Besides

,

I

added

,

"

to

fire

under

water

in

a

medium

eight

hundred

and

fifty-five

times

denser

than

the

air

,

we

must

conquer

very

considerable

resistance

.

"

"

That

would

be

no

difficulty

.

There

exist

guns

,

according

to

Fulton

,

perfected

in

England

by

Philip

Coles

and

Burley

,

in

France

by

Furcy

,

and

in

Italy

by

Landi

,

which

are

furnished

with

a

peculiar

system

of

closing

,

which

can

fire

under

these

conditions

.

But

I

repeat

,

having

no

powder

,

I

use

air

under

great

pressure

,

which

the

pumps

of

the

Nautilus

furnish

abundantly

.

"

"

But

this

air

must

be

rapidly

used

?

Well

,

have

I

not

my

Rouquayrol

reservoir

,

which

can

furnish

it

at

need

?

A

tap

is

all

that

is

required

.

Besides

M.

Aronnax

,

you

must

see

yourself

that

,

during

our

submarine

hunt

,

we

can

spend

but

little

air

and

but

few

balls

.

"

"

But

it

seems

to

me

that

in

this

twilight

,

and

in

the

midst

of

this

fluid

,

which

is

very

dense

compared

with

the

atmosphere

,

shots

could

not

go

far

,

nor

easily

prove

mortal

.

"

"

Sir

,

on

the

contrary

,

with

this

gun

every

blow

is

mortal

;

and

,

however

lightly

the

animal

is

touched

,

it

falls

as

if

struck

by

a

thunderbolt

.

"

"

Why

?

"

"

Because

the

balls

sent

by

this

gun

are

not

ordinary

balls

,

but

little

cases

of

glass

.

These

glass

cases

are

covered

with

a

case

of

steel

,

and

weighted

with

a

pellet

of

lead

;

they

are

real

Leyden

bottles

,

into

which

the

electricity

is

forced

to

a

very

high

tension

.

With

the

slightest

shock

they

are

discharged

,

and

the

animal

,

however

strong

it

may

be

,

falls

dead

.

I

must

tell

you

that

these

cases

are

size

number

four

,

and

that

the

charge

for

an

ordinary

gun

would

be

ten

.

"

"

I

will

argue

no

longer

,

"

I

replied

,

rising

from

the

table

.

"

I

have

nothing

left

me

but

to

take

my

gun

.

At

all

events

,

I

will

go

where

you

go

.

"

Captain

Nemo

then

led

me

aft

;

and

in

passing

before

Ned

's

and

Conseil

's

cabin

,

I

called

my

two

companions

,

who

followed

promptly

.

We

then

came

to

a

cell

near

the

machinery-room

,

in

which

we

put

on

our

walking-dress

.
