But
,
Ned
,
you
,
a
whaler
by
profession
,
familiarised
with
all
the
great
marine
mammalia
--
you
ought
to
be
the
last
to
doubt
under
such
circumstances
!
"
"
That
is
just
what
deceives
you
,
Professor
,
"
replied
Ned
.
"
As
a
whaler
I
have
followed
many
a
cetacean
,
harpooned
a
great
number
,
and
killed
several
;
but
,
however
strong
or
well-armed
they
may
have
been
,
neither
their
tails
nor
their
weapons
would
have
been
able
even
to
scratch
the
iron
plates
of
a
steamer
.
"
"
But
,
Ned
,
they
tell
of
ships
which
the
teeth
of
the
narwhal
have
pierced
through
and
through
.
"
"
Wooden
ships
--
that
is
possible
,
"
replied
the
Canadian
,
"
but
I
have
never
seen
it
done
;
and
,
until
further
proof
,
I
deny
that
whales
,
cetaceans
,
or
sea-unicorns
could
ever
produce
the
effect
you
describe
.
"
"
Well
,
Ned
,
I
repeat
it
with
a
conviction
resting
on
the
logic
of
facts
.
I
believe
in
the
existence
of
a
mammal
power
fully
organised
,
belonging
to
the
branch
of
vertebrata
,
like
the
whales
,
the
cachalots
,
or
the
dolphins
,
and
furnished
with
a
horn
of
defence
of
great
penetrating
power
.
"
"
Hum
!
"
said
the
harpooner
,
shaking
his
head
with
the
air
of
a
man
who
would
not
be
convinced
.
"
Notice
one
thing
,
my
worthy
Canadian
,
"
I
resumed
.
"
If
such
an
animal
is
in
existence
,
if
it
inhabits
the
depths
of
the
ocean
,
if
it
frequents
the
strata
lying
miles
below
the
surface
of
the
water
,
it
must
necessarily
possess
an
organisation
the
strength
of
which
would
defy
all
comparison
.
"
"
And
why
this
powerful
organisation
?
"
demanded
Ned
.
"
Because
it
requires
incalculable
strength
to
keep
one
's
self
in
these
strata
and
resist
their
pressure
.
Listen
to
me
.
Let
us
admit
that
the
pressure
of
the
atmosphere
is
represented
by
the
weight
of
a
column
of
water
thirty
two
feet
high
.
In
reality
the
column
of
water
would
be
shorter
,
as
we
are
speaking
of
sea
water
,
the
density
of
which
is
greater
than
that
of
fresh
water
.
Very
well
,
when
you
dive
,
Ned
,
as
many
times
32
feet
of
water
as
there
are
above
you
,
so
many
times
does
your
body
bear
a
pressure
equal
to
that
of
the
atmosphere
,
that
is
to
say
,
15
lb
.
for
each
square
inch
of
its
surface
.
It
follows
,
then
,
that
at
320
feet
this
pressure
equals
that
of
10
atmospheres
,
of
100
atmospheres
at
3,200
feet
,
and
of
1,000
atmospheres
at
32,000
feet
,
that
is
,
about
6
miles
;
which
is
equivalent
to
saying
that
if
you
could
attain
this
depth
in
the
ocean
,
each
square
three-eighths
of
an
inch
of
the
surface
of
your
body
would
bear
a
pressure
of
5,600
lb
.
Ah
!
my
brave
Ned
,
do
you
know
how
many
square
inches
you
carry
on
the
surface
of
your
body
?
"
"
I
have
no
idea
,
Mr.
Aronnax
.
