The Survivors of the Chancellor

Overview

Professor Lucas Artemius takes the whole team on a cheap expedition to South America, by (antiquated) sailing ship, The Chancellor. Jules soon discovers that Welsh passenger John Ruby is hiding contraband, which turns out to be a novel explosive triggered by contact with water. It's promised to captain Nemo, whose submarine emerges to collect it. Finding Welsh captured with the explosives, he takes on the ship and offers Jules a chance to defect and share in his bid for world-dominance in the name of science.
