His
first
impulse
was
to
fly
from
the
vicinity
of
the
five
castaways
;
but
his
harbor
refuge
was
closed
,
for
in
consequence
of
an
elevation
of
the
basalt
,
produced
by
the
influence
of
volcanic
action
,
he
could
no
longer
pass
through
the
entrance
of
the
vault
.
Though
there
was
sufficient
depth
of
water
to
allow
a
light
craft
to
pass
the
bar
,
there
was
not
enough
for
the
"
Nautilus
,
"
whose
draught
of
water
was
considerable
.
Captain
Nemo
was
compelled
,
therefore
,
to
remain
.
He
observed
these
men
thrown
without
resources
upon
a
desert
island
,
but
had
no
wish
to
be
himself
discovered
by
them
.
By
degrees
he
became
interested
in
their
efforts
when
he
saw
them
honest
,
energetic
,
and
bound
to
each
other
by
the
ties
of
friendship
.
As
if
despite
his
wishes
,
he
penetrated
all
the
secrets
of
their
existence
.
By
means
of
the
diving
dress
he
could
easily
reach
the
well
in
the
interior
of
Granite
House
,
and
climbing
by
the
projections
of
rock
to
its
upper
orifice
he
heard
the
colonists
as
they
recounted
the
past
,
and
studied
the
present
and
future
.
He
learned
from
them
the
tremendous
conflict
of
America
with
America
itself
,
for
the
abolition
of
slavery
.
Yes
,
these
men
were
worthy
to
reconcile
Captain
Nemo
with
that
humanity
which
they
represented
so
nobly
in
the
island
.
Captain
Nemo
had
saved
Cyrus
Harding
.
It
was
he
also
who
had
brought
back
the
dog
to
the
Chimneys
,
who
rescued
Top
from
the
waters
of
the
lake
,
who
caused
to
fall
at
Flotsam
Point
the
case
containing
so
many
things
useful
to
the
colonists
,
who
conveyed
the
canoe
back
into
the
stream
of
the
Mercy
,
who
cast
the
cord
from
the
top
of
Granite
House
at
the
time
of
the
attack
by
the
baboons
,
who
made
known
the
presence
of
Ayrton
upon
Tabor
Island
,
by
means
of
the
document
enclosed
in
the
bottle
,
who
caused
the
explosion
of
the
brig
by
the
shock
of
a
torpedo
placed
at
the
bottom
of
the
canal
,
who
saved
Herbert
from
certain
death
by
bringing
the
sulphate
of
quinine
;
and
finally
,
it
was
he
who
had
killed
the
convicts
with
the
electric
balls
,
of
which
he
possessed
the
secret
,
and
which
he
employed
in
the
chase
of
submarine
creatures
.
Thus
were
explained
so
many
apparently
supernatural
occurrences
,
and
which
all
proved
the
generosity
and
power
of
the
captain
.
Nevertheless
,
this
noble
misanthrope
longed
to
benefit
his
proteges
still
further
.
There
yet
remained
much
useful
advice
to
give
them
,
and
,
his
heart
being
softened
by
the
approach
of
death
,
he
invited
,
as
we
are
aware
,
the
colonists
of
Granite
House
to
visit
the
"
Nautilus
,
"
by
means
of
a
wire
which
connected
it
with
the
corral
.
Possibly
he
would
not
have
done
this
had
he
been
aware
that
Cyrus
Harding
was
sufficiently
acquainted
with
his
history
to
address
him
by
the
name
of
Nemo
.
The
captain
concluded
the
narrative
of
his
life
.
Cyrus
Harding
then
spoke
;
he
recalled
all
the
incidents
which
had
exercised
so
beneficent
an
influence
upon
the
colony
,
and
in
the
names
of
his
companions
and
himself
thanked
the
generous
being
to
whom
they
owed
so
much
.
But
Captain
Nemo
paid
little
attention
;
his
mind
appeared
to
be
absorbed
by
one
idea
,
and
without
taking
the
proffered
hand
of
the
engineer
,
--
"
Now
,
sir
,
"
said
he
,
"
now
that
you
know
my
history
,
your
judgment
!
"
In
saying
this
,
the
captain
evidently
alluded
to
an
important
incident
witnessed
by
the
three
strangers
thrown
on
board
his
vessel
,
and
which
the
French
professor
had
related
in
his
work
,
causing
a
profound
and
terrible
sensation
.
Some
days
previous
to
the
flight
of
the
professor
and
his
two
companions
,
the
"
Nautilus
,
"
being
chased
by
a
frigate
in
the
north
of
the
Atlantic
had
hurled
herself
as
a
ram
upon
this
frigate
,
and
sunk
her
without
mercy
.
