Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Part 1 Chapter 21~24 Contents

Chapter 21: The submarine went to the Indian Ocean via the Torres Strait, the most dangerous strait on earth, and ran aground on the rocks midway. With the permission of the captain, my two companions and I took a small boat to go to Gueboroal Island. Two friends and I went to the island to pick wild fruits and hunt, and we caught a bird of paradise that was intoxicated by cardamom juice.

Chapter 22: The indigenous Papuans discovered us. They chased us to the beach. Later, they even drew canoes to surround the Nautilus in an attempt to attack us. Captain Nemo passed electricity to the hull of the boat. After being electrocuted, the natives were so frightened that they fled away. The Nautilus was lifted up by the rising tide and left the coral bed just as the captain expected.

Chapter 23: Captain Nemo measured the seawater temperature at different depths and found that the seawater below one thousand meters under water is constant temperature. We witnessed an interesting scene: a seascape caused by the glow of some small jellyfish balls. Captain Nemo suddenly ordered us to be locked up and forced to sleep.

Chapter 24: The captain introduced us to the primitive pearl fishing method, the miserable life of pearl divers, and suggested that we visit the pearl fishing field on Ceylon Island. At the same time, we also saw the "Milk Sea" on the bottom of the sea. The captain took us to the colorful coral kingdom and buried a crew member who died of injuries in the coral cemetery.
