Not
at
all
;
but
I
knew
that
some
obstacle
or
other
would
sooner
or
later
arise
on
my
route
.
Nothing
,
therefore
,
is
lost
.
I
have
two
days
,
which
I
have
already
gained
,
to
sacrifice
.
A
steamer
leaves
Calcutta
for
Hong
Kong
at
noon
,
on
the
25th
.
This
is
the
22nd
,
and
we
shall
reach
Calcutta
in
time
.
"
There
was
nothing
to
say
to
so
confident
a
response
.
It
was
but
too
true
that
the
railway
came
to
a
termination
at
this
point
.
The
papers
were
like
some
watches
,
which
have
a
way
of
getting
too
fast
,
and
had
been
premature
in
their
announcement
of
the
completion
of
the
line
.
The
greater
part
of
the
travellers
were
aware
of
this
interruption
,
and
,
leaving
the
train
,
they
began
to
engage
such
vehicles
as
the
village
could
provide
four-wheeled
palkigharis
,
waggons
drawn
by
zebus
,
carriages
that
looked
like
perambulating
pagodas
,
palanquins
,
ponies
,
and
what
not
.
Mr.
Fogg
and
Sir
Francis
Cromarty
,
after
searching
the
village
from
end
to
end
,
came
back
without
having
found
anything
.
"
I
shall
go
afoot
,
"
said
Phileas
Fogg
.
Passepartout
,
who
had
now
rejoined
his
master
,
made
a
wry
grimace
,
as
he
thought
of
his
magnificent
,
but
too
frail
Indian
shoes
.
Happily
he
too
had
been
looking
about
him
,
and
,
after
a
moment
's
hesitation
,
said
,
"
Monsieur
,
I
think
I
have
found
a
means
of
conveyance
.
"
"
What
?
"
"
An
elephant
!
An
elephant
that
belongs
to
an
Indian
who
lives
but
a
hundred
steps
from
here
.
"
"
Let
's
go
and
see
the
elephant
,
"
replied
Mr.
Fogg
.
They
soon
reached
a
small
hut
,
near
which
,
enclosed
within
some
high
palings
,
was
the
animal
in
question
.
An
Indian
came
out
of
the
hut
,
and
,
at
their
request
,
conducted
them
within
the
enclosure
.
The
elephant
,
which
its
owner
had
reared
,
not
for
a
beast
of
burden
,
but
for
warlike
purposes
,
was
half
domesticated
.
