There had been a full moon at the commencement of the month and the heat was excessive. The atmosphere was felt to be full of electricity and a period of some length of tempestuous weather was to be feared. Indeed on the 2nd peals of thunder were heard the wind blew from the east and hail rattled against the facade of Granite House like volleys of grape-shot. The door and windows were immediately closed or everything in the rooms would have been drenched. On seeing these hailstones some of which were the size of a pigeon s egg Pencroft s first thought was that his cornfield was in serious danger. He directly rushed to his field where little green heads were already appearing and by means of a great cloth he managed to protect his crop. This bad weather lasted a week during which time the thunder rolled without cessation in the depths of the sky. The colonists not having any pressing work out of doors profited by the bad weather to work at the interior of Granite House the arrangement of which was becoming more complete from day to day. The engineer made a turning-lathe with which he turned several articles both for the toilet and the kitchen particularly buttons the want of which was greatly felt. A gunrack had been made for the firearms which were kept with extreme care and neither tables nor cupboards were left incomplete. They sawed they planed they filed they turned and during the whole of this bad season nothing was heard but the grinding of tools or the humming of the turning-lathe which responded to the growling of the thunder. Master Jup had not been forgotten and he occupied a room at the back near the storeroom a sort of cabin with a cot always full of good litter which perfectly suited his taste. With good old Jup there is never any quarreling often repeated Pencroft never any improper reply. What a servant Neb what a servant Of course Jup was now well used .
