1"My brave Ned, that country is not clearly indicated on the map of the world; but I admit that the nationality of the
2two strangers is hard to determine. Neither English, French, nor German, that is quite certain. However, I am inclined
3to think that the commander and his companion were born in low latitudes. There is southern blood in them. But I cannot
4decide by their appearance whether they are Spaniards, Turks, Arabians, or Indians. As to their language, it is quite
5incomprehensible." "There is the disadvantage of not knowing all languages," said Conseil, "or the disadvantage of not
6having one universal language." As he said these words, the door opened. A steward entered. He brought us clothes, coats
7and trousers, made of a stuff I did not know. I hastened to dress myself, and my companions followed my example. During
8that time, the steward--dumb, perhaps deaf--had arranged the table, and laid three plates. "This is something like,"
9said Conseil. "Bah!" said the rancorous harpooner, "what do you suppose they eat here? Tortoise liver, filleted shark,
10and beefsteaks from sea-dogs." "We shall see," said Conseil. The dishes, of bell metal, were placed on the table, and we
11took our places. Undoubtedly we had to do with civilised people, and, had it not been for the electric light which
12flooded us, I could have fancied I was in the dining-room of the Adelphi Hotel at Liverpool, or at the Grand Hotel in
13Paris. I must say, however, that there was neither bread nor wine. The water was fresh and clear, but it was water, and
14did not suit Ned Land's taste. Amongst the dishes which were brought to us, I recognised several fish delicately
15dressed; but of some, although excellent, I could give no opinion, neither could I tell to what kingdom they belonged,
16whether animal or vegetable. As to the dinner service, it was elegant, and in perfect taste. Each utensil, spoon, fork,
17knife, plate, had a letter engraved on it, with a motto above it, of which this is an exact facsimile:-- MOBILIS IN
18MOBILI N. The letter N was no doubt the initial of the name of the enigmatical person, who commanded at the bottom of
19the sea. Ned and Conseil did not reflect much. They devoured the food, and I did likewise. I was, besides, reassured as
20to our fate; and it seemed evident that our hosts would not let us die of want. However, everything has an end,
21everything passes away, even the hunger of people who have not eaten for fifteen hours. Our appetites satisfied, we felt
22overcome with sleep. "Faith! I shall sleep well," said Conseil. "So shall I," replied Ned Land. My two companions
23stretched themselves on the cabin carpet, and were soon sound asleep. For my own part, too many thoughts crowded my
24brain, too many insoluble questions pressed upon me, too many fancies kept my eyes half open. Where were we? What
25strange power carried us on? I felt--or rather fancied I felt--the machine sinking down to the lowest beds of the sea.
26Dreadful nightmares beset me; I saw in these mysterious asylums a world of unknown animals, amongst which this submarine
27boat seemed to be of the same kind, living, moving, and formidable as they. Then my brain grew calmer, my imagination
28wandered into vague unconsciousness, and I soon fell into a deep sleep.
