Yes

Captain

;

but

we

have

unfortunately

brought

a

troop

of

bipeds

,

whose

vicinity

troubles

me

.

"

"

What

bipeds

?

"

"

Savages

.

Savages

!

"

he

echoed

,

ironically

.

"

So

you

are

astonished

,

Professor

,

at

having

set

foot

on

a

strange

land

and

finding

savages

?

Savages

!

where

are

there

not

any

?

Besides

,

are

they

worse

than

others

,

these

whom

you

call

savages

?

"

"

But

Captain

--

--

"

"

How

many

have

you

counted

?

"

"

A

hundred

at

least

.

M.

Aronnax

,

"

replied

Captain

Nemo

,

placing

his

fingers

on

the

organ

stops

,

"

when

all

the

natives

of

Papua

are

assembled

on

this

shore

,

the

Nautilus

will

have

nothing

to

fear

from

their

attacks

.

"

The

Captain

's

fingers

were

then

running

over

the

keys

of

the

instrument

,

and

I

remarked

that

he

touched

only

the

black

keys

,

which

gave

his

melodies

an

essentially

Scotch

character

.

Soon

he

had

forgotten

my

presence

,

and

had

plunged

into

a

reverie

that

I

did

not

disturb

.

I

went

up

again

on

to

the

platform

:

night

had

already

fallen

;

for

,

in

this

low

latitude

,

the

sun

sets

rapidly

and

without

twilight

.

I

could

only

see

the

island

indistinctly

;

but

the

numerous

fires

,

lighted

on

the

beach

,

showed

that

the

natives

did

not

think

of

leaving

it

.

I

was

alone

for

several

hours

,

sometimes

thinking

of

the

natives

--

but

without

any

dread

of

them

,

for

the

imperturbable

confidence

of

the

Captain

was

catching

--

sometimes

forgetting

them

to

admire

the

splendours

of

the

night

in

the

tropics

.

My

remembrances

went

to

France

in

the

train

of

those

zodiacal

stars

that

would

shine

in

some

hours

'

time

.

The

moon

shone

in

the

midst

of

the

constellations

of

the

zenith

.

The

night

slipped

away

without

any

mischance

,

the

islanders

frightened

no

doubt

at

the

sight

of

a

monster

aground

in

the

bay

.

The

panels

were

open

,

and

would

have

offered

an

easy

access

to

the

interior

of

the

Nautilus

.
