1On each side a window opened into this unexplored abyss. The obscurity of the saloon showed to advantage the brightness
2outside, and we looked out as if this pure crystal had been the glass of an immense aquarium. "You wished to see, friend
3Ned; well, you see now." "Curious! curious!" muttered the Canadian, who, forgetting his ill-temper, seemed to submit to
4some irresistible attraction; "and one would come further than this to admire such a sight!" "Ah!" thought I to myself,
5"I understand the life of this man; he has made a world apart for himself, in which he treasures all his greatest
6wonders." For two whole hours an aquatic army escorted the Nautilus. During their games, their bounds, while rivalling
7each other in beauty, brightness, and velocity, I distinguished the green labre; the banded mullet, marked by a double
8line of black; the round-tailed goby, of a white colour, with violet spots on the back; the Japanese scombrus, a
9beautiful mackerel of those seas, with a blue body and silvery head; the brilliant azurors, whose name alone defies
10description; some banded spares, with variegated fins of blue and yellow; the woodcocks of the seas, some specimens of
11which attain a yard in length; Japanese salamanders, spider lampreys, serpents six feet long, with eyes small and
12lively, and a huge mouth bristling with teeth; with many other species. Our imagination was kept at its height,
13interjections followed quickly on each other. Ned named the fish, and Conseil classed them. I was in ecstasies with the
14vivacity of their movements and the beauty of their forms. Never had it been given to me to surprise these animals,
15alive and at liberty, in their natural element. I will not mention all the varieties which passed before my dazzled
16eyes, all the collection of the seas of China and Japan. These fish, more numerous than the birds of the air, came,
17attracted, no doubt, by the brilliant focus of the electric light. Suddenly there was daylight in the saloon, the iron
18panels closed again, and the enchanting vision disappeared. But for a long time I dreamt on till my eyes fell on the
19instruments hanging on the partition. The compass still showed the course to be N.N.E., the manometer indicated a
20pressure of five atmospheres, equivalent to a depth of twenty-five fathoms, and the electric log gave a speed of fifteen
21miles an hour. I expected Captain Nemo, but he did not appear. The clock marked the hour of five. Ned Land and Conseil
22returned to their cabin, and I retired to my chamber. My dinner was ready. It was composed of turtle soup made of the
23most delicate hawksbills, of a surmullet served with puff paste (the liver of which, prepared by itself, was most
24delicious), and fillets of the emperor-holocanthus, the savour of which seemed to me superior even to salmon. I passed
25the evening reading, writing, and thinking. Then sleep overpowered me, and I stretched myself on my couch of zostera,
26and slept profoundly, whilst the Nautilus was gliding rapidly through the current of the Black River.
