This story is about three men, M. Arronax, his servant, Conseil, and a famous harpooner named Ned Land. They were invited to board the Abraham Lincoln, Captain Farragut's ship. They were asked to help find "the monster" that everyone was talking about. When they boarded the ship, a quarter of an hour later they left France. On November 5, 1867, Ned land spots "the monster". Ned Land harpoons "the monster" knocking almost everyone off of the ship. After a while, Ned Land meets up with M. Arronas and Conseil and they climbed into "the monster". They later find out that "the monster" is actually a submarine called the Nautilus run by Captain Nemo. They explored many islands, got attacked by Papauns, and even got to explore the South Pole. Four months later, Ned Land devises a plan to leave the Nautilus. His plan does not work. In June 1868, after being imprisoned on the Nautilus for seven months, they escape the Nautilus.
