<p>They were neither professional aeronauts nor amateurs in aerial navigation whom the storm had thrown upon this coast. They were prisoners of war whose audacity had suggested this extraordinary manner of escape. A hundred times they would have perished, a hundred times their torn balloon would have precipitated them into the abyss, had not Providence preserved them for a strange destiny, and on the 20th of March, after having flown from Richmond, besieged by the troops of General Ulysses Grant, they found themselves 7,000 miles from the Virginia capital, the principal stronghold of the Secessionists during that terrible war. Their aerial voyage had lasted five days.</p>

<p><b>Friday</b>, 6 <abbr class="time">a.m.</abbr>⁠—The convicts are on the plateau. <span epub:type="z3998:signature">Neb.</span></p>
<p><b>Friday</b>, 6 <abbr>a.m.</abbr>⁠—The convicts are on the plateau. <span epub:type="z3998:signature">Neb.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>They looked at each other without saying a word, then walked back to the house. What was there to do? The convicts on Prospect Plateau meant disaster, devastation and ruin! Herbert knew at once from their faces that the situation had become grave, and when he saw Jup, he had no more doubt that misfortune was threatening Granite House.</p>
<p><abbr>Mr.</abbr> Smith,” said he, “I want to go. I can bear the journey. I want to start.”</p>
