"
Ah
,
sir
!
I
have
been
looking
for
you
.
Do
you
know
the
history
of
Spain
?
"
Now
,
one
might
know
the
history
of
one
's
own
country
by
heart
;
but
in
the
condition
I
was
at
the
time
,
with
troubled
mind
and
head
quite
lost
,
I
could
not
have
said
a
word
of
it
.
"
Well
,
"
continued
Captain
Nemo
,
"
you
heard
my
question
!
Do
you
know
the
history
of
Spain
?

Very
slightly
,
"
I
answered
.
"
Well
,
here
are
learned
men
having
to
learn
,
"
said
the
Captain
.
"
Come
,
sit
down
,
and
I
will
tell
you
a
curious
episode
in
this
history
.
Sir
,
listen
well
,
"
said
he
;
"
this
history
will
interest
you
on
one
side
,
for
it
will
answer
a
question
which
doubtless
you
have
not
been
able
to
solve
.
"
"
I
listen
,
Captain
,
"
said
I
,
not
knowing
what
my
interlocutor
was
driving
at
,
and
asking
myself
if
this
incident
was
bearing
on
our
projected
flight
.
"
Sir
,
if
you
have
no
objection
,
we
will
go
back
to
1702
.
You
can
not
be
ignorant
that
your
king
,
Louis
XIV
,
thinking
that
the
gesture
of
a
potentate
was
sufficient
to
bring
the
Pyrenees
under
his
yoke
,
had
imposed
the
Duke
of
Anjou
,
his
grandson
,
on
the
Spaniards
.
This
prince
reigned
more
or
less
badly
under
the
name
of
Philip
V
,
and
had
a
strong
party
against
him
abroad
.

Indeed
,
the
preceding
year
,
the
royal
houses
of
Holland
,
Austria
,
and
England
had
concluded
a
treaty
of
alliance
at
the
Hague
,
with
the
intention
of
plucking
the
crown
of
Spain
from
the
head
of
Philip
V
,
and
placing
it
on
that
of
an
archduke
to
whom
they
prematurely
gave
the
title
of
Charles
III
.
"
Spain
must
resist
this
coalition
;
but
she
was
almost
entirely
unprovided
with
either
soldiers
or
sailors
.
However
,
money
would
not
fail
them
,
provided
that
their
galleons
,
laden
with
gold
and
silver
from
America
,
once
entered
their
ports
.
And
about
the
end
of
1702
they
expected
a
rich
convoy
which
France
was
escorting
with
a
fleet
of
twenty-three
vessels
,
commanded
by
Admiral
Chateau-Renaud
,
for
the
ships
of
the
coalition
were
already
beating
the
Atlantic
.
This
convoy
was
to
go
to
Cadiz
,
but
the
Admiral
,
hearing
that
an
English
fleet
was
cruising
in
those
waters
,
resolved
to
make
for
a
French
port
.
"
The
Spanish
commanders
of
the
convoy
objected
to
this
decision
.
They
wanted
to
be
taken
to
a
Spanish
port
,
and
,
if
not
to
Cadiz
,
into
Vigo
Bay
,
situated
on
the
northwest
coast
of
Spain
,
and
which
was
not
blocked
.
