Will they ever escape?

Darren Hello again, I’m Darren. Let’s dive down 20,000 leagues under the sea, to meet the three men in our story who are under control of Captain Nemo on a submarine vessel, the Nautilus…

The days and weeks pass and the Nautilus and its crew travel around the world’s oceans visiting places, such as the lost city of Atlantis, they fish for giant pearls, they travel to the South Pole and get stuck in the ice and they get attacked by a group of enormous squid. But the men know they cannot stay on board the Nautilus forever -and they need to get away.

Then things get worse . Captain Nemo attacks a warship. Arronax - the scientist who’s being held on the vessel - doesn’t know which country the ship belongs to but is shocked when he sees Nemo sink it, claiming he wants to take revenge on the people who took away his family and country.

The men know they’ve got to get off the ship but just as they do, the Nautilus gets trapped in a giant whirlpool. Round and round it spins in the frothing water - it looks unlikely that anyone will get through it - but amazingly the men emerge unconscious, floating in a small boat, and they finally wake up on dry land, inside a fisherman’s hut. What an adventure - it’s one that Aronnax decides to write about in a book about his journey under the sea. As for Captain Nemo - we can only assume he drowned and won’t be getting up to any mischief anymore!

And that’s been my story about his story! I hope you found it exciting and that you’ll join me for another one soon. Bye for now.
