For
half
a
mile
around
the
Nautilus
,
the
waters
seemed
bathed
in
electric
light
.
The
sandy
bottom
was
clean
and
bright
.
Some
of
the
ship
's
crew
in
their
diving-dresses
were
clearing
away
half-rotten
barrels
and
empty
cases
from
the
midst
of
the
blackened
wrecks
.
From
these
cases
and
from
these
barrels
escaped
ingots
of
gold
and
silver
,
cascades
of
piastres
and
jewels
.
The
sand
was
heaped
up
with
them
.
Laden
with
their
precious
booty
,
the
men
returned
to
the
Nautilus
,
disposed
of
their
burden
,
and
went
back
to
this
inexhaustible
fishery
of
gold
and
silver
.
I
understood
now
.
This
was
the
scene
of
the
battle
of
the
22nd
of
October
,
1702
.
Here
on
this
very
spot
the
galleons
laden
for
the
Spanish
Government
had
sunk
.
Here
Captain
Nemo
came
,
according
to
his
wants
,
to
pack
up
those
millions
with
which
he
burdened
the
Nautilus
.
It
was
for
him
and
him
alone
America
had
given
up
her
precious
metals
.
He
was
heir
direct
,
without
anyone
to
share
,
in
those
treasures
torn
from
the
Incas
and
from
the
conquered
of
Ferdinand
Cortez
.
"
Did
you
know
,
sir
,
"
he
asked
,
smiling
,
"
that
the
sea
contained
such
riches
?
"
"
I
knew
,
"
I
answered
,
"
that
they
value
money
held
in
suspension
in
these
waters
at
two
millions
.
"
"
Doubtless
;
but
to
extract
this
money
the
expense
would
be
greater
than
the
profit
.
Here
,
on
the
contrary
,
I
have
but
to
pick
up
what
man
has
lost
--
and
not
only
in
Vigo
Bay
,
but
in
a
thousand
other
ports
where
shipwrecks
have
happened
,
and
which
are
marked
on
my
submarine
map
.
Can
you
understand
now
the
source
of
the
millions
I
am
worth
?
"
"
I
understand
,
Captain
.
But
allow
me
to
tell
you
that
in
exploring
Vigo
Bay
you
have
only
been
beforehand
with
a
rival
society
.
"
"
And
which
?
"
"
A
society
which
has
received
from
the
Spanish
Government
the
privilege
of
seeking
those
buried
galleons
.
The
shareholders
are
led
on
by
the
allurement
of
an
enormous
bounty
,
for
they
value
these
rich
shipwrecks
at
five
hundred
millions
.
