1I looked to the port side, and saw nothing but an immensity of quiet waters. But to starboard, on the bottom appeared a
2large protuberance, which at once attracted my attention. One would have thought it a ruin buried under a coating of
3white shells, much resembling a covering of snow. Upon examining the mass attentively, I could recognise the
4ever-thickening form of a vessel bare of its masts, which must have sunk. It certainly belonged to past times. This
5wreck, to be thus encrusted with the lime of the water, must already be able to count many years passed at the bottom of
6the ocean. What was this vessel? Why did the Nautilus visit its tomb? Could it have been aught but a shipwreck which had
7drawn it under the water? I knew not what to think, when near me in a slow voice I heard Captain Nemo say: "At one time
8this ship was called the Marseillais. It carried seventy-four guns, and was launched in 1762. In 1778, the 13th of
9August, commanded by La Poype-Vertrieux, it fought boldly against the Preston. In 1779, on the 4th of July, it was at
10the taking of Grenada, with the squadron of Admiral Estaing. In 1781, on the 5th of September, it took part in the
11battle of Comte de Grasse, in Chesapeake Bay. In 1794, the French Republic changed its name. On the 16th of April, in
12the same year, it joined the squadron of Villaret Joyeuse, at Brest, being entrusted with the escort of a cargo of corn
13coming from America, under the command of Admiral Van Stebel. On the 11th and 12th Prairal of the second year, this
14squadron fell in with an English vessel. Sir, to-day is the 13th Prairal, the first of June, 1868. It is now
15seventy-four years ago, day for day on this very spot, in latitude 47° 24′, longitude 17° 28′, that this vessel, after
16fighting heroically, losing its three masts, with the water in its hold, and the third of its crew disabled, preferred
17sinking with its 356 sailors to surrendering; and, nailing its colours to the poop, disappeared under the waves to the
18cry of 'Long live the Republic!'" "The Avenger!" I exclaimed. "Yes, sir, the Avenger! A good name!" muttered Captain
19Nemo, crossing his arms.
