"Obviously," I replied. "And for the sake of archaeology, let's hope that sooner or later such excavations do take place, once new towns are settled on the isthmus after the Suez Canal has been cut through-- a canal, by the way, of little use to a ship such as the Nautilus!"
-Es evidente -respondí-, y hay que esperar que los arqueólogos realicen algún día esas excavacíones cuando se erijan nuevas ciudades en el istmo tras la apertura del canal de Suez. Un canal inútil, por cierto, para un navío como el Nautilus.
