1"Yes, Professor; and I love it as if it were part of myself. If danger threatens one of your vessels on the ocean, the
2first impression is the feeling of an abyss above and below. On the Nautilus men's hearts never fail them. No defects to
3be afraid of, for the double shell is as firm as iron; no rigging to attend to; no sails for the wind to carry away; no
4boilers to burst; no fire to fear, for the vessel is made of iron, not of wood; no coal to run short, for electricity is
5the only mechanical agent; no collision to fear, for it alone swims in deep water; no tempest to brave, for when it
6dives below the water, it reaches absolute tranquillity. There, sir! that is the perfection of vessels! And if it is
7true that the engineer has more confidence in the vessel than the builder, and the builder than the captain himself, you
8understand the trust I repose in my Nautilus; for I am at once captain, builder, and engineer." "But how could you
9construct this wonderful Nautilus in secret?" "Each separate portion, M. Aronnax, was brought from different parts of
10the globe. The keel was forged at Creusot, the shaft of the screw at Penn & Co.'s, London, the iron plates of the hull
11at Laird's of Liverpool, the screw itself at Scott's at Glasgow. The reservoirs were made by Cail & Co. at Paris, the
12engine by Krupp in Prussia, its beak in Motala's workshop in Sweden, its mathematical instruments by Hart Brothers, of
13New York, etc.; and each of these people had my orders under different names." "But these parts had to be put together
14and arranged?" "Professor, I had set up my workshops upon a desert island in the ocean. There my workmen, that is to
15say, the brave men that I instructed and educated, and myself have put together our Nautilus. Then when the work was
16finished, fire destroyed all trace of our proceedings on this island, that I could have jumped over if I had liked."
17"Then the cost of this vessel is great?" "M. Aronnax, an iron vessel costs £45 per ton. Now the Nautilus weighed 1500.
18It came therefore to £67,500, and £80,000 more for fitting it up, and about £200,000 with the works of art and the
19collections it contains." "One last question, Captain Nemo." "Ask it, Professor." "You are rich?" "Immensely rich, sir;
20and I could, without missing it, pay the national debt of France." I stared at the singular person who spoke thus. Was
21he playing upon my credulity? The future would decide that.
