“Tonight,” he repeated. “We are a few miles off theSpanish coast. It will be dark, and the wind is blowing in the right direction. You agreed, Dr. Aronnax, to escape（逃跑）with me. Remember your promise!” I said nothing. “At nineo’ clock,” continued Ned Land, “I will go to the stair with Conseil. You will wait in the library for our signal（信号）. I have already put some food in the dinghy（小艇）. Everything is done!”

“The sea is quite rough,” I said.

“Yes, but if we don’t go tonight, we will soon be too far from land!” I knew that he was right. I was also frightened. What would Captain Nemo do if he discovered our plan, or if we failed? I had not seen him for several days. Now, I did not want to see him. He might notice that I was nervous. I stayed in my room as the hours slowly passed.

At seven o’clock, I had dinner in my room. Only two hours to go! I was so nervous that I felt sick. I had a headache. I walked up and down in my room. As I looked around, I saw that Captain Nemo’s bedroom door was open. The room was empty.

It was eight o’clock, and I went to the dark library. As I waited, I felt a bump as the submarine（潜水艇） came to rest on the ocean floor.

The library door opened, and Captain Nemo entered. He told me that we were in Vigo Bay. A Spanish admiral had burned his own ships there in 1702 to prevent the British Navy from taking the huge amount of gold they were carrying. He took me to the window. The crew（船员）were gathering the gold from the sand and bringing it to the submarine. Now, I knew how Captain Nemo had become so rich.
