Incomplete
?
"
shrieked
the
valiant
invalid
.
"
Yes
,
my
dear
fellow
!
imagine
our
meeting
some
of
the
inhabitants
up
there
!
Would
you
like
to
give
them
such
a
melancholy
notion
of
what
goes
on
down
here
?
to
teach
them
what
war
is
,
to
inform
them
that
we
employ
our
time
chiefly
in
devouring
each
other
,
in
smashing
arms
and
legs
,
and
that
too
on
a
globe
which
is
capable
of
supporting
a
hundred
billions
of
inhabitants
,
and
which
actually
does
contain
nearly
two
hundred
millions
?
Why
,
my
worthy
friend
,
we
should
have
to
turn
you
out
of
doors
!
"
"
But
still
,
if
you
arrive
there
in
pieces
,
you
will
be
as
incomplete
as
I
am
.
"
"
Unquestionably
,
"
replied
Michel
Ardan
;
"
but
we
shall
not
.
"
In
fact
,
a
preparatory
experiment
,
tried
on
the
18th
of
October
,
had
yielded
the
best
results
and
caused
the
most
well-grounded
hopes
of
success
.
Barbicane
,
desirous
of
obtaining
some
notion
of
the
effect
of
the
shock
at
the
moment
of
the
projectile
's
departure
,
had
procured
a
38-inch
mortar
from
the
arsenal
of
Pensacola
.
He
had
this
placed
on
the
bank
of
Hillisborough
Roads
,
in
order
that
the
shell
might
fall
back
into
the
sea
,
and
the
shock
be
thereby
destroyed
.
His
object
was
to
ascertain
the
extent
of
the
shock
of
departure
,
and
not
that
of
the
return
.
A
hollow
projectile
had
been
prepared
for
this
curious
experiment
.
A
thick
padding
fastened
upon
a
kind
of
elastic
network
,
made
of
the
best
steel
,
lined
the
inside
of
the
walls
.
It
was
a
veritable
nest
most
carefully
wadded
.
"
What
a
pity
I
ca
n't
find
room
in
there
,
"
said
J.
T.
Maston
,
regretting
that
his
height
did
not
allow
of
his
trying
the
adventure
.
Within
this
shell
were
shut
up
a
large
cat
,
and
a
squirrel
belonging
to
J.
T.
Maston
,
and
of
which
he
was
particularly
fond
.
They
were
desirous
,
however
,
of
ascertaining
how
this
little
animal
,
least
of
all
others
subject
to
giddiness
,
would
endure
this
experimental
voyage
.
The
mortar
was
charged
with
160
pounds
of
powder
,
and
the
shell
placed
in
the
chamber
.
On
being
fired
,
the
projectile
rose
with
great
velocity
,
described
a
majestic
parabola
,
attained
a
height
of
about
a
thousand
feet
,
and
with
a
graceful
curve
descended
in
the
midst
of
the
vessels
that
lay
there
at
anchor
.
Without
a
moment
's
loss
of
time
a
small
boat
put
off
in
the
direction
of
its
fall
;
some
divers
plunged
into
the
water
and
attached
ropes
to
the
handles
of
the
shell
,
which
was
quickly
dragged
on
board
.
Five
minutes
did
not
elapse
between
the
moment
of
enclosing
the
animals
and
that
of
unscrewing
the
coverlid
of
their
prison
.
