1. What is meant when Conseil tells the Professor, "She no longer answers her helm"?





2. Why do you think that Jules Verne chooses to have the Professor speak in such a complicated manner, such as saying "The language of Faraday" instead of just saying "English"? Does it make the professor more believable as a highly educated person?
