Professor Aronnax and his servant Conseil were invited to join the hunt. During the pursuit, they and harpooner Ned Land unfortunately fell into the water and landed on the monster's back. They discovered that the monster was not a narwhal, but a submarine with a wonderful structure.

The submarine was secretly built by Nemo on a desert island in the ocean. It has a strong hull and uses seawater to generate electricity.
