By then it was eight o'clock. The air inside the Nautilus should have been renewed four hours earlier, following daily practice on board. But I didn't suffer very much, although Captain Nemo hadn't yet made demands on the supplementary oxygen in his air tanks.
Het was toen acht uur; sedert vier uren reeds had de lucht volgens de dagelijksche gewoonte ververscht moeten worden; ik had er echter niet veel last van, hoewel kapitein Nemo toch zijn toevlucht nog niet tot zijn luchtvergaarbakken had genomen.
