+\chapter{I Form My Resolution}
+
+Three seconds before the arrival of J. B. Hobson's letter I no more thought
+of pursuing the unicorn than of attempting the passage of the North Sea.
+Three seconds after reading the letter of the honourable Secretary of Marine,
+I felt that my true vocation, the sole end of my life, was to chase this
+disturbing monster and purge it from the world.
+
+But I had just returned from a fatiguing journey, weary and longing
+for repose.  I aspired to nothing more than again seeing my country,
+my friends, my little lodging by the Jardin des Plantes,
+my dear and precious collections---but nothing could keep me back!
+I forgot all---fatigue, friends and collections---and accepted without
+hesitation the offer of the American Government.
+
+``Besides,'' thought I, ``all roads lead back to Europe; and the unicorn
+may be amiable enough to hurry me towards the coast of France.
+This worthy animal may allow itself to be caught in the seas of Europe
+(for my particular benefit), and I will not bring back less than half
+a yard of his ivory halberd to the Museum of Natural History.''
+But in the meanwhile I must seek this narwhal in the North
+Pacific Ocean, which, to return to France, was taking the road
+to the antipodes.\cite{proceedings-full}
+
+``Conseil,'' I called in an impatient voice.

+
+Conseil was my servant, a true, devoted Flemish boy, who had accompanied
+me in all my travels.  I liked him, and he returned the liking well.
+He was quiet by nature, regular from principle, zealous from habit,
+evincing little disturbance at the different surprises of life,
+very quick with his hands, and apt at any service required of him;
+and, despite his name, never giving advice--even when asked for it.
+
+\section{Section marker}
+
+Conseil had followed me for the last ten years wherever science led.
+Never once did he complain of the length or fatigue of a journey,
+never make an objection to pack his portmanteau for whatever
+country it might be, or however far away, whether China or Congo.
+Besides all this, he had good health, which defied all sickness,
+and solid muscles, but no nerves; good morals are understood.
+This boy was thirty years old, and his age to that of his master
+as fifteen to twenty.  May I be excused for saying that I was
+forty years old?

+
+But Conseil had one fault:  he was ceremonious to a degree,
+and would never speak to me but in the third person,
+which was sometimes provoking.
+
+``Conseil,'' said I again, beginning with feverish hands to make
+preparations for my departure.
+
+Certainly I was sure of this devoted boy.  As a rule, I never asked
+him if it were convenient for him or not to follow me in my travels;
+but this time the expedition in question might be prolonged,
+and the enterprise might be hazardous in pursuit of an animal capable
+of sinking a frigate as easily as a nutshell.  Here there was matter
+for reflection even to the most impassive man in the world.
+What would Conseil say?
+
+\section{Another marker}
+
+``Conseil,'' I called a third time.
+
+Conseil appeared.
+
+``Did you call, sir?'' said he, entering.
+
+``Yes, my boy; make preparations for me and yourself too.
+We leave in two hours.''
+
+``As you please, sir,'' replied Conseil, quietly.
+
+``Not an instant to lose; lock in my trunk all travelling utensils,
+coats, shirts, and stockings---without counting, as many as you can,
+and make haste.''
+
+``And your collections, sir?'' observed Conseil.
+
+``They will keep them at the hotel.''
+
+``We are not returning to Paris, then?'' said Conseil.
+
+``Oh! certainly,'' I answered, evasively, ``by making a curve.''
+
+``Will the curve please you, sir?''
+
+``Oh! it will be nothing; not quite so direct a road, that is all.
+We take our passage in the Abraham, Lincoln.''
+
+``As you think proper, sir,'' coolly replied Conseil.
+
+``You see, my friend, it has to do with the monster---the
+famous narwhal.  We are going to purge it from the seas.
+A glorious mission, but a dangerous one!  We cannot tell
+where we may go; these animals can be very capricious.
+But we will go whether or no; we have got a captain who
+is pretty wide-awake.''
+
+\section{Yet Another Marker}
+
+Our luggage was transported to the deck of the frigate immediately.
+I hastened on board and asked for Commander Farragut.
+One of the sailors conducted me to the poop, where I found myself
+in the presence of a good-looking officer, who held out his
+hand to me.
+
+``Monsieur Pierre Aronnax?'' said he.
+
+``Himself,'' replied I. ``Commander Farragut?''
+
+``You are welcome, Professor; your cabin is ready for you.''
+
+I bowed, and desired to be conducted to the cabin destined for me.
+
+The Abraham Lincoln had been well chosen and equipped
+for her new destination.  She was a frigate of great speed,
+fitted with high-pressure engines which admitted a pressure
+of seven atmospheres.  Under this the Abraham Lincoln attained
+the mean speed of nearly eighteen knots and a third an hour---a
+considerable speed, but, nevertheless, insufficient to grapple
+with this gigantic cetacean.

+
+The interior arrangements of the frigate corresponded to its
+nautical qualities.  I was well satisfied with my cabin,
+which was in the after part, opening upon the gunroom.
+
+``We shall be well off here,'' said I to Conseil.
+
+``As well, by your honour's leave, as a hermit-crab in the shell
+of a whelk,'' said Conseil.
+
+I left Conseil to stow our trunks conveniently away, and remounted
+the poop in order to survey the preparations for departure.
+
+At that moment Commander Farragut was ordering the last moorings
+to be cast loose which held the Abraham Lincoln to the pier
+of Brooklyn.  So in a quarter of an hour, perhaps less,
+the frigate would have sailed without me.  I should have missed
+this extraordinary, supernatural, and incredible expedition,
+the recital of which may well meet with some suspicion.
+
+But Commander Farragut would not lose a day nor an hour
+in scouring the seas in which the animal had been sighted.
+He sent for the engineer.
+
+``Is the steam full on?'' asked he.
+
+``Yes, sir,'' replied the engineer.
+
+``Go ahead,'' cried Commander Farragut.
