Question

For the first time on our long voyage, I went to the captain’s room and knocked on his door. He was s1. to see me. He told me he was writing his life s2. and would throw it into the sea in a bottle b3. he died. I asked him if he would ever let us l4. the Nautilus.

“When you entered the Nautilus seven months ago, I told you that you would n5. leave. That is still my answer. Do not ask me again!”

Ned was disappointed and a6.. “We will try to escape, even if the w7. is bad,” he said.

It was i9. to stand in the strong wind, and he tied himself to the deck. Lightning flashed across the sky. The n10. of the waves, the wind, and the thunder was deafening (震耳欲聾的). At last, the captain came back inside, and the Nautilus descended to fifty meters. Here the water was calm and quiet. It was difficult to believe that the storm was just fifty meters.
