help! help! he cried out in fear, but nobody heard him. he tried to swim but his clothes were
heavy. help! he cried one more time, and his mouth filled with water. suddenly, he felt a
strong hand holding him up. in the moonlight, he saw conseil.
please lean on my shoulder and i'll help you swim, said conseil. Dr Aronnax was happy and
relieved.
I felt that i had to follow you when i saw you fall, conseil replied.
Dr Aronnax felt grateful. Together, they would face the danger. they got rid of some of their
wet, heavy clothes and they decided to take turns swimming and carrying each other. as time
went by, the men became more and more tired. Dr Aronnax felt he could no longer continue
and then, suddenly, he hit something hard. in the dark, he felt someone pulling him up. then,
he fainted. when he finally opened his eyes again, he saw conseil and another man.
ned explained to dr aronnax that he had landed on the monster when he fell into the sea.
We're lucky it isn't moving. the creature must be asleep, said conseil.

surprised by what they saw. They could not believe it. Their monster was a ship that could sail
under the sea!
