We were alone in darkness and silence. The men pulled us into the submarine. They didn't speak as they pushed us into the dark room and locked us in. "Who are they? What would they do to us?" Ned Land was angry and began to shout.
"Shouting will not help," I said. "We should stay calm." Suddenly, a door opened and two men came in. One of them was short and strong, and the other was tall and handsome. It was easy to see that the tall man was the captain.
I can speak French, English, German and Latin. But they spoke to each other in a language that I could not understand. I told them our story in French, but they did not seem to understand me. Ned repeated the story in English and Conseil in German, but they did not speak. I told it again in Latin. They sat and looked at us, and then got up and left the room, locking the door behind them.
At last, the door opened and a man came in. Ned hit him hard from the back. "Please be calm, Mr Land!" We were surprised to see that it was the captain, speaking French.
He said, "I understood everything that you said when you told me your story. I could not visit you again because I had to decide what to do with you. Your ship hunted me. You shot at me with your gun and hit me with your harpoon. You wanted to kill me. You were not friendly to me at all. I could throw you into the sea to die."
"Please don't do this! People who have no manners will do this!" I said.
"I am not the man who has good manners," he answered angrily. "However, I decided that it might be interesting to let you live. You are free to go around the ship and see everything that happens. However, I want you to promise two things."
