As
long
as
it
sails
horizontally
,
"
muttered
Ned
Land
,
"
I
do
not
mind
;
but
,
if
it
takes
a
fancy
to
dive
,
I
would
not
give
two
straws
for
my
life
.
"
The
Canadian
might
have
said
still
less
.
It
became
really
necessary
to
communicate
with
the
beings
,
whatever
they
were
,
shut
up
inside
the
machine
.
I
searched
all
over
the
outside
for
an
aperture
,
a
panel
,
or
a
manhole
,
to
use
a
technical
expression
;
but
the
lines
of
the
iron
rivets
,
solidly
driven
into
the
joints
of
the
iron
plates
,
were
clear
and
uniform
.
Besides
,
the
moon
disappeared
then
,
and
left
us
in
total
darkness
.
At
last
this
long
night
passed
.
My
indistinct
remembrance
prevents
my
describing
all
the
impressions
it
made
.
I
can
only
recall
one
circumstance
.
During
some
lulls
of
the
wind
and
sea
,
I
fancied
I
heard
several
times
vague
sounds
,
a
sort
of
fugitive
harmony
produced
by
words
of
command
.
What
was
,
then
,
the
mystery
of
this
submarine
craft
,
of
which
the
whole
world
vainly
sought
an
explanation
?
What
kind
of
beings
existed
in
this
strange
boat
?
What
mechanical
agent
caused
its
prodigious
speed
?
Daybreak
appeared
.
The
morning
mists
surrounded
us
,
but
they
soon
cleared
off
.
I
was
about
to
examine
the
hull
,
which
formed
on
deck
a
kind
of
horizontal
platform
,
when
I
felt
it
gradually
sinking
.
"
Oh
!
confound
it
!
"
cried
Ned
Land
,
kicking
the
resounding
plate
.
"
Open
,
you
inhospitable
rascals
!
"
Happily
the
sinking
movement
ceased
.
Suddenly
a
noise
,
like
iron
works
violently
pushed
aside
,
came
from
the
interior
of
the
boat
.
One
iron
plate
was
moved
,
a
man
appeared
,
uttered
an
odd
cry
,
and
disappeared
immediately
.
Some
moments
after
,
eight
strong
men
,
with
masked
faces
,
appeared
noiselessly
,
and
drew
us
down
into
their
formidable
machine
.
This
forcible
abduction
,
so
roughly
carried
out
,
was
accomplished
with
the
rapidity
of
lightning
.
I
shivered
all
over
.
Whom
had
we
to
deal
with
?
No
doubt
some
new
sort
of
pirates
,
who
explored
the
sea
in
their
own
way
.
Hardly
had
the
narrow
panel
closed
upon
me
,
when
I
was
enveloped
in
darkness
.
My
eyes
,
dazzled
with
the
outer
light
,
could
distinguish
nothing
.
I
felt
my
naked
feet
cling
to
the
rungs
of
an
iron
ladder
.
Ned
Land
and
Conseil
,
firmly
seized
,
followed
me
.
At
the
bottom
of
the
ladder
,
a
door
opened
,
and
shut
after
us
immediately
with
a
bang
.
We
were
alone
.
Where
,
I
could
not
say
,
hardly
imagine
.
All
was
black
,
and
such
a
dense
black
that
,
after
some
minutes
,
my
eyes
had
not
been
able
to
discern
even
the
faintest
glimmer
.
