|            sailor's ear, who nodded. Harding and his companions rushed
210 1,8|       crevice; and at the same time, Harding, Gideon Spilett, and Herbert,
211 1,8|                  Go, Top, go!" cried Harding. ~The dog, excited by his
212 1,8|               nothing could be seen. Harding took a lighted branch, and
213 1,8|            our dwelling," said Cyrus Harding. ~"But it was occupied by
214 1,8|            bark for nothing!" ~Cyrus Harding looked at his dog, and those
215 1,8|              might be pierced. Cyrus Harding, during the descent, had
216 1,8|       establish an exterior ladder. ~Harding made known his ideas to
217 1,8|            three feet in thickness. ~Harding applied his eye to the aperture,
218 1,8|            friends!" exclaimed Cyrus Harding, "when we have lighted the
219 1,8|              Granite House," replied Harding; a name which his companions
220 1,8|              Before departing, Cyrus Harding leaned once more over the
221 1,8|              Forward!" replied Cyrus Harding. ~The little band left the
222 1,8|          went out in its turn, Cyrus Harding and his companions passed
223 1,9|           for important works. Cyrus Harding's first care was to find
224 1,9|         House. ~"My friend," replied Harding, "if it is easy for us to
225 1,9|       outside ladder," replied Cyrus Harding, "a rope ladder, which,
226 1,9|       replied Pencroft. ~"Yes," said Harding, "for we know only a small
227 1,9|           every contingency." ~Cyrus Harding spoke wisely; and without
228 1,9|          alone, and it is known that Harding was an ingenious man. He
229 1,9|           the plan proposed by Cyrus Harding, the space was to be divided
230 1,9|            Granite House. Till then, Harding and his companions had only
231 1,9|           also very fatiguing. Cyrus Harding, therefore, resolved to
232 1,9|            labor came amiss to Cyrus Harding, who thus set an example
233 1,9|          appeared easy to him; Cyrus Harding helping, everything would
234 1,9|            performed well; and Cyrus Harding became more and more attached
235 1,9| perpendicular height of eighty feet. Harding had been able, fortunately,
236 1,9|          much easier. Besides, Cyrus Harding hoped later to establish
237 1,9|              It appeared simplest to Harding to make it of brick clay;
238 1,9|             cemented together. Cyrus Harding did not yet realize his
