Just
so
,
"
replied
the
Captain
,
smiling
;
"
and
in
that
respect
moderns
are
not
more
advanced
than
the
ancients
.
It
required
many
ages
to
find
out
the
mechanical
power
of
steam
.
Who
knows
if
,
in
another
hundred
years
,
we
may
not
see
a
second
Nautilus
?
Progress
is
slow
,
M.
Aronnax
.
"
"
It
is
true
,
"
I
answered
;
"
your
boat
is
at
least
a
century
before
its
time
,
perhaps
an
era
.
What
a
misfortune
that
the
secret
of
such
an
invention
should
die
with
its
inventor
!
"
Captain
Nemo
did
not
reply
.
After
some
minutes
'
silence
he
continued
:
"
You
were
speaking
of
the
opinions
of
ancient
historians
upon
the
dangerous
navigation
of
the
Red
Sea
.
"
"
It
is
true
,
"
said
I
;
"
but
were
not
their
fears
exaggerated
?
"
"
Yes
and
no
,
M.
Aronnax
,
"
replied
Captain
Nemo
,
who
seemed
to
know
the
Red
Sea
by
heart
.
"
That
which
is
no
longer
dangerous
for
a
modern
vessel
,
well
rigged
,
strongly
built
,
and
master
of
its
own
course
,
thanks
to
obedient
steam
,
offered
all
sorts
of
perils
to
the
ships
of
the
ancients
.
Picture
to
yourself
those
first
navigators
venturing
in
ships
made
of
planks
sewn
with
the
cords
of
the
palmtree
,
saturated
with
the
grease
of
the
seadog
,
and
covered
with
powdered
resin
!
They
had
not
even
instruments
wherewith
to
take
their
bearings
,
and
they
went
by
guess
amongst
currents
of
which
they
scarcely
knew
anything
.
Under
such
conditions
shipwrecks
were
,
and
must
have
been
,
numerous
.
But
in
our
time
,
steamers
running
between
Suez
and
the
South
Seas
have
nothing
more
to
fear
from
the
fury
of
this
gulf
,
in
spite
of
contrary
trade-winds
.
The
captain
and
passengers
do
not
prepare
for
their
departure
by
offering
propitiatory
sacrifices
;
and
,
on
their
return
,
they
no
longer
go
ornamented
with
wreaths
and
gilt
fillets
to
thank
the
gods
in
the
neighbouring
temple
.
"
"
I
agree
with
you
,
"
said
I
;
"
and
steam
seems
to
have
killed
all
gratitude
in
the
hearts
of
sailors
.
But
,
Captain
,
since
you
seem
to
have
especially
studied
this
sea
,
can
you
tell
me
the
origin
of
its
name
?
"
"
There
exist
several
explanations
on
the
subject
,
M.
Aronnax
.
Would
you
like
to
know
the
opinion
of
a
chronicler
of
the
fourteenth
century
?
"
"
Willingly
