But
the
French
Government
,
fearing
that
Dumont
d’Urville
was
not
acquainted
with
Dillon
's
movements
,
had
sent
the
sloop
Bayonnaise
,
commanded
by
Legoarant
de
Tromelin
,
to
Vanikoro
,
which
had
been
stationed
on
the
west
coast
of
America
.
The
Bayonnaise
cast
her
anchor
before
Vanikoro
some
months
after
the
departure
of
the
Astrolabe
,
but
found
no
new
document
;
but
stated
that
the
savages
had
respected
the
monument
to
La
Perouse
.
That
is
the
substance
of
what
I
told
Captain
Nemo
.
"
So
,
"
he
said
,
"
no
one
knows
now
where
the
third
vessel
perished
that
was
constructed
by
the
castaways
on
the
island
of
Vanikoro
?
"
"
No
one
knows
.
"
Captain
Nemo
said
nothing
,
but
signed
to
me
to
follow
him
into
the
large
saloon
.
The
Nautilus
sank
several
yards
below
the
waves
,
and
the
panels
were
opened
.
I
hastened
to
the
aperture
,
and
under
the
crustations
of
coral
,
covered
with
fungi
,
I
recognised
certain
debris
that
the
drags
had
not
been
able
to
tear
up
--
iron
stirrups
,
anchors
,
cannons
,
bullets
,
capstan
fittings
,
the
stem
of
a
ship
,
all
objects
clearly
proving
the
wreck
of
some
vessel
,
and
now
carpeted
with
living
flowers
.
While
I
was
looking
on
this
desolate
scene
,
Captain
Nemo
said
,
in
a
sad
voice
:
"
Commander
La
Perouse
set
out
7th
December
,
1785
,
with
his
vessels
La
Boussole
and
the
Astrolabe
.
He
first
cast
anchor
at
Botany
Bay
,
visited
the
Friendly
Isles
,
New
Caledonia
,
then
directed
his
course
towards
Santa
Cruz
,
and
put
into
Namouka
,
one
of
the
Hapai
group
.
Then
his
vessels
struck
on
the
unknown
reefs
of
Vanikoro
.
The
Boussole
,
which
went
first
,
ran
aground
on
the
southerly
coast
.
The
Astrolabe
went
to
its
help
,
and
ran
aground
too
.
The
first
vessel
was
destroyed
almost
immediately
.
The
second
,
stranded
under
the
wind
,
resisted
some
days
.
The
natives
made
the
castaways
welcome
.
They
installed
themselves
in
the
island
,
and
constructed
a
smaller
boat
with
the
debris
of
the
two
large
ones
.
Some
sailors
stayed
willingly
at
Vanikoro
;
the
others
,
weak
and
ill
,
set
out
with
La
Perouse
.
They
directed
their
course
towards
the
Solomon
Islands
,
and
there
perished
,
with
everything
,
on
the
westerly
coast
of
the
chief
island
of
the
group
,
between
Capes
Deception
and
Satisfaction
.
"
"
How
do
you
know
that
?
"
"
By
this
,
that
I
found
on
the
spot
where
was
the
last
wreck
.
"
Captain
Nemo
showed
me
a
tin-plate
box
,
stamped
with
the
French
arms
,
and
corroded
by
the
salt
water
.
He
opened
it
,
and
I
saw
a
bundle
of
papers
,
yellow
but
still
readable
.
