The next day was the 9th of November. I awoke after a long twelve hours of sleep. Conseil came in to great me, while the Canadian continued to sleep for several hours more. I was hoping to see the captain that day, as I had many more questions about his invention. I quickly dressed and went to the sitting room, but was disappointed not to see him in there.

I spent the day examining the various treasures in the sitting room, still amazed at the captain's great collection. That day, the doors were never opened to show the amazing wonders of the ocean.

The next day, the 10th of November, I still had not seen the captain. We were surprised that he still had not come to see us. Was this man ill? Although we never saw the crew of the submarine, we could not complain about our situation. We were fed well, and treated with respect.
