 Uploaded This story was written a long time ago in 1868. Many of the ideas in this book did not seem possible to those who read it then.
 Uploaded We see a lot of whales. Ned wants to hunt them. But Captain Nemo says no.
 Uploaded We run into icy waters. The Nautilus is stuck. If we go under the ice we need to have enough air in the submarine for many days.
 Uploaded We explore a nearby island. There are penguins. The next day we find seals and walruses.
 Uploaded We go back under the ice. But we are not able to come back to the top. We can not get air!
 Uploaded I have an idea. We will boil water. Water will get hot. We will pump the hot water outside to melt the ice.
 Uploaded It is hard work. It takes many days to melt the ice so we can move. We are running out of air.
 Uploaded We finally break through the ice. The Nautilus makes it to the top of the water. We open the hatch and breathe fresh air.
 Uploaded We are in warmer waters now. Ned is still thinking about escaping. He wants to leave the submarine.
 Uploaded We don’t see much of Captain Nemo these days. He stays in a different part of the submarine.
 Uploaded I spend my time looking out the window of the submarine. I like to look at the fish and the plants.
 Uploaded Ned sees a squid. It is an ocean animal with a long body, large head and eyes, eight arms, and two tentacles.
 Uploaded We see a very, very big squid out the window! I scream! Ned calls it a frightening beast.
 Uploaded The Nautilus goes to the top of the water. A squid pulls open our hatch! Ned chops off its tentacles.
 Uploaded More squid come into the submarine! We fight them with axes. Sadly the last squid takes one of the crew.
 Uploaded Captain Nemo is sad. He cries because one of his crew was taken by the squid. We don’t see much of him for many days.
 Uploaded Conseil and I study the many fish and plant life out the window. Ned still wants to leave. He wants to make a plan to escape.
 Uploaded Ned wants me to tell Captain Nemo that we want to leave. He wants me to ask him to let us off of the submarine.
 Uploaded I tell Captain Nemo that Ned wants to leave. He said no! We may try to escape. Captain Nemo won’t talk anymore.
 Uploaded The Captain says he is writing down everything. The last man on the submarine will share this with the world.
 Uploaded A bad storm has started. We can’t try to escape now. The Nautilus has to go underwater to stay safe from the storm.
