As long as the waves had not cast up the body of the engineer, as long as he, Neb, had not seen with his eyes, touched with his hands the corpse of his master, he would not believe in his death!
Tant que les lames n'auraient pas rejeté le corps de l'ingénieur, tant que lui, Nab, n'aurait pas vu de ses yeux, touché de ses mains, le cadavre de son maître, il ne croirait pas à sa mort!
