505 2,9|             Island." ~"Yes," replied Harding, "it was too late, and we
506 2,9|            is not so," replied Cyrus Harding, "and that Heaven has not
507 2,9|      proposed by Pencroft, and Cyrus Harding fully acquiesced in it,
508 2,9|             of some duration. ~Cyrus Harding informed Ayrton of the projected

514 2,9|               Well, Pencroft," asked Harding, "can you not anchor off
515 2,9|           leave it to you," answered Harding. ~"Ah!" said Pencroft, "

519 2,0|             hand; and here was Cyrus Harding expressly declaring that
520 2,0|          returned, and to urge Cyrus Harding to acquaint their companions
521 2,0|        especially curious," observed Harding, "is that the gulf has been
522 2,0|             unaccountable. ~However, Harding, returning to the fact of
523 2,0|              Prospect Heights, Cyrus Harding began by saying,-~"My friends,
524 2,0|             us continue again," said Harding. "Have you understood, my
525 2,0|           into our hands?" ~As Cyrus Harding thus enumerated, without
526 2,0|              friends," replied Cyrus Harding, "during the night of the
527 2,0|       Granite House," answered Cyrus Harding, "and if a fire appeared

533 2,0|           looked-for spot, and Cyrus Harding, lowering it, pronounced

535 3,1|            the lad. ~"Wait," replied Harding. ~And for a considerable
536 3,1|                 Yes," answered Cyrus Harding; "but now Ayrton is worthy
537 3,1|         without any reply. But Cyrus Harding, after some moments' thought,

540 3,1|           taken,-~"My friends," said Harding, and his voice betrayed
541 3,1|            unworthy to do so! ~Cyrus Harding understood what was passing

547 3,2|      Everything, Pencroft," answered Harding, "and we have no means of
548 3,2|             more perhaps!" ~"Captain Harding," then said Ayrton, advancing
549 3,2|            answered Ayrton. "Captain Harding, I ask this as a favor.
550 3,2|          Alas!" ~"No! no!" exclaimed Harding with animation, "no, Ayrton,
551 3,2|            foot on it; but, as Cyrus Harding had conjectured, finding
552 3,2|         massacre them without mercy. Harding and his companions had,

554 3,2|             Ayrton's devotion, Cyrus Harding would not be surprised,
555 3,2|             and the colonists. Cyrus Harding evidently could not resist
556 3,2|           fight at the side of Cyrus Harding. There was nothing for him
557 3,2|            islet! What were those of Harding, the reporter, Herbert,
558 3,2|             which took possession of Harding and his companions! ~At

561 3,3|             following manner:-~Cyrus Harding and Herbert remained in

565 3,3|              the river, and on Cyrus Harding and Herbert, in ambush among
566 3,3|              an arrow, passed before Harding and Herbert, who, not thinking
567 3,3|              scarcely rejoined Cyrus Harding and Herbert, before the
568 3,3|           she does come there?" said Harding. ~"That's impossible, for
569 3,3|           must wait!" answered Cyrus Harding. ~"But Mr. Spilett and Neb?"
570 3,3|         pirates from landing? ~Cyrus Harding felt this strongly, and
571 3,3|                At that moment, Cyrus Harding, Ayrton, the sailor, and
572 3,3|             that, Pencroft?" replied Harding. "No. We will not separate!" ~
573 3,3|           would be spared, thanks to Harding's precaution of concealing
574 3,3|              frightful cries! ~Cyrus Harding and his companions rushed
575 3,4|            exterminated!" ~And Cyrus Harding, hurrying away the reporter

578 3,4|           anywhere we liked! Captain Harding, Ayrton and I must examine
579 3,4|            safely conveyed on shore, Harding and his companions agreed
580 3,4|            up the vessel!" ~"Captain Harding," said Herbert, "what astonishes
581 3,4|              the occurrence?" ~Cyrus Harding did not answer. ~"At any
582 3,4|              question. I ask Captain Harding if he sees anything supernatural

587 3,4|             soon finished her. Cyrus Harding had intended to blow her
588 3,4|             the lockers of the poop, Harding did not discover any trace
589 3,4|              of the Chimneys. ~Cyrus Harding examined the cylinder attentively,
590 3,4|                 My friends," resumed Harding, "you remember that before
591 3,4|           was not I," answered Cyrus Harding; "but it was there, and
592 3,5|     explosion of this torpedo. Cyrus Harding could not be mistaken, as,
593 3,5|           friends, then," said Cyrus Harding, "we can no longer be in
594 3,5|                 Yes," rejoined Cyrus Harding, "if the intervention of

596 3,5|              the engineer. ~"Captain Harding," replied Ayrton, "I can
597 3,5|              Ayrton," answered Cyrus Harding, "but I should like a more
598 3,5|         Speak, therefore." ~"Captain Harding," replied Ayrton, "I think
599 3,5|           settled, then," said Cyrus Harding. "We will begin our researches
600 3,5|       initial velocity. ~"Now," said Harding to his companions, "the
601 3,5|             stood ready to fire. ~At Harding's signal, he fired. The

603 3,5|            first to reply, and Cyrus Harding regretted that Pencroft

605 3,5|            do as you please, Captain Harding," answered the sailor, who
606 3,6|              feared from them. Cyrus Harding wished to set out without
607 3,6|           natural productions, since Harding proposed to explore those
608 3,6|            As he was about to start, Harding asked him if he would not

610 3,6|            to-morrow," replied Cyrus Harding. "It is possible, indeed,
611 3,6|           day, the 11th of November, Harding again sent the electric

615 3,6|            Let us enter," said Cyrus Harding. ~And the engineer advanced,

618 3,7|       Pencroft. ~"In a moment," said Harding. ~And he ran round the left
619 3,7|               struck to the heart by Harding's dagger, more sure even
620 3,7|             s bed. In a few moments, Harding was by his side. ~On seeing
621 3,7|              shot. Assisted by Cyrus Harding, he proceeded to render
622 3,7|            hit by the bullet. ~Cyrus Harding and Gideon Spilett then
623 3,7|                But the heart?" asked Harding. ~"The heart has not been
624 3,7|             Pencroft," replied Cyrus Harding, "no! He is not dead. His
625 3,7|                Pencroft!" said Cyrus Harding. ~Gideon Spilett had resumed
626 3,7|              close to the bed. Cyrus Harding stood near. Pencroft had
627 3,7|              then explained to Cyrus Harding that he thought he ought
628 3,7|            accumulate in the chest. ~Harding approved entirely, and it
629 3,7|             Gideon Spilett and Cyrus Harding reasoned thus with their

634 3,7|            has been surprised," said Harding, "and as he was a man to
635 3,7|            not come!" returned Cyrus Harding quickly. "He would be murdered
636 3,7|                Top!" exclaimed Cyrus Harding. ~The animal sprang at his
637 3,7|       Granite House!" ~"Quick!" said Harding. "Quick!" ~Spilett rapidly

640 3,7|      fastened to his neck, and Cyrus Harding read these words, traced

650 3,9|            and as for me, if Captain Harding approves, I'm ready to dash
651 3,9|             you, Pencroft," answered Harding, "let us reason coolly.
652 3,9|           leave it together." ~Cyrus Harding's reasoning was unanswerable,
653 3,9|        hesitating. ~"Pencroft," said Harding, taking the sailor's arm, "
654 3,9|             see, Pencroft," observed Harding, "there has been resistance
655 3,9|       occurred which compelled Cyrus Harding and his two friends to yield

661 3,9|             guns ready?" asked Cyrus Harding. ~They were. The engineer

670 3,0|              in speaking thus, Cyrus Harding thought of Herbert, whose

701 3,2|           circle of light, and Cyrus Harding could hear the noise made

704 3,3|             occurred. ~"But, Captain Harding," he added, "since I was
705 3,3|                Ayrton was astounded. Harding and his companions looked

707 3,3|              of the island," replied Harding, "he who brought you here,
708 3,3|            search for him," answered Harding, "but we shall not discover

710 3,3|                 And now," said Cyrus Harding, as he ended his recital, "
711 3,3|           shall stay here," answered Harding. "Provisions are abundant,

719 3,4|      appeared improbable. ~But Cyrus Harding, less confident, advised
720 3,4|              250 to 300 tons?" asked Harding. ~"Seven or eight months
721 3,4|                 Well," replied Cyrus Harding, "that will be exactly the
722 3,4|             previous success. ~Cyrus Harding then busied himself in drawing
