The
Canadian
knitted
his
eyebrows
,
dropped
his
eyelids
,
and
screwed
up
the
corners
of
his
eyes
,
and
for
a
few
moments
fixed
a
piercing
look
upon
the
vessel
.
"
No
,
sir
,
"
he
replied
;
"
I
can
not
tell
what
nation
she
belongs
to
,
for
she
shows
no
colours
.
But
I
can
declare
she
is
a
man-of-war
,
for
a
long
pennant
flutters
from
her
main
mast
.
"
For
a
quarter
of
an
hour
we
watched
the
ship
which
was
steaming
towards
us
.
I
could
not
,
however
,
believe
that
she
could
see
the
Nautilus
from
that
distance
;
and
still
less
that
she
could
know
what
this
submarine
engine
was
.
Soon
the
Canadian
informed
me
that
she
was
a
large
,
armoured
,
two-decker
ram
.
A
thick
black
smoke
was
pouring
from
her
two
funnels
.
Her
closely-furled
sails
were
stopped
to
her
yards
.
She
hoisted
no
flag
at
her
mizzen-peak
.
The
distance
prevented
us
from
distinguishing
the
colours
of
her
pennant
,
which
floated
like
a
thin
ribbon
.
She
advanced
rapidly
.
If
Captain
Nemo
allowed
her
to
approach
,
there
was
a
chance
of
salvation
for
us
.
"
Sir
,
"
said
Ned
Land
,
"
if
that
vessel
passes
within
a
mile
of
us
I
shall
throw
myself
into
the
sea
,
and
I
should
advise
you
to
do
the
same
.
"
I
did
not
reply
to
the
Canadian
's
suggestion
,
but
continued
watching
the
ship
.
Whether
English
,
French
,
American
,
or
Russian
,
she
would
be
sure
to
take
us
in
if
we
could
only
reach
her
.
Presently
a
white
smoke
burst
from
the
fore
part
of
the
vessel
;
some
seconds
after
,
the
water
,
agitated
by
the
fall
of
a
heavy
body
,
splashed
the
stern
of
the
Nautilus
,
and
shortly
afterwards
a
loud
explosion
struck
my
ear
.
"
What
!
they
are
firing
at
us
!
"
I
exclaimed
.
"
So
please
you
,
sir
,
"
said
Ned
,
"
they
have
recognised
the
unicorn
,
and
they
are
firing
at
us
.
"
"
But
,
"
I
exclaimed
,
"
surely
they
can
see
that
there
are
men
in
the
case
?
"
"
It
is
,
perhaps
,
because
of
that
,
"
replied
Ned
Land
,
looking
at
me
.
A
whole
flood
of
light
burst
upon
my
mind
.
Doubtless
they
knew
now
how
to
believe
the
stories
of
the
pretended
monster
.
No
doubt
,
on
board
the
Abraham
Lincoln
,
when
the
Canadian
struck
it
with
the
harpoon
,
Commander
Farragut
had
recognised
in
the
supposed
narwhal
a
submarine
vessel
,
more
dangerous
than
a
supernatural
cetacean
.
Yes
,
it
must
have
been
so
;
and
on
every
sea
they
were
now
seeking
this
engine
of
destruction
.
Terrible
indeed
!
if
,
as
we
supposed
,
Captain
Nemo
employed
the
Nautilus
in
works
of
vengeance
.
On
the
night
when
we
were
imprisoned
in
that
cell
,
in
the
midst
of
the
Indian
Ocean
,
had
he
not
attacked
some
vessel
?
The
man
buried
in
the
coral
cemetery
,
had
he
not
been
a
victim
to
the
shock
caused
by
the
Nautilus
?
