"
Never
mind
the
gingerbread
,
"
said
I
;
"
let
us
continue
our
interesting
walk
.
"
At
every
turn
of
the
path
we
were
following
,
the
lake
appeared
in
all
its
length
and
breadth
.
The
lantern
lit
up
the
whole
of
its
peaceable
surface
,
which
knew
neither
ripple
nor
wave
.
The
Nautilus
remained
perfectly
immovable
.
On
the
platform
,
and
on
the
mountain
,
the
ship
's
crew
were
working
like
black
shadows
clearly
carved
against
the
luminous
atmosphere
.
We
were
now
going
round
the
highest
crest
of
the
first
layers
of
rock
which
upheld
the
roof
.
I
then
saw
that
bees
were
not
the
only
representatives
of
the
animal
kingdom
in
the
interior
of
this
volcano
.
Birds
of
prey
hovered
here
and
there
in
the
shadows
,
or
fled
from
their
nests
on
the
top
of
the
rocks
.
There
were
sparrow
hawks
,
with
white
breasts
,
and
kestrels
,
and
down
the
slopes
scampered
,
with
their
long
legs
,
several
fine
fat
bustards
.
I
leave
anyone
to
imagine
the
covetousness
of
the
Canadian
at
the
sight
of
this
savoury
game
,
and
whether
he
did
not
regret
having
no
gun
.
But
he
did
his
best
to
replace
the
lead
by
stones
,
and
,
after
several
fruitless
attempts
,
he
succeeded
in
wounding
a
magnificent
bird
.
To
say
that
he
risked
his
life
twenty
times
before
reaching
it
is
but
the
truth
;
but
he
managed
so
well
that
the
creature
joined
the
honey-cakes
in
his
bag
.
We
were
now
obliged
to
descend
toward
the
shore
,
the
crest
becoming
impracticable
.
Above
us
the
crater
seemed
to
gape
like
the
mouth
of
a
well
.
From
this
place
the
sky
could
be
clearly
seen
,
and
clouds
,
dissipated
by
the
west
wind
,
leaving
behind
them
,
even
on
the
summit
of
the
mountain
,
their
misty
remnants
--
certain
proof
that
they
were
only
moderately
high
,
for
the
volcano
did
not
rise
more
than
eight
hundred
feet
above
the
level
of
the
ocean
.
Half
an
hour
after
the
Canadian
's
last
exploit
we
had
regained
the
inner
shore
.
Here
the
flora
was
represented
by
large
carpets
of
marine
crystal
,
a
little
umbelliferous
plant
very
good
to
pickle
,
which
also
bears
the
name
of
pierce-stone
and
sea-fennel
.
Conseil
gathered
some
bundles
of
it
.
As
to
the
fauna
,
it
might
be
counted
by
thousands
of
crustacea
of
all
sorts
,
lobsters
,
crabs
,
spider-crabs
,
chameleon
shrimps
,
and
a
large
number
of
shells
,
rockfish
,
and
limpets
.
Three-quarters
of
an
hour
later
we
had
finished
our
circuitous
walk
and
were
on
board
.
The
crew
had
just
finished
loading
the
sodium
,
and
the
Nautilus
could
have
left
that
instant
.
But
Captain
Nemo
gave
no
order
.
Did
he
wish
to
wait
until
night
,
and
leave
the
submarine
passage
secretly
?
Perhaps
so
.
Whatever
it
might
be
,
the
next
day
,
the
Nautilus
,
having
left
its
port
,
steered
clear
of
all
land
at
a
few
yards
beneath
the
waves
of
the
Atlantic
.
That
day
the
Nautilus
crossed
a
singular
part
of
the
Atlantic
Ocean
.
No
one
can
be
ignorant
of
the
existence
of
a
current
of
warm
water
known
by
the
name
of
the
Gulf
Stream
.
After
leaving
the
Gulf
of
Florida
,
we
went
in
the
direction
of
Spitzbergen
.
But
before
entering
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
,
about
45
°
of
N.
lat
.
,
this
current
divides
into
two
arms
,
the
principal
one
going
towards
the
coast
of
Ireland
and
Norway
,
whilst
the
second
bends
to
the
south
about
the
height
of
the
Azores
;
then
,
touching
the
African
shore
,
and
describing
a
lengthened
oval
,
returns
to
the
Antilles
.
This
second
arm
--
it
is
rather
a
collar
than
an
arm
--
surrounds
with
its
circles
of
warm
water
that
portion
of
the
cold
,
quiet
,
immovable
ocean
called
the
Sargasso
Sea
,
a
perfect
lake
in
the
open
Atlantic
:
it
takes
no
less
than
three
years
for
the
great
current
to
pass
round
it
.
Such
was
the
region
the
Nautilus
was
now
visiting
,
a
perfect
meadow
,
a
close
carpet
of
seaweed
,
fucus
,
and
tropical
berries
,
so
thick
and
so
compact
that
the
stem
of
a
vessel
could
hardly
tear
its
way
through
it
.
And
Captain
Nemo
,
not
wishing
to
entangle
his
screw
in
this
herbaceous
mass
,
kept
some
yards
beneath
the
surface
of
the
waves
.
The
name
Sargasso
comes
from
the
Spanish
word
"
sargazzo
"
which
signifies
kelp
.
This
kelp
,
or
berry-plant
,
is
the
principal
formation
of
this
immense
bank
.
And
this
is
the
reason
why
these
plants
unite
in
the
peaceful
basin
of
the
Atlantic
.
The
only
explanation
which
can
be
given
,
he
says
,
seems
to
me
to
result
from
the
experience
known
to
all
the
world
.
Place
in
a
vase
some
fragments
of
cork
or
other
floating
body
,
and
give
to
the
water
in
the
vase
a
circular
movement
,
the
scattered
fragments
will
unite
in
a
group
in
the
centre
of
the
liquid
surface
,
that
is
to
say
,
in
the
part
least
agitated
.
In
the
phenomenon
we
are
considering
,
the
Atlantic
is
the
vase
,
the
Gulf
Stream
the
circular
current
,
and
the
Sargasso
Sea
the
central
point
at
which
the
floating
bodies
unite
.
I
share
Maury
's
opinion
,
and
I
was
able
to
study
the
phenomenon
in
the
very
midst
,
where
vessels
rarely
penetrate
.
Above
us
floated
products
of
all
kinds
,
heaped
up
among
these
brownish
plants
;
trunks
of
trees
torn
from
the
Andes
or
the
Rocky
Mountains
,
and
floated
by
the
Amazon
or
the
Mississippi
;
numerous
wrecks
,
remains
of
keels
,
or
ships
'
bottoms
,
side-planks
stove
in
,
and
so
weighted
with
shells
and
barnacles
that
they
could
not
again
rise
to
the
surface
.
And
time
will
one
day
justify
Maury
's
other
opinion
,
that
these
substances
thus
accumulated
for
ages
will
become
petrified
by
the
action
of
the
water
and
will
then
form
inexhaustible
coal-mines
--
a
precious
reserve
prepared
by
far-seeing
Nature
for
the
moment
when
men
shall
have
exhausted
the
mines
of
continents
.
In
the
midst
of
this
inextricable
mass
of
plants
and
sea
weed
,
I
noticed
some
charming
pink
halcyons
and
actiniae
,
with
their
long
tentacles
trailing
after
them
,
and
medusae
,
green
,
red
,
and
blue
.
All
the
day
of
the
22nd
of
February
we
passed
in
the
Sargasso
Sea
,
where
such
fish
as
are
partial
to
marine
plants
find
abundant
nourishment
.
The
next
,
the
ocean
had
returned
to
its
accustomed
aspect
.
From
this
time
for
nineteen
days
,
from
the
23rd
of
February
to
the
12th
of
March
,
the
Nautilus
kept
in
the
middle
of
the
Atlantic
,
carrying
us
at
a
constant
speed
of
a
hundred
leagues
in
twenty-four
hours
.
Captain
Nemo
evidently
intended
accomplishing
his
submarine
programme
,
and
I
imagined
that
he
intended
,
after
doubling
Cape
Horn
,
to
return
to
the
Australian
seas
of
the
Pacific
.
Ned
Land
had
cause
for
fear
.
In
these
large
seas
,
void
of
islands
,
we
could
not
attempt
to
leave
the
boat
.
Nor
had
we
any
means
of
opposing
Captain
Nemo
's
will
.
Our
only
course
was
to
submit
;
but
what
we
could
neither
gain
by
force
nor
cunning
,
I
liked
to
think
might
be
obtained
by
persuasion
.
This
voyage
ended
,
would
he
not
consent
to
restore
our
liberty
,
under
an
oath
never
to
reveal
his
existence
?
--
an
oath
of
honour
which
we
should
have
religiously
kept
.
But
we
must
consider
that
delicate
question
with
the
Captain
.
But
was
I
free
to
claim
this
liberty
?
Had
he
not
himself
said
from
the
beginning
,
in
the
firmest
manner
,
that
the
secret
of
his
life
exacted
from
him
our
lasting
imprisonment
on
board
the
Nautilus
?
And
would
not
my
four
months
'
silence
appear
to
him
a
tacit
acceptance
of
our
situation
?
And
would
not
a
return
to
the
subject
result
in
raising
suspicions
which
might
be
hurtful
to
our
projects
,
if
at
some
future
time
a
favourable
opportunity
offered
to
return
to
them
?
During
the
nineteen
days
mentioned
above
,
no
incident
of
any
kind
happened
to
signalise
our
voyage
.
I
saw
little
of
the
Captain
;
he
was
at
work
.
In
the
library
I
often
found
his
books
left
open
,
especially
those
on
natural
history
.
My
work
on
submarine
depths
,
conned
over
by
him
,
was
covered
with
marginal
notes
,
often
contradicting
my
theories
and
systems
;
but
the
Captain
contented
himself
with
thus
purging
my
work
;
it
was
very
rare
for
him
to
discuss
it
with
me
.
Sometimes
I
heard
the
melancholy
tones
of
his
organ
;
but
only
at
night
,
in
the
midst
of
the
deepest
obscurity
,
when
the
Nautilus
slept
upon
the
deserted
ocean
.
During
this
part
of
our
voyage
we
sailed
whole
days
on
the
surface
of
the
waves
.
The
sea
seemed
abandoned
.
A
few
sailing-vessels
,
on
the
road
to
India
,
were
making
for
the
Cape
of
Good
Hope
.
One
day
we
were
followed
by
the
boats
of
a
whaler
,
who
,
no
doubt
,
took
us
for
some
enormous
whale
of
great
price
;
but
Captain
Nemo
did
not
wish
the
worthy
fellows
to
lose
their
time
and
trouble
,
so
ended
the
chase
by
plunging
under
the
water
.
Our
navigation
continued
until
the
13th
of
March
;
that
day
the
Nautilus
was
employed
in
taking
soundings
,
which
greatly
interested
me
.
We
had
then
made
about
13,000
leagues
since
our
departure
from
the
high
seas
of
the
Pacific
.
The
bearings
gave
us
45
°
37
'
S.
lat
.
,
and
37
°
53
'
W.
long
.
It
was
the
same
water
in
which
Captain
Denham
of
the
Herald
sounded
7,000
fathoms
without
finding
the
bottom
.
There
,
too
,
Lieutenant
Parker
,
of
the
American
frigate
Congress
,
could
not
touch
the
bottom
with
15,140
fathoms
.
Captain
Nemo
intended
seeking
the
bottom
of
the
ocean
by
a
diagonal
sufficiently
lengthened
by
means
of
lateral
planes
placed
at
an
angle
of
45
°
with
the
water-line
of
the
Nautilus
.
Then
the
screw
set
to
work
at
its
maximum
speed
,
its
four
blades
beating
the
waves
with
in
describable
force
.
Under
this
powerful
pressure
,
the
hull
of
the
Nautilus
quivered
like
a
sonorous
chord
and
sank
regularly
under
the
water
.
