Another
effect
I
noticed
,
which
was
the
passage
of
thick
clouds
which
formed
and
vanished
rapidly
;
but
on
reflection
I
understood
that
these
seeming
clouds
were
due
to
the
varying
thickness
of
the
reeds
at
the
bottom
,
and
I
could
even
see
the
fleecy
foam
which
their
broken
tops
multiplied
on
the
water
,
and
the
shadows
of
large
birds
passing
above
our
heads
,
whose
rapid
flight
I
could
discern
on
the
surface
of
the
sea
.
752
On
this
occasion
I
was
witness
to
one
of
the
finest
gun
shots
which
ever
made
the
nerves
of
a
hunter
thrill
.
A
large
bird
of
great
breadth
of
wing
,
clearly
visible
,
approached
,
hovering
over
us
.
Captain
Nemo
's
companion
shouldered
his
gun
and
fired
,
when
it
was
only
a
few
yards
above
the
waves
.
The
creature
fell
stunned
,
and
the
force
of
its
fall
brought
it
within
the
reach
of
dexterous
hunter
's
grasp
.
It
was
an
albatross
of
the
finest
kind
.
753
Our
march
had
not
been
interrupted
by
this
incident
.
For
two
hours
we
followed
these
sandy
plains
,
then
fields
of
algae
very
disagreeable
to
cross
.
Candidly
,
I
could
do
no
more
when
I
saw
a
glimmer
of
light
,
which
,
for
a
half
mile
,
broke
the
darkness
of
the
waters
.
It
was
the
lantern
of
the
Nautilus
.
Before
twenty
minutes
were
over
we
should
be
on
board
,
and
I
should
be
able
to
breathe
with
ease
,
for
it
seemed
that
my
reservoir
supplied
air
very
deficient
in
oxygen
.
But
I
did
not
reckon
on
an
accidental
meeting
which
delayed
our
arrival
for
some
time
.

I
had
remained
some
steps
behind
,
when
I
presently
saw
Captain
Nemo
coming
hurriedly
towards
me
.
With
his
strong
hand
he
bent
me
to
the
ground
,
his
companion
doing
the
same
to
Conseil
.
At
first
I
knew
not
what
to
think
of
this
sudden
attack
,
but
I
was
soon
reassured
by
seeing
the
Captain
lie
down
beside
me
,
and
remain
immovable
.
755
I
was
stretched
on
the
ground
,
just
under
the
shelter
of
a
bush
of
algae
,
when
,
raising
my
head
,
I
saw
some
enormous
mass
,
casting
phosphorescent
gleams
,
pass
blusteringly
by
.
756
My
blood
froze
in
my
veins
as
I
recognised
two
formidable
sharks
which
threatened
us
.
757
It
was
a
couple
of
tintoreas
,
terrible
creatures
,
with
enormous
tails
and
a
dull
glassy
stare
,
the
phosphorescent
matter
ejected
from
holes
pierced
around
the
muzzle
.
Monstrous
brutes
!
which
would
crush
a
whole
man
in
their
iron
jaws
.
I
did
not
know
whether
Conseil
stopped
to
classify
them
;
for
my
part
,
I
noticed
their
silver
bellies
,
and
their
huge
mouths
bristling
with
teeth
,
from
a
very
unscientific
point
of
view
,
and
more
as
a
possible
victim
than
as
a
naturalist
.

Happily
the
voracious
creatures
do
not
see
well
.
They
passed
without
seeing
us
,
brushing
us
with
their
brownish
fins
,
and
we
escaped
by
a
miracle
from
a
danger
certainly
greater
than
meeting
a
tiger
full-face
in
the
forest
.
Half
an
hour
after
,
guided
by
the
electric
light
we
reached
the
Nautilus
.
The
outside
door
had
been
left
open
,
and
Captain
Nemo
closed
it
as
soon
as
we
had
entered
the
first
cell
.
He
then
pressed
a
knob
.
I
heard
the
pumps
working
in
the
midst
of
the
vessel
,
I
felt
the
water
sinking
from
around
me
,
and
in
a
few
moments
the
cell
was
entirely
empty
.
The
inside
door
then
opened
,
and
we
entered
the
vestry
.
759
There
our
diving-dress
was
taken
off
,
not
without
some
trouble
,
and
,
fairly
worn
out
from
want
of
food
and
sleep
,
I
returned
to
my
room
,
in
great
wonder
at
this
surprising
excursion
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea
.
760
The
next
morning
,
the
18th
of
November
,
I
had
quite
recovered
from
my
fatigues
of
the
day
before
,
and
I
went
up
on
to
the
platform
,
just
as
the
second
lieutenant
was
uttering
his
daily
phrase
.
