About the Book

Villes renversées, forêts déracinées, rivages dévastés par des montagnes d'eau qui se précipitaient comme des mascarets, navires jetés à la côte, que les relevés du Bureau-Veritas chiffrèrent par centaines, territoires entiers nivelés par des trombes qui broyaient tout sur leur passage, plusieurs milliers de personnes écrasées sur terre ou englouties en mer: tels furent les témoignages de sa fureur, qui furent laissés après lui par ce formidable ouragan. Il dépassait en désastres ceux qui ravagèrent si épouvantablement la Havane et la Guadeloupe, l'un le 25 octobre 1810, l'autre le 26 juillet 1825. Or, au moment même où tant de catastrophes s'accomplissaient sur terre et sur mer, un drame, non moins saisissant, se jouait dans les airs bouleversés. En effet, un ballon, porté comme une boule au sommet d'une trombe, et pris dans le mouvement giratoire de la colonne d'air, parcourait l'espace avec une vitesse de quatre-vingt-dix milles à l'heure, en tournant sur lui-même, comme s'il eût été saisi par quelque maelström aérien. Au-dessous de l'appendice inférieur de ce ballon oscillait une nacelle, qui contenait cinq passagers, à peine visibles au milieu de ces épaisses vapeurs, mêlées d'eau pulvérisée, qui traînaient jusqu'à la surface de l'Océan. D'où venait cet aérostat, véritable jouet de l'effroyable tempête? De quel point du monde s'était-il élancé? Il n'avait évidemment pas pu partir pendant l'ouragan. Or, l'ouragan durait depuis cinq jours déjà, et ses premiers symptômes s'étaient manifestés le 18. On eût donc été fondé à croire que ce ballon venait de très loin, car il n'avait pas dû franchir moins de deux mille milles par vingt-quatre heures? en tout cas, les passagers n'avaient pu avoir à leur disposition aucun moyen d'estimer la route parcourue depuis leur départ, car tout point de repère leur manquait. Il devait même se produire ce fait curieux, qu'emportés au milieu des violences de la tempête, ils ne les subissaient pas. Ils se déplaçaient, ils tournaient sur eux-mêmes sans rien ressentir de cette rotation, ni de leur déplacement dans le sens horizontal. Leurs yeux ne pouvaient percer l'épais brouillard qui s'amoncelait sous la nacelle. Autour d'eux, tout était brume. Telle était même l'opacité des nuages, qu'ils n'auraient pu dire s'il faisait jour ou nuit. Aucun reflet de lumière, aucun bruit des terres habitées, aucun mugissement de l'Océan n'avaient dû parvenir jusqu'à eux dans cette immensité obscure, tant qu'ils s'étaient tenus dans les hautes zones. Leur rapide descente avait seule pu leur donner connaissance des dangers qu'ils couraient au-dessus des flots.
