But
this
state
of
things
was
provided
for
.
I
felt
myself
being
pushed
into
a
little
room
contiguous
to
the
wardrobe
room
.
My
companions
followed
,
towed
along
in
the
same
way
.
I
heard
a
water-tight
door
,
furnished
with
stopper
plates
,
close
upon
us
,
and
we
were
wrapped
in
profound
darkness
.
After
some
minutes
,
a
loud
hissing
was
heard
.
I
felt
the
cold
mount
from
my
feet
to
my
chest
.
Evidently
from
some
part
of
the
vessel
they
had
,
by
means
of
a
tap
,
given
entrance
to
the
water
,
which
was
invading
us
,
and
with
which
the
room
was
soon
filled
.
A
second
door
cut
in
the
side
of
the
Nautilus
then
opened
.
We
saw
a
faint
light
.
In
another
instant
our
feet
trod
the
bottom
of
the
sea
.
And
now
,
how
can
I
retrace
the
impression
left
upon
me
by
that
walk
under
the
waters
?
Words
are
impotent
to
relate
such
wonders
!
Captain
Nemo
walked
in
front
,
his
companion
followed
some
steps
behind
.
Conseil
and
I
remained
near
each
other
,
as
if
an
exchange
of
words
had
been
possible
through
our
metallic
cases
.
I
no
longer
felt
the
weight
of
my
clothing
,
or
of
my
shoes
,
of
my
reservoir
of
air
,
or
my
thick
helmet
,
in
the
midst
of
which
my
head
rattled
like
an
almond
in
its
shell
.
The
light
,
which
lit
the
soil
thirty
feet
below
the
surface
of
the
ocean
,
astonished
me
by
its
power
.
The
solar
rays
shone
through
the
watery
mass
easily
,
and
dissipated
all
colour
,
and
I
clearly
distinguished
objects
at
a
distance
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
yards
.
Beyond
that
the
tints
darkened
into
fine
gradations
of
ultramarine
,
and
faded
into
vague
obscurity
.
Truly
this
water
which
surrounded
me
was
but
another
air
denser
than
the
terrestrial
atmosphere
,
but
almost
as
transparent
.
Above
me
was
the
calm
surface
of
the
sea
.
We
were
walking
on
fine
,
even
sand
,
not
wrinkled
,
as
on
a
flat
shore
,
which
retains
the
impression
of
the
billows
.
This
dazzling
carpet
,
really
a
reflector
,
repelled
the
rays
of
the
sun
with
wonderful
intensity
,
which
accounted
for
the
vibration
which
penetrated
every
atom
of
liquid
.
Shall
I
be
believed
when
I
say
that
,
at
the
depth
of
thirty
feet
,
I
could
see
as
if
I
was
in
broad
daylight
?
For
a
quarter
of
an
hour
I
trod
on
this
sand
,
sown
with
the
impalpable
dust
of
shells
.
The
hull
of
the
Nautilus
,
resembling
a
long
shoal
,
disappeared
by
degrees
;
but
its
lantern
,
when
darkness
should
overtake
us
in
the
waters
,
would
help
to
guide
us
on
board
by
its
distinct
rays
.
Soon
forms
of
objects
outlined
in
the
distance
were
discernible
.
I
recognised
magnificent
rocks
,
hung
with
a
tapestry
of
zoophytes
of
the
most
beautiful
kind
,
and
I
was
at
first
struck
by
the
peculiar
effect
of
this
medium
.
It
was
then
ten
in
the
morning
;
the
rays
of
the
sun
struck
the
surface
of
the
waves
at
rather
an
oblique
angle
,
and
at
the
touch
of
their
light
,
decomposed
by
refraction
as
through
a
prism
,
flowers
,
rocks
,
plants
,
shells
,
and
polypi
were
shaded
at
the
edges
by
the
seven
solar
colours
.
It
was
marvellous
,
a
feast
for
the
eyes
,
this
complication
of
coloured
tints
,
a
perfect
kaleidoscope
of
green
,
yellow
,
orange
,
violet
,
indigo
,
and
blue
;
in
one
word
,
the
whole
palette
of
an
enthusiastic
colourist
!
Why
could
I
not
communicate
to
Conseil
the
lively
sensations
which
were
mounting
to
my
brain
,
and
rival
him
in
expressions
of
admiration
?
For
aught
I
knew
,
Captain
Nemo
and
his
companion
might
be
able
to
exchange
thoughts
by
means
of
signs
previously
agreed
upon
.
So
,
for
want
of
better
,
I
talked
to
myself
;
I
declaimed
in
the
copper
box
which
covered
my
head
,
thereby
expending
more
air
in
vain
words
than
was
perhaps
wise
.
Various
kinds
of
isis
,
clusters
of
pure
tuft-coral
,
prickly
fungi
,
and
anemones
formed
a
brilliant
garden
of
flowers
,
decked
with
their
collarettes
of
blue
tentacles
,
sea-stars
studding
the
sandy
bottom
.
It
was
a
real
grief
to
me
to
crush
under
my
feet
the
brilliant
specimens
of
molluscs
which
strewed
the
ground
by
thousands
,
of
hammerheads
,
donaciae
-LRB-
veritable
bounding
shells
-RRB-
,
of
staircases
,
and
red
helmet-shells
,
angel-wings
,
and
many
others
produced
by
this
inexhaustible
ocean
.
But
we
were
bound
to
walk
,
so
we
went
on
,
whilst
above
our
heads
waved
medusae
whose
umbrellas
of
opal
or
rose-pink
,
escalloped
with
a
band
of
blue
,
sheltered
us
from
the
rays
of
the
sun
and
fiery
pelagiae
,
which
,
in
the
darkness
,
would
have
strewn
our
path
with
phosphorescent
light
.
All
these
wonders
I
saw
in
the
space
of
a
quarter
of
a
mile
,
scarcely
stopping
,
and
following
Captain
Nemo
,
who
beckoned
me
on
by
signs
.
Soon
the
nature
of
the
soil
changed
;
to
the
sandy
plain
succeeded
an
extent
of
slimy
mud
which
the
Americans
call
"
ooze
,
"
composed
of
equal
parts
of
silicious
and
calcareous
shells
.
We
then
travelled
over
a
plain
of
seaweed
of
wild
and
luxuriant
vegetation
.
This
sward
was
of
close
texture
,
and
soft
to
the
feet
,
and
rivalled
the
softest
carpet
woven
by
the
hand
of
man
.
But
whilst
verdure
was
spread
at
our
feet
,
it
did
not
abandon
our
heads
.
A
light
network
of
marine
plants
,
of
that
inexhaustible
family
of
seaweeds
of
which
more
than
two
thousand
kinds
are
known
,
grew
on
the
surface
of
the
water
.
