In the story "The Hidden Island," the captain's plan has succeeded, though he does not express satisfaction. Despite the captain's serious demeanor, everyone else is joyful as nitroglycerin has effectively drained a pond, lowering the water level significantly. The group returns to the cave equipped with tools like pickaxes and shovels, discussing the potential of using the fluid to blow up the entire island. The engineer explains that while the fluid cannot be used in a gun due to safety risks, it can be applied in other ways if a gun is available. They reach a high area near the pond, where a previously closed-off hole is now accessible, measuring about 20 feet wide but only 2 feet deep, making it difficult to enter. Neb and Pencroff work to excavate it further to create a more suitable entrance. The engineer then moves forward, with the slope of the area being steep. The narrative focuses on their efforts and determination to explore and utilize the island's resources.
