I resolved then to husband our strength, so that both 1838 2, 23 | was lying in a fisherman's hut, on the Loffoden Isles. 1839 2, 17 | that rose from the natives' huts.

By its own power of impulsion our apparatus made a canal 1887 1, 22 | electric apparatus remained inactive and her motionless screw 1888 1, 7 | astonishing phenomenon, inasmuch as it was a simply human 1889 2, 9 | the principles of their incandescence, can attain a white heat, 1890 2, 10 | and when the level of the incandescent liquid rose to the orifice 1891 2, 8 | treasures torn from the Incas and from the conquered of 1892 2, 14 | teeth in both jaws, four incisors at the top and four at the 1893 2, 12 | passengers, sailors, and officers included, would not form a tenth 1894 2, 8 | leaving my submarine studies incomplete. ~What dreadful hours I 1895 1, 12 | water is not absolutely incompressible, it is at least capable 1896 2, 12 | right.

Some instants after, we saw a dozen of 1952 2, 9 | the surface of the waves. Instinctively the thought flashed across 1953 1, 12 | say, the brave men that I instructed and educated, and myself 1954 1, 18 | readable. ~They were the instructions of the naval minister to 1955 1, 11 | excellent vessel, light and insubmersible, that serves either as a 1956 2, 6 | hermetically sealed, an insupportable smell of sulphur filled 1957 1, 2 | Review, all papers devoted to insurance companies which threatened 1958 2, 1 | produced in vacuo, which insured both its steadiness and 1959 2, 6 | of the Turks.

Our visitors 1962 1, 20 | the monstrous effects of intemperance!" ~"By Jove!" exclaimed 1963 2, 10 | explanation, sir; but, in our own interests, I regret that the opening 1964 2, 7 | is, if Ned Land does not interfere with it." ~And Conseil, 1965 1, 13 | was kept at its height, interjections followed quickly on each 1966 2, 4 | also formed picturesque interlacings which unfolded themselves 1967 2, 8 | said I, not knowing what my interlocutor was driving at, and asking 1968 2, 4 | and took the Nile as an intermediate. Very probably the canal 1969 2, 13 | packs, or ice-fields, but an interminable and immovable barrier, formed 1970 2, 4 | which ought to have been an international work and which would have 1971 1, 18 | Tikopia, and took as guide and interpreter a deserter found on the 1972 2, 15 | southern seas. I would not interrupt him; but, some minutes later, 1973 2, 19 | sir!" he said, hastily interrupting me. ~"But I and my companions 1974 1, 1 | surprising velocity; as, in an interval of three days, the Governor 1975 2, 9 | frightful-looking poulps, interweaving their tentacles like a living 1976 1, 14 | nose and mouth; one is to introduce fresh air, the other to 1977 2, 16 | and raising the bows.
