by JULES VERNE freely adapted as a serial in eight parts by Lance Sieveking
Part 4
It is autumn 1866. The gigantic, luminous sea monster that has been attacking ships turns out not to be a live creature, but is a submarine vessel, the only one of its kind in the world.
Professor Aronnax, his servant
Elbow, and Ned Land the harpooner were nearly drowned when their frigate was rammed, but they have been rescued by strange sailors whose language they do not recognise, and locked up inside the submarine.
When they ask the captain what his name is he replies that they may call him Nemo'-the Latin word for 'no one.' They are given strange foods, and even stranger clothes. Captain Nemo says that he will never allow them to return to the world of men. But he will show them sights such as no man has ever dreamed of: sights the imagination boggles at!

These views are challenged in this discussion by Hugh Trevor-Roper
