1362How is that?
1362How long will you keep at it before you give up?
1362How so?
1362How soon do you think you can start?
1362How''s that, Ned?
1362I have a right to know that?
1362I wonder if I can help?
1362I wonder what he has on his mind now?
1362If there''s anything I can do?
1362Into what?
1362Is any one with him?
1362Is every bit of our reserve air used?
1362Is he the man who cheated your uncle?
1362Is it possible, Tom, that in our first circling that we covered any of the ground which we may cover now? 1362 Is it still producing?"
1362Is n''t it wealth abandoned at the bottom of the sea, and is n''t finding keeping?
1362Is that the man who cheated you on the oil- well deal?
1362Is there anything to try?
1362Is there anything wrong?
1362Is there?
1362It is n''t that you do n''t want the money, is it?
1362Just how much did she really have in gold?
1362Just what are you aiming to do?
1362Just what happened?
1362Mary, will you go with me to see your uncle? 1362 May I speak freely here?"
1362May not be? 1362 Not sharks?"
1362Oh, Tom, are you going to undertake another of those dangerous voyages?
1362Oh, so you have n''t given up the hunt, then?
1362Or Mr. Keith, either?
1362Perilous? 1362 Really?"
1362Scientific facts-- that childish play?
1362Something bad?
1362Submarine work? 1362 Suppose it''s Hardley up above there?"
1362Suppose you get in a similar position when you find the wreck of the Pandora? 1362 Then are n''t you friendly with the other man?"
1362Then do you know what I think?
1362Then what''s to be done?
1362Then why do n''t you admit you''re incompetent?
1362Then why is n''t she here?
1362Then will he get well?
1362Then you are going on with the voyage, Tom?
1362Then you have n''t made up your mind about going for the treasure?
1362Then you will undertake it?
1362Then you''ll go?
1362There''ll be room for this, wo n''t there?
1362Tom, if you could have any reward you wanted, what would it be?
1362Tom, what''s this?
1362We ca n''t move if it''s wound around our propellers, can we?
1362We''ll go to the dock in the auto, as usual, shall we not?
1362Well, Tom, what do you think of it?
1362Well, are we going off and leave the wreck-- and possibly other gold that may be hidden on her?
1362Well, are we really going this time, or are you going to delay again?
1362Well, how are you?
1362Well, if you are anxious to make money, as I admit I am,said Mr. Hardley,"why ca n''t you give me an answer now?"
1362Well, is n''t there any way of getting at this gold on the floor of the ocean?
1362Well, that was queer, was n''t it?
1362Well, what if you did?
1362Well, what then?
1362Well, what''s that got to do with us, Ned?
1362Were you frightened at the crash in the machine?
1362Were you thinking of going to Japan and taking a hand in the undersea search?
1362What are they, then?
1362What are they?
1362What are you going to do, Tom Swift?
1362What are you going to do, Tom?
1362What are you going to do, Tom?
1362What are you going to do, Tom?
1362What are you going to do?
1362What are you going to do?
1362What are you going to try, Tom?
1362What did you think was happening to you out there?
1362What do you mean?
1362What do you mean?
1362What do you mean?
1362What do you mean?
1362What do you mean?
1362What do you think of it-- and him?
1362What do you want of an axe?
1362What does he mean?
1362What has the oil well to do with recovering gold from the wreck?
1362What in the world can it be?

1362What is it?
1362What is it?
1362What is it?
1362What kind?
1362What makes it possible to see better?
1362What makes you think so?
1362What name did you say?
1362What same man?
1362What sort of monster is it?
1362What was it, Ned?
1362What was the matter, Tom?
1362What was?
1362What''d you do, Tom?
1362What''s on now, Tom?
1362What''s that?
1362What''s that?
1362What''s that?
1362What''s that?
1362What''s that?
1362What''s the idea?
1362What''s the matter, Earle?
1362What''s the matter?
1362What''s up, Tom?
1362What''s up?
1362What''s your principal objection?
1362What? 1362 What?"
1362When are we going to begin the real search for the gold?
1362Where are you going to land me?
1362Where is it?
1362Where was he during the trial?
1362Where would the treasure be, if she had any?
1362Where''d he get it?
1362Why are we in this position, and why do n''t we go on out to the open ocean and make a test at considerable depth? 1362 Why did n''t he?"
1362Why not call it the M. N. 1.? 1362 Why, Dad?"
1362Why, Dad?
1362Why?
1362Why?
1362Would n''t it be queer if we should discover two treasure ships?
1362Would you use the same submarine?
1362You do n''t easily get seasick, do you?
1362You have n''t heard anything from your uncle since last night, have you?
1362You mean about Dixwell Hardley?
1362You mean at the place of the wreck?
1362You mean she might interfere with our search for the treasure- ship?
1362You mean under water as we are now?
1362You say the submarine is nearly ready?
1362You were n''t worried, were you, after Ned telephoned?
1362After we have recovered it-- provided we are successful-- will not some person or some government lay claim to it?"
1362And if it''s that hard on the surface, where you can see what you''re doing, how much harder is it in regard to something on the bottom of the sea?
1362And what is to prevent them from making a search for the Pandora if they have not already done so?"
1362And yet it seems a shame to have all those millions going to waste, does n''t it?"
1362Are we in danger?"
1362But what about the title to this money?
1362But what sort of monster is it?"
1362But what''s that about a sudden swirl of water?"
1362But, Mary, are you sure it''s the same man?"
1362CHAPTER III THINKING IT OVER"Father, is that you?"
1362CHAPTER VIII THE MUD BANK"What''s that noise?"
1362CHAPTER XI BARTON KEITH''S STORY"What''s this Mary tells me, Tom?"
1362CHAPTER XIV IN STRANGE PERIL"What is it, Tom?
1362CHAPTER XVII WHERE IS IT?
1362Damon?"
1362Did I understand you to say, Mr. Damon, that-- er-- Mr. Hardley I believe the name is-- had a proposition to make to me?"
1362Did he pierce your suit?"
1362Do you realize how hard it is to find anything on the ocean, to say nothing of something under it?"
1362Do you realize, Mr. Hardley, what a large difference in miles a small error in nautical calculations makes?
1362Do you suppose he can be the same man who has so meanly treated my brother- in- law?"
1362Do you want to get right home?"
1362Does that appeal to you?"
1362Does that interest you?"
1362For he asked, casually enough:"Have we stopped?"
1362Hardley?"
1362Hardley?"
1362Has something gone wrong with one of the adding machines, or is it just on account of the heat?
1362Have you all the money you want?"
1362He''d know a picture of the Dixwell Hardley who, he claims, cheated him, would n''t he?"
1362He''s all right, is n''t he?"
1362How are you coming on, and when can we start on this treasure- hunting trip?
1362How many millions did you say?"
1362I mean has any of the wealth been recovered lately-- or is it in a way to be?"
1362I mean will the new circles we propose making coincide at any place with the previous ones?"
1362Is n''t that a good name?"
1362Is n''t there some way?
1362Is that gun ready?"
1362It was a little easier to breathe, lying on the tilted cabin floor, but how long could this be kept up?
1362Just where are you?"
1362Keith?"
1362Mary, half of it is yours, and if you do n''t let Tom Swift have a say in the spending of it-- Say, Mary, have you thanked him yet?"
1362May I speak now?"
1362Mr. Damon, do you want to go out?"
1362Ned, are you game for another try in the diving dress?
1362Ned, are you game for it now?
1362Nelson?"
1362No accident to the M. N. 1 is there?
1362Not going to pick up a million dollars off the floor of the ocean, Tom?
1362Now, are you game enough to continue the trip?"
1362Of course you kept the gyroscope rudder feature?"
1362Only when he and Mr. Damon were alone a little later the eccentric man said:"Tom will you ever forgive me for introducing you to such a pest?"
1362Perhaps you remember him?"
1362Swift, that the ship, set out with over two millions in gold on board?"
1362Swift?"
1362Swift?"
1362Swift?"
1362Swift?"
1362That will be a help in locating the wreck, wo n''t it?"
1362That''s fair, is n''t it?"
1362Then do you think you''ll go?"
1362Want to try?"
1362Well, would a million dollars clear profit appeal to you?"
1362What about my friend Hardley?
1362What do you mean?
1362What do you mean?"
1362What is it?"
1362What''s that?
1362What''s the big idea, anyhow?
1362Where do you get that stuff; as the boys say?
1362Where is he?"
1362Where is that wreck?"
1362Who knows?
1362Why did n''t your uncle clean up a fortune, to use a slang term?"
1362Why is it?"
1362Why should I?"
1362Will you call up Mary''s home and let them know she''s all right and that I''ll soon be home with her?
1362Will you go?"
1362Will you take a chance, Ned?"
1362You are n''t afraid to ride in that, are you?
1362You are n''t backing out now, at the last minute, are you?"
1362You have?
1362You invested considerable with Hardley, did n''t you?"
1362You wo n''t get up so easily, will you?"
1362You''ve had an accident?
1362are you standing her on her head?"
1362cried Mr. Damon,"does n''t that seem a foolish thing to do?"
1362cried Mr. Damon,"what in the world is that?"
1362cried Mr. Damon,"what is it all about, Tom Swift?"
1362cried Mr. Damon,"what''s the matter, Tom?"
1362exclaimed Mr. Damon,"but we ought to do something, Tom-- sing a song, make a speech or something, ought n''t we?"
1362exclaimed Mr. Damon,"this is n''t a marker compared to some of the sights we''ve seen, is it?"
1362exclaimed Mr. Damon,"what''s the matter now?"
1362exclaimed Mr. Damon,"what''s this, Tom Swift?
1362murmured Mr. Damon,"but is n''t there any way of getting fresh air?"
1362voiced Mr. Damon,"has anything happened, Tom?
1362what has happened?"
1362what''s the matter?"
1362why not?"
164A curious collection of poulps?
164Although he has already made them known?
164An accident?
164An island?
164And I can visit the celebrated islands where the Boussole and the Astrolabe struck?
164And could you tell me what everyone knows about it?
164And do you know,I added,"what has been the result since men have almost entirely annihilated this useful race?
164And he rests now, near his companions, in the coral cemetery?
164And if,he added,"the offer made you this day was never to be renewed, would you accept it?"
164And in that case?
164And my companions, Captain?
164And now, Ned, would you like to know what I think of your project?
164And once at the Cape of Good Hope?
164And our arms?
164And the Nautilus floating still?
164And the Papuans?
164And the canal in which we are at this moment?
164And the frigate?
164And the means of getting free?
164And the spot?
164And then?
164And these musicians?
164And these other instruments, the use of which I can not guess?
164And this Captain is not going to cast anchor at all since the tide will suffice?
164And this has happened-- how?
164And to what purpose?
164And was not its mouth like a parrot''s beak?
164And we shall see your companions at work?
164And which?
164And why this powerful organisation?
164And you attribute this colour to the presence of a microscopic seaweed?
164And you get then?
164And you were saying, sir?
164And you will try and save yourself by swimming?
164And you, M. Aronnax, are you going to dress yourself in those clothes?
164And your collections, sir?
164Are many pearls found in the same oyster?
164Are these cetaceans as large as those of the northern seas?
164Are these lenses capable of resisting such pressure?
164Are they apes?
164Are we at the pole?
164Are we not to put on our diver''s dresses?
164Are you a doctor?
164As to the fishing itself,I asked,"or the incidents, which?"
164Beneath it?
164Besides, Captain,I added, enthusiastically,"why should we not find the sea open at the South Pole as well as at the North?
164Boiling water?
164Broken?
164But Captain----"How many have you counted?
164But I and my companions are ready to keep this manuscript in store; and, if you will put us at liberty----"At liberty?
164But an incident that will oblige you perhaps to become an inhabitant of this land from which you flee?
164But are we floating?
164But can we not get the Nautilus off by emptying its reservoirs, that it might regain its equilibrium?
164But do they know, at least, how to act circumspectly? 164 But do you see, Professor,"replied our irascible companion,"that we shall absolutely die of hunger in this iron cage?"
164But how could you construct this wonderful Nautilus in secret?
164But how do you get back on board?
164But how much is true of these stories?
164But how shall we get off?
164But if they do not exist, mine obstinate harpooner, how explain the accident to the Scotia?
164But may I ask you one question?
164But not the air you breathe?
164But of what use is this refuge, Captain? 164 But the cause of this surprise?"
164But the sun?
164But then, when you wish to embark, you are obliged to come to the surface of the water?
164But these parts had to be put together and arranged?
164But this air must be rapidly used?
164But this isthmus is composed of nothing but quick sands?
164But to approach it,said the commander,"I ought to put a whaler at your disposal?"
164But what is the matter, my boy?
164But what is this volcanic mountain?
164But where does he take his millions to?
164But where shall we find him?
164But will the sun show himself through this fog?
164But, M. Aronnax,said Ned Land,"can you tell me how many men there are on board?
164But, friend Ned,said Conseil,"why do you not ask Captain Nemo''s permission to chase them?"
164But, sir,said Conseil,"can you tell me what causes such an effect?
164But,I asked,"has she at least come to the surface of the sea?"
164But,I exclaimed,"surely they can see that there are men in the case?"
164But,said Conseil,"is this pearl- fishery dangerous?"
164By the bye, M. Aronnax you are not afraid of sharks?
164By your orders?
164Can a whale- fisher ever forget his old trade, sir? 164 Can nothing save him?"
164Captain?
164Certainly not,said Conseil;"but will you tell us now by what means they extract these pearls?"
164Commander Farragut?
164Could there be fire on board?
164Could you tell me them, so that I can suit them to my purpose?
164Did I say sharks?
164Did it not measure about six yards?
164Did master sleep well?
164Did you call, sir?
164Did you discover this passage by chance?
164Did you hear?
164Did you know, sir,he asked, smiling,"that the sea contained such riches?"
164Did your study in the Museum afford you such perfect quiet?
164Do they fish for them in these days?
164Do you not understand,he replied,"that this congelation of water will help us?
164Do you think then, sir, that these riches are lost because I gather them? 164 Does master call me?"
164Electricity?
164Friend Ned, answer me frankly, are you tired of being on board? 164 Friend Ned,"asked Conseil,"what would you have said if the breakfast had been entirely forgotten?"
164Friend Ned,replied Conseil,"what harm can it do to the Nautilus?
164Further to the South?
164Had not its eyes, placed at the back of its head, considerable development?
164Has master been bitten?
164Have we struck anything?
164Have you any more to make?
164Have you discovered something that has escaped me, or has the sea delivered up any new secrets?
164Have you no need of my services, sir?
164He said nothing more?
164How do you know that?
164How long will the air in the reservoirs last for us to breathe on board?
164How many men are there on board the Nautilus, do you think?
164How, Conseil?
164How?
164I ask you, then, what you mean by this liberty?
164I suppose this condition is one which a man of honour may accept?
164I will only ask you one thing, Captain-- how can you light your road at the bottom of the sea?
164In how many centuries?
164In the museum at Quebec?
164In the port?
164In the water?
164In whose name, Captain?
164Indeed?
164Is Conseil going to risk it?
164Is he ill?
164Is it possible?
164Is it you?
164Is that all? 164 Is the danger immediate?"
164Is the dugong dangerous to attack?
164Is the steam full on?
164It is true,said I;"but were not their fears exaggerated?"
164Its head,rejoined Conseil,"was it not crowned with eight tentacles, that beat the water like a nest of serpents?"
164Leave my master? 164 M. Aronnax, will you consent to prescribe for one of my men?"
164M. Aronnax,said he,"are you ready to start?"
164Man to beast?
164Master, will you permit me to wish you a happy New Year?
164May I ask, sir, the cause of this accident?
164Monsieur Pierre Aronnax?
164Mussels too?
164My book?
164Ned Land,asked the commander,"you have often heard the roaring of whales?"
164Now, Ned, we listen; what have you to tell us?
164Now, Ned, what do you miss now?
164On which side?
164Our course is barred southward?
164Professor, will it be convenient to you to make a submarine excursion to- day?
164Propose, Captain?
164Really?
164Serious?
164Sir,I cried,"are you going to attack this vessel?"
164Sir,continued Ned,"let us suppose an impossibility: if Captain Nemo should this day offer you your liberty; would you accept it?"
164Sir,said Conseil,"will you tell me the names of these creatures?"
164Sir,said Conseil,"would you give us some details of the pearl fishery?"
164Sir,said the commander,"you have steam up?"
164So you are astonished, Professor, at having set foot on a strange land and finding savages? 164 So, Captain Nemo, it is not the first time you have overrun the Red Sea on board the Nautilus?"
164So, M. Aronnax, you really think that the Nautilus can not disengage itself?
164So, sir,I rejoined,"you give us simply the choice between life and death?"
164So,he said,"no one knows now where the third vessel perished that was constructed by the castaways on the island of Vanikoro?"
164So,said Conseil,"we have slept twenty- four hours?"
164So,said I,"all these eatables are the produce of the sea?"
164Suppose we do not return to the Nautilus this evening?
164Suppose we never return?
164Tell me, Ned,said I,"can you recognise what country she belongs to?"
164That is true, M. Aronnax,replied the Captain;"but I think you have serious reasons for wishing to see me?"
164That shock threw you as well as me into the sea?
164The Nautilus has brought us to Vanikoro?
164The Nautilus has stranded?
164The Papuans?
164The entrance can not be easy?
164The frigate?
164The price of these pearls varies according to their size?
164Then one may smoke on board?
164Then the cost of this vessel is great?
164Then what do you hope for?
164Then, sir, you suppose that they will board us?
164These creatures are not dangerous?
164Unintentionally?
164Was it unintentionally that the Abraham Lincoln pursued me all over the seas? 164 We are blocked up then?"
164We are going backwards?
164We are not returning to Paris, then?
164Well, Captain, can we be delivered before forty- eight hours?
164Well, Master Land?
164Well, Mr. Land,asked the captain,"do you advise me to put the boats out to sea?"
164Well, Ned, do you wish me to ask Captain Nemo his intentions concerning us?
164Well, Ned,said I,"is it possible that you are not convinced of the existence of this cetacean that we are following?
164Well, Sir Naturalist,said the Canadian, in a slightly jovial tone,"and the Mediterranean?"
164Well, and you, Conseil, what do you think of sharks?
164Well, have I convinced you?
164Well, have I not my Rouquayrol reservoir, which can furnish it at need? 164 Well, sir, does this Red Sea please you?
164Well, sir,asked the Canadian,"can I not chase them, if only to remind me of my old trade of harpooner?"
164Well, sir?
164Well, sir?
164Well, sir?
164Well, why should there be any more?
164Well,said Conseil,"after all this, are we going right?"
164Well?
164Well?
164Well?
164Well?
164Were you thrown into the sea by the shock to the frigate?
164What are they, Captain?
164What are you going to do?
164What bipeds?
164What caused this wound?
164What country is it?
164What did you see?
164What discovery?
164What do you mean by those words?
164What do you mean?
164What do you suppose, then?
164What does it matter, some hours more or less, provided we get out at last?
164What does it signify?
164What does one risk in such a calling?
164What does that mean?
164What if some volcanic burst should one day raise these two barriers above the waves?
164What is it, Captain?
164What is it?
164What is it?
164What is that ship, Ned?
164What is that, sir?
164What is that, sir?
164What is the fact?
164What is the matter, Conseil?
164What is the matter, sir?
164What is the matter?
164What is this vessel?
164What is this vessel?
164What is to be done, Ned, since flight is impracticable just now?
164What length was it?
164What shall we do then?
164What time is it now?
164What will you do then?
164What, Ned,said I,"you have not forgotten your old ideas of fishing?"
164What, sir?
164Whatever Ned Land thinks of, attempts, or tries, what does it matter to me? 164 When shall we be there?"
164When shall we go?
164Where and when?
164Where are we, where are we?
164Where are we?
164Where are we?
164Where could one find greater solitude or silence, Professor?
164Where did that sound come from?
164Where, pray, might that be?
164Who denies you this right? 164 Who told you that she would make the round of Africa and double the Cape of Good Hope, sir?"
164Why not?
164Why, Captain?
164Why, Conseil?
164Why, Ned, why?
164Why?
164Why?
164Will master come here a moment?
164Will master let me make a slit?
164Will master permit me to make a recommendation?
164Will master risk it?
164Will master tell me what this means?
164Will the curve please you, sir?
164Will they not come inside the Nautilus?
164Will you allow me to make one observation, sir?
164Will you be so good then as to put on your cork jackets?
164With my companions?
164With your own eyes?
164Without my perceiving it?
164Would you like to carry away more than the remembrance?
164Yes, sir; does that astonish you?
164Yes; but what is to be done?
164Yes; where are we?
164You are following the chain of events?
164You are not coming, Captain?
164You are rich?
164You can reduce it as you please, then?
164You do not know? 164 You do not understand?"
164You have never fished in these seas, Ned?
164You have no further doubt, captain, of the nature of the animal?
164You have turned full steam on?
164You know him, Captain?
164You like the sea, Captain?
164You saw that?
164You see that enclosed bay? 164 You think so?"
164You understand then, sir,continued the stranger,"that I have the right to treat you as enemies?"
164You will not do that?
164Your men follow the trade of miners here, then, Captain?
164A quarter of an hour after, Conseil, approaching me, said,"Is what you are reading very interesting, sir?"
164After having shown the Canadian a glimpse of American shores, was he going to show me the coast of France?
164Am I asking too much?"
164And does he still follow under the ocean those frightful retaliations?
164And how do you maintain yourselves in the requisite medium?
164And now, Ned, will you tell me what you mean by a favourable opportunity?"
164And now, how can I retrace the impression left upon me by that walk under the waters?
164And to the question asked by Ecclesiastes three thousand years ago,"That which is far off and exceeding deep, who can find it out?"
164And what are 900 feet to the Nautilus?"
164And would not my four months''silence appear to him a tacit acceptance of our situation?
164And you think that I am going to send you back to that world which must know me no more?
164And, indeed, unless this shoal had a machine in its stomach, how could it change its position with such astonishing rapidity?
164And, indeed, who would have disputed with him the possession of this submarine property?
164And, must I say it----?"
164Another time we must succeed; and to- night, if necessary----""In what direction is the Nautilus going?"
164Are you sorry that destiny has thrown us into Captain Nemo''s hands?"
164Aronnax?"
164Aronnax?"
164Aronnax?"
164Besides, are they worse than others, these whom you call savages?"
164Besides, how attack this unknown thing, how defend one''s self from it?
164But at this moment who knows if we may not be frightfully crushed between the two glassy surfaces?
164But did I not see an opening at its summit?"
164But for some minutes I involuntarily confounded the genera, taking animals for plants; and who would not have been mistaken?
164But how admit that the construction of this submarine boat had escaped the public eye?
164But how can the steersman follow the route in the middle of the waters?"
164But how shall we gain the bottom of the sea?"
164But now, about your rencontre with the Abraham Lincoln?"
164But this long iron cylinder anchored in the bay, without masts or chimneys, what could they think of it?
164But was I free to claim this liberty?
164But what has become of the Nautilus?
164But what was this portion of the globe which had been swallowed by cataclysms?
164But what was to be done?
164But what were these fatigues, what did the wounds matter?
164But who knows if it would be well received?
164But your opinion as to his state?"
164But, Captain, since you seem to have especially studied this sea, can you tell me the origin of its name?"
164But, after all, in order to see, the light must exceed the darkness, and in the midst of the darkness in the water, how can you see?"
164By the bye,"said I, trying to take Captain Nemo''s careless tone,"are you afraid of sharks, brave Ned?"
164CHAPTER XV ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT?
164Can he ever tire of the emotions caused by such a chase?"
164Can it attack it beneath the waves?
164Can it give heat to a dead body?"
164Can its cannonade us at the bottom of the sea?"
164Can you understand now the source of the millions I am worth?"
164Captain Nemo, whom I hoped to meet, would he be there?
164Captain,"I answered,"where are we?"
164Certain of the fact, I asked myself was it possible that there was no communication between the two seas?
164Confound it, why am I bound to these steel plates?"
164Conseil; exactly as if I was at Paris in my study at the Jardin des Plantes?
164Could I hide the involuntary horror with which he inspired me?
164Could I retract my word, and take upon myself the responsibility of compromising the future of my companions?
164Could it have been aught but a shipwreck which had drawn it under the water?
164Could not you, sir, estimate their maximum?"
164Could we not break it?
164Could you not use some other means?
164Did Captain Nemo distrust us in these frequented seas?
164Did he alone represent France in this mysterious association, evidently composed of individuals of divers nationalities?
164Did he hesitate to speak?
164Did he regret the words which he had just spoken in French?
164Did he wish to reach the pole?
164Did he wish to wait until night, and leave the submarine passage secretly?
164Did it move, did it float on the surface of the ocean, or did it dive into its depths?
164Did it resist the pressure of the maelstrom?
164Did the Nautilus dare entangle itself in the Manche?
164Did this hatred still seek for vengeance?
164Did this incomprehensible person imagine that I had discovered some forbidden secret?
164Did you catch a glimpse of the towns on its borders?"
164Do not mountaineers attack the bear with a dagger in their hand, and is not steel surer than lead?
164Do you accept this condition?"
164Do you follow all this?"
164Do you know the history of Spain?"
164Do you know the history of Spain?"
164Do you mean the year that will bring us to the end of our imprisonment, or the year that sees us continue this strange voyage?"
164Do you not perceive that it would be an agent of safety instead of destruction?"
164Do you not see a mass which seems to move?"
164Do you not understand?"
164Do you see, M. Aronnax, about eight miles to leeward, those blackish moving points?"
164Do you think I am ignorant that there are suffering beings and oppressed races on this earth, miserable creatures to console, victims to avenge?
164Does Captain Nemo still live?
164For what cause?
164For what good would it be to discuss such a proposition, when force could destroy the best arguments?
164From that day, who could tell into what part of the North Atlantic basin the Nautilus would take us?
164From whence came this precious metal, which represented an enormous sum?
164Had I unwittingly provoked this fit of anger?
164Had he fanned this flame?
164Had he seen the vessel which was changing its course and seemed to be nearing us?
164Had he some recollections of his abandoned country?
164Had he succumbed?
164Had it fled?
164Had it gone back to the motionless bed of water?
164Had it struck on a submerged rock, or on an enormous wreck?
164Had the Abraham Lincoln veered round?
164Had the Nautilus quitted the surface of the ocean?
164Had the crew seen me disappear?
164Had they discovered our flight?
164Had we risen to the surface of the waves?
164Have I ever tried to chain you with an oath?"
164Have I not lived ten months of this unnatural life?
164Have I not understood it myself?
164Have you any particular reason for being so incredulous?"
164Have you sufficiently observed the wonders it covers, its fishes, its zoophytes, its parterres of sponges, and its forests of coral?
164How can I express it?
164How could I answer?
164How could I be otherwise?
164How do you get to the great depths, where you find an increasing resistance, which is rated by hundreds of atmospheres?
164How do you return to the surface of the ocean?
164How would the commander of this floating dwelling- place proceed?
164How would you have me manufacture gun powder on board, without either saltpetre, sulphur, or charcoal?"
164How, then, could we decide whether we had reached the pole?
164However, ought I to have been astonished at the answer?
164I had thought well over it; but of what good was that, since the carbonic acid produced by our respiration had invaded every part of the vessel?
164I knew not what to think, when a voice near me said:"Is that you, Professor?"
164I leave you at liberty to shut yourself up; can not I be allowed the same?"
164I now ask you if the boarding of the Nautilus and of the Scotia, that has made such a noise, has been the result of a chance rencontre?"
164I rose and said to him:"So, as I said he would, this man died in the night?"
164If not, what did he feel?
164If this energetic man could have reflected during the last moments of his life, what must have been uppermost in his last thoughts, do you suppose?"
164If you were asked to hunt the lion in the plains of Atlas, or the tiger in the Indian jungles, what would you say?
164In the long black body, moving between wind and water, did they not see some formidable cetacean that they regarded with suspicion?
164Is it for myself alone, according to your idea, that I take the trouble to collect these treasures?
164Is it not, Ned?"
164It then came into my head to ask Captain Nemo if he had ever discovered that pole which had never yet been trodden by a human creature?
164Land?"
164May I be excused for saying that I was forty years old?
164Might I hope to be saved?
164My obstinate companion had given me no time; and, after all, what could I have said to him?
164Ned and Conseil seated themselves on an ottoman, and the first thing the Canadian asked was:"Sir, what is a pearl?"
164Now, if you were invited to hunt the bear in the mountains of Switzerland, what would you say?
164Now, what was Ned Land''s opinion upon the question of the marine monster?
164On the night when we were imprisoned in that cell, in the midst of the Indian Ocean, had he not attacked some vessel?
164Only, I will ask you what you mean by a` Happy New Year''under our circumstances?
164Or even( for this thought crossed my brain) had the hand of man aught to do with this conflagration?
164Or rather was it a boat from the frigate, that was hailing us in the darkness?
164Or, did he stop after the last hecatomb?
164Perhaps he still hesitated?
164Remorse or regret?
164Shall I be believed when I say that, at the depth of thirty feet, I could see as if I was in broad daylight?
164Shall I be believed?
164Shall I ever know the name of this man?
164Should I ever again have such an opportunity of observing the wonders of the ocean?
164Should I find down there a whole colony of exiles who, weary of the miseries of this earth, had sought and found independence in the deep ocean?
164Should we explore those unknown seas, the White Sea, the Sea of Kara, the Gulf of Obi, the Archipelago of Liarrov, and the unknown coast of Asia?
164So I contented myself with saying:"By what name ought I to address you?"
164Ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred?"
164The Captain had been observing our situation for some time past, when he said to me:"Well, sir, what do you think of this?"
164The globe began with sea, so to speak; and who knows if it will not end with it?
164The man buried in the coral cemetery, had he not been a victim to the shock caused by the Nautilus?
164Then would he descend to the south?
164Then, addressing me as if to chase away some sorrowful thought:"M. Aronnax,"he asked,"do you know the depth of the ocean?"
164This dial with movable needle is a manometer, is it not?"
164To the north or south?
164To the pole?
164To what point of the continent?
164Was Captain Nemo going to land on the British Isles?
164Was I free again or a prisoner?
164Was I going towards a natural phenomenon as yet unknown to the_ savants_ of the earth?
164Was I mistaken?
164Was I to meet in these depths companions and friends of Captain Nemo whom he was going to visit, and who, like him, led this strange existence?
164Was he asking them the secret of human destiny?
164Was he dreaming of those generations long since disappeared?
164Was he going to double the Cape of Good Hope, then Cape Horn, and finally go as far as the Antarctic pole?
164Was he playing upon my credulity?
164Was it a confession of remorse which thus escaped from this man''s conscience?
164Was it destined to perish in this ice- tomb, with all those it enclosed?
164Was it here this strange man came to steep himself in historical recollections, and live again this ancient life-- he who wanted no modern one?
164Was it his proxim ity to European shores?
164Was it still night?
164Was it the effect of the lunar rays?
164Was it the voice of another unfortunate creature, abandoned in the middle of the ocean, some other victim of the shock sustained by the vessel?
164Was it unintentionally that Mr. Ned Land struck me with his harpoon?"
164Was it unintentionally that you took passage in this frigate?
164Was it unintentionally that your cannon- balls rebounded off the plating of my vessel?
164Was the Nautilus being drawn into this gulf at the moment our boat was going to leave its sides?
164Was this singular man ill?--had he altered his intentions with regard to us?
164We might be suffocated before the Nautilus could regain the surface of the waves?
164Well, have you had a good hunt, have you botanised successfully?"
164Were his companions dead with him?
164Were they the prayers of the dead, murmured in that language that I could not understand?
164Were we free of the iceberg?
164Were we going to emerge and regain the open polar atmosphere?
164What became of the whales in that time?
164What change had come over him?
164What could I have said to him?
164What could he be looking for on that immense expanse?
164What could sadden him thus?
164What cuirass, however thick, could withstand the blows of his spur?
164What do you want?"
164What for?
164What had he seen?
164What has he to do here?
164What irritated this mollusc?
164What is Ned Land doing?"
164What kind of beings existed in this strange boat?
164What mechanical agent caused its prodigious speed?
164What other hardier pioneer would come, hatchet in hand, to cut down the dark copses?
164What pen can describe it?
164What strange power carried us on?
164What vessel could resist the shock of his submarine monitor?
164What was Captain Nemo thinking of?
164What was he doing at this moment?
164What was the good of damping the energy they displayed in the painful work of escape?
164What was the matter?
164What was this vessel?
164What was, then, the mystery of this submarine craft, of which the whole world vainly sought an explanation?
164What would Conseil say?
164Where did the Captain gather this gold from?
164Where was Captain Nemo taking us to?
164Where was Captain Nemo?
164Where was I?
164Where was I?
164Where was I?
164Where was he going to?
164Where was the man flying to after such dreadful retaliation?
164Where were we going now, and what was reserved for the future?
164Where were we?
164Where were we?
164Where would the fancy of Captain Nemo carry us next?
164Where, when, and how was it built?
164Whither had Captain Nemo''s fancy hurried me?
164Whither was it going?
164Who could have told that such a hurricane had been let loose on the surface of that ocean?
164Who could reach you in the heart of a volcano?
164Who could rescue him from that powerful pressure?
164Who could then foresee the minimum of time necessary for our deliverance?
164Who had ever heard of such a thing?
164Who had placed those rocks and stones like cromlechs of prehistoric times?
164Who knows but by to- morrow we may be a hundred leagues away?
164Who knows if, in another hundred years, we may not see a second Nautilus?
164Who knows that they will not listen to us?
164Who knows where the winds will carry this case, and in whose hands it will fall?
164Who then would dare to pursue him at the bottom of the sea, when, on its surface, he defied all attempts made against him?
164Who told you that I did not make a good use of it?
164Who under such circumstances would not have taken it for a gigantic cetacean?
164Who was Captain Nemo''s correspondent?
164Whom had we to deal with?
164Why could I not communicate to Conseil the lively sensations which were mounting to my brain, and rival him in expressions of admiration?
164Why did the Nautilus visit its tomb?
164Why had our incomprehensible guide led us to the bottom of this submarine crypt?
164Why should we be unable to preserve a remembrance of them?"
164Will the missing vessel tell us by its nationality that of Captain Nemo?
164Will the waves one day carry to him this manuscript containing the history of his life?
164Will you be kind enough to listen to me?"
164Would chance bring me to his presence before our departure?
164Would he come back at last to the Pacific, where his Nautilus could sail free and independently?
164Would he return to the coast of Asia or would he approach again the shores of Europe?
164Would it suit you to see them in the darkness of the night?"
164Would it touch at Spitzbergen, or on the shores of Nova Zembla?
164Would not jets of boiling water, constantly injected by the pumps, raise the temperature in this part and stay the congelation?"
164Would not that be my right?"
164Would the captain put out a boat?
164Would you like to know the opinion of a chronicler of the fourteenth century?"
164You do not fear, I imagine, that these gentlemen could stave in walls on which the balls of your frigate have had no effect?"
164You have eaten none, master?"
164You will be ready, sir?"
164You, a man- eater?
164and from what country?"
164and how could its construction have been kept secret?
164and what was he going to do with it?
164asked I;"our guns?"
164do you not see that the cannibal has commenced the attack?"
164exclaimed the Captain,"do you wish to be pierced by the spur of the Nautilus before it is hurled at this vessel?"
164have you a boat?"
164is that a fact?"
164it is you, Professor?
164my brave Ned, do you know how many square inches you carry on the surface of your body?"
164my good fellow?
164or did he only wish to hide himself from the numerous vessels, of all nations, which ploughed the Mediterranean?
164replied the Canadian;"a harpooner by profession?
164said Captain Nemo quietly,"they are come with their canoes?"
164said Conseil;"cuttlefish, real cuttlefish of the cephalopod class?"
164said I,"you know?"
164said I,"you?"
164said Ned Land,"and where shall we be in six months, if you please, Sir Naturalist?"
164said Ned Land,"the swallowing of some mouthfuls of sea- water?"
164said the angry harpooner,"what do you suppose they eat here?
164such a passage exists?"
164then the gentleman is going on terra firma?"
164we must renounce for ever seeing our country, our friends, our relations again?"
164what are you saying?
164where are there not any?
