Answer:

The theme of this excerpt is the dangerousness of the situation in which Spilett, Pencroff, and Herbert find themselves. This can be determined by the author's use of descriptive language. For example, he says, "To calculate the damage done to the forest by this hurricane would be impossible until the snow had entirely disappeared. The men were in a very uncertain situation for what would be an indefinite period of time. He also says, "There was danger of their falling in themselves," in reference to their traps. Finally, he speaks of claw marks seen in the snow, saying that perhaps these great cats "scented the inhabitants of Granite House." Based on all of these details, it is evident that the three men faced danger all around them.
