We now come to the second part of our journey under the sea. The first ended with the moving scene in the coral cemetery1 which left such a deep impression on my mind. Thus, in the midst of this great sea, Captain Nemo's life was passing, even to his grave, which he had prepared in one of its deepest abysses. There, not one of the ocean's monsters could trouble the last sleep of the crew of the Nautilus, of those friends riveted3 to each other in death as in life. "Nor any man, either," had added the Captain. Still the same fierce, implacable defiance4 towards human society! I could no longer content myself with the theory which satisfied Conseil. That worthy5 fellow persisted in seeing in the Commander of the Nautilus one of those unknown servants who return mankind contempt for indifference6. For him, he was a misunderstood genius who, tired of earth's deceptions7, had taken refuge in this inaccessible8 medium, where he might follow his instincts freely. To my mind, this explains but one side of Captain Nemo's character. Indeed, the mystery of that last night during which we had been chained in prison, the sleep, and the precaution so violently taken by the Captain of snatching from my eyes the glass I had raised to sweep the horizon, the mortal wound of the man, due to an unaccountable shock of the Nautilus, all put me on a new track. No; Captain Nemo was not satisfied with shunning9 man. His formidable apparatus10 not only suited his instinct of freedom, but perhaps also the design of some terrible retaliation11. At this moment nothing is clear to me; I catch but a glimpse of light amidst all the darkness, and I must confine myself to writing as events shall dictate12.
That day, the 24th of January, 1868, at noon, the second officer came to take the altitude of the sun. I mounted the platform, lit a cigar, and watched the operation. It seemed to me that the man did not understand French; for several times I made remarks in a loud voice, which must have drawn13 from him some involuntary sign of attention, if he had understood them; but he remained undisturbed and dumb.
As he was taking observations with the sextant, one of the sailors of the Nautilus (the strong man who had accompanied us on our first submarine excursion to the Island of Crespo) came to clean the glasses of the lantern. I examined the fittings of the apparatus, the strength of which was increased a hundredfold by lenticular rings, placed similar to those in a lighthouse, and which projected their brilliance14 in a horizontal plane. The electric lamp was combined in such a way as to give its most powerful light. Indeed, it was produced in vacuo, which insured both its steadiness and its intensity15. This vacuum economised the graphite points between which the luminous16 arc was developed--an important point of economy for Captain Nemo, who could not easily have replaced them; and under these conditions their waste was imperceptible. When the Nautilus was ready to continue its submarine journey, I went down to the saloon. The panel was closed, and the course marked direct west.
We were furrowing17 the waters of the Indian Ocean, a vast liquid plain, with a surface of 1,200,000,000 of acres, and whose waters are so clear and transparent18 that any one leaning over them would turn giddy. The Nautilus usually floated between fifty and a hundred fathoms19 deep. We went on so for some days. To anyone but myself, who had a great love for the sea, the hours would have seemed long and monotonous20; but the daily walks on the platform, when I steeped myself in the reviving air of the ocean, the sight of the rich waters through the windows of the saloon, the books in the library, the compiling of my memoirs21, took up all my time, and left me not a moment of ennui22 or weariness. For some days we saw a great number of aquatic23 birds, sea-mews or gulls24. Some were cleverly killed and, prepared in a certain way, made very acceptable water-game. Amongst large-winged birds, carried a long distance from all lands and resting upon the waves from the fatigue25 of their flight, I saw some magnificent albatrosses, uttering discordant26 cries like the braying27 of an ass2, and birds belonging to the family of the long-wings. As to the fish, they always provoked our admiration28 when we surprised the secrets of their aquatic life through the open panels. I saw many kinds which I never before had a chance of observing. {3 paragraphs are missing} From the 21st to the 23rd of January the Nautilus went at the rate of two hundred and fifty leagues in twenty-four hours, being five hundred and forty miles, or twenty-two miles an hour. If we recognised so many different varieties of fish, it was because, attracted by the electric light, they tried to follow us; the greater part, however, were soon distanced by our speed, though some kept their place in the waters of the Nautilus for a time. The morning of the 24th, in 12" 5' S. lat., and 94" 33' long., we observed Keeling Island, a coral formation, planted with magnificent cocos, and which had been visited by Mr. Darwin and Captain Fitzroy. The Nautilus skirted the shores of this deser
t island for a little distance. Its nets brought up numerous specimens29 of polypi and curious shells of mollusca. {one sentence stripped here} Soon Keeling Island disappeared from the horizon, and our course was directed to the north-west in the direction of the Indian Peninsula. From Keeling Island our course was slower and more variable, often taking us into great depths. Several times they made use of the inclined planes, which certain internal levers placed obliquely30 to the waterline. In that way we went about two miles, but without ever obtaining the greatest depths of the Indian Sea, which soundings of seven thousand fathoms have never reached. As to the temperature of the lower strata31, the thermometer invariably indicated 4" above zero. I only observed that in the upper regions the water was always colder in the high levels than at the surface of the sea.
On the 25th of January the ocean was entirely32 deserted33; the Nautilus passed the day on the surface, beating the waves with its powerful screw and making them rebound34 to a great height. Who under such circumstances would not have taken it for a gigantic cetacean? Three parts of this day I spent on the platform. I watched the sea. Nothing on the horizon, till about four o'clock a steamer running west on our counter. Her masts were visible for an instant, but she could not see the Nautilus, being too low in the water. I fancied this steamboat belonged to the P.O. Company, which runs from Ceylon to Sydney, touching35 at King George's Point and Melbourne. At five o'clock in the evening, before that fleeting36 twilight37 which binds38 night to day in tropical zones, Conseil and I were astonished by a curious spectacle.
It was a shoal of argonauts travelling along on the surface of the ocean. We could count several hundreds. They belonged to the tubercle kind which are peculiar39 to the Indian seas.
These graceful40 molluscs moved backwards41 by means of their locomotive tube, through which they propelled the water already drawn in. Of their eight tentacles42, six were elongated43, and stretched out floating on the water, whilst the other two, rolled up flat, were spread to the wing like a light sail. I saw their spiral-shaped and fluted44 shells, which Cuvier justly compares to an elegant skiff. A boat indeed! It bears the creature which secretes45 it without its adhering to it. For nearly an hour the Nautilus floated in the midst of this shoal of molluscs. Then I know not what sudden fright they took. But as if at a signal every sail was furled, the arms folded, the body drawn in, the shells turned over, changing their centre of gravity, and the whole fleet disappeared under the waves. Never did the ships of a squadron manoeuvre46 with more unity47. At that moment night fell suddenly, and the reeds, scarcely raised by the breeze, lay peaceably under the sides of the Nautilus. The next day, 26th of January, we cut the equator at the eighty-second meridian48 and entered the northern hemisphere. During the day a formidable troop of sharks accompanied us, terrible creatures, which multiply in these seas and make them very dangerous. They were "cestracio philippi" sharks, with brown backs and whitish bellies49, armed with eleven rows of teeth-eyed sharks--their throat being marked with a large black spot surrounded with white like an eye. There were also some Isabella sharks, with rounded snouts marked with dark spots. These powerful creatures often hurled50 themselves at the windows of the saloon with such violence as to make us feel very insecure. At such times Ned Land was no longer master of himself. He wanted to go to the surface and harpoon51 the monsters, particularly certain smooth-hound sharks, whose mouth is studded with teeth like a mosaic52; and large tiger-sharks nearly six yards long, the last named of which seemed to excite him more particularly. But the Nautilus, accelerating her speed, easily left the most rapid of
them behind.
The 27th of January, at the entrance of the vast Bay of Bengal, we met repeatedly a forbidding spectacle, dead bodies floating on the surface of the water. They were the dead of the Indian villages, carried by the Ganges to the level of the sea, and which the vultures, the only undertakers of the country, had not been able to devour53. But the sharks did not fail to help them at their funeral work. About seven o'clock in the evening, the Nautilus, half-immersed, was sailing in a sea of milk. At first sight the ocean seemed lactified. Was it the effect of the lunar rays? No; for the moon, scarcely two days old, was still lying hidden under the horizon in the rays of the sun. The whole sky, though lit by the sidereal54 rays, seemed black by contrast with the whiteness of the waters.
Conseil could not believe his eyes, and questioned me as to the cause of this strange phenomenon. Happily I was able to answer him. "It is called a milk sea," I explained. "A large extent of white wavelets often to be seen on the coasts of Amboyna, and in these parts of the sea." "But, sir," said Conseil, "can you tell me what causes such an effect? for I suppose the water is not really turned into milk." "No, my boy; and the whiteness which surprises you is caused only by the presence of myriads55 of infusoria, a sort of luminous little worm, gelatinous and without colour, of the thickness of a hair, and whose length is not more than seven-thousandths of an inch. These insects adhere to one another sometimes for several leagues." "Several leagues!" exclaimed Conseil. "Yes, my boy; and you need not try to compute56 the number of these infusoria. You will not be able, for, if I am not mistaken, ships have floated on these milk seas for more than forty miles." Towards midnight the sea suddenly resumed its usual colour; but behind us, even to the limits of the horizon, the sky reflected the whitened waves, and for a long time seemed impregnated with the vague glimmerings of an aurora57 borealis.
这次海底旅行的第二部分现在开始了。第一部分在珊瑚墓地动人的场面上结束，在我心中留下很深刻的印象。
看来尼摩船长的生活是完全在那无边大海中间度过的，甚至他的坟墓，他都在最秘密的深渊中预备好了。那里，不会有这样或那样的海怪来扰乱诺第留斯号船员的长眠。这些船员共命运，同生死。在那儿“也不会有一个生人来扰乱！”
尼摩船长又补充了这一句。
他对人类社会总是表示那样的不信任，倔强，坚决，这是一种无可妥协的不信任。
对我来说，我再也不能满足于康塞尔的那些说法了，虽然这个老实人仍坚持他的看法，认为诺第留斯号的船长是被埋没的一位学者，是拿蔑视来回答人世冷淡的一位学者。
他还以为船长是一位不为人们所了解的天才，受不了人世的欺骗，不得已才逃避到这个他的本能可以允许他行动自曲而别人却不能到达的大海里来。但是，照我来看，这些说有一亿五千万公亩的广阔水面，海水十分澄清，低下头来望它的人都会感到头晕目眩。诺第留斯号通常是在水深一百和二百米间的地方行驶。好几天内都是这样。对于不十分爱海的人，定然觉得在船中的时间过得很长和非常单调，但对我来说就不同了，我每天在平台上散步，呼吸海洋的新鲜空气来锻炼身体。并通过客厅的玻璃观察物产丰富的海水景象，阅读图书室的书籍，写我的笔记，这样就消磨了我所有的时间，不让我有一刻的厌烦或无聊。
我们各人的健康情况都使人很满意。船上的饮食起居对我们也完全适合，在我个人来说，尼德·兰由于不满的无情而想法做出口味不同的菜，实在也用不着。还有，在海底经常稳定的温度下，甚至于伤风也不会有的。另外，法国南方称为“海茵香”的那种石蚕属的草树，在船上还储藏有相当数量，它跟那腔肠动物容易溶化的肉和起来，可以作为一种治疗咳嗽的优良药膏。
好几天内，我们看到了大量的水鸟，噗足鸟，大海鸥或海鸥。有些海鸟很巧妙地被打死后，用一种方法烹调起来，使人又尝到很可口的水禽野味。
诺第留斯号的鱼网打到好几种海龟，它们是海甲鱼属，背后隆起，龟甲很是宝贵。这些龟容易潜入水中，闭起鼻腔外孔的活肉塞，就可以在水中停留很久。有些海甲鱼被网打来的时候，它们还在甲壳中睡觉，那是为了要躲避海中动物的捕捉，这些甲鱼肉一般说是不好吃的，但甲鱼蛋却是美味的珍品。
至于鱼类，当我们从打开的嵌板窥见了它们的水中生活的秘密时，总是激起我们的赞美。我仔细地看好几种鱼。
这些鱼以前我一直没有机会观察过。
我主要想说的是红海、印度洋和近赤道美洲那一部分太平洋所特有的牡蛎类。这些鱼类跟甲鱼、执豚、云丹、甲壳类一样，保护它们身体的，不是白垩的，也不是石质的，而是真正骨质的甲壳。这种甲壳有时为立体三角形，有时为立体四方形。
我从助手康塞尔每天写的札记中。又可以举出这一带海中所特有的腹鱼类，比如红背脊，白肚腹的针鱼，这鱼很特别，它有三行纵列的线纹。还有长七英寸，颜色鲜艳的电鱼。其次，作为其他鱼属的标本，可以举出类似黑褐色蛋时卵形鱼，这鱼有白色的带纹，没有尾：鱼虎，这鱼是真正的海豪猪，身上多刺，可以鼓起身子，变成一个满布尖刺的球；各海洋所同有的海马鱼，会飞的长嘴飞马鱼，这鱼的腹鳍很阔大，形状生得像翼一般，虽然不能高飞，但至少也能跳人空中：构形鸽子鱼，这鱼的尾上有许多鱼鳞的圆环；下巴很长的大颚鱼，这是长二十五公分，带漂亮颜色的美味好吃的鱼；灰白的美首鱼，这鱼的头部是高低不乎的；无数会跳的奇形鱼，这鱼身上带黑纹，长长的腹鳍，能以惊人的速度在水面上溜来溜去：美丽的风帆鱼，这鱼可以竖起所有的鳍，就像向着顺流扯起布帆来一样；华美的彩鱼，这鱼受大自然的特别优待，一身具有黄、天蓝、银白和金黄各种颜色；绒翼鱼，这鱼的翼全由丝条组成；老是沾上污泥的刺鳍鱼，这鱼发出蟋嗦的声音；海幼鱼，这鱼的肝被认为有毒；波帝鱼，这鱼在眼睛上戴有一个会动的眼罩，最后，管状的长嘴哨子…鱼，这鱼是真正的海中家雀，带有一支枪，夏斯包式和雷明答式枪的制造者所没有想到的一种枪，射出一滴水就可以把昆虫打死。
拉色别德所分类的第八十九种鱼属，属于骨质鱼类的第二亚纲，特征为有一个鳃盖和一块鳃膜，在这个属里我看到有蝎子鱼，这鱼的头上有尖刺，只有一个脊绪，这些鱼按照所属的不同亚属，细小的鳞或有或没有。第二亚属中有一些两指鱼的品种、这鱼长三至四分米，身上有黄色带纹，头的形状很是古怪。至于第一亚属，也有一些外号称为“海檐赊”的怪鱼品种，这是脑袋很大的鱼，头上有时带很深的皱纹，有时肿起一个一个的瘤，身上各处带利刺和疙瘩，有长短不一和看来很可怕的角’，身上和尾上满是鸡眼，这鱼的利刺刺人很危险，是使人讨厌、害怕的鱼。
从1月21日至23日，诺第留斯号每天二十四小时走二百五十里，即五百四十海里，也就是说每小时走二十二海里。我们所以能在走的时候认识各种各样的鱼，是因为这些鱼受电光的吸引，前来陪伴我们，大部分的鱼追不上船的速度，不久就落在后面，但有些鱼在一定的时间内仍然可以跟上来，在诺第留斯号附近的海水中浮游。
24日晨，在南纬12度5分，东经94度33分，我们望见了企林岛，这是造礁珊瑚浮起的岛，岛上有很多高大好看的椰子树，达尔丈和费兹一罗亚船长曾到过这岛。诺第留斯号在距离不远的水中沿这座荒岛的悬崖行驶。它的打捞机打了许多腔肠类和棘皮类动物，以及软体动物门的好些新奇介壳动物。不久，企林岛在天边看不见了，航行路线是指着西北，向印度半岛的尖端驶去！
那天，尼德·兰对我说：“到了有文化的地方了。这当然比巴布亚强得多，在巴布亚碰见的野蛮人比鹿还多呢！
教授，在这印度半岛的陆地上，有马路，铁路，有英国的、法国的和印度的城市。走五英里路，一定可以碰到一个本国人。嗯！跟尼摩船长不客气，离开他的机会，现在不是到来了吗？”
“不，尼德，不，”我声调很坚决地回答他，“像你们水手说的，让它跑去。诺第留斯号走近人居住的地方，它要回到欧洲去了，让它带我们去吧。一到我们的欧洲海中，我们要谨慎小心地出主意，决定我们要做的事情。并且，我想足摩船长不会让我们踏上马拉巴尔①或科罗曼德尔②海岸，像在新几内亚森林中一样去打猎。”
“那么！先生，我们不要他的准许不成吗？”
我不回答加拿大人。我不愿意争论。实际上，对于命运中所能有的一切机会，我心中都要尽力思考。难道不正是命运把我送到诺第留斯号船上来的吗？
从企林岛起，船行速度一般他说已慢下来。行程也比较任意，时常把我们拉到很深的地方去。船员使用了几次纵斜机板，船内部杠杆可以把机板对浮标线作倾斜的移动。
我们这样就一直到了二三公里深的地方，但对于这一万三千米的探测器都还不能达到底的印度海的深处，从未加以实测。至于低水层的温度，温度表老是不变地指着四度。
不过在上面水层中，我注意到，在深水处的水总比大海面的水寒冷。
1月25日，洋面完全荒凉，什么也没有，这一天诺第留斯号是浮出水面来度过的。强大的推进器搅动水波，把水流喷人高空。在这种情况下，人们怎么会不把它当作一条巨大的鲸鱼类动物呢？这一天四分之三的时间我都在乎台上。我远望大海。天边什么也没有，只在下午四点的时候·，有一艘长形的汽船，跟我们对渡而行，在西方行驶。这船的桅杆有一个时候可以看见，但它不可能看见紧挨着水面的诺第留斯号。我想这艘汽船是属于印度半岛和东方航线轮船公司的，它航行于锡兰岛和悉尼之间，中途停泊在佐治玉呷和墨尔本港。
下午五点的时候，在热带地方白天和黑夜之间的短暂的黄昏来临之前，康塞尔和我看到一个新奇的景象，使我们惊叹。
那是一种迷人的动物，照古代人的说法，碰见它，就预告将有好运气到来。亚里士多德，雅典尼③，普林尼，奥比安②，研究过它的性情嗜好，并且使尽希腊和意大利学者们所有的诗词来对待它。他们称它为“诺第留斯”和“庞比留斯”。但近代科学没有接受这个名称，这种软体动物现在名为“阿哥那提”——肛鱼。这时候在洋面上走动的正是这肛鱼属的一群。在我们看来，有几千几万条。它们是带突瘤的肛鱼属，是印度洋特有的一种。这些美丽的软体动物是向后倒退来行动的，它们使用运动管，把吐出的水从管中排出，就走动起来了。它们有八根触须，其中六根又长又细，浮在水面上，其他两根弯圆作掌形，迎凤张开，像轻帆那样。
我完全可以看见它们的螺旋波纹的介壳，居维埃的比方很恰当，说这壳是一只精美的小艇。是的，这壳真正是一只小船，虽然它是这个动物分泌出来的，但它没有紧紧附着它，而是它把这动物装载在里面。
“肛鱼可以自由离开它的介壳，”我对康塞永说，“但它从不离开它。”
“尼摩船长就是这样，”康塞尔很恰当地回答，“所以称他的船为肛鱼号更恰当些。”
大约有一个钟头左右，诺第留斯号在这群软体动物中例行驶。一会儿，不知道发生了什么可怕的事情，突然把它：们吓住了。它们好像听到信号一样，所有的帆一下子都卷起来了，胳膊都收回去了，身体都缩起来了，翻倒的介壳改变了重心，整个队伍都沉在水波中不见了。这是一瞬间的事，从来没有一只舰队的演习能执行这么整齐划一的动作。
这时候，黑夜突然来临，微风仅能掀起一些海浪在诺第留斯号边缘下缓慢地推过去。
第二天，1月26日，我们在东经82度上穿过了赤道线，船又回到北半球了。
这一天，一大群鲛鱼陪着我们。这些可怕的动物在这一带海中繁殖，使这一带变成很危险的地方。其中有背脊栗子色，肚腹灰白色的烟色鲸，嘴里有十二排长牙；有睛点鲛，这鲛脖子上有一个大黑点。被白圆圈圈起来，很像一只眼睛；有淡黄蚊，嘴脸圆形，带有灰点。这些力大的动物时常冲撞客厅的玻璃，来势猛烈，使人害怕。尼德·兰情不自禁了。他要上水面去调叉这些怪物，尤其有一种鲨鱼鲛类。
嘴中有一列一列的牙，组成花纹一样，又有一种虎皮大蚊，长五米，特别刺激他，使他技痒，忍耐不祝但诺第留斯号增加速度，不久就把这些最炔的鲛鱼都甩在后面了。
1月27日，在广阔的孟加拉湾口，我们好几次碰见了凄惨怕人的景象！有很多尸体浮在水波上面。那是印度城市中的死人，从恒河流下，输送到大海，因为这地方的唯一掩埋者——骛乌——没有能完全吞食他们。但海中鲸鱼很多，可以帮助骛鸟来完成这件丧气事。
晚上七点左右，诺第留斯号在奶海里航行，船身一半在水里，一半露在水面上。一望无际的大洋呈乳白色。这是月光的力量吗？不是的，因为新月还不到两天，早在阳光中水平线下不见了。整个天空，虽然有星光照亮，但跟水上的白色对比，显得很黯淡。
康塞尔以为自己的眼睛昏花了，不敢相信，他问我这种新奇现象的原因。很幸运，我可以答得出来。
“这就是人们所称道的奶海，”我对他说，“是阔大的白色水流，时常在盎波尼岛海岸和这一带海中看到。”
“不过，”康塞尔问，“先生可以让我知道是什么原因产生这种效果吗？因为，我想这海水并没有变成奶呀！”
“不，康塞尔，这种使你惊奇的白色是由于水中有无数亿万的细微滴虫，那是一种发光的微虫，外形是胶质无色的，有一根头发那样厚，长也不超过一毫米的五分之一。这些微生滴虫在好几里长的海面上彼此连接起来、形成一片白色。”
“好几里长！”康塞尔喊道。
“是的，老实人、你不用去计算这些滴虫的数量。你一定算不出来，因为我听说过，某些航海家在这奶海上走了四十多海里远。
在几小时内，诺第留斯号的冲角冲开这白色水流，向前行驶，我看见它没有声响地在这肥皂泡沫的水面上溜过去，就像在海湾中、顺流和逆流相冲时所形成的水沫上面行驶那样。
半夜左右，海面忽然又现出乎常的颜色来，但在我们船后面，直至天边尽处，天空反映着水面的白色，很久都像受北极的模糊曙光澈照一样。
