It was Tierra del Fuego, which the first navigators named thus from seeing the quantity of smoke that rose from t! ves" huts, The coasts seemed low to me, but In the distance rose high moun- tains, I even thought I had @ glimpse of Mount Sarmiento, that rises 2,070 yards above the level of the sea, with a very pointed summit, which, ac- cordingly as it is misty or clear, Is a sign of fine or of wet weather, At this moment, the peak was clearly defined against the sky. The Nau- tilus, diving again under the water, approached the coast, which was only some few miles off, From the glass windows in the drawing room, I saw long sea weeds and gigantic fucl, and varech, of which the open Polar Sea contains #o many speci. mens, with their sharp polished fila- ment) they measured about 300 yards in length—real cal thicker than one's thumb; and having great tenacity, they are often used as ropes for vessels, Another weed known as velp, with leaves four feet long, bur- ied in the coral concretions, hung at the bottom, It served ag nest and food for myriads of crustacea and molluscs, crabs . There seals and otters had splend! eating the flesh of fish with sea ve; etables, fashio: ant gegund the Nautilts passed with great rapidity. Toward evening it approached the Falkland group, the rough summits of which I recognized the following day, The depth of the sea was moderate. On the shores our nets brought in beautiful specimens of sea weed, and particularly @ cer- tain fucus, the roots ef which were filled with the best mussels in the world. Geese @: ducks fell bv dozens on the platform, and soon took their places in the pantry on board. With regard to fish, I op- served espe ly specimens of the goby species, some two feet long, all over white and yellow spots. I ad- mired also numerous medusae, and the finest of the sort, the crysaora, culiar to the sea about the Falk- nd Isles. I should have tiked to Broserve some specimens of these jelicate zoophytes; but they are only like clouds, shadows, apparitions, that sink and evaporate, when out of their native element, When the last heighta of the Falk- lands had disappeared from the horizon, the Nautilus eank to be- tween twenty and twenty-five yarde, and followed the American ‘coast, Capt. Nemo did not show himself. Until the 8d of April we did not quit the shores of Patagonia, some- times under the ocean, sometimes at the surfac The Nautilus passed beyond the large estuary formed by the mouth of the Plata, and was, on the 4th of April, fifty-six miles off Uruguay. Ita direction was north- ward, and followed the long wind- ings of the coast of South America, ‘We had then made 14,000 miles since our embarkation tn the seas of Japan, About 11 o'clock in the morning the Tropic of Capricorn was crossed on the thirty-seventh meridian, and we passed Cape Frio standing out to sea, Capt. Nemo, to Ned Land's great die- pleagure, did not like the neighbor- hood of the inhabited coasts of Brazil, for we went at a giddy speed. Not a fish, not a bird of the swiftest kind could follow us, and the natural curiosities of these seas escaped all observation, This speed was kept up for several days, and in the evening of the 9th of April we sighted the most easterly point of South America that forms Cape San Roque. But then the Nau- tilus swerved again and sought the lowest depth of a submarine valley which is between this cape and Sterra Leone on the African aoast, This val- For two days the desert and deep waters were visited by means of the inclined planes.

The equator was crossed, Twenty miles to the west were the Guianas, 4 French territory, on which we could have found an easy refuge, but a stiff breeze was blowing, and the furious ‘waves would not have allowed a sin- gle boat to face them.

OR several days the Nautilus kept off from the American coast. Evidently it did not wish to risk the tides of the Guilt of Mexico, or of the ea of the Antilles, April 16 we sight- ed Martinique and Guadaloupe from the distance of about thirty miles, I saw their tall peaks for an Instant. The Canadian, who counted on carry- ing out his projects in the Gulf, by either landing, or hailing one of the numerous boats that coast from ono ialand to another, was quite disheart- ened. Fight would have been quite practicable, if Ned Land had been able to take possession of the boat without the Captain's knowledge, But in the open a#ea it could not be thought of. The Canadian, Consol! and I had @ long conversation on this subject. For six months we had been prisoners on board the Nautilus. Wo had travelled 17,000 leagues; and, a Ned Land sald, there was no reason why it should not come to an end. We could hope nothing from the Cap- tain of the Nautilus, but only from ourselves. Bosides, for some time past he had become graver, more re- tired, less sociable, Hoe seemed to shun me I met him rarely. Former- ly, he was pleased to explain the sub- marine marvela to me: now, be left me to my studies and came no more to the saloon, What change had come over him? For what cause? For my part, I did not wish to bury with me my curious and novel studies. I had now the power to write the true book of the sea; ard this book, sooner or later, I wished to see day- Ugbt. Then again, in the water by the Antilles, ten yards below the aur- ? face of tho waters, by the open pane what interesting products I had to ea- ter on my daily notes! There were, among other zoophytes, those known under the naime of phy- pelagica, a sort of large oblong with 1 of-pearl ray: holding out the membranes to t wind, and letting their blue tentack float like threads of elk; charming meduaue to tho eye, real nettles to the touch, that distil @ corrosive fluid, ‘There were also annelides, a yard and a half long, furnished with a pink horn, and with 1,700 locomotive or- gans, that wind through the waters and throw out tn pasmng all the light of the eolar spectrum.

Neverthe- less, there must be some ground for tho !magination of the story-tellers. One cannot deny that poulps and cut- tle fish exist of a large species, inferior, however, to the cetaceans, Aristotle has stated the dimensions of @ cuttle fish as five cubits, or nine feet two inches, Our fishermen frequently see somo that are more than four feet nx. Some skeletons of boxtee are preserved in the museums of ite and Montpelier that measure yards in length, Besld the caloulationa of some naturalists, one of these animals, only six feet long, would have tentacles twenty- seven feet long. That would suffice to make a formidable monater.” “Do they fish for them in these days?" asked Ned. “It they do not fish for them, sall- ors seo them at least. One of my friends, Capt. Paul Bos of Havre, has often affirmed that he met one these monsters, of colossal dime: sions, in the Indian sea: But the most astonishing fact, and which does not permit of the denial of the existence of these gigantic animals, happened some years ago, in 1 tan ia the fact?" asked Ned and, “This ts it: * In 1861, to the northeast rly in the same the crew of Alector perceived the despatch @ monstrous cuttlefish swimming in the waters, Capt, Bouguer went near to the animal and attacked it with poons and guns, without much success, for balls and harpoons glided ver the soft flesh After several fruitless at pis, the crew tried to pass a slipknot round the b molluse, — The slipped as far s tho caudal fins and there ped. hey tried then te aul it on but Its welaht was so consid that the tightness of the cord rated the tall from the body, and, de- prived of this ornament, he disap- red under the water."

By thie time other poulps appeared at the port light. I counted seven, ‘They formed a er the Nautilus, and I heard their beaks @nashing against the iron hull. I continued my work.
