CHAPTER 39 THE EXPLOSION AND ITS RESULTS
A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XXI
UNDER THE OCEAN By the next day we had nearly forgotten our past sufferings. The first sensation I experienced was surprise at not being thirsty, and I actually asked myself the reason. The running stream, which flowed in rippling wavelets at my feet, was the satisfactory reply. We breakfasted with a good appetite, and then drank our fill of the excellent water. I felt myself quite a new man, ready to go anywhere my uncle chose to lead.
