That
same
evening
,
in
21
°
30
'
N.
lat
.
,
the
Nautilus
floated
on
the
surface
of
the
sea
,
approaching
the
Arabian
coast
.
I
saw
Djeddah
,
the
most
important
counting-house
of
Egypt
,
Syria
,
Turkey
,
and
India
.
I
distinguished
clearly
enough
its
buildings
,
the
vessels
anchored
at
the
quays
,
and
those
whose
draught
of
water
obliged
them
to
anchor
in
the
roads
.
The
sun
,
rather
low
on
the
horizon
,
struck
full
on
the
houses
of
the
town
,
bringing
out
their
whiteness
.
Outside
,
some
wooden
cabins
,
and
some
made
of
reeds
,
showed
the
quarter
inhabited
by
the
Bedouins
.
Soon
Djeddah
was
shut
out
from
view
by
the
shadows
of
night
,
and
the
Nautilus
found
herself
under
water
slightly
phosphorescent
.
The
next
day
,
the
10th
of
February
,
we
sighted
several
ships
running
to
windward
.
The
Nautilus
returned
to
its
submarine
navigation
;
but
at
noon
,
when
her
bearings
were
taken
,
the
sea
being
deserted
,
she
rose
again
to
her
waterline
.
Accompanied
by
Ned
and
Conseil
,
I
seated
myself
on
the
platform
.
The
coast
on
the
eastern
side
looked
like
a
mass
faintly
printed
upon
a
damp
fog
.
We
were
leaning
on
the
sides
of
the
pinnace
,
talking
of
one
thing
and
another
,
when
Ned
Land
,
stretching
out
his
hand
towards
a
spot
on
the
sea
,
said
:
"
Do
you
see
anything
there
,
sir
?
"
"
No
,
Ned
,
"
I
replied
;
"
but
I
have
not
your
eyes
,
you
know
.
"
"
Look
well
,
"
said
Ned
,
"
there
,
on
the
starboard
beam
,
about
the
height
of
the
lantern
!
Do
you
not
see
a
mass
which
seems
to
move
?
"
"
Certainly
,
"
said
I
,
after
close
attention
;
"
I
see
something
like
a
long
black
body
on
the
top
of
the
water
.
"
And
certainly
before
long
the
black
object
was
not
more
than
a
mile
from
us
.
It
looked
like
a
great
sandbank
deposited
in
the
open
sea
.
It
was
a
gigantic
dugong
!
Ned
Land
looked
eagerly
.
His
eyes
shone
with
covetousness
at
the
sight
of
the
animal
.
His
hand
seemed
ready
to
harpoon
it
.
One
would
have
thought
he
was
awaiting
the
moment
to
throw
himself
into
the
sea
and
attack
it
in
its
element
.
