The
captain
thanked
the
colonists
by
a
sign
,
and
requested
them
to
leave
him
for
some
hours
.
Gideon
Spilett
wished
to
remain
near
him
,
in
the
event
of
a
crisis
coming
on
,
but
the
dying
man
refused
,
saying
,
"
I
shall
live
until
to-morrow
,
sir
.
"
All
left
the
saloon
,
passed
through
the
library
and
the
dining-room
,
and
arrived
forward
,
in
the
machine-room
where
the
electrical
apparatus
was
established
,
which
supplied
not
only
heat
and
light
,
but
the
mechanical
power
of
the
"
Nautilus
.
"
The
"
Nautilus
"
was
a
masterpiece
containing
masterpieces
with
itself
,
and
the
engineer
was
struck
with
astonishment
.
The
colonists
mounted
the
platform
,
which
rose
seven
or
eight
feet
above
the
water
.
There
they
beheld
a
thick
glass
lenticular
covering
,
which
protected
a
kind
of
large
eye
,
from
which
flashed
forth
light
.
Behind
this
eye
was
apparently
a
cabin
containing
the
wheels
of
the
rudder
,
and
in
which
was
stationed
the
helmsman
,
when
he
navigated
the
"
Nautilus
"
over
the
bed
of
the
ocean
,
which
the
electric
rays
would
evidently
light
up
to
a
considerable
distance
.
Cyrus
Harding
and
his
companions
remained
for
a
time
silent
,
for
they
were
vividly
impressed
by
what
they
had
just
seen
and
heard
,
and
their
hearts
were
deeply
touched
by
the
thought
that
he
whose
arm
had
so
often
aided
them
,
the
protector
whom
they
had
known
but
a
few
hours
,
was
at
the
point
of
death
.
Whatever
might
be
the
judgment
pronounced
by
posterity
upon
the
events
of
this
,
so
to
speak
,
extra-human
existence
,
the
character
of
Prince
Dakkar
would
ever
remain
as
one
of
those
whose
memory
time
can
never
efface
.
"
What
a
man
!
"
said
Pencroft
.
"
Is
it
possible
that
he
can
have
lived
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea
?
And
it
seems
to
me
that
perhaps
he
has
not
found
peace
there
any
more
than
elsewhere
!
"
"
The
'
Nautilus
,
'
"
observed
Ayrton
,
"
might
have
enabled
us
to
leave
Lincoln
Island
and
reach
some
inhabited
country
.
"
"
Good
Heavens
!
"
exclaimed
Pencroft
,
"
I
for
one
would
never
risk
myself
in
such
a
craft
.
To
sail
on
the
seas
,
good
,
but
under
the
seas
,
never
!
"
"
I
believe
,
Pencroft
,
"
answered
the
reporter
,
"
that
the
navigation
of
a
submarine
vessel
such
as
the
'
Nautilus
'
ought
to
be
very
easy
,
and
that
we
should
soon
become
accustomed
to
it
.
There
would
be
no
storms
,
no
lee-shore
to
fear
.
At
some
feet
beneath
the
surface
the
waters
of
the
ocean
are
as
calm
as
those
of
a
lake
.
