goodbye to the Nautilus
After our visit the Antarctic, we didn't see Captain Nemo very often. The Nautilus went up the coast of South and North America. We wanted to escape, but every night there was a problem: we weren't near the coast, or the sea was difficult.
Then we went across the Atlantic to Europe and arrived in British waters.
Suddenly, there was a big noise: Boom We looked across the sea. There was a big boat three leagues away.
'It was that boat' Ned said. 'It wants to hit the Nautilus and kill us all.'
'Which country is it from?' I asked.
'I can't sea,' Ned answered.
Boom Water went up into the air only five metres from the Nautilus.
Captain Nemo arrived. He was very angry, and he didn't look at us. He looked at the boat across the water and said, 'First you take my country and my family, and now you want to kill me too. But can you find me underwater? No The Nautilus is going to hit your boat and kill you all.'
I wanted to stop the captain, but he didn't listen to me. The Nautilus moved away from the coast, and the boat came after us. Then we went underwater. for a short time it was quiet. Then we started to move very quickly. Suddenly, the boat was in front of us. The Nautilus went into it.
