If, during our trip, we were able to identify these different varieties of fish, it's because they were attracted by our electric light and tried to follow alongside; but most of them were outdistanced by our speed and soon fell behind; temporarily, however, a few managed to keep pace in the Nautilus's waters.
Nuestra observación, al paso, de las diferentes variedades de peces era posible porque, atraídos éstos por la luz eléctrica, trataban de acompañarnos. La mayor parte quedaban rápidamente distanciados por la velocidad del Nautilus, pero los había, sin embargo, que conseguían mantenerse algún tiempo en su compañía.
