Our continuing story of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
From Mr. Pete
With more of Chapter 1, A Moving Island
First, continuing a little bit from yesterday...
... others swore the monster was more than a mile long.
On the 20th of July 1866, a great ship was leaving India for Australia when it was hit by the mysterious animal, and sunk into the ocean, only five miles off the east coast of Australia. Just three days later, in the Pacific Ocean, the sea animal attacked another ship.
Immediately after these frightening events, people all over the world were talking about the sea animal. Newspapers continually had new stories related to the monster. Scientists, news reporters, and many others wrote many pages about their views on the newly discovered sea monster. For six months, people talked of nothing but the mysterious animal.
Continuing tomorrow with more of Chapter 1, A Moving Island
