Mr.
Fogg
heard
this
narrative
coldly
,
without
a
word
;
and
then
furnished
his
man
with
funds
necessary
to
obtain
clothing
more
in
harmony
with
his
position
.
Within
an
hour
the
Frenchman
had
cut
off
his
nose
and
parted
with
his
wings
,
and
retained
nothing
about
him
which
recalled
the
sectary
of
the
god
Tingou
.
The
steamer
which
was
about
to
depart
from
Yokohama
to
San
Francisco
belonged
to
the
Pacific
Mail
Steamship
Company
,
and
was
named
the
General
Grant
.
She
was
a
large
paddle-wheel
steamer
of
two
thousand
five
hundred
tons
;
well
equipped
and
very
fast
.
The
massive
walking-beam
rose
and
fell
above
the
deck
;
at
one
end
a
piston-rod
worked
up
and
down
;
and
at
the
other
was
a
connecting-rod
which
,
in
changing
the
rectilinear
motion
to
a
circular
one
,
was
directly
connected
with
the
shaft
of
the
paddles
.
The
General
Grant
was
rigged
with
three
masts
,
giving
a
large
capacity
for
sails
,
and
thus
materially
aiding
the
steam
power
.
By
making
twelve
miles
an
hour
,
she
would
cross
the
ocean
in
twenty-one
days
.
Phileas
Fogg
was
therefore
justified
in
hoping
that
he
would
reach
San
Francisco
by
the
2nd
of
December
,
New
York
by
the
11th
,
and
London
on
the
20th
--
thus
gaining
several
hours
on
the
fatal
date
of
the
21st
of
December
.
There
was
a
full
complement
of
passengers
on
board
,
among
them
English
,
many
Americans
,
a
large
number
of
coolies
on
their
way
to
California
,
and
several
East
Indian
officers
,
who
were
spending
their
vacation
in
making
the
tour
of
the
world
.
Nothing
of
moment
happened
on
the
voyage
;
the
steamer
,
sustained
on
its
large
paddles
,
rolled
but
little
,
and
the
Pacific
almost
justified
its
name
.
Mr.
Fogg
was
as
calm
and
taciturn
as
ever
.
His
young
companion
felt
herself
more
and
more
attached
to
him
by
other
ties
than
gratitude
;
his
silent
but
generous
nature
impressed
her
more
than
she
thought
;
and
it
was
almost
unconsciously
that
she
yielded
to
emotions
which
did
not
seem
to
have
the
least
effect
upon
her
protector
.
Aouda
took
the
keenest
interest
in
his
plans
,
and
became
impatient
at
any
incident
which
seemed
likely
to
retard
his
journey
.
She
often
chatted
with
Passepartout
,
who
did
not
fail
to
perceive
the
state
of
the
lady
's
heart
;
and
,
being
the
most
faithful
of
domestics
,
he
never
exhausted
his
eulogies
of
Phileas
Fogg
's
honesty
,
generosity
,
and
devotion
.
He
took
pains
to
calm
Aouda
's
doubts
of
a
successful
termination
of
the
journey
,
telling
her
that
the
most
difficult
part
of
it
had
passed
,
that
now
they
were
beyond
the
fantastic
countries
of
Japan
and
China
,
and
were
fairly
on
their
way
to
civilised
places
again
.
A
railway
train
from
San
Francisco
to
New
York
,
and
a
transatlantic
steamer
from
New
York
to
Liverpool
,
would
doubtless
bring
them
to
the
end
of
this
impossible
journey
round
the
world
within
the
period
agreed
upon
.
On
the
ninth
day
after
leaving
Yokohama
,
Phileas
Fogg
had
traversed
exactly
one
half
of
the
terrestrial
globe
.
The
General
Grant
passed
,
on
the
23rd
of
November
,
the
one
hundred
and
eightieth
meridian
,
and
was
at
the
very
antipodes
of
London
.
Mr.
Fogg
had
,
it
is
true
,
exhausted
fifty-two
of
the
eighty
days
in
which
he
was
to
complete
the
tour
,
and
there
were
only
twenty-eight
left
.
But
,
though
he
was
only
half-way
by
the
difference
of
meridians
,
he
had
really
gone
over
two-thirds
of
the
whole
journey
;
for
he
had
been
obliged
to
make
long
circuits
from
London
to
Aden
,
from
Aden
to
Bombay
,
from
Calcutta
to
Singapore
,
and
from
Singapore
to
Yokohama
.
Could
he
have
followed
without
deviation
the
fiftieth
parallel
,
which
is
that
of
London
,
the
whole
distance
would
only
have
been
about
twelve
thousand
miles
;
whereas
he
would
be
forced
,
by
the
irregular
methods
of
locomotion
,
to
traverse
twenty-six
thousand
,
of
which
he
had
,
on
the
23rd
of
November
,
accomplished
seventeen
thousand
five
hundred
.
And
now
the
course
was
a
straight
one
,
and
Fix
was
no
longer
there
to
put
obstacles
in
their
way
!
It
happened
also
,
on
the
23rd
of
November
,
that
Passepartout
made
a
joyful
discovery
.
It
will
be
remembered
that
the
obstinate
fellow
had
insisted
on
keeping
his
famous
family
watch
at
London
time
,
and
on
regarding
that
of
the
countries
he
had
passed
through
as
quite
false
and
unreliable
.
Now
,
on
this
day
,
though
he
had
not
changed
the
hands
,
he
found
that
his
watch
exactly
agreed
with
the
ship
's
chronometers
.
His
triumph
was
hilarious
.
He
would
have
liked
to
know
what
Fix
would
say
if
he
were
aboard
!
"
The
rogue
told
me
a
lot
of
stories
,
"
repeated
Passepartout
,
"
about
the
meridians
,
the
sun
,
and
the
moon
!
Moon
,
indeed
!
moonshine
more
likely
!
If
one
listened
to
that
sort
of
people
,
a
pretty
sort
of
time
one
would
keep
!
I
was
sure
that
the
sun
would
some
day
regulate
itself
by
my
watch
!
"
Passepartout
was
ignorant
that
,
if
the
face
of
his
watch
had
been
divided
into
twenty-four
hours
,
like
the
Italian
clocks
,
he
would
have
no
reason
for
exultation
;
for
the
hands
of
his
watch
would
then
,
instead
of
as
now
indicating
nine
o'clock
in
the
morning
,
indicate
nine
o'clock
in
the
evening
,
that
is
,
the
twenty-first
hour
after
midnight
precisely
the
difference
between
London
time
and
that
of
the
one
hundred
and
eightieth
meridian
.
But
if
Fix
had
been
able
to
explain
this
purely
physical
effect
,
Passepartout
would
not
have
admitted
,
even
if
he
had
comprehended
it
.
Moreover
,
if
the
detective
had
been
on
board
at
that
moment
,
Passepartout
would
have
joined
issue
with
him
on
a
quite
different
subject
,
and
in
an
entirely
different
manner
.
