Never
before
had
the
British
power
in
India
been
exposed
to
such
danger
,
and
if
,
as
they
had
hoped
,
the
sepoys
had
received
assistance
from
without
,
the
influence
and
supremacy
in
Asia
of
the
United
Kingdom
would
have
been
a
thing
of
the
past
.
The
name
of
Prince
Dakkar
was
at
that
time
well
known
.
He
had
fought
openly
and
without
concealment
.
A
price
was
set
upon
his
head
,
but
he
managed
to
escape
from
his
pursuers
.
Civilization
never
recedes
;
the
law
of
necessity
ever
forces
it
onwards
.
The
sepoys
were
vanquished
,
and
the
land
of
the
rajahs
of
old
fell
again
under
the
rule
of
England
.
Prince
Dakkar
,
unable
to
find
that
death
he
courted
,
returned
to
the
mountain
fastnesses
of
Bundelkund
.
There
,
alone
in
the
world
,
overcome
by
disappointment
at
the
destruction
of
all
his
vain
hopes
,
a
prey
to
profound
disgust
for
all
human
beings
,
filled
with
hatred
of
the
civilized
world
,
he
realized
the
wreck
of
his
fortune
,
assembled
some
score
of
his
most
faithful
companions
,
and
one
day
disappeared
,
leaving
no
trace
behind
.
Where
,
then
,
did
he
seek
that
liberty
denied
him
upon
the
inhabited
earth
?
Under
the
waves
,
in
the
depths
of
the
ocean
,
where
none
could
follow
.
The
warrior
became
the
man
of
science
.
Upon
a
deserted
island
of
the
Pacific
he
established
his
dockyard
,
and
there
a
submarine
vessel
was
constructed
from
his
designs
.
By
methods
which
will
at
some
future
day
be
revealed
he
had
rendered
subservient
the
illimitable
forces
of
electricity
,
which
,
extracted
from
inexhaustible
sources
,
was
employed
for
all
the
requirements
of
his
floating
equipage
,
as
a
moving
,
lighting
,
and
heating
agent
.
The
sea
,
with
its
countless
treasures
,
its
myriads
of
fish
,
its
numberless
wrecks
,
its
enormous
mammalia
,
and
not
only
all
that
nature
supplied
,
but
also
all
that
man
had
lost
in
its
depths
,
sufficed
for
every
want
of
the
prince
and
his
crew
--
and
thus
was
his
most
ardent
desire
accomplished
,
never
again
to
hold
communication
with
the
earth
.
He
named
his
submarine
vessel
the
"
Nautilus
,
"
called
himself
simply
Captain
Nemo
,
and
disappeared
beneath
the
seas
.
During
many
years
this
strange
being
visited
every
ocean
,
from
pole
to
pole
.
Outcast
of
the
inhabited
earth
in
these
unknown
worlds
he
gathered
incalculable
treasures
.
The
millions
lost
in
the
Bay
of
Vigo
,
in
1702
,
by
the
galleons
of
Spain
,
furnished
him
with
a
mine
of
inexhaustible
riches
which
he
devoted
always
,
anonymously
,
in
favor
of
those
nations
who
fought
for
the
independence
of
their
country
.
(
This
refers
to
the
resurrection
of
the
Candiotes
,
who
were
,
in
fact
,
largely
assisted
by
Captain
Nemo
.
