1For a part of the night the novelty of the situation kept us at the window. The sea was lit with the electric lantern;
2but it was deserted; fishes did not sojourn in these imprisoned waters; they only found there a passage to take them
3from the Antarctic Ocean to the open polar sea. Our pace was rapid; we could feel it by the quivering of the long steel
4body. About two in the morning I took some hours' repose, and Conseil did the same. In crossing the waist I did not meet
5Captain Nemo: I supposed him to be in the pilot's cage. The next morning, the 19th of March, I took my post once more in
6the saloon. The electric log told me that the speed of the Nautilus had been slackened. It was then going towards the
7surface; but prudently emptying its reservoirs very slowly. My heart beat fast. Were we going to emerge and regain the
8open polar atmosphere? No! A shock told me that the Nautilus had struck the bottom of the iceberg, still very thick,
9judging from the deadened sound. We had in deed "struck," to use a sea expression, but in an inverse sense, and at a
10thousand feet deep. This would give three thousand feet of ice above us; one thousand being above the water-mark. The
11iceberg was then higher than at its borders--not a very reassuring fact. Several times that day the Nautilus tried
12again, and every time it struck the wall which lay like a ceiling above it. Sometimes it met with but 900 yards, only
13200 of which rose above the surface. It was twice the height it was when the Nautilus had gone under the waves. I
14carefully noted the different depths, and thus obtained a submarine profile of the chain as it was developed under the
15water. That night no change had taken place in our situation. Still ice between four and five hundred yards in depth! It
16was evidently diminishing, but, still, what a thickness between us and the surface of the ocean! It was then eight.
17According to the daily custom on board the Nautilus, its air should have been renewed four hours ago; but I did not
18suffer much, although Captain Nemo had not yet made any demand upon his reserve of oxygen. My sleep was painful that
19night; hope and fear besieged me by turns: I rose several times. The groping of the Nautilus continued. About three in
20the morning, I noticed that the lower surface of the iceberg was only about fifty feet deep. One hundred and fifty feet
21now separated us from the surface of the waters. The iceberg was by degrees becoming an ice-field, the mountain a plain.
22My eyes never left the manometer. We were still rising diagonally to the surface, which sparkled under the electric
23rays. The iceberg was stretching both above and beneath into lengthening slopes; mile after mile it was getting thinner.
24At length, at six in the morning of that memorable day, the 19th of March, the door of the saloon opened, and Captain
25Nemo appeared. "The sea is open!" was all he said.
