СКАЧАТЬ in my Nautilus; for I am at once captain, builder, and engineer."

      "But how could you construct this wonderful Nautilus in secret?"

      "Each separate portion, M. Aronnax, was brought from different parts of the globe."

      "But these parts had to be put together and arranged?"

      "Professor, I had set up my workshops upon a desert island in the ocean. There my workmen, that is to say, the brave men that I instructed and educated, and myself have put together our Nautilus. Then, when the work was finished, fire destroyed all trace of our proceedings on this island, that I could have jumped over if I had liked."

      "Then the cost of this vessel is great?"

      "M. Aronnax, an iron vessel costs L145 per ton. Now the Nautilus weighed 1,500. It came therefore to L67,500, and L80,000 more for fitting it up, and about L200,000, with the works of art and the collections it contains."

      "One last question, Captain Nemo."

      "Ask it, Professor."

      "You are rich?"

      "Immensely rich, sir; and I could, without missing it, pay the national debt of France."

      I stared at the singular person who spoke thus. Was he playing upon my credulity? The future would decide that.
