"
Sir
,
"
said
Captain
Nemo
,
"
we
will
,
if
you
please
,
take
our
bearings
and
fix
the
starting-point
of
this
voyage
.
It
is
a
quarter
to
twelve
;
I
will
go
up
again
to
the
surface
.
"
The
Captain
pressed
an
electric
clock
three
times
.
The
pumps
began
to
drive
the
water
from
the
tanks
;
the
needle
of
the
manometer
marked
by
a
different
pressure
the
ascent
of
the
Nautilus
,
then
it
stopped
.
"
We
have
arrived
,
"
said
the
Captain
.
I
went
to
the
central
staircase
which
opened
on
to
the
platform
,
clambered
up
the
iron
steps
,
and
found
myself
on
the
upper
part
of
the
Nautilus
.
The
platform
was
only
three
feet
out
of
water
.
The
front
and
back
of
the
Nautilus
was
of
that
spindle-shape
which
caused
it
justly
to
be
compared
to
a
cigar
.
I
noticed
that
its
iron
plates
,
slightly
overlaying
each
other
,
resembled
the
shell
which
clothes
the
bodies
of
our
large
terrestrial
reptiles
.
It
explained
to
me
how
natural
it
was
,
in
spite
of
all
glasses
,
that
this
boat
should
have
been
taken
for
a
marine
animal
.
Toward
the
middle
of
the
platform
the
longboat
,
half
buried
in
the
hull
of
the
vessel
,
formed
a
slight
excrescence
.
Fore
and
aft
rose
two
cages
of
medium
height
with
inclined
sides
,
and
partly
closed
by
thick
lenticular
glasses
;
one
destined
for
the
steersman
who
directed
the
Nautilus
,
the
other
containing
a
brilliant
lantern
to
give
light
on
the
road
.
The
sea
was
beautiful
,
the
sky
pure
.
Scarcely
could
the
long
vehicle
feel
the
broad
undulations
of
the
ocean
.
A
light
breeze
from
the
east
rippled
the
surface
of
the
waters
.
The
horizon
,
free
from
fog
,
made
observation
easy
.
Nothing
was
in
sight
.
Not
a
quicksand
,
not
an
island
.
A
vast
desert
.
Captain
Nemo
,
by
the
help
of
his
sextant
,
took
the
altitude
of
the
sun
,
which
ought
also
to
give
the
latitude
.
He
waited
for
some
moments
till
its
disc
touched
the
horizon
.
Whilst
taking
observations
not
a
muscle
moved
,
the
instrument
could
not
have
been
more
motionless
in
a
hand
of
marble
.
"
Twelve
o’clock
,
sir
,
"
said
he
.
"
When
you
like
--

"
I
cast
a
last
look
upon
the
sea
,
slightly
yellowed
by
the
Japanese
coast
,
and
descended
to
the
saloon
.
