In 1868, rumors spread of a sea monster attacking many ships in the Pacific Ocean.

While clinging to wreckage, Aronnax and Conseil come upon a metal vessel, realizing that the monster is a man-made "submerging boat", which appears deserted.

He explains that he has intentionally withdrawn from civilization, and that the sea provides all he needs.
