When the Antarctic is short of oxygen, there is only a trace of air in the air tank on the diving suit. At that time, they almost collapsed because of lack of oxygen. At this time, Captain Nemo did not breathe the last breath of air to sustain his life, but left the chance of survival to the professor. He sacrificed his life for the lives of others. His behavior touched countless readers and deeply touched me.
The author's surprise lies not only in his exaggerated, touching and scientific novels, but also in the stories he wrote in the book. Although this is not surprising today in the 2 1 century, in Verne's era, people have not invented submarines that can swim underwater, and even electric lights have not appeared. In this context, Verne successfully shaped the submarine Nautilus in Two Wan Li under the Sea, and 25 years after the novel was published. The artificial real submarine is similar to that described in the novel. What kind of foresight is this? Therefore, the fantasy in Verne's works has scientific basis. The scientific fantasy described in many of his works can be realized today. More importantly, the fantasy in his works is bold and novel, which is interesting to read because of its vivid, vivid and picturesque beauty. His works are full of thrilling twists and turns, vivid characters and unexpected endings. All this makes him.
This work tells the story of Pierre Aronnax, a French biologist, traveling in the depths of the ocean. It happened in 1866, and a monster thought to be a narwhal was found at sea. He accepted the invitation to join the hunting, unfortunately fell into the water during the hunting and swam on the monster's back. In fact, this monster is not a narwhal, but a diving boat with wonderful structure. This diving boat was secretly built by Captain Nemo on a desert island in the middle of the ocean, with a solid hull. Using the ocean to generate electricity, Captain Nemo invited Pierre Aronnax to travel to the bottom of the sea. They set out from the Pacific Ocean, passed through coral islands, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and entered the Atlantic Ocean. They saw many rare marine animals and plants and strange scenes in the water, and experienced many dangers such as stranding, being besieged by indigenous people, fighting with sharks, icebergs blocking roads, octopus attacks and so on. Finally, when the submarine arrived at the Norwegian coast, Pierre Aronnax left without saying goodbye. Let the secrets he knows about the seabed be known to the world. Captain Nemo, the protagonist in the book, is a romantic, mysterious and charming figure. Nemo built a diving boat according to his own design, snorkeling on the seabed for large-scale scientific research, but it seems that this is not the only purpose of his lonely life. He avoided enemies and persecutors, sought freedom at the bottom of the sea, and was deeply saddened by his lonely life.
This collection contains all the features of Verne's science fiction. The twists and turns, the confusing storyline, the ever-changing fate of the characters, the rich and detailed scientific knowledge and the vivid fantasy of the details are all a furnace. The author's originality and ingenious layout sometimes push readers into a dangerous environment, and sometimes bring them into a wonderful realm full of poetry and painting. Magnificent scene description and detailed detail description alternate. It's fascinating to read, and you can't stop.
In this way, with a feeling of reverence, I began to take the Nautilus submarine with Junasz, the protagonist of the book, and began his legendary underwater journey. Captain Nemo, the owner of the Nautilus, was a gloomy and learned man. Together, they traveled around the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Antarctic and Arctic Ocean, and met many rare underwater animals and plants, as well as underwater caves, back channels and sites.
Nautilus set out from the Sea of Japan, entered the Pacific Ocean, Oceania, and then arrived in the Indian Ocean, passing through the Red Sea and the Arabian Tunnel, and arrived in the Mediterranean Sea. The submarine crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, along the coast of Africa, and headed for the South Pole. Then go north along the coast of Latin America, follow the warm current to the North Sea, and finally disappear into the whirlpool on the west coast of Norway. During the submarine journey of nearly ten months, Nautilus sailed slowly at an average speed of 12 km per hour. I feel myself.
The climax of the whole voyage is repeated: underwater hunting, underwater forest visit, underwater Atlantis ruins visit, Spanish sunken ship treasure salvage, coral kingdom funeral witness, fighting with Okumo, sharks and octopus, fighting back against the siege of aborigines, etc. This book contains a great deal of knowledge about science, culture, geography and geology. O Junasz expressed admiration for Captain Nemo's outstanding talent and knowledge in the voyage.
However, in the fascinating story, people are also warned that while seeing that science and technology benefit mankind, they should pay attention to preventing acts that are used by bad people and endanger the human crisis; Put forward the idea of caring for marine life such as seals and whales and condemning indiscriminate killing. These hot environmental protection topics were called for by prophets 200 years ago. It can be seen that it is this book that makes readers feel colorful adventures, gain vivid knowledge and inspire us to get more from our hearts.
The novel appeared "monsters" from the sea, frequently attacking ships of various countries, stirring people's panic until the Nautilus was swallowed up by the Atlantic vortex, and the whole novel was full of suspense and interlocking. This book attracted me deeply. During the trip, Captain Nemo, the tourists and I can be said to change with the development of things, sometimes fearful, sometimes relaxed and happy.
The subtlety of this book also lies in the completely natural knowledge enlightenment. Although this book tells a lot about the ocean, for example, the mucus secreted by a tiny creature named Trigonorrhoea in the Red Sea makes the sea water as red as blood. But none of them are deliberate, and none of them are difficult for readers to accept. It's just what they saw and heard during a trip, which makes people firmly preserve all kinds of ideas and gains arising from the scenery.
Not every science fiction novel is as readable as Two Wan Li under the Sea. As a novel not fabricated out of thin air, it is accumulated by foresight and erudition, which not only explains their journey for readers who don't know underwater knowledge in detail, but also shows the wisdom and civilization of the ancients to later generations.
The whole novel uses a lot of space to introduce scientific knowledge such as ocean current, fish, shellfish, coral, marine benthos, seaweed, marine biological circulation system, pearl production and so on, and becomes a veritable scientific enlightenment novel.
Two Wan Li under the Sea is the second part of Verne's trilogy. This book is really worth reading. Rich knowledge and ingenious plot conception can be said to be a major feature of Verne's writing. Two Wan Li under the Sea is a sci-fi marine popular novel. Captain Nemo in the book is a sea hall? Don Quixote-style characters drift to the bottom of the sea for national hatred, and the plot structure of this work is in the same strain as the tramp novel. Ocean popular novels further show human confidence in understanding and controlling the ocean, and show the tenacity and courage of human will.
The first is science. Verne's works have always been known for their strong scientific nature. Almost every book of his involves all kinds of science, and Two Wan Li under the Sea is no exception. The breadth of marine knowledge involved in this paper is unmatched by other marine novels. The refraction of light, the classified collection of pearls, the structure of submarines and the description of the seabed all reflect his imagination and rich scientific knowledge.
Personally, I don't particularly like Captain Nemo, although he is knowledgeable. His creativity; His bravery and so on are admirable. But Captain Nemo seems a little extreme. I like Conseil, the servant in the book best. His loyalty to his master and his talent are worthy of recognition. First of all, at the beginning of the article, he decided to go with his master after learning that he was going to participate in dangerous whaling activities and even his life was in danger. Although the professor said he couldn't go, he decided to follow, which is worthy of recognition. When he fell into the water, he saw his master fall into the water and jumped bravely. This is a rare loyalty.
And his erudition. Two thirds of the scientific knowledge involved in this article was told by the professor and Captain Nemo, and the rest was told by him. He took pains to classify all kinds of aquatic animals with amazing details. At the same time, his interest in taxonomy enabled him to master marine knowledge like a professor. For example, when I first saw the collection in Nautilus, I began to classify it and continued to classify it in the water. When I arrived at the South Pole, I didn't forget his classification. You can say that he is a sorting freak. The second time, he also had a special notebook to record the classification. As you can imagine, Nautilus can still classify calmly when he doesn't know his future fate, which shows how calm his heart is, or he wants to forget his fear of Nautilus through classification. This is my guess.
What moved me most was that he risked his life to save people's lives. When the Antarctic is short of oxygen, there is only a trace of air in the piggy bank on the diving suit. At that time, they almost collapsed because of lack of air. At this time, he didn't take away the last breath of air, but left the chance of survival to the professor. That moment is arguably the most touching scene in the book.
Although Conseil is only one of the many outstanding figures in Verne's works, he is still deeply loved by me. It can be said that he is a typical character writing in Verne's novels. Verne is good at grasping the description of scenery and environment to set off a person. Conseil is like this. It is precisely because of such a specific environment as Nautilus that he was given a chance to show himself. Verne is also good at expressing a person through other things. It is through a series of things that he is good at showing himself.
The following is the relevant information about the two Wan Li under the sea:
French writer Jules? Verne is a famous science fiction writer in the world. His works are not only full of bizarre and profound imagination and touching artistic images, but also show a high degree of science. Two Wan Li under the Sea is one of the representative works.
1866, a monster thought to be a narwhal was found at sea. French biologist Pierre Aronnax was invited to join the hunt. In the chase, Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil and the whaler Ned? Lan Sanren discovered that this monster was not a narwhal, but a submarine with wonderful structure.
Nemo, the captain of the submarine, is a mysterious figure with unknown nationality, claiming to "sever relations with all mankind". He is tall, confident and firm. Nemo invited Pierre Aronnax to visit this amazing modern industrial masterpiece-Nautilus; It uses waves to generate electricity and provide heat, light and electricity for ships; Everything it needs is taken from the ocean. It was secretly built by Nemo on a desert island in the middle of the ocean.
Pierre Aronnax and his companions set off from the Pacific Ocean on the Nautilus, and began a voyage of underwater exploration. Through the submarine's glass window, the ocean shows them all kinds of strange sights: marine benthos, all kinds of birds-like fish in the air, and all kinds of arthropods and mollusks everywhere ... which makes people dizzying. They observe and study. Through Crispo Island, the submarine stopped at the bottom of the sea. They put on diving suits, walked on the submarine plains and hunted in underwater forests with special rifles. The book describes the wonderful world under the sea, which is amazing:
This is really a wonderful and rare undersea forest. It is full of tall woody plants, and the branches of small trees extend straight to the sunny side. No skill, no context, like a hard core. Corals with bright flowers are growing everywhere in all kinds of shrubs as high as temperate forests. How beautiful!
Later, the submarine experienced dangers such as grounding and indigenous siege, and sailed safely to the Indian Ocean. Then something strange happened. What Captain Nemo saw from the sea suddenly filled with anger and hatred. He rudely locked Pierre Aronnax and his companions in a small room and forced them to sleep. The next day, Pierre Aronnax woke up and Captain Nemo asked him to treat a seriously injured crew member. The crew are all dead. Captain Nemo sadly led the funeral procession and buried the dead in the dazzling coral forest on the seabed. He said: here, coral will seal the dead forever and will not be bullied by sharks and people!
Ceylon Island at the southern tip of the Indian Peninsula is just around the corner. Pierre Aronnax accepted Captain Nemo's suggestion and headed for the underwater pearl mining field. Suddenly, a huge shark pounced on the pearl picker. Captain Nemo stood up to fight the shark with a short knife in his hand. Captain Nemo was crushed by the shark's huge body and was in danger, wasn't he, Ned? Lan quickly threw a sharp fork and hit the shark in the heart. The captain saved the poor pearl picker and took a packet of pearls from his pocket and gave it to him. From this, Pierre Aronnax thinks that Nemo has two points worthy of attention: first, he is extremely brave, and second, his spirit of sacrifice for mankind. It seems that this eccentric man has not completely broken the absolute human love.
From the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, if you take the Cape of Good Hope, you need to go around Africa. But Captain Nemo sneaked along an Arabian submarine passage he discovered, and in less than twenty minutes he crossed the Isthmus of Suez and reached the Mediterranean Sea. The book says:
Nautilus is running along the dark and deep undersea tunnel. With the inclination of the tunnel, the submarine descended with the rapids like an arrow. On the narrow high walls on both sides of the tunnel, I saw brilliant lines drawn by the speed of lightning, straight into strips. Let us be heartbroken.
The submarine is heading for Condi Island. At this time, another strange thing happened: as a diver appeared in front of the submarine window in the morning, Captain Nemo took out millions of gold from the cupboard, wrote down the address and sent someone to carry it away in a boat. Where did all this gold go? Pierre Aronnax felt that the mysterious Nemo still had some connection with this land.
The submarine crossed the boiling water in the volcanic area of Sandelin Island, came out of the Strait of Gibraltar, sailed to the Atlantic Ocean and stopped at the bottom of Victoria Bay. This is the battlefield of naval battle in 1702. At that time, the ship carrying gold and silver to the Spanish government sank here, and the seabed was covered with gold and silver jewelry. Nemo sent his crew to load millions of gold and silver into the submarine. Pierre Aronnax regrets that a lot of wealth cannot be distributed to the poor. The captain replied excitedly, "Did I salvage these belongings for myself?" Do you think I don't know that there are countless suffering people, oppressed races and victims who want revenge? "Pierre Aronnax this just understand captain nemo when passing through Connecticut sent millions of gold coins is for the sake of who.
At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, Pierre Aronnax and Captain Nemo made a novel trip. They climbed a peak on the sunken continent in the Atlantic Ocean and watched the wonders of the volcano spewing sulfur and flint. Overlooking a ruined city at the foot of the mountain-the whole submerged city of Pompeii. This book describes the legendary ancient underwater city:
In the distance is a volcano. Below the peak, between ordinary stones and dregs, a huge fire spout spewed a torrent of sulfur flint, and a waterfall that flew into fire sank into the sea, shining on the plain under the sea floor until the farthest end. At present, I am a destroyed city, with collapsed houses, broken and scattered arches and fallen stone pillars. A little further away, it is the ruins of some small projects. Farther away, a series of collapsed city walls, an uninhabited continent in vast expanse, the whole underwater city of Pompeii was revived and appeared before my eyes.
Then, Nautilus boldly sailed to the South Pole, and the submarine sailed among the whales. Ned. Lan asked about chasing whales. Minister Nemo did not agree to harm these kind and harmless fin whales. When a cruel whale attacked a fin whale at sea, Captain Nemo decided to rescue it. The nautilus used its steel horn to go straight through the whale. After a fierce battle, the sea was full of dead whales. After crossing the Antarctic, the submarine experienced dangers such as iceberg road closure and octopus attack. It was Captain Nemo who led the crew to overcome the difficulties with amazing calmness and perseverance.
Finally, the submarine sailed through the warm Atlantic current known as the king of storms and came to a place where a French patriotic warship sank. Nemo told the history of warship revenge with passion. This attracted the attention of Pierre Aronnax. It is not ordinary cynicism, but very noble hatred to lock Captain Nemo and his companions in the hull of the Nautilus. Didn't it attack some ships in the Indian Ocean that night? Isn't the man buried in the coral cemetery the victim of the conflict caused by Nautilus? And on all the seas, people are also chasing this terrible destructive machine!
When the nautilus slowly returned to the surface, it exploded: a warship was attacking the nautilus. Captain Nemo is determined to sink it. Pierre Aronnax tried to dissuade him, but the captain said, "I am oppressed. Look, that's the oppressor! Because of him, everything I love and respect, everything I love and respect, my motherland, parents, lovers and children are all dead! Everything I hate is there! " The captain didn't want the wreckage of this warship to be mixed with the glorious wreckage of Revenge, so he led the warship to the east. The next day, the terrible blow began! Nautilus deliberately let the enemy approach, and then under the powerful impetus of the propeller, it aimed at the weak part below the buoy line of the warship at that powerful angle of attack and crossed over! In an instant, the warship hull cracked, then exploded and sank quickly. Its mast is full of victims. Then, the dark giant sank into the water, and with it, all the bodies were swept away by the powerful vortex. ...
Pierre Aronnax witnessed this tragic scene and was extremely disgusted with Captain Nemo: "Although he may have suffered a lot in other ways, he has no right to take such cruel revenge." Pierre Aronnax heard Captain Nemo's last words on the ship: "Almighty God! Enough! Enough! "
In the dangerous waters off the Norwegian coast, Pierre Aronnax and Ned? Lan and Conseil left the Nautilus in a small boat, ending this round-the-world trip across the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the North and South poles. Pierre Aronnax hopes: "If Captain Nemo lives in the ocean of his choice forever, I hope all hatred will fade in this stubborn heart! ..... I hope that this talented scholar will continue to do peaceful exploration! "
The plot in this novel is bizarre and vividly depicts the underwater world full of mystery. Language is lively and interesting, which is both an artistic language and a scientific language. The explanation of all kinds of underwater things is vivid.
Chapter 22 Captain Nemo's Last Words
The panel inside the ship was closed in this frightening scene, but the lights in the living room were not bright, and the interior of the Orange Leaf was dark and silent. It was at the bottom of 100 feet, and soon left this miserable place. Where does it lead? How about going to the north? What about the south? Where did the man escape after this terrible revenge? I went back to my room, and Ned Land and Conseil were in the cabin, silent. I have a feeling of extreme disgust for Captain Nemo. Although he may have suffered a lot from others, he has no right to take such cruel revenge. Although he didn't make me his accomplice, he made me a witness of his revenge! This is too much.
At eleven o'clock, lightning appeared again. I walked into the living room and there was no one in the hall. Let me see all kinds of instruments in the hall. Nautilus sailed north at a speed of 25 nautical miles per hour, sometimes at sea and sometimes under 30 feet of water. From the records on the map, I can see that we are walking at the mouth of the English Channel, and the sailing direction has brought us to the Arctic Ocean at an extremely fast speed.
In the evening, we walked 200 miles across the Atlantic. Shadow came, and darkness invaded the sea until the moon rose.
I went back to my room. I can't sleep. I'm haunted by nightmares. The terrible scene of cruel destruction keeps repeating itself in my mind.
From today on, who can say where the Nautilus will take us in the North Atlantic? Always so fast! Always in the fog in the far north! It will approach the sharp corner of Fort Spacci; Close to the cliffs of New zubair? It will cross those mysterious oceans. The White Sea, the Kara Sea, Obi-Wan, the Ljalov Islands and the Asian coast that no one has ever been to? It is almost impossible for me to estimate the time spent in this way. Time stopped on the ship's big clock. It seems that day and night follow the two poles, not their laws. I feel like I was taken away. Edgar. Bo's excessive imagination can move freely in that strange field. Every moment, I am like the weird Gordon Bing, waiting to see "the masked man who is much taller than anyone who lives on any land, leaning in the waterfall that protects the periphery of the North Pole!"
I estimate-but I may be mistaken-that the adventure of Nautilus will be extended to fifteen or twenty days. If there is no catastrophe to end this submarine trip, I don't know when it will be extended. Captain Nemo, I can't say. So is his deputy. I can't see anyone on board. The nautilus continued to sail underwater. When it floats to change the air, the panel always moves mechanically: it opens and closes. I can't remember the location on the map. I don't know what our door is.
I want to repeat that the Canadian couldn't stand it until the last minute. He didn't come out. Conseil couldn't make him say a word. He was afraid that he would suddenly lose his mind. He might commit suicide under the fear of homesickness. Therefore, Conseil always faithfully and carefully guarded him. It goes without saying that under such circumstances, our situation can no longer be maintained. One morning-one day I couldn't say it-I fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, which was a sleepy and morbid lethargy. When I woke up, I saw Ned. Lan leaned over me and I heard him whisper to me, let's run! "
I stood up and asked:
"When shall we run away?"
"In the evening. Nautilus seems to have lost any management and supervision. The ship seems completely numb and groggy. Can you be ready, sir? "
"Yes, where are we now?"
"You can see land there. I saw land in the middle of dense fog this morning, 20 nautical miles to the east. "
"What land is that?"
"I don't know. No matter what land it is, we just need to escape there. "
. "yes! Ned. Yes, we will escape tonight, even if the sea engulfs us! "
"The sea is stormy and windy, but I'm sitting in the canoe of the Nautilus, and rowing 20 nautical miles doesn't scare me. I was not discovered by the crew on board and secretly took some food and bottles of drinking water. "
"I want to run away with you."
Besides, "Na's adult added," if found, I will definitely resist, and I want someone to kill me. "
"We die together, Ned friend."
I was desperate and determined to run away. The Canadian is out. I'm on the platform. I can't stand it. I can't be attacked by those waves. It's already dark, and there will be a storm soon, but since there is land in the dense fog, it's escape. Now we can't lose a day, a moment, a moment in vain.
When I returned to the living room, I was scared and wanted to see Captain Nemo. I wanted to see him again and again. What job can I tell him? Can I keep the natural disgust he caused in my heart? Can't! Then you won't see him. You'd better not face him! Might as well forget him! This is the only way!
How long was my last day on the nautilus! I was there alone. Ned. Lan and Conseil avoided me and didn't talk to me for fear of revealing our plans. At six o'clock, I had dinner, but I was not hungry. Although I don't want to eat, I barely eat and don't want to make myself weak. At half past six, Ned Lan came into my room and said to me:
"We can only meet again when we leave. It's ten o'clock and the moon hasn't come up yet. We escaped in the dark. You come to the boat. Conseil and I, we will wait for you there. "
The Canadian left without even giving me time to answer him.
I want to determine the direction of Nautilus. I want to go to the living room. We are at a depth of 50 meters, and the ship is heading north-northeast at an alarming speed.
I finally took a look at the treasures of nature and art piled up in this showroom, and finally took a look at the incomparable precious collections that will one day be buried at the bottom of the sea with their collectors. I want to repair my deep impression in my heart for the last time. In this way, I spent an hour looking at the splendid treasures in the glass cabinet under the lightning from the brilliant ceiling. Then I went back to my room.
When I arrived at the room, I was wearing strong clothes that I wore in the sea. I put all my notes together and took them away. My heart is beating very hard. I can't suppress my pulse. Of course, my mood and my excitement can be seen in Captain Nemo's eyes.
What is he doing at this time? I went to his door to listen carefully. I heard footsteps. Captain Nemo is inside. He didn't sleep. Hearing his every move, I think he will come out and ask me why I ran away! I feel a constant alarm. My imagination amplified these alarms again. This feeling is very uncomfortable, which makes me think, go to the captain's room, face to face with him, challenge him with gestures and eyes, or better!
This is a crazy idea. Fortunately, I restrained myself. I lay in bed to calm my body. My nerves are quieter, but my brain is overstimulated. In my quick memory, I can see my life on the Nautilus and all the accidents I encountered after leaving the Lincoln: happy or painful: underwater hunting, Torres Strait, indigenous people in Papua, stranded on rocks, coral cemetery, Suez cross-harbour tunnel, Sandelin Island and Crete diver: Vigo. Antarctic, trapped in ice, fighting octopus, Atlantic warm current storm. Revenge, and the terrible scene of the ship sinking with its crew! ..... All these events came to my eyes, as if the scenery behind them was unveiled at the bottom of the stage. At that time, Captain Nemo was huge in this strange environment. His image is condensed, showing a typical superman. He is not my kind, he is a man in the water and a god in the sea.
The time is half past ten. I held my head tightly with my hand to prevent it from bursting. I close my eyes. I don't want to think that I have to wait for half an hour: half an hour's nightmare may drive me crazy! At this moment, I heard the faint sound of the big organ. It's an unspeakable sad song, a real lament that a person wants to break off relations with the world. I listened attentively with my five senses and almost stopped breathing. Like Captain Nemo, I was totally immersed in the music that took him out of this world.
After a while, a sudden thought frightened me; Captain Nemo has left his room. He is in the living room where I must pass when I run away. I want to see him one last time in the lobby. He wants to see me, or he wants to talk to me! His gesture may make me stunned and unable to move. He can lock me in his boat just by saying a word! However, it will ring at ten o'clock. It's time to leave my room and meet my companion.
Without hesitation, even if Captain Nemo stood in front of me, he could not retreat. I opened the door carefully, but I felt that when I turned the button, the door made a frightening sound. Or this sound can only exist in my imagination!
I groped forward step by step along the dark corridor of the nautilus, and stopped to restrain my heartbeat step by step.
I walked to the door in the corner of the living room. I opened it gently. It was dark in the hall. The sound of the big organ is very weak. Captain Nemo is there. He didn't see me. I think, even in bright light, I'm afraid he can't see me, because he is wandering in the sky and is completely attracted by the dreamy music. I moved slowly on the carpet, being very careful not to touch anything to avoid making noise. It took me five minutes to walk to the door of the living room leading to the library.
I was about to open the door when Captain Nemo sighed and nailed me there. I know he stood up. I even saw his figure, because some lights in the lighted library have been shining into the living room. He came to me with his hands crossed and said nothing. He came instead of slipping away like a ghost. His depressed chest swelled with crying. I heard him whisper the following words-the last words that reached my ears:
"Almighty God! Enough! Enough! "
Is this a confession from this man's conscience? ……
I was confused and ran out of the library. I walked up the central staircase and down the aisle above. I walked to the boat. I got off the boat from the open hole, and my two companions were already inside.
"Let's go! Go! " I shouted.
"Go at once!" The Canadian replied.
The hole in the steel plate of Nautilus was originally closed, Ned? Lan has a pair of pliers. Tighten the screws. The hole in the boat was closed, and the Canadians began to loosen the screws that still fixed us to the diving boat. Suddenly there was a sound on the boat. Many voices promised each other in a hurry. What happened? Did people find out that we had escaped? I think Ned? Lan took a knife and put it in my hand.
"Yes!" I whispered, "We are not afraid of death!"
The Canadian stopped his work of loosening the nail. We heard a sentence that was repeated many times. A terrible sentence explained to me why Nautilus was harassed and excited everywhere. The crew on board found that the object was not us.
