CHAPTER 33

On Saturday August 15 the professor was restless since they did not reach the south shore of the sea, this was longer than calculated by the professor, since they had traveled three times as estimated, in that two monsters of the seas make their apparition, they were dinosaurs, and began to fight among them, one of them falls down, and the other disappears in the depths of the sea.

CHAPTER 34

The raft was moving at high speed, several days passed after the incident of the sea monsters, the teacher recorded the measurements of the trip, Hans climbs the mast to observe the horizon, he discovered a strange phenomenon, a water column that expelled upwards, and strong sound, when approaching it can be noticed that it is an island, the profesor in his calculations determined that they have traveled about 270 leguas in the sea, therefore are under England.

CHAPTER 35

After several days of travel, the professor was impatient, because the sea seemed to have no end, suddenly they can see on the horizon a storm, it is beginning to form, Axel suggests lowering the sail and the mast, but the professor said that they leave it, he wants the wind from the storm to take them to the shore, the storm becomes a hurricane, they are dragged with great speed for several days, the professor said they are lost.

CHAPTER 36

CHAPTER 37

The professor could not believe that he was in the same place of his party, Axel told the professor that it was crazy to try again, he said that nothing will stop him and will try again, but at that moment Axel and he walk by the beach, it was not the same one from which they had left, they found fossils of many prehistoric animals considered extinct, but of supernatural dimensions.


CHAPTER 38

After examining the bones of the animals, the professor found a skull, it was human, Axel and the professor were astonished, because they found a complete human body and it was well preserved, leaving aside some of the theories of other scientists, they found many other bodies, wondered how they had gotten there, whether they had lived in the cavern, and whether there could still be people alive.

CHAPTER 39

They continued walking along the beach, they entered a diverse forest with extinct plants, there they looked with amazement at some giant animals, in addition they could appreciate a kind of human, but this one was giant, they could not believe it, they left immediately that place, they came back to the beach, there they found a dagger, and determined that it was theirs, they began to look for inscriptions on the rocks, and found the initials A and S.

CHAPTER 40

They went to look for Hans to begin the journey through the grotto that they found, then Axel thought that the hardships that had happened were positive coincidences, that took them by the correct way, the next day they began the walk into the grotto,  but they found a dead end, they determined that was a rock, they decided to use gunpowder to break the rock.

CHAPTER 41

The next day in the morning they prepared the gunpowder, Axel after lighting the wick goes next to the others on the raft, they move away from the shore, after the explosion the lights go out, the water starts to run, the professor deduced that behind the rock there was an abyss, the same as they have recklessly opened, they continue on the raft, but they have lost their provisions, and they descend endlessly through a gallery for several hours.

CHAPTER 42

After several hours the raft hit bottom, they were fastened to the raft and it returned to the surface, the professor mentions that they are going up quickly, Axel confirms it by touching the wall of the gallery, the professor said that they are in a well, and the water reaches the bottom, it started to fill up, they eat the last supplies they have left, the temperature rises and a strange noise is heard, Axel thinks that it can be a catastrophe that is coming.

CHAPTER 43

Axel thought that an earthquake that was going to happen, the professor replied that it was something bigger, it was a volcanic eruption, and that would help them to go to the surface, since they were in a chimney, the water that propelled them upwards, it had evaporated, they were being driven by volcanic material at high speed, the same time it was interrupted by few minutes, Axel thought that would be his final and lost consciousness.

CHAPTER 44

Axel woke up and was gripped by Hans, with his other hand he held the professor, they were on the edge of an abyss, they had wounds on all sides, because they had rolled down the sides of the crater, they had reached the surface, they descended quickly, found some olive trees and vineyards, they did not know where they were, they found a child and they asked for the place, he answered El Estrómboli, they were islands in the Mediterranean.

CHAPTER 45

They went to the port and went through shipwrecks, on 31 August they took a boat to go to Marcella and later to Hamburg, when arriving the whole town was learned and the professor gained great popularity, in addition, Axel managed to solve the problem of compass, since it was pointing north, as they were going south, their poles had been inverted by the electric current of the storm in the sea of ​​Lidenbrock. Hans returned to Iceland, Axel and Grauben were married, Professor Lidenbrock was recognized around the world.
