Part 6
The year 1866 is nearly at an end. The fleet of armed frigates sent out by Washington continue to scour the seven seas for the mysterious monster. The Admiralty in London thinks that the Americans may be mistaken. Perhaps the enormous Thing may not be a prehistoric monster but an unknown kind of machine which can move about underwater! A theory greeted everywhere with hoots of derision.
Professor Aronnax, Elbow, and Ned
Land, are believed drowned. But in fact they are on board the only submarine in the world, the Nautilus, prisoners of Captain Nemo, who explains how his vessel is worked by something called ' electricity.'
