[00:00.18]Chapter 11.
[00:02.07]Final words.
[00:05.44]When I came round, I was lying in a fisherman's hut on the Lofoden Isles.
[00:13.18]Ned and Conceal were safe and sound, sitting next to me.
[00:17.84]They grinned from ear to ear when they saw me wake up.
[00:22.62]Conceal held up my leather wallet full of notes.
[00:27.50]He'd saved them for me.
[00:30.56]I grinned back at my friends.
[00:35.19]We had been set free from the Nautilus just in time.
[00:41.03]Ned and Conceal had raised the mast of our small boat and sailed away from the Maelstrom until our boat had capsized in the heavy seas.
[00:51.68]Stranded on the upturned boat, we had then been rescued by Norwegian fishermen.
[00:59.28]But what happened to the Nautilus?
[01:04.16]Did it escape the pull of the Maelstrom?
[01:09.53]Is Captain Nemo still alive?
[01:13.88]Does he slip from ocean to ocean, still sinking ships?
[01:21.89]And will I ever learn who he really was?
[01:28.38]If he lives, then I can only hope that his hatred softens.
[01:36.63]Perhaps the wonders on show below the waves will one day cool his desire for revenge, and he will explore the seas in peace.
[01:48.62]I have told my story as honestly as I can remember it.
[01:56.79]I am not proud to remember some of what I did, but everything I've written is the truth.
[02:06.52]Will anyone believe me?
[02:10.51]Will my research be worth anything if they don't?
[02:16.99]Whatever happens, I shall never forget my journey of 20,000 leagues under the sea.
