The next day, the 22nd of March, at six in the morning, preparations for departure were begun. The last gleams of twilight1 were melting into night. The cold was great, the constellations2 shone with wonderful intensity3. In the zenith glittered that wondrous4 Southern Cross-the polar bear of Antarctic regions. The thermometer showed 120 below zero, and when the wind freshened it was most biting. Flakes5 of ice increased on the open water. The sea seemed everywhere alike. Numerous blackish patches spread on the surface, showing the formation of fresh ice. Evidently the southern basin, frozen during the six winter months, was absolutely inaccessible6. What became of the whales in that time? Doubtless they went beneath the icebergs8, seeking more practicable seas. As to the seals and morses, accustomed to live in a hard climate, they remained on these icy shores. These creatures have the instinct to break holes in the ice-field and to keep them open. To these holes they come for breath; when the birds, driven away by the cold, have emigrated to the north, these sea mammals remain sole masters of the polar continent. But the reservoirs were filling with water, and the Nautilus was slowly descending9. At 1,000 feet deep it stopped; its screw beat the waves, and it advanced straight towards the north at a speed of fifteen miles an hour. Towards night it was already floating under the immense body of the iceberg7. At three in the morning I was awakened10 by a violent shock. I sat up in my bed and listened in the darkness, when I was thrown into the middle of the room. The Nautilus, after having struck, had rebounded11 violently. I groped along the partition, and by the staircase to the saloon, which was lit by the luminous12 ceiling. The furniture was upset. Fortunately the windows were firmly set, and had held fast. The pictures on the starboard side, from being no longer vertical13, were clinging to the paper, whilst those of the port side were hanging at least a foot from the wall. The Nautilus was lying on its starboar
d side perfectly14 motionless. I heard footsteps, and a confusion of voices; but Captain Nemo did not appear. As I was leaving the saloon, Ned Land and Conseil entered. "What is the matter?" said I, at once. "I came to ask you, sir," replied Conseil. "Confound it!" exclaimed the Canadian, "I know well enough! The Nautilus has struck; and, judging by the way she lies, I do not think she will right herself as she did the first time in Torres Straits." "But," I asked, "has she at least come to the surface of the sea?" "We do not know," said Conseil. "It is easy to decide," I answered. I consulted the manometer. To my great surprise, it showed a depth of more than 180 fathoms15. "What does that mean?" I exclaimed. "We must ask Captain Nemo," said Conseil. "But where shall we find him?" said Ned Land. "Follow me," said I, to my companions.
We left the saloon. There was no one in the library. At the centre staircase, by the berths16 of the ship's crew, there was no one. I thought that Captain Nemo must be in the pilot's cage. It was best to wait. We all returned to the saloon. For twenty minutes we remained thus, trying to hear the slightest noise which might be made on board the Nautilus, when Captain Nemo entered. He seemed not to see us; his face, generally so impassive, showed signs of uneasiness. He watched the compass silently, then the manometer; and, going to the planisphere, placed his finger on a spot representing the southern seas. I would not interrupt him; but, some minutes later, when he turned towards me, I said, using one of his own expressions in the Torres Straits: "An incident, Captain?" "No, sir; an accident this time." "Serious?" "Perhaps." "Is the danger immediate17?" "No." "The Nautilus has stranded18?" "Yes." "And this has happened--how?" "From a caprice of nature, not from the ignorance of man. Not a mistake has been made in the working. But we cannot prevent equilibrium19 from producing its effects. We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones." Captain Nemo had chosen a strange moment for uttering this philosophical20 reflection. On the whole, his answer helped me little. "May I ask, sir, the cause of this accident?" "An enormous block of ice, a whole mountain, has turned over," he replied. "When icebergs are undermined at their base by warmer water or reiterated21 shocks their centre of gravity rises, and the whole thing turns over. This is what has happened; one of these blocks, as it fell, struck the Nautilus, then, gliding22 under its hull23, raised it with irresistible24 force, bringing it into beds which are not so thick, where it is lying on its side." "But can we not get the Nautilus off by emptying its reservoirs, that it might regain25 its equilibrium?" "That, sir, is being done at this moment. You can hear the pump working. Look at the needle of the manometer; it shows that the Nautilus is rising, but the blo
ck of ice is floating with it; and, until some obstacle stops its ascending26 motion, our position cannot be altered." Indeed, the Nautilus still held the same position to starboard; doubtless it would right itself when the block stopped. But at this moment who knows if we may not be frightfully crushed between the two glassy surfaces? I reflected on all the consequences of our position. Captain Nemo never took his eyes off the manometer. Since the fall of the iceberg, the Nautilus had risen about a hundred and fifty feet, but it still made the same angle with the perpendicular27. Suddenly a slight movement was felt in the hold. Evidently it was righting a little. Things hanging in the saloon were sensibly returning to their normal position. The partitions were nearing the upright. No one spoke28. With beating hearts we watched and felt the straightening. The boards became horizontal under our feet. Ten minutes passed. "At last we have righted!" I exclaimed. "Yes," said Captain Nemo, going to the door of the saloon. "But are we floating?" I asked. "Certainly," he replied; "since the reservoirs are not empty; and, when empty, the Nautilus must rise to the surface of the sea." We were in open sea; but at a distance of about ten yards, on either side of the Nautilus, rose a dazzling wall of ice. Above and beneath the same wall. Above, because the lower surface of the iceberg stretched over us like an immense ceiling. Beneath, because the overturned block, having slid by degrees, had found a resting-place on the lateral29 walls, which kept it in that position. The Nautilus was really imprisoned30 in a perfect tunnel of ice more than twenty yards in breadth, filled with quiet water. It was easy to get out of it by going either forward or backward, and then make a free passage under the iceberg, some hundreds of yards deeper. The luminous ceiling had been extinguished, but the saloon was still resplendent with intense light. It was the powerful reflection from the glass partition sent violently back to the sheets of the
lantern. I cannot describe the effect of the voltaic rays upon the great blocks so capriciously cut; upon every angle, every ridge31, every facet32 was thrown a different light, according to the nature of the veins33 running through the ice; a dazzling mine of gems34, particularly of sapphires35, their blue rays crossing with the green of the emerald. Here and there were opal shades of wonderful softness, running through bright spots like diamonds of fire, the brilliancy of which the eye could not bear. The power of the lantern seemed increased a hundredfold, like a lamp through the lenticular plates of a first-class lighthouse. "How beautiful! how beautiful!" cried Conseil. "Yes," I said, "it is a wonderful sight. Is it not, Ned?" "Yes, confound it! Yes," answered Ned Land, "it is superb! I am mad at being obliged to admit it. No one has ever seen anything like it; but the sight may cost us dear. And, if I must say all, I think we are seeing here things which God never intended man to see." Ned was right, it was too beautiful. Suddenly a cry from Conseil made me turn. "What is it?" I asked. "Shut your eyes, sir! Do not look, sir!" Saying which, Conseil clapped his hands over his eyes. "But what is the matter, my boy?" "I am dazzled, blinded." My eyes turned involuntarily towards the glass, but I could not stand the fire which seemed to devour36 them. I understood what had happened. The Nautilus had put on full speed. All the quiet lustre37 of the ice-walls was at once changed into flashes of lightning. The fire from these myriads38 of diamonds was blinding. It required some time to calm our troubled looks. At last the hands were taken down. "Faith, I should never have believed it," said Conseil. It was then five in the morning; and at that moment a shock was felt at the bows of the Nautilus. I knew that its spur had struck a block of ice. It must have been a false manoeuvre39, for this submarine tunnel, obstructed40 by blocks, was not very easy navigation. I thought that Captain Nemo, by changing his course, would
either turn these obstacles or else follow the windings41 of the tunnel. In any case, the road before us could not be entirely42 blocked. But, contrary to my expectations, the Nautilus took a decided43 retrograde motion. "We are going backwards44?" said Conseil. "Yes," I replied. "This end of the tunnel can have no egress45." "And then?" "Then," said I, "the working is easy. We must go back again, and go out at the southern opening. That is all." In speaking thus, I wished to appear more confident than I really was. But the retrograde motion of the Nautilus was increasing; and, reversing the screw, it carried us at great speed. "It will be a hindrance," said Ned. "What does it matter, some hours more or less, provided we get out at last?" "Yes," repeated Ned Land, "provided we do get out at last!" For a short time I walked from the saloon to the library. My companions were silent. I soon threw myself on an ottoman, and took a book, which my eyes overran mechanically. A quarter of an hour after, Conseil, approaching me, said, "Is what you are reading very interesting, sir?" "Very interesting!" I replied. "I should think so, sir. It is your own book you are reading." "My book?" And indeed I was holding in my hand the work on the Great Submarine Depths. I did not even dream of it. I closed the book and returned to my walk. Ned and Conseil rose to go. "Stay here, my friends," said I, detaining them. "Let us remain together until we are out of this block." "As you please, sir," Conseil replied.
Some hours passed. I often looked at the instruments hanging from the partition. The manometer showed that the Nautilus kept at a constant depth of more than three hundred yards; the compass still pointed46 to south; the log indicated a speed of twenty miles an hour, which, in such a cramped47 space, was very great. But Captain Nemo knew that he could not hasten too much, and that minutes were worth ages to us. At twenty-five minutes past eight a second shock took place, this time from behind. I turned pale. My companions were close by my side. I seized Conseil's hand. Our looks expressed our feelings better than words. At this moment the Captain entered the saloon. I went up to him. "Our course is barred southward?" I asked. "Yes, sir. The iceberg has shifted and closed every outlet48." "We are blocked up then?" "Yes."
第二夭，3月22日早晨六点，诺第留斯号准备开走。
清晨的最后曙光没人黑暗中去了。天气很冷。各星座在天空中照耀，特别明亮，天空的顶点有那辉煌的南宿，那是南冰洋地区的极星。
温度表降到零下十二度，寒风吹来，刺人肌骨。冰群在：流动的水上愈来愈多了。海面渐渐冻结。无数灰黑的冰块摆在水面上，这表示新的冰层形成了。很显然，南极的海面在冬季六个月全是结冰的，绝对无法通过。这个时期鲸鱼类怎样呢？当然它们从冰山下面出去，找寻比较适宜居住的海水。至于海豹和海马，习惯了严寒的天气，是仍然留在这冰天雪地中的。这些动物天赋有本能在这冰场中挖掘洞穴，老是让洞门敞开，它们可以到洞口来呼吸。鸟类被寒冷所迫，迁移到北方去。这时只有这些哺乳类动物是这南极大陆的唯一主人。
这时，储水池装满了，诺第留斯号慢慢下降。到一千英尺深的时候，它停下来。它的推进器搅动海水，以每小时十五海里的速度直向北方行驶。晚上，它已经驶到冰山下边巨大的冰冻甲壳下面了。
为了谨慎起见，客厅的嵌板完全关闭起来。这是因为诺第留斯号船壳可能碰到一些沉在水中的冰块。因此，我这一天的时间完全在整理我的笔记。我心中总是想着在南极点的情形。我到达了这个人迹不到的地点，不觉得疲倦，没有任何危险，就像火车厢在铁轨上溜过去一样，现在是归途了。还有什么相类似的新鲜惊奇的事等待着我吗？我想还有，海底神奇真是层出不穷呢！可是，自从偶然的讥会把我们送到这只船上的五个半月来，我们已经走了一万四千里，在这比地球赤道线还长的旅途上，有多少或新奇或可怕的偶然事件使得我们的旅行惊心动魄，兴味无穷呀。克列斯波林中打猎，托列斯海峡搁浅，珊瑚墓地，锡兰采珠，阿拉伯海底地道，桑多林火海，维哥湾亿万金银，大西洋洲，南极！夜间，所有这些忆念，梦一般连续过去，使我的脑子一刻也不能安歇。
早晨三点，我被一下猛烈的冲击惊醒。我立即起来坐在床上，黑暗里细心听，这时候，我突然被抛到房子中间去。
很显然，诺第留斯号是在碰上什么后，发生了很厉害的倾斜了。我靠着墙板，沿着墙到走廊，从走廊慢慢到客厅，厅里面有天花板上的灯光照得通明。桌倚家具都翻倒了。很运气，那些玻璃柜下部钉得结实，没有倒下来。船左舷挂的图画，由于垂直线转移，都贴在绣花挂毡上，挂在右舷上，下西的框缘离开一英尺远，诺第留斯号是靠右舷倒下来，并且完全不动了。在船内部，我听到脚步的声响和嘈杂的人声。
但尼摩船长没有出来。我正要离开客厅的时候，尼德·兰和康塞尔进来了。
“发生什么事了？"我立即问他们。
“我正来问先生呢。”康塞尔回答。
“怪呀！”加拿大人喊，“我很知道这事！诺第留斯号碰上什么了，从它躺下的情况来判断，我想这一次不象上一次在托列斯海峡中，它不能脱身了。”
“不过，”我问，“它至少是回到水面上来了吧？”
“我不知道。”康塞尔回答。
“这事很容易确定。”我说。
我看压力表，我非常惊异，表指着三百六十米深的水层“这是怎么说呢？”我喊。
“需要问一下尼摩船长。”康塞尔说。
“到哪里去找他呢？”尼德·兰问。
“你们跟我来。”我对我的两个同伴说。
我们离开客厅。图书室中，没有人。中央楼梯边，船员工作室，没有人。我想或者尼摩船长是在领航人的笼间中，最好还是等待着。我们三人又回客厅来。我这里不讲加拿大人如何咒骂。这是他动火的好机会，我让他的坏脾气尽情发泄，不回答他一句。
我们这样过了二十分钟，同时竭力想法听到诺第留斯号里面发生的一些最轻微的声音，这时候，尼摩船长进来。
他好像没有看见我们。他的面容经常是很镇定没有表情的。现在露出一些不安的情绪。他静静地看看罗盘、压力表，手指放在平面图上的一点，就是地图上表出南冰洋的这一部分。
我不想打断他的思路。直到过了一刻，当他向我转过身子来的时候，我才拿他在托列斯海峡对我说的一句话，反过来问他：“船长，是偶然事件吗？"“不，”他答，“先生，这一次是意外事件。”
“很严重吗？"
“可能很严重。”
“立即有危险吗？”
“没有。”
“诺第留斯号触礁了吗？”
“是的。”
“这次触礁是怎么搞的呢？……”
“是由于大自然的任性胡来，而不是由于人们的笨拙无能。在我们的指挥驾驶中，并没有犯一点错误。可是，我们不能阻止平衡力不发生这种效果。人们可以冒犯人为的法则，但不能抵抗自然的法则。”
尼摩船长选择这时候来作这种哲学思考，真是太离奇了。总之，他的答复对我没有什么帮助。
“先生，”我问，“我可以知道这件事故发生的原因吗？"“一群巨大的冰，整整一座冰山，翻倒下来了，”他回答我，“当冰山下面或受温热的水流，或受来回的冲击耗损的时候，它们的重心就往上移。那时它们就大大的翻转，它门翻筋斗了。现在的情形就是这样。其中有一大冰群，翻倒的时候，碰上了在水底行驶的诺第留斯号。然后在船身下溜过，又拿不可抗拒的力量把船顶起来，这冰群把船带到浅一些的水层，靠在船身上不动了。”
“我们把储水池的水排出去，使船重新得到平衡，诺第留斯号不就能脱身吗？”
“目前就是做这种工作，先生。您可以听到抽水机正在那里动作。请看压力表上的针，它指出诺第留斯号正在上升，但冰群跟它一齐向上，一直要到它的向上运动被一件障碍物挡住，我们的地位才可能改变。”
果然，诺第留斯号老是右舷同样倾斜倒在那里。当然p冰群自己停下的时候，船就可以站起来。但在这个时候，谁知道我们会不会碰上冰山的上部，被挤在两个冰面中间呢？
我思考我们所处的地位可能发生的一切后果。船长不停注视压力表。诺第留斯号自冰群倒下来，只上升了一百五十英尺左右，但它跟垂直线所成的角度总是一样。忽然船壳上感到一种轻微运动。很显然，诺第留斯号是站起一点来了。悬挂在客厅中的东西分明恢复了它们原来的地位。墙板接近垂直。我们中间没有谁说话。心跳动着，我们看着，我们感到船竖起来。地板在我们脚下又变为横平面了。十分钟过了。“究竟我们直起来了！”我喊。
“对。”尼摩船长说，同时他向客厅门走去。：“不过我们能往上浮吗？”我问他。
“当然能往上浮，”他回答，“因为储水池还没有排水，排水后，诺第留斯号自然浮上海面来。”
船长走了，我不久看见，人们得到他的命令，诺第留斯号的上升停止了。是的，它可能碰上冰山的下部，让它留在水中是好些。
“我们侥幸出险了！”康塞尔于是说。
“是的，我们可能在这些冰块间被压扁，至少被困往。
那时，因为不能调换空气，……是的，我们侥幸出险了！"“让它完蛋好了！”加拿大人低声咕噜着。
我不想跟加拿大人作无益的争辩，我并不回答。并且，嵌板在这时候打开，外面的光线通过嵌板的玻璃时进来。
我们完全在水中，像我说过的一般；不过，在诺第留斯号的两边，相距十米左右，各竖起一道雪白眩目的冰墙。船上下两方，也有同样的冰墙。船上面，因为冰山的下层冰面遮起来，像宽阔的天花板。船下面，因为翻倒下去的冰块慢恨溜下去，在两侧的冰墙上找到一个支点，维持它目前的这种地位。诺第留斯号是被困在真正的冰的地洞中了，这地涧有二十米左右宽，里面是平静的水。所以，它出来并不困难，或向前进，或向后退，然后再往下数百米左右，在冰山下面找到一条通路就可以了。
光亮的天花板熄灭了，可是，客厅中有辉煌的光线照明。那是四面冰墙的强烈反射，把探照灯的光波猛烈反射进客厅中来。电光在这些任意割切的冰群上所发生的力量，我简直不能描写，冰上的每一角度，每一条棱，每一个面，按着分布在冰上的线脉的性质，发出种种不同的光线。
这是珠宝玉石的眩人眼目的矿藏，特别是青王的矿藏，蓝宝石的蓝光和玻璃翠的碧光交织起来。处处有无限柔和的蛋白色调，散布在晶莹的尖点中间，就像有许多双目不能逼视的辉煌钻石一样。探照灯的光力增大了百倍，像灯光通过了一级灯塔的凸形镜片那样。
“真美！真美！”康塞尔喊起来。
“是！真美！”我说，“十分好看的景象。尼德，是不是“暖！是的！真美！”尼德·兰回答说，“真华美！真壮丽！我很恨自己，我不能不这样说了。人们从没有看过这样的景象。不过这景象可能要我们付出很大的代价。如果我要尽情说出来，那我想，我们眼前看见的事物是上帝不许人的眼睛看见的！”
尼德。兰说得对。真是太美了。忽然，康塞尔的喊声使我回过身子来。我问：“什么事？”
“先生闭眼睛吧！先生不要看吧！”
康塞尔说这活的时候，急急把手遮住眼皮。
“老实人，你怎么啦？”
“我眼花了，我看不见了！”
我的眼光不期然而然地向玻璃边看去，但我吃不住那侵蚀玻璃的火光。
我明白事情经过的原因了。诺第留斯号正在快速度地开行；所有冰墙上的静穆的光辉于是变为雷电闪闪的光芒。
这无数亿万钻石的晶光混和起来了。诺第留斯号受它的帆轮推动，是在电光熔炉中行驶了。
那时客厅的嵌板又闭起来。当我们的眼睛受到阳光过度猛烈的照射，眼膜上就浮游着强力集中的光线，我们现在的情形正是这样，我们把两手按在眼睛上。要过些时候才能把我们眼中的纷乱安静下来。后来，我们的手放下来了。
“天哪，我从没有想到呢！”康塞尔说。
“我也还不能想到呢！”加拿大人回答。
“当我们回到地上的时候，”康塞尔又说，"看惯了这许多自然界的神奇，对于陆地上那些贫乏可怜的人手造的简陋小东西，我们将怎么想呢！不！人居住的世界对于我们来说，真是不配了，不值得我们注意了！”
这样的语句从一个冷淡的佛兰蒙人口中说出来，表示我们是兴奋到了如何沸腾的程度。可是加拿大人乘机浇下一盆冷水。
“人居住的世界！”他摇摇头说，“你放心吧，康塞尔朋友。我们不能回去的了！”
那时是早晨五点。这时候，诺第留斯号的前端发生一次冲撞。我明白那是它的冲角碰上了一大群冰。这可能是由于一时驾驶不准，因为这条海底地道受冰群的堵塞，并不容易航行。因此我想，尼摩船长是在改变路线，或绕过这些障碍物，或沿着地道的弯折处驶去。总之，船的前进是不能完全被阻止的。但是，完全出我意料之外，诺第留斯号显然是向后倒退而行了。
“我们倒回去吗？”康塞尔说。
“是的，”我回答，“恐怕这一边，地道是没有出口了。”
“那么？……”
“那么，”我说，“船行很简单。我们倒退回去，我们从南口出去就完了。”
我这样说是想表示我心里很安定，但实际上并不如此。
这时诺第留斯号倒退着开行，速度愈来愈快，机轮倒着转，带着我们如飞而去。
“要耽搁时间了。”尼德·兰说。
“早几个钟头，或晚几个钟头没关系，只要能出来就我从客厅到图书室来回地走了一些时候。我的同伴们坐着，一言不发。不久我躺在长沙发上，拿着一本书，两眼机械地看下去。一刻钟后，康塞尔走近前来，对我说：“先生看的书很有趣吗？”
“很有趣。"我回答。
“我想是很有趣。先生看的书是先生写的书哩！”
“我写的书吗？”
正是，我手中拿着的是那本《海底的神秘》。我真是没有想到呢。我把书合起来，我又来回地走起来了。尼德·兰和康塞尔两人站起来，要走开。
“朋友们，请留下，”我拉住他们说，“我们留在直到我们退出这条走不通的道路。"几小时过去了，我时常看那挂在客厅墙壁上的机械压力表指出，诺第留斯号保持在三百米深的一定水层中，罗盘总是指向南，测程器的记录是速度每小时二十海里，在紧窄的水道中来说，这是过快的速度。尼摩船长知道船行不能过快，但这时候，几分钟简直等于几世纪呢。
八点二十五分，第二次冲捡发生了。这一次是在船后部。我面色发白了。我的同伴们走到我身边来。我拉着康塞尔的手。我们面面相觑，拿眼光来代替说话，这比用语言来表示我们的思想，好像更为直接些，这个时候，尼摩船长走进厅中来，我迎向前去。我问他：“南边的路也堵住了吗？”
“是的，先生。冰山翻倒的时候把所有的出口都堵住了。”
“我们是被封锁了吗？”
“是的。"
