What
a
scene
!
We
were
dumb
;
our
hearts
beat
fast
before
this
shipwreck
,
taken
as
it
were
from
life
and
photographed
in
its
last
moments
.
And
I
saw
already
,
coming
towards
it
with
hungry
eyes
,
enormous
sharks
,
attracted
by
the
human
flesh
.
However
,
the
Nautilus
,
turning
,
went
round
the
submerged
vessel
,
and
in
one
instant
I
read
on
the
stern
--
"
The
Florida
,
Sunderland
.
"
This
terrible
spectacle
was
the
forerunner
of
the
series
of
maritime
catastrophes
that
the
Nautilus
was
destined
to
meet
with
in
its
route
.
As
long
as
it
went
through
more
frequented
waters
,
we
often
saw
the
hulls
of
shipwrecked
vessels
that
were
rotting
in
the
depths
,
and
deeper
down
cannons
,
bullets
,
anchors
,
chains
,
and
a
thousand
other
iron
materials
eaten
up
by
rust
.
However
,
on
the
11th
of
December
we
sighted
the
Pomotou
Islands
,
the
old
"
dangerous
group
"
of
Bougainville
,
that
extend
over
a
space
of
500
leagues
at
E.
S.
E.
to
W.
N.
W.
,
from
the
Island
Ducie
to
that
of
Lazareff
.
This
group
covers
an
area
of
370
square
leagues
,
and
it
is
formed
of
sixty
groups
of
islands
,
among
which
the
Gambier
group
is
remarkable
,
over
which
France
exercises
sway
.
These
are
coral
islands
,
slowly
raised
,
but
continuous
,
created
by
the
daily
work
of
polypi
.
Then
this
new
island
will
be
joined
later
on
to
the
neighboring
groups
,
and
a
fifth
continent
will
stretch
from
New
Zealand
and
New
Caledonia
,
and
from
thence
to
the
Marquesas
.
One
day
,
when
I
was
suggesting
this
theory
to
Captain
Nemo
,
he
replied
coldly
:
"
The
earth
does
not
want
new
continents
,
but
new
men
.
"
On
15th
of
December
,
we
left
to
the
east
the
bewitching
group
of
the
Societies
and
the
graceful
Tahiti
,
queen
of
the
Pacific
.
I
saw
in
the
morning
,
some
miles
to
the
windward
,
the
elevated
summits
of
the
island
.
These
waters
furnished
our
table
with
excellent
fish
,
mackerel
,
bonitos
,
and
some
varieties
of
a
sea-serpent
.
On
the
25th
of
December
the
Nautilus
sailed
into
the
midst
of
the
New
Hebrides
,
discovered
by
Quiros
in
1606
,
and
that
Bougainville
explored
in
1768
,
and
to
which
Cook
gave
its
present
name
in
1773
.
This
group
is
composed
principally
of
nine
large
islands
,
that
form
a
band
of
120
leagues
N.
N.
S.
to
S.
S.
W.
,
between
15
°
and
2
°
S.
lat
.
,
and
164
°
and
168
°
long
.
We
passed
tolerably
near
to
the
Island
of
Aurou
,
that
at
noon
looked
like
a
mass
of
green
woods
,
surmounted
by
a
peak
of
great
height
.
That
day
being
Christmas
Day
,
Ned
Land
seemed
to
regret
sorely
the
non-celebration
of
"
Christmas
,
"
the
family
fete
of
which
Protestants
are
so
fond
.
I
had
not
seen
Captain
Nemo
for
a
week
,
when
,
on
the
morning
of
the
27th
,
he
came
into
the
large
drawing-room
,
always
seeming
as
if
he
had
seen
you
five
minutes
before
.
I
was
busily
tracing
the
route
of
the
Nautilus
on
the
planisphere
.
The
Captain
came
up
to
me
,
put
his
finger
on
one
spot
on
the
chart
,
and
said
this
single
word
.
"
Vanikoro
.
"
The
effect
was
magical
!
It
was
the
name
of
the
islands
on
which
La
Perouse
had
been
lost
!
I
rose
suddenly
.
