The
Pacific
Railroad
proper
finds
its
terminus
at
this
important
Nebraska
town
.
Omaha
is
connected
with
Chicago
by
the
Chicago
and
Rock
Island
Railroad
,
which
runs
directly
east
,
and
passes
fifty
stations
.
A
train
was
ready
to
start
when
Mr.
Fogg
and
his
party
reached
the
station
,
and
they
only
had
time
to
get
into
the
cars
.
They
had
seen
nothing
of
Omaha
;
but
Passepartout
confessed
to
himself
that
this
was
not
to
be
regretted
,
as
they
were
not
travelling
to
see
the
sights
.
The
train
passed
rapidly
across
the
State
of
Iowa
,
by
Council
Bluffs
,
Des
Moines
,
and
Iowa
City
.
During
the
night
it
crossed
the
Mississippi
at
Davenport
,
and
by
Rock
Island
entered
Illinois
.
The
next
day
,
which
was
the
10th
,
at
four
o'clock
in
the
evening
,
it
reached
Chicago
,
already
risen
from
its
ruins
,
and
more
proudly
seated
than
ever
on
the
borders
of
its
beautiful
Lake
Michigan
.
Nine
hundred
miles
separated
Chicago
from
New
York
;
but
trains
are
not
wanting
at
Chicago
.
Mr.
Fogg
passed
at
once
from
one
to
the
other
,
and
the
locomotive
of
the
Pittsburgh
,
Fort
Wayne
,
and
Chicago
Railway
left
at
full
speed
,
as
if
it
fully
comprehended
that
that
gentleman
had
no
time
to
lose
.
It
traversed
Indiana
,
Ohio
,
Pennsylvania
,
and
New
Jersey
like
a
flash
,
rushing
through
towns
with
antique
names
,
some
of
which
had
streets
and
car-tracks
,
but
as
yet
no
houses
.
At
last
the
Hudson
came
into
view
;
and
,
at
a
quarter-past
eleven
in
the
evening
of
the
11th
,
the
train
stopped
in
the
station
on
the
right
bank
of
the
river
,
before
the
very
pier
of
the
Cunard
line
.
The
China
,
for
Liverpool
,
had
started
three-quarters
of
an
hour
before
!
The
China
,
in
leaving
,
seemed
to
have
carried
off
Phileas
Fogg
's
last
hope
.
None
of
the
other
steamers
were
able
to
serve
his
projects
.
The
Pereire
,
of
the
French
Transatlantic
Company
,
whose
admirable
steamers
are
equal
to
any
in
speed
and
comfort
,
did
not
leave
until
the
14th
;
the
Hamburg
boats
did
not
go
directly
to
Liverpool
or
London
,
but
to
Havre
;
and
the
additional
trip
from
Havre
to
Southampton
would
render
Phileas
Fogg
's
last
efforts
of
no
avail
.
The
Inman
steamer
did
not
depart
till
the
next
day
,
and
could
not
cross
the
Atlantic
in
time
to
save
the
wager
.
Mr.
Fogg
learned
all
this
in
consulting
his
Bradshaw
,
which
gave
him
the
daily
movements
of
the
trans-Atlantic
steamers
.
Passepartout
was
crushed
;
it
overwhelmed
him
to
lose
the
boat
by
three-quarters
of
an
hour
.
It
was
his
fault
,
for
,
instead
of
helping
his
master
,
he
had
not
ceased
putting
obstacles
in
his
path
!
And
when
he
recalled
all
the
incidents
of
the
tour
,
when
he
counted
up
the
sums
expended
in
pure
loss
and
on
his
own
account
,
when
he
thought
that
the
immense
stake
,
added
to
the
heavy
charges
of
this
useless
journey
,
would
completely
ruin
Mr.
Fogg
,
he
overwhelmed
himself
with
bitter
self-accusations
.
Mr.
Fogg
,
however
,
did
not
reproach
him
;
and
,
on
leaving
the
Cunard
pier
,
only
said
:
"
We
will
consult
about
what
is
best
to-morrow
.
Come
.
"
The
party
crossed
the
Hudson
in
the
Jersey
City
ferryboat
,
and
drove
in
a
carriage
to
the
St.
Nicholas
Hotel
,
on
Broadway
.
Rooms
were
engaged
,
and
the
night
passed
,
briefly
to
Phileas
Fogg
,
who
slept
profoundly
,
but
very
long
to
Aouda
and
the
others
,
whose
agitation
did
not
permit
them
to
rest
.
