La isla misteriosa Page #6

... with the cabin in Washington.

Top's on the scent!

l've told Harbert not to go far away.

Who knows. Maybe he was after an animal.

Come on!

l think that he came up here.

Take a look. He was here.

He must be down there.

Careful Pencroff! This steam could be poisonous.

Wait! - But he is right. Harbert could be down there!

- And that's why we wait here.

Maybe we have to help Pencroff.

Carbon monoxide.

Pencroff get out of there!

The steam is highly poisonous!

Harbert!

Pencroff! Get out!

Harbert is not here!

What are we doing here?

Harbert is probably waiting at home for us.

l would really like to believe you.

But Top has never lost a trace.

He has brought us straight here.

Harbert's body must be here!

Maybe it was an animal trace Top was following?

No. Not Top.

What else could it be? - l can't tell you.

Look at that!

The lights are getting more.

You'll see. He's up there sleeping!

lf he was attacked by an animal

we would have found traces of a fight.

l can't explain it.

Or an eagle took him?

Are there answers to our questions?

lt must have something to do with those lights.

That's the riddle we have to solve.

And we will solve it.

Do you think that Harbert is dead?

No. l think we should go back to the cave.

We haven't slept nor eaten for 3 days.

lt has really been 3 days that Harbert disappeared?

l'm going to find him.

l'll find him. Dead or alive.

Even if l have to look under every rock on this island.

lt's mad what you are trying to do.

You've already said that Nab.

Nevertheless l think it's a reasonable possibility.

- l don't blame you for trying to get behind the secret

of the mysterious lights.

All l'm saying is that l think it's much too dangerous.

Yes. But it's the only way.

Hopefully Mr. Spilett

will make you change your mind.

You've promised me not to tell him.

Yes because it is so dangerous.

But you must not keep it to yourself.

Besides the others won't let you go.

That's why l will have to find an excuse.

l'm going to tell them

that l need some time for myself.

Nobody will refuse me that.

Okay but l will come along.

No. You won't.

Excuse me Sir but l will join you.

No you won't.

You know that's impossible for the two of us.

Come on Pencroff. You must eat something.

l've promised his father

to bring Harbert save to San Francisco.

And now he is dead.

We can't even bury him.

But what makes you think that Harbert is dead?

Never mind Mr. Smith. He is gone for over a week.

He must have been wounded or killed far away from

the place where his arrow was.

Don't you try to make me believe in miracles.

l'll look for his body and bury him.

- Pencroff believe me...

- Believe you what?

You don't believe yourself in the things you say.

Otherwise you would have joined

us today looking for him.

lnstead you prefered it to stay here.

l apologize Mr. Smith.

What you are doing here is invaluable to all of us.

Do you really think that Harbert is still alive?

The more time passes by...

But one thing is for sure:

Top has never failed.

Suddenly the trace stopped.

Quiet Top quiet!

Think! Try to remember!

l can't remember anything.

Doesn't this sound familiar?

- l've heard of sailors loosing their memory.

But they have been hit on the head.

We call it amnesia.

But Harbert doesn't have a dent?

Except for this scratch at my hand.

And this cube.

An alloy no doubt.

Top seems to be afraid of it.

Are we ever going to find out from which

mysterious ghost town this cube originates?

There are indian tribes who believe that their

ancestors were beings with wings.

Who came from other worlds and who

who let's say performed strange things with them.

That's nonsense!

That's not as stupid as it sounds Pencroff.

Archeologists have found strange objects during an

excavation in New England.

And there are scientists who believe

that those beings could possibly live in unexplored

areas of our planet.

Maybe on this island?

Good night everybody.

Do you think something like that

could be possible Mr. Smith?

You know...

in our situation

any theses is as good as the other.

What do you want to do with the cube Mr. Smith?

l'll hide it. Otherwise Top won't let us sleep tonight.

What if...

the owner tries to get it back?

l don't understand Sir. Harbert is back. Why do you

still want to carry out your plan?

lt makes sense especially now.

His reappearing is as mysterious as his disappearing.

- But you've said yourself

that the loss of memory could explain a lot.

And you have said that it is nearly impossible that

humans are living on this island.

Yes of course.

But l also know that the presence of humans

would be the simplest explanation for all the

mysterious things.

The only place we don't know so far is the platform.

Please allow me this single time to do what l want.

Without logical and scientifical necessity.

l cannot rest until l know what is going on up there.

Careful Mr. Spilett is coming.

Quick!

Work something Nab! Don'tjust stand there! Hit it!

Did you catch that all by yourself?

You're going to be a chief hunter!

He already is. Didn't Top join you?

Yes but he ran away.

lt looked like he was on a scent.

- So far we didn't come across a beast of prey or

anything else that could harm him.

And he's even better when it comes to snakes.

l've got to take care of this sheep.

Come here!

That's a boy!

What happened to the Nautilus

the ghost of the oceans?

She was buried by a wave during a storm.

The ship was filled with treasures...

Pencroff! - What's the matter?

A bottle post!

Cast away... Tabor island...

Cyrus do you know the position of our island?

Yes approximately.

l have located the position again and again.

That means that the Tabor island is only 50 to 60

miles away.

That's quite a distance to swim.

Our boat is nearly finished.

You've said that the Papuas have

traveled greater distances than that.

Yes. But they are uncivilized.

We could try a trip around the island.

But that's about it.

lf l had real sails we could of course go to Tabor.

lt takes about 10 hours.

- But whoever threw this bottle into the sea could

already be dead.

- The bottle has been in the water

for 3 months at the most.

How do you know?

The shells and the seagrass for example.

They are pretty loose.

When they get bigger they hold on tight and drag

the bottle to the sea floor.

That makes sense. The paper isn't wet either.

lt could be quite possible that he is still alive.

When l come to think of it that a human is at need

not far from here...

Now! Hurry up!

l'm going to work on the stallage.

l'll finish it today.

Call me when the crabs are done!

Pencroff just a second!

My dear Pencroff the dull thoughts which have come

to our minds because of the bottle post

must not make us forget the small happy things in

our little community.

Gentlemen!

Ready? 1. . 2. . 3. .

Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you

happy birthday dear Pencroff happy birthday to you!
