 8 16|      who called him in mockery Robur the Conqueror. In the tumult
 9 16|       devoted to their leader, Robur.~After a voyage almost completely
10 16|        they had traversed with Robur, and to prove to themselves
11 16|    even superior to the first. Robur and his men had escaped
12 16|     the “Go-Ahead.” Doubtless, Robur, while avenging himself

16 17|       merely as the retreat of Robur the Conqueror. This impenetrable
17 17|      my liberty I argued thus: Robur evidently intends to remain
18 17|       Master of the World with Robur the Conqueror. This man
19 17|   should I resolve to question Robur? Would he consent even to

26 17| seeming to have understood me, Robur reentered the grotto.~How

33 17|       were some signs by which Robur, who must be experienced
34 17| outrageous sea was impossible.~Robur himself was on deck, and
35 17|   without losing a moment. Yet Robur seemed to have no thought
