There Is (he the silence. we for! he cried. are looking thing or We all saw the sea monster, whatever It was, which we had been bunffrj for months. It made off as we charged. We gave chase. Throughout all that night and next day we pursued. We stopped. It stopped. Once It allowed us to creep close to It; and as we crept It rammed us. The shock of collision threw me Into the sea. I would have drowned hut for my faithful Consell. He supported me to the hard metallic back of the monster. Here we were Joined by Ned Land. As we were resting there, eight masked men came through a hatch and drew us down Into the bowels of what we now saw was not a monster, but a strange kind of sea craft. Thus began the strange voyage with that remarkable character who called himself Captain Nemo, and In that strnnge wonderful ship which he called the Nautilus. The Nautilus was a steel ship of 232 feet In length, 20 feet beam and 1,500 tons dead weight. There were two hulls, one Inside the other Joined by Irons, which rendered them of almost unerushnble strength. She was driven by electric engines of tremendous power. Tanks which could be filled or emptied at will enabled her to cruise on the surface or under the water ns she pleased. 8he was fitted with all kinds of working and lounging quarters. In a library were books on the sciences, morals, literature of almost every language. There was a drawing mom with s luminous celling which 'served also as a museum, and Into which an Intelligent hand hnd gathered submarine' treasures of the world : the rarest shells, pearls of nil colors and beyond price, every variety of undersea vegetation; also paintings of the masters, admirable statues In marble nnd bronze, a great organ piano. From the Inside of her a staircase led to a platform or deck from which rose two cages, partly enclosed by thick glasses. One enge was for the helmsman, the other contained an electric searchlight to light the course of the ship In dark waters. On this platform also was a place wherein was stored a long-boaCaptain Nemo was tall and robust! with pale skin, lofty brow, nnd the fine taper hands of a highly nervous temperament He spoke French. English, German, Latin, all equally well. He may have been thirty the, he may have been flfty years old. It was on November 6, 11(1(1, with the coast of Japan in view, that this strange captain told us we were prisoners for him to do with as he pleased. And now, he added, "our course Is B. N, B. and our cruising depth at fathoms. I leave you to the resources of these quarters and your own reflections. We remained mute, not knowing what surprise awaited us. Suddenly n dazzling light broke In on us. We saw that only glass pnnels separated us from a sea which was Illuminated far to either side by the powerful electric gleams from the ship. What a spectacle! An army of undersea creatures escorted us. They were various and beautiful In the clear wnter, many known, but hundreds unknown to us.
