"Nom d'un boulet!" exclaimed Michel Ardan, jumping up as if the projectile were on the point of striking against the terrestrial globe. "And we shall fall back upon the earth!" This revelation acted like a thunderbolt. Who could have expected such an error in calculation? Barbicane would not believe it. Nicholl went over the figures again. They were correct.
There are many interesting traits of this noble character, which, if I had time, I should wish to give my readers.
