The Mysterious Island
Chapter I
– Are we going up again?
– Not at all; we are going down!
– Mr. Smith[1], we are falling!
– Throw over all the ballast!
– The last sack is empty!
– Does the balloon rise again?
– No!
– I hear the waves, the sea is under us!
– Five hundred feet!
These words rang through the air above the Pacific[2], at 4 o’clock in the afternoon of the 23d of March, 1865.
The hurricane lasted from the 18th to the 26th of March. It covered a space of 1,800 miles, it destroyed cities in America and Europe and Asia. Hundreds of shipwrecks, thousands of people in the sea!
But something was in the sky. A balloon rushed through space with a velocity of ninety miles an hour[3]. Below the balloon, there was a basket with five men.
The storm was terrible. The passengers were unable to determine the course. They did not know where they were. They did not see anything. The thick fog was under the balloon. Around them everything was obscure. The clouds were very dense. No light, no sound.
The balloon rose to a height of 4,500 feet. The passengers discovered that the sea was beneath them. The dangers above were less formidable than below.
The night passed. At dawn, the clouds rose high into the heavens. In a few hours[4], the whirlwind disappeared. The balloon was again sinking slowly.
There was no land, not even an island, beneath them. It was a terrible situation. These men were unfortunate. The gas continued to escape. They fell fast. At 1 o’clock they were 600 feet above the sea. The gas poured out. Soon the voyagers, balloon, and basket will disappear beneath the waves.
These men were strong. They were silent. They were ready to struggle. It was 2 o’clock, and the balloon was only 400 feet above the waves. Then they heard a voice:
– Is everything thrown out?[5]
– No, we have 10,000 francs in gold.
A heavy bag fell into the sea.
– Does the balloon rise?
– A little, but it will soon fall again.
– Now the basket!
The basket fell into the sea. They wanted to lighten the apparatus. The five passengers clambered into the net around the hoop. The balloon went up. But soon it began to descend.
At 4 o’clock, their dog began to bark.
– Top[6] saw something! Land! Land!
They saw a land. But it was very far. Was it an island or a continent? Where were they? How to reach that land? At 4 o’clock the balloon grazed the surface of the sea.
Then the balloon jumped into the air. It rose 1,500 feet, and soon, however, it fell upon the sand. The passengers hastened to the ground. The basket contained five passengers and a dog. Four men were upon the shore. The fifth one was in the water. His friends cried:
– Perhaps he will swim here. Save him! Let us save him!
Chapter II
Who were those men? They were prisoners, and they succeeded to escape. Their voyage lasted five days. How did it start?
In February, 1865, the enemies, the Southerners[7], captured many officers. One of the most famous of them was Cyrus Smith[8], an engineer, and a scientist. He was thin, bony, and lean. He was about forty-five years old, with moustache. His muscles were very firm. He was educated, and practical, his temperament was superb. Cyrus Smith was also very brave.
The Southerners caught another man – Gideon Spilett[9], a well-known reporter. He was energetic, prompt, full of ideas. He was a soldier and an artist. Gideon Spilett was tall. He was forty years old or more. His eyes were clear and lively.
Cyrus Smith had a black servant. Smith freed his slaves, but this servant did not want to leave his master. He was a man of thirty years, vigorous, agile, adroit, intelligent, quick and honest. His name was Neb.
All these people were in Richmond[10], and it was very difficult to escape. The Southerners wanted to pass over the lines of the besiegers in a balloon. So the balloon was ready. The departure of the balloon was on the 18th of March. On the morning of the 18th, there was a great storm. The weather was terrible.
Cyrus Smith met a man whom he did not know. It was Pencroff[11], a sailor. He was about thirty-five years old. He was strong. Pencroff came to Richmond on business. He had with him Herbert Brown[12], a boy. This boy was fifteen years old, he was the son of Pencroff’s captain, and an orphan. Pencroff loved the boy.
So, Pencroff wanted to get out. He addressed Mr. Smith:
– Mr. Smith?
The engineer looked at the man.
– Mr. Smith, do you want to escape?
– How? – answered the engineer, quickly. – Who are you?
Pencroff told him about himself.
– Well, – replied Smith. – And how will you escape?
– By this balloon!
The sailor explained his project, which was very simple. The storm was terrible, it is true; but a skillful engineer, Smith, knew how to manage a balloon. He saw many storms in his life.
Cyrus Smith listened to the sailor and stayed silent. This was the opportunity! The project was very dangerous, but it was real. During the night, they will reach the balloon, and creep into the basket!
– I am not alone, – said Smith.
– How many people more? – demanded the sailor.
– Two; my friend Spilett, and my man Neb.
– Three, – replied Pencroff; – and, with Herbert and myself, five. Can the balloon carry us?
– Yes. We will go! – said the engineer.
– Tonight, at ten o’clock, – replied Smith.
Evening arrived. Fog passed over the earth. The weather was cold. The streets of the city were empty. No one cared to guard the balloon in a weather like this.
At half past 9, Cyrus Smith and his companions came together at the basket. Four of them took their places in the basket, while Pencroff unfastened the bundles of ballast. Then the sailor joined his companions. At that moment, a dog leaped into the basket. It was Top, the dog of the engineer.
Then the storm burst upon them. It was not until five days later that they saw the sea below them.
So of these five men, four found themselves[13], four days later, on a desert coast. And their leader, Cyrus Smith, disappeared.
Chapter III
The engineer’s dog disappeared, too. The faithful animal tried to rescue its master.
It was nearly 6 o’clock. The night was very dark. The men went northward along the shore. Where are they? They walked upon a sandy soil. They were searching all the corners.
After a walk of twenty minutes, the four men were suddenly stopped by a precipice. They saw a sharp point upon which the sea broke.
– We must turn back, – said the sailor.
They cried, but without response. They waited, and tried once more. And again there was no answer. Then they turned back. However, Pencroff observed that the shore was bold there, and the birds were less numerous on this shore. They were walking towards the south. Soon they were on the shore again.
– We are on an island, – exclaimed Pencroff.
The words of the sailor were true. The castaways were upon an island not more than two miles long. It was necessary to wait until the next day to search for the engineer.
Then they searched for wood or dry branches. Sand and stones were all they found. One can understand the grief of Neb and his companions, who loved their brave comrade. The engineer escaped. Did he die? The hours were long and dreadful, the cold was intense. But the castaways did not sleep. They moved back and forth upon that arid island. They listened, they shouted, they tried to find their friend.
Once they heard an echo; and Herbert said:
– There is land to the west.
The sailor nodded. The land must be there!
The night passed. At 5 o’clock in the morning the heavens began to brighten, though the horizon remained obscure. The fog soon rose. At half past 6, the sky was clear. Then the sea appeared. Yes, the land was there! The island and the main land were separated by a channel half a mile wide. Into this current Neb jumped. Pencroff called to him. The reporter prepared to follow, but the sailor ran to him, and exclaimed:
– Do you want to cross this channel?
– Yes, I do, – replied Spilett.
– Well, listen to me. Neb can rescue his master without us. But if we throw ourselves into the channel, this strong current will carry us away. Wait, just wait a little.
Meantime, Neb was swimming against the current. Finally, he crossed the half mile which separated the isle from the mainland.
Neb landed at the base of a high rocky wall, and clambered its side, and then disappeared behind a rock. Neb’s companions ate shellfish, which they found upon the sands. It was a poor meal, but they didn’t have anything else.
The opposite coast formed an immense bay. Towards the north, the bay widened, with a shore more rounded. It was extending from the southwest to the northeast, and ended in a narrow cape. Between these two points, the distance was about eight miles. Half a mile from the shore the island lay upon the sea. Its width was about a quarter of a mile. Before the Island, the shore began with a beach with black rocks. Beyond this rose a perpendicular granite wall, at least 300 feet high and terminated by a ragged edge. This extended for about three miles.
Upon the upper level of the coast nothing was visible. Finally, distant towards the northwest about seven miles, shone a white summit. It was the snowy cap of a mountain.
Was this land an island or a part of a continent? Gideon Spilett, Pencroff, and Herbert looked upon the land.
– Well, – demanded Herbert, – what do you think of it, Pencroff?
– We will soon see, – replied the sailor, – In three hours we can reach that shore, and we will see what we can do to find Mr. Smith.
Pencroff was right. Three hours later, at low tide, Spilett and his two companions waded through the water. Herbert swam like a fish; and all arrived without difficulty at the other shore.
Chapter IV
The reporter walked further along the coast. Herbert wanted to go with him.
– Stay, my boy, – said the sailor. – We must pitch our camp for the night, and try to find something to eat. Our friends will need food when they come back. We are tired, cold, and hungry. We need shelter, fire, and food. We will find wood in the forest, and we can get eggs from the nests. And we must find a house.
– We can look for a cave in these rocks, – said Herbert.
They walked along the base of the rocky wall. Then they turned to the south. Pencroff noticed a narrow inlet in the coast. Now it was important to pitch the camp near the water.
The rock rose 300 feet, smooth and massive. It was a sturdy wall of the hardest granite. About the summit hovered a host of aquatic birds, with long, narrow, pointed beaks.
Herbert noticed some rocks. On them lay hosts of bivalves.
– They are lithodomes[14], – said Herbert.
– Can we eat them? – said Pencroff.
– Certainly.
Pencroff and Herbert made a good meal of them, they tasted like oysters. Now they must find fresh water. Two hundred feet further on Pencroff and Herbert reached the inlet. A little river was flowing through it.
– Here is water, – said Pencroff, – and there is wood. Herbert, now we need the house.
The river water was clear. Pencroff and Herbert went down into sandy corridors.
– This is what we want, – said Pencroff. – These Chimneys will be our house.
Herbert and Pencroff left the Chimneys, and walked up the left bank of the river. Soon they reached the elbow which the river made to the left. From this point they saw a forest.
– Good, – said the sailor, – these trees will help us to make a fire.
It was easy to gather the firewood: many dry branches lay at their feet. But how can they carry them to the Chimneys?
– We have the river, – suggested Herbert.
– Exactly, said Pencroff. – The river will be our road and our carrier, too.
They looked at the ocean. The sea was a watery desert.
– Something tells me, – said Herbert, – that Mr. Smith is a very energetic man. So he saved himself. Don’t you think so, Pencroff?
The sailor shook his head sadly.
– Yes, – said he, – our engineer saved himself.
Pencroff and Herbert walked towards the west. They looked at the snowcapped mountain, which rose six or seven miles away. They saw a forest. Then from the edge of this forest to the coast stretched a plateau.
Chapter V
Pencroff made the real house from the Chimneys. The Chimneys were divided into three or four chambers. They were dry, and they could stand up in them. The floor was covered with sand.
– Perhaps, – said Herbert, – our companions found a better place than ours.
– It is possible, – answered Pencroff, – but don’t stop. We will have two houses!
– Oh, – said Herbert, – will they find Mr. Smith, and bring him back?
– Yes, – murmured Pencroff. – He was a good man.
– Was! – said Herbert. – Do you think we will not see him again?
– Never! – replied the sailor. – But now our friends may return, and they will find a good shelter.
At 6 o’clock, Neb and Gideon Spilett returned. They came back alone. The sailor was right: they did not find the engineer.
The reporter sat upon a rock. He was tired and very hungry. Neb was weeping, he lost all hope.
The reporter told Pencroff and Herbert about their search. Neb and he followed the coast for more than eight miles. The shore was deserted. Not a trace upon the sand, not a footprint. At that moment Neb raised his head, and exclaimed:
– No, he is not dead! It is impossible!
Herbert ran to him and cried:
– Neb, we will find him! But please eat something.
But Neb refused to eat. He did not want to live.
As to Gideon Spilett, he devoured[15] the mollusks. He was exhausted, but calm. Herbert took his hand.
– Mr. Spilett, – said he, – we discovered a shelter. You will be more comfortable there. So let us rest there. Tomorrow we will see.
The reporter rose, and proceeded towards the Chimneys.
Pencroff took the match and made fire. Was Cyrus still alive? If so, where was he?
In a few minutes the food was ready. The sailor invited the reporter to eat.
Then the reporter retired to a dark corner. Herbert fell asleep at once. The sailor passed the night by the fire. Neb wandered upon the sands. He was calling his master.
Chapter VI
The castaways had only the clothes they wore in the balloon. They did not have any guns, not even a pocket knife. They threw everything overboard to lighten the balloon.
Pencroff wanted to find food. They began to prepare an expedition along the coast. Neb did not believe that Smith was dead. In the morning of the 26th of March, at daybreak, Neb started along the coast northward.
For breakfast that morning they had only eggs and lithodomes, with salt. Herbert found it in the cavities of the rocks. Then the reporter stayed to keep up the fire[16], and Herbert and Pencroff went into the forest.
– We will hunt, Herbert, – said the sailor.
At 9 o’clock the breeze blew from the southeast. When Herbert and Pencroff reached the forest, Pencroff broke two thick branches. He made them into cudgels[17]. The sailor observed the region. On the left bank the surface was flat. Sometimes it was moist and swampy. The opposite bank was more undulating. The hill was covered with trees. The descent was very steep. Both forest and shore looked wild. They saw fresh traces of animals.
They did not speak. Birds were singing and flying under the trees; but they were afraid of men. Among fir trees, birds with small bodies and long tails fluttered.
– These are couroucous[18], – said Herbert. – Their meat is delicious. Besides, I think we can easily get at them with our sticks.
When they killed enough birds for dinner, they found a river and followed it downward. At 6 o’clock, Herbert and Pencroff re-entered the Chimneys.
Chapter VII
Gideon Spilett stood motionless upon the shore. He was gazing on the sea. The wind, already strong, was freshening, and the sky had an angry look. Pencroff began to prepare dinner. At 7 o’clock Neb was still absent.
The storm began. Furious wind passed over the coast from the southeast. At 8 o’clock Neb did not return. The birds were all they had for supper. Pencroff and Herbert devoured them. Then each one retired to their corners, and Herbert was soon asleep.
It was about 2 o’clock when Pencroff suddenly woke up. The reporter was shaking him.
– What’s the matter? – Pencroff cried.
– Listen, Pencroff, listen!
– It is the wind, – the sailor said.
– No, – answered Spilett, – listen again! I think I heard…
– What?
– The barking of a dog![19]
– Impossible! – answered the sailor.
– Wait and listen, – said the reporter.
– It is Top! It is Top! – cried Herbert, and they rushed to the entrance of the Chimneys. The darkness was absolute. The sea, the sky, and the earth were black. Then again, in the hush of the storm, they heard the barking of a dog.
It was indeed Top. But he was alone! Neither his master nor Neb accompanied him. The dog came to the Chimneys. Herbert drew the dog towards him.
– Top will guide us to its master! – said Herbert.
The tempest was terrible. It was difficult to follow a straight course. The reporter and the lad walked behind the dog, and the sailor followed after.
Probably, Neb found his master and sent the faithful dog to them. But is the engineer dead?
– Saved! He is saved! Isn’t he, Top? – repeated the boy. And the dog barked.
The wind was dry and cold. They followed Top. At 5 o’clock the sailor and his companions were six miles from the Chimneys. Top ran ahead, returned, and ran again.
Five minutes after the reporter and his companions reached a hollow, before which Top stopped with a loud bark. The men entered the cave. Neb was there, he was kneeling beside a body upon a bed of grass. It was the body of Cyrus Smith.
Chapter VIII
Neb did not move.
– Is he alive? – the sailor cried.
Neb did not answer. Herbert did not move. The reporter knelt down beside the motionless body, and pressed his ear to the chest of the engineer. Gideon Spilett rose up.
– He is alive! – he said.
Pencroff knelt down beside Cyrus Smith; he also detected the heartbeat. Herbert brought water. He found a brook; so the lad soaked his handkerchief in the stream. The drops of fresh water produced an instantaneous effect. A sigh escaped from the breast of Smith.
– We will save him, – said the reporter.
Neb removed the clothing from his master. Neither on his head nor body nor limbs was there a bruise or even a scratch. That was astonishing.
– I thought he was dead, – said Neb. – And I wanted to die near my master.
Then Neb told them everything. Neb followed along the coast to the north, until he reached that part of the beach. There he searched the shore, the rocks, and the sand for any marks. He did not hope to find his master. Then he decided to continue some miles further up the coast.
– I followed the shore two miles further, and yesterday evening, about 5 o’clock, I discovered footprints upon the sand.
– Did they begin at the water? – demanded the reporter.
– No, – answered Neb, – above high-water mark. They went towards the downs. I followed them for a quarter of an hour. Then I heard a dog. It was Top. Top brought me here, to my master.
– So you, Neb, – said the reporter, – did not bring your master to this place?
– No, it was not I, – answered Neb.
It was a real mystery. But they had carry Cyrus Smith to the Chimneys as soon as possible and they had no time to solve the mystery.
Soon the engineer opened his eyes.
– My master! my master! – cried Neb.
The engineer heard him. He recognized Neb and his companions.
– Is it an island or a continent? – he murmured.
– What is the difference? – cried Pencroff, – you are alive! Island or continent? We will see that later.
The engineer closed his eyes. Pencroff and his companions constructed a stretcher[20], which they covered with leaves and grass. It was 10 o’clock when three men returned to Smith and Spilett.
The engineer woke from his sleep. The color came back to his lips. He raised himself slightly.
– Well, – said the sailor, – Mr. Smith, your stretcher is ready, and we will carry you to our house.
– Thanks, my friend, – replied the engineer. – in an hour or two we will go. Did you find me on the beach?
– No, – replied the reporter.
– And it was not you who brought me to this hollow?
– No.
– How far is this place from the reef?
– Half a mile, – replied Pencroff, – and we are very surprised to find you here. Do you remember what happened after you were washed away?
Cyrus Smith remembered little. The wave swept him from the net of the balloon. Then Top sprang to him. Smith found himself in the midst of the tumultuous sea, more than half a mile from shore. He was swimming; but a strong current seized him. It carried him to the north, and soon he sank into the abyss. From that moment he remembered nothing.
– It’s strange, – said the reporter. – Did anyone rescue you from the waves?
– I don’t know.
The rain stopped. At half past 5 the little party reached the Chimneys.
