La isla misteriosa Page #7

---

Friends that's right today l'm turning 53.

You forget how normal people live on this island.

And you are the one who told them!

Thank you my friends!

That's not all! Make yourself comfortable.

Now you'll get your birthday present.

We all would like to give you this pipe.

A pipe!

But l don't have tobacco?

Well it's just a start.

l get it! This is one of Spilett's jokes!

But today l won't let you spoof me.

Up and away!

- That was a little hasty Pencroff!

- Why? You mean this is...

- Take a look inside.

Tobacco! You are wonderful!

- Harbert has found the leaves

and Mr. Smith dried them.

l've made the bag and Mr. Spilett the pipe.

And l didn't notice a thing!

We are living in a house full of secrets.

- But the pipe! lt's probably broke!

- lt's just a pipe!

No need to panic!

l've broken the pipe!

- Sit down sit down!

- Unfortunately they are so fragile

l've made several in advance.

Wonderful! l finally have a pipe and...

You prepare it Harbert!

This is wonderful! Thank you so much!

Did you know smoking is antiscorbutic?

No.

Top has got something.

Good boy! Come here!

lt's okay Top.

lsn't that a piece of our balloon?

Yes it is.

That means we can sail to the other island.

Somebody tell me there is no destiny.

Do you think that the entire

coating is lying around somewhere?

Come on Top. Show us the way.

He was gruesome and very tricky...

... he was always on guard...

... but no one could threaten him...

... he simply laughed at them.

The grave is loneliness...

... who likes to go inside...

... who likes to go inside.

Does this song have more verses?

Well we won't get bored then.

Captain Nemo is allowed to go

to the mainland for one night every 7 years.

His covenant with the devil is repealed should he

happen to find a girl that wants to marry him.

But that's the story of the flying dutchman.

No. The Nautilus does exist.

And she must be driven by the devil himself.

She doesn't have sails nor a steam engine.

l've learned this song from a Canadian whale hunter

who has learned it from the composer.

And the composer was a prisoner

on board the Nautilus.

l think you are telling us fairy tales Pencroff.

People are telling crazy things about the Nautilus.

Engines which are running by themselves.

A hall more pompous than a palace.

And in the middle there is an organ. Like in a church.

An organ? - Yes.

And every time when Captain Nemo has sunk a ship

he played eerie music

which made your soul shiver.

And you could see the ship

sinking through big windows

and how the sailors were eaten up by sharks.

A submarine a ship that can dive. lmpossible!

Believe or not. This prisoner on board the Nautilus

has traveled under the ice of the southpole.

They have fought octopuses bigger than a ship!

That is a fact.

There also was a French scientist on board.

True or not. The story is incredible!

We'll ask Mr. Smith what he thinks about it.

But scientist are not always right.

They are telling you that there are no white whales!

But l've seen it with my own eyes!

Keep on laughing! Captain Nemo does exist!

That's the gospel truth!

Why are we going up that mountain instead of

sailing with the others to Tabor island?

First of all the boat wouldn't carry all of us

and secondly it's better if someone stays here.

That reminds me

that l didn't allow you to come with me.

That's right Sir.

That's what l thought.

Top you stay here on guard!

Both of you stay here!

l want that you stay here until l return.

Mr. Smith! Wait for me!

This path hasn't been walked on for years.

lt seems to end here.

l think it continues behind that big tree.

Listen!

What?

l can hear branches rustling.

l should have heard it as well.

Did you hear anything Mr. Spilett?

No nothing.

Pencroff did you hear it now?

Yes.

ls anybody there?

We are friends!

We want to help you!

- We've found the bottle post

you have thrown into the sea!

Look here!

March 18th 1857.

There is something carved in too.

lt's still readable.

Captain Harry Grant

November the 23rd

lf the poor guy is still alive he spent

l think he is already dead.

A bell! From the Brtiannia.

That's brass. We'll take it with us.

Maybe we'll find other useful things before we return.

- But first we'll have to find out

if Captain Grant is still alive.

l'd say we'll wait until the evening.

lf we don't find him by then we'll go.

Aye aye Sir. But we'll take the bell and the old rifle.

Look the path continues over there!

Why do you have such a device?

- l have built it after yours.

- You are a son of a gun.

But who knows if it works.

lt's working it's working!

You can't harm us!

Try it! Try it!

We are invincible!

l think that's it.

We should be in our boat before night breaks.

lf you say so. But l wouldn't mind a small nap.

Hey where are your arrows Harbert?

l must have left them where we stopped.

Wait Harbert we're coming with you.

What for? lt's just a few steps.

No! Help!

Harbert!

What happened?

The cast away. He's somewhere over there.

He fled.

Captain Grant!

He didn't take a minute to gnaw off the bone.

All these years alone on an island.

That can turn a human into a wild animal.

We must have been mistaken Sir.

- No.

Somebody tried to attack us and gave up.

But that would mean that humans live here.

They have tried to kill us.

But thanks to your lightning rod...

You are making a mistake.

Why should they live here?

They live down there.

At this place was a light.

Exactly in front of us.

And this light has only one direction to hide.

Down in the rocks.

But that's not possible Sir!

Only god can send flashes.

Only god.

Even with the knowledge

science has aquired over the past...

not one human would survive those lightnings.

And this is a very pitiable finding.

There is on live at all.

Do you see that?

A trace!

lt looks like the trace of an animal.

Or from a human.

Could be.

Sir! l think something is moving!

Where? Where?

There are humans.

He's got leprosy.

No. Doesn't look like it.

He's alive. But his heart is weak.

We'll take him with us Sir.

Of course.

We're lucky that the roof has got holes.

The vines can drop in any time.

They'll be burnt if l don't take them off the fire.

- l just hope

that Captain Grant is not as picky as we are.

He's still there.

He's hungry. He'll come.

Don't step in the trap!

Pencroff stop it.

Gotcha!

Captain we are friends. We just want to help you.

Help me Harbert!

The wind brings us right back to our island.

Take a look above.

What do you mean?

- The small black ribbon

at the horizon will get bigger and bigger.

But is it that bad?

l'm afraid yes. And we can't go back as well.

What can we do?

Hoping that our boat won't break apart.

Do you still believe that they'll come after their man?

l hope so.

Without help we won't

ever get away from this island.

That's what we needed. A storm.

Luckily Pencroff is a good sailor.

You don't need to worry.
