What

!

have

you

a

boat

?

"

I

exclaimed

,

in

surprise

.

"

Of

course

;

an

excellent

vessel

,

light

and

insubmersible

,

that

serves

either

as

a

fishing

or

as

a

pleasure

boat

.

"

"

But

then

,

when

you

wish

to

embark

,

you

are

obliged

to

come

to

the

surface

of

the

water

?

Not

at

all

.

This

boat

is

attached

to

the

upper

part

of

the

hull

of

the

Nautilus

,

and

occupies

a

cavity

made

for

it

.

It

is

decked

,

quite

water-tight

,

and

held

together

by

solid

bolts

.

This

ladder

leads

to

a

man-hole

made

in

the

hull

of

the

Nautilus

,

that

corresponds

with

a

similar

hole

made

in

the

side

of

the

boat

.

By

this

double

opening

I

get

into

the

small

vessel

.

They

shut

the

one

belonging

to

the

Nautilus

;

I

shut

the

other

by

means

of

screw

pressure

.

I

undo

the

bolts

,

and

the

little

boat

goes

up

to

the

surface

of

the

sea

with

prodigious

rapidity

.

I

then

open

the

panel

of

the

bridge

,

carefully

shut

till

then

;

I

mast

it

,

hoist

my

sail

,

take

my

oars

,

and

I

'm

off

.

"

"

But

how

do

you

get

back

on

board

?

"

"

I

do

not

come

back

,

M.

Aronnax

;

the

Nautilus

comes

to

me

.

"

"

By

your

orders

?

"

By

my

orders

.

An

electric

thread

connects

us

.

I

telegraph

to

it

,

and

that

is

enough

.

"

"

Really

,

"

I

said

,

astonished

at

these

marvels

,

"

nothing

can

be

more

simple

.

"

After

having

passed

by

the

cage

of

the

staircase

that

led

to

the

platform

,

I

saw

a

cabin

six

feet

long

,

in

which

Conseil

and

Ned

Land

,

enchanted

with

their

repast

,

were

devouring

it

with

avidity

.

Then

a

door

opened

into

a

kitchen

nine

feet

long

,

situated

between

the

large

store-rooms

.

There

electricity

,

better

than

gas

itself

,

did

all

the

cooking

.

The

streams

under

the

furnaces

gave

out

to

the

sponges

of

platina

a

heat

which

was

regularly

kept

up

and

distributed

.

They

also

heated

a

distilling

apparatus

,

which

,

by

evaporation

,

furnished

excellent

drinkable

water

.

Near

this

kitchen

was

a

bathroom

comfortably

furnished

,

with

hot

and

cold

water

taps

.
