La isla misteriosa Page #10

No. l'll go and get some help.

Harbert!

Come back Harbert!

l've got him!

What happened?

Harbert ran away!

He wants to get help.

Jupiter is hurt. Help me.

l want to give you back your cube!

l want to give you back your cube!

l'm a friend l just want to give it back to you!

See they are not mad at us Top.

Come we'll look for the entrance.

Be a good boy.

lt looks like the poor boy is going to die.

What do you want?

That's it. - Hopefully we will have a chance

to tell Harbert that Jupiter has died to save him.

Harbert has managed to get through to the others!

They are on our side!

Maybe it was just an accident?

No. Look!

Harvey tries to escape!

But what if he runs into Harbert?! Quick!

l think Bob Harvey has got enough.

Possible.

But maybe he's only trying to ambush us.

We've got to keep close together.

- Let's go.

That's what their weapons look like.

l've assumed something like this

but l couldn't believe it.

We are already that close they could easily kill us.

Why don't they shoot at us?

- l think we'll soon find out.

- Yes.

lt's completely unbelievable

that humans are able to control lightning.

- And they did well.

- l just hope that they are not dead.

And Harbert too.

Over here Sir!

lt looks like a vulcanic grotto.

The roof came down

because of the volcanic eruption.

There's a path over there.

Maybe it leads to our mysterious saviors.

Music!

Do you hear it?

Yes. A woman is singing.

And there's a light over there.

That's where they live.

But the music? What does it mean?

What do they sing?

lt's italian.

Quiet. Let me listen!

How did you get in here?

- Please excuse our intrusion.

But we're looking for Harbert.

- lf Top is here...

- Harbert is well. But please answer my question.

We've discovered a secret passage.

- l think one of the pirates is still alive.

- Yes. Bob Harvey.

lf you were able to get here he will do as well.

Don't move or l'll shoot!

What's the matter with you Pencroff?

- Wait a minute.

These are the big underwater windows.

The organ!

Exactly like in the song.

We are on board the Nautilus

and this is Captain Nemo!

That is correct.

And you are a pirate! A bandit!

That's said in the song!

Put down your rifle Pencroff!

Do l have to remind you that Captain Nemo has

saved our lives?

But didn't you notice that he has alarmed his men?

There they are.

What did you tell him?

l have sent him to the bridge to keep watch.

l have put a deadly protective barrier around the

Nautilus.

But most of it has been destroyed.

And l have to save energy.

Pencroff! - l don't believe a word you say!

You have sent him to get your crew.

This one is my entire crew Pencroff.

Five men were left.

Three died when they blew up the pirate ship.

The one who was with me at the beach

bleeded to death.

When l arrived at this island 10 years ago

my crew consisted of 30 men.

Most of them died at the volcanic

eruption six years ago.

The others one of which you have found Mr. Smith

became victims of an apidemic.

Where is Harbert?

Come with me.

Harbert!

Don't worry he's just sleeping.

He has drunk the drink of oblivion.

But since you are all here he should wake up.

Turn him up Pencroff.

The drink of oblivion.

Now l understand.

But it's unbelievable! - You drank it as well Mr. Smith

when we have rescued you.

- l apologize for my behaviour. lt was all the fault of

this stupid canadian sailor.

- Mr. Pencroff. Ned Land was a good man. A bit

simple minded though.

- Does it mean that the author of this masterpiece

served on board your ship?

- Yes. And l was relieved when l heard that he

survived his escape

with Prof. Aronnax and his servant Conseil.

Did you hear me singing?

Often enough Pencroff.

Give him some time.

ln a few minutes he will wake up.

l have never seen anything like this before.

- Neither have l.

And it really runs?

- The top speed under water is 50 knots.

That's unbelievable!

- What kind of engine does it have?

And what are those machines on the hill?

l'd like to keep some secrets to myself.

There you have it Pencroff.

There is no devil involved!

- You laughed at me. But see for yourself.

The Nautilus exists!

- l imagine that the crew of such a ship is quite

different of the one we know.

l have trained the officers myself.

They were present when the ship was built.

Of the Nautilus.

And now l am the only one who can manoeuver it.

You will understand that l cannot leave the ship until

l know exactly what happened to Bob Harvey.

Maybe even one of his accomplices is still alive.

Therefore l would like to ask a favour of you:

The first eruption has torn open a gap in the rocks

which could only be closed due to the braveness of

my men.

Had they failed

this island wouldn't exist anymore.

lt is of utmost importance to find out if the recent

eruption didn't have the same effect.

Mr. Smith and you Nab...

... would you put on this diver's suit?

That sounds promising.

Would you please help me Pencroff?

Do you want to send us to the sea floor?

- lt's not dangerous Nab.

You won't be very deep.

Come on Nab put it on!

l'd really like to go along Sir.

Right now we don't have the time Mr. Spilett.

l need you for something else.

What is this case for?

This is a rescue device which we use when we are

hunting dangerous animals.

Drink this Harbert.

Did you use it to rescue Mr. Smith?

Yes. but the sea floor here is harmless.

l beg you pardon but could you explain to me how

this weapon works?

- lt is highly compressed air which makes it

dangerous under water and on the surface.

Our aqua lungs work the same way.

- But how do you do that?

Water has got a higher density than air.

About 850 times as much right Captain?

He's going to school in Boston.

l don't need high penetrating power.

The arrows head carry a poisonous liquid which

causes catalepsis.

lt was this kind of projectile

that exploded on Harbert's hand

when he fell in the cave.

Catelepsis reduces the metabolism. This way we

could save him from death.

l owe you a lot.

Excellent.

Help me please.

Please open that lock.

The helmets.

You can close the lock now.

They have already adapted to the water pressure.

l have acquired this devices

several years ago in Triest.

l have developed his idea.

Now it even shows moving pictures.

Like the singer when we arrived.

Yes. And other things.

l would like to show you a few pictures.

Maybe some day you will write about it?

All l ask of you is to write an objective article about

my real life.

l have always tried that.

Nemo is not my real name.

l have adopted it when l saved the lives of this

Frenchman and his servant

and this canadian sailor.

l am Prince Dakkar. A Hindu.

My father was the Raja of Bundelkunth.

When l was 10 he sent me for education to Europe.

Hoping that l would fight some day the oppressors of

my country.

l've met the most famous scientist and was almost as

smart as they were.
