Chapter XIV
Strolling the Plains THIS CELL, properly speaking, was the Nautilus’s arsenal and wardrobe. Hanging from its walls, a dozen diving outfits were waiting for anybody who wanted to take a stroll. After seeing these, Ned Land exhibited an obvious distaste for the idea of putting one on. “But my gallant Ned,” I told him, “the forests of Crespo Island are simply underwater forests!” “Oh great!” put in the disappointed harpooner, watching his dreams of fresh meat fade away.
