Nemo volunteers his submarine, the Nautilus, which is about 10 stories high and as long as an aircraft carrier, and which we soon see cruising the canals of Venice.

Impossible to get there in time, Quartermain says, apparently in ignorance of railroads. When is the meeting? In three days, M says. M informs them that the leaders of Europe are going to meet in Venice and that the mysterious villains will blow up the city to start a world war.

We are not too surprised to discover that Mina Harker is an immortal vampire, since she had those puncture wounds in her throat the last time we saw her, but I wonder if Oscar Wilde knew that Dorian Gray was also immortal and cannot die (or be killed!) as long as he doesn't see his portrait at one point, an enemy operative perforates him with bullets and he comes up smiling.
