Excerpt describing Around the World in 80 Days

“She’s the best,” a rough female voice was heard in response, and after that Marya Dmitrievna entered the room.
All the young ladies and even the ladies, except for the oldest ones, stood up. Marya Dmitrievna stopped at the door and, from the height of her corpulent body, holding high her fifty-year-old head with gray curls, looked around the guests and, as if rolling up, unhurriedly straightened the wide sleeves of her dress. Marya Dmitrievna always spoke Russian.
“Dear birthday girl with children,” she said in her loud, thick voice that overwhelms all other sounds. “Are you an old sinner,” she turned to the count, who was kissing her hand, “do you miss tea in Moscow?” Where to run the dogs? But what, father, to do, this is how these birds will grow up ... - She pointed to the girls. - Whether you like it or not, you need to look for suitors.
- Well, what, my Cossack? (Marya Dmitrievna called Natasha a Cossack) - she said, caressing Natasha with her hand, who approached her hand without fear and cheerfully. - I know that the potion is a girl, but I love it.
From her huge reticule, she took out yakhon earrings with pears and, giving them to Natasha, who was beaming and blushing on her birthday, immediately turned away from her and turned to Pierre.
– Eh, eh! kind! come here,” she said in a mockingly quiet and thin voice. - Come on, my dear...
And she rolled up her sleeves menacingly even higher.
Pierre came up, naively looking at her through his glasses.
"Come, come, dear!" I told your father the truth alone, when he happened to be, and then God commands you.
She paused. Everyone was silent, waiting for what was to come, and feeling that there was only a preface.
- Okay, nothing to say! good boy! ... The father lies on the bed, and he amuses himself, he puts the quarter on a bear on horseback. Shame on you, dad, shame on you! Better to go to war.
She turned away and offered her hand to the count, who could hardly help laughing.
- Well, well, to the table, I have tea, is it time? said Marya Dmitrievna.
The count went ahead with Marya Dmitrievna; then the countess, who was led by a hussar colonel, the right person with whom Nikolai was supposed to catch up with the regiment. Anna Mikhailovna is with Shinshin. Berg offered his hand to Vera. Smiling Julie Karagina went with Nikolai to the table. Behind them came other couples, stretching across the hall, and behind them all alone, children, tutors and governesses. The waiters stirred, chairs rattled, music played in the choir stalls, and the guests settled in. The sounds of the count's home music were replaced by the sounds of knives and forks, the voices of guests, the quiet footsteps of waiters.
At one end of the table, the countess sat at the head. On the right is Marya Dmitrievna, on the left is Anna Mikhailovna and other guests. At the other end sat a count, on the left a hussar colonel, on the right Shinshin and other male guests. On one side of the long table, older youth: Vera next to Berg, Pierre next to Boris; on the other hand, children, tutors and governesses. From behind the crystal, bottles and vases of fruit, the count glanced at his wife and her high cap with blue ribbons and diligently poured wine to his neighbors, not forgetting himself. The Countess, also, because of the pineapples, not forgetting her duties as a hostess, threw significant glances at her husband, whose bald head and face, it seemed to her, were sharply distinguished by their redness from gray hair. There was a regular babble at the ladies' end; voices were heard louder and louder on the male, especially the hussar colonel, who ate and drank so much, blushing more and more that the count already set him as an example to other guests. Berg, with a gentle smile, spoke to Vera about the fact that love is a feeling not earthly, but heavenly. Boris called his new friend Pierre the guests who were at the table and exchanged glances with Natasha, who was sitting opposite him. Pierre spoke little, looked at new faces and ate a lot. Starting from two soups, from which he chose a la tortue, [turtle,] and kulebyaki, and up to grouse, he did not miss a single dish and not a single wine, which the butler in a bottle wrapped in a napkin mysteriously protruded from his neighbor’s shoulder, saying or “drey Madeira, or Hungarian, or Rhine wine. He substituted the first of the four crystal glasses with the count's monogram, which stood in front of each device, and drank with pleasure, looking more and more pleasantly at the guests. Natasha, who was sitting opposite him, looked at Boris, as girls of thirteen look at the boy with whom they had just kissed for the first time and with whom they are in love. This same look of hers sometimes turned to Pierre, and under the look of this funny, lively girl he wanted to laugh himself, not knowing why.
Nikolai was sitting far away from Sonya, next to Julie Karagina, and again, with the same involuntary smile, he spoke something to her. Sonya smiled smartly, but apparently she was tormented by jealousy: she turned pale, then blushed, and with all her might listened to what Nikolai and Julie were saying to each other. The governess looked around uneasily, as if preparing herself for a rebuff, if anyone thought of offending the children. The German tutor tried to memorize the categories of foods, desserts and wines in order to describe everything in detail in a letter to his family in Germany, and was very offended by the fact that the butler, with a bottle wrapped in a napkin, surrounded him. The German frowned, tried to show that he did not want to receive this wine, but was offended because no one wanted to understand that he needed wine not to quench his thirst, not out of greed, but out of conscientious curiosity.

At the male end of the table, the conversation became more and more animated. The colonel said that the manifesto declaring war had already been issued in Petersburg, and that the copy, which he himself had seen, had now been delivered by courier to the commander-in-chief.
- And why is it difficult for us to fight with Bonaparte? Shinshin said. - II a deja rabattu le caquet a l "Autriche. Je crains, que cette fois ce ne soit notre tour. [He has already knocked down arrogance from Austria. I'm afraid our turn would not come now.]
The colonel was a stout, tall and sanguine German, obviously a campaigner and a patriot. He was offended by Shinshin's words.
“And then, we are a fat sovereign,” he said, pronouncing e instead of e and b instead of b. “Then, that the emperor knows this. He said in his manifesto that he cannot look indifferently at the dangers threatening Russia, and that the security of the empire, its dignity and the holiness of alliances,” he said, for some reason especially leaning on the word "unions", as if this was the whole essence of the matter.
And with his infallible, official memory, he repeated the introductory words of the manifesto ... “and the desire, the sole and indispensable goal of the sovereign, is to establish peace in Europe on solid grounds - they decided to send part of the army now abroad and make new efforts to achieve“ this intention “.

* * *

Back in 1872, the English gentleman Phileas Fogg made a bet with other gentlemen that he would travel around the world in 80 days. At the time, it seemed incredible. And he won this bet. That's how it was.

At number seven, Savile Row, London, lived Phileas Fogg, a man of the highest order and attractiveness, but at the same time surrounded by an aura of mystery. Nobody knew anything about him, he had no family, no friends. Undoubtedly, he was very rich, although no one knew where he got his money from. And this gentleman never said anything about himself, and in general he was laconic and said something only in case of absolute necessity.

Phileas Fogg's most notable trait was his punctuality. In the morning he got up at exactly eight o'clock; at eight twenty-three minutes he had breakfast of tea and toasted bread; at nine thirty-seven his servant James Forster brought him shaving water; Twenty minutes to ten Phileas Fogg began to shave, wash and dress. When the clock struck half-past eleven he would go out and spend the whole day at the venerable and famous Reform Club in London.

Phileas Fogg was a tall and handsome man with a noble bearing, blond hair, with penetrating blue eyes that instantly turned into ice when their owner was angry. He always walked with a measured step, never in a hurry, because everything in his life was calculated with mathematical precision.

He lived like this for years, doing the same thing at the same time, but then one day - namely, on the morning of October 2, 1872 - something unexpected happened. The water for shaving was too cold, only eighty-four degrees Fahrenheit instead of eighty-six. Inexcusable negligence! Mr. Fogg, of course, promptly dismissed the unfortunate James Forster, and found another servant in his place.

The young, sociable Frenchman Jean Passepartout, a master of all trades, became the new servant. During his life, he managed to visit many people: a wandering singer, a circus rider, a gymnastics teacher and even a fireman. But now he wanted only one thing - to live a calm and measured life.

He arrived at the house in Savile Row a few minutes before Phileas Fogg left for the club.

“I have heard, Mr. Fogg, that you are the most punctual and calm gentleman in the kingdom,” said Passepartout. That's why I decided to offer you my services.

Do you know my conditions? asked Phileas Fogg.

- Yes, sir.

- Good. From now on, you are in my service.

With these words, Phileas Fogg rose from his chair, took up his hat, and went out of the house, as the clock struck half-past eleven.

Arriving at the Reform Club, an imposing building on Pall Mall Street, Mr. Fogg ordered his usual lunch. After the meal, he, as always, read the latest newspapers until dinner, and then continued this occupation. All the newspapers were full of reports about the sensational bank robbery that had taken place three days earlier. The attacker stole fifty thousand pounds sterling from the Bank of England.

The police suspected that the kidnapper was not an ordinary thief. On the day of the theft, a well-dressed gentleman was walking up and down near the desk where the money lay in the payment hall. Signs of this gentleman were sent to all police agents in England and in the largest ports of the world, and a significant reward was promised for the arrest of the thief.

“Well, most likely the bank lost its money,” said engineer Andrew Stewart.

“No, no,” objected Gauthier Ralph, an employee of the Bank of England, “I am sure that the criminal will definitely be found.

“But I still maintain that all the chances are on the side of the thief,” Stuart said.

Where could he have hidden? asked banker John Sullivan. There is no country where he can feel safe.

- Oh, I don't know. But the Earth is big, said Samuel Fallentine, another banker.

“Once great,” said Phileas Fogg, suddenly speaking.

Stuart turned to him.

"What do you mean, Mr. Fogg?" Why was there once? Has the world gotten smaller?

“Undoubtedly,” said Phileas Fogg.

“I agree with Mr. Fogg,” Ralph said. The earth has really shrunk. Now you can drive around it ten times faster than a century ago.

Brewer Thomas Flenagen intervened in the conversation.

- So what? Even if you travel around the world in three months...

“Eighty days, gentlemen,” Phileas Fogg interrupted. – Take a look at the calculations printed in "Daily Telegraph".

"From London to Suez via Mont Cenis

and Brindisi by train and steamboat 7 days;

from Suez to Bombay by steamer 13 days;

from Bombay to Calcutta by train 3 days;

from Calcutta to Hong Kong by steamer 13 days;

from Hong Kong to Yokohama by steamboat 6 days;

from Yokohama to San Francisco by steamboat 22 days;

from San Francisco to New York by train 7 days;

from New York to London by steamboat and train 9 days

Total: 80 days.

“Well, you know, you can write anything on paper,” Sullivan objected. - After all, neither headwind or bad weather, nor transport breakdowns and other surprises are taken into account here.

“Everything is accounted for,” said Phileas Fogg.

“Mr. Fogg, theoretically, perhaps, it is possible,” said Stuart. But in reality...

“In reality, too, Mr. Stewart.

“I would like to see how you do it. I'm willing to bet £4,000 that a round-the-world trip under these conditions is impossible.

“On the contrary, it is quite possible,” said Phileas Fogg.

- Perfectly. Then prove it to us! exclaimed the five gentlemen.

- With pleasure! I just warn you that the trip is at your expense.

“Very well, Mr. Fogg. Each of us bets £4,000.

- Deal. I have twenty thousand in the bank and I'm willing to risk it... I'll take the train to Dover tonight at a quarter to nine.

- Tonight? Stuart was surprised.

"That's right," said Phileas Fogg. Today is Wednesday, the second of October. I have to return to the saloon of the Reform Club on the twenty-first of December at eight forty-five minutes.

Phileas Fogg left the club at seven twenty-five, having won twenty guineas at whist, and opened the door of his house in Savile Row at ten minutes to eight.

By that time, Passepartout, who had already carefully studied the list of his duties and the daily routine of the owner, knew that it was not the time for his return, so he did not answer when Phileas Fogg called him.

- Passepartout! repeated Mr. Fogg.

This time the servant appeared.

“This is the second time I have called you,” the host remarked coldly.

“But it’s not yet midnight,” the young man objected, glancing at his watch.

“You are right,” agreed Phileas Fogg, “that is why I am not reprimanding you. In ten minutes we'll be leaving for Dover for a round-the-world trip.

Passepartout was horrified.

- Trip around the world?

- Yes, and in eighty days, so there is not a minute to lose. We will take only a bag, a pair of shirts and three pairs of socks. We will buy all the necessary clothes on the way. Now hurry up!

While Passepartout was packing, Mr. Fogg went to the safe, took out twenty thousand pounds sterling in bank notes, and hid it in a bag.

Soon, having securely locked the house, together with the servant, they went in a cab to the station, where they bought two tickets to Paris.

At eight forty Phileas Fogg and his servant were in the first class compartment. Five minutes later the whistle blew and the train started moving. The journey around the world has begun.

The detective is on the trail

The first leg of the journey went pretty smoothly. Exactly one week after his departure from London, Phileas Fogg arrived in Suez on the steamer "Mongolia", but then something unexpected lay in wait for him. A thin, short man was walking up and down the embankment. It was Mr. Fix, one of the many agents of the English police who were sent to the port cities of the world in search of a bank thief.

Mr. Fix was to keep an eye on all the passengers passing through the Suez, and not let the man out of his sight if he aroused his suspicions. The zeal of the detective increased the large reward promised by the Bank of England. Mr. Fix had little doubt that the intruder had arrived in Suez in the Mongolia. Meanwhile, the embankment was filled with a crowded crowd. Porters, merchants, sailors of different nationalities, fellahs jostled in anticipation of the arrival of the steamer. Finally, the ship moored to the shore, the ladder was lowered.

Around the World in 80 Days was published in 1872. The book is perfect for adventure and travel lovers! Together with the main characters, readers will overcome obstacles that will constantly arise on the way.

In the center of the plot, the aristocrat Phileas Fogg, along with his servant Passepartout, will challenge the London club and try to prove that the earth can be traveled around in just 80 days.

Let's not forget that the action takes place in the 19th century, when there were no planes, and the railways were just being built. Our heroes are fearless and believe in their rightness, and you can find out what came of it by reading the book “Around the World in 80 Days” online for free on our website.

Phileas Fogg is punctual and eccentric. One day, he argues with gentlemen who are members of a famous London club for twenty thousand pounds sterling that it is possible to circumnavigate the Earth in just 80 days.. Nobody believes him, but he does not doubt that it is possible.

So, the bet is made and Fogg, together with a faithful servant, without a second's delay, set off. They begin their journey by going to Paris, and from there they plan to get to Brindisi and Bombay. By coincidence, a bank is robbed in London and all suspicions fall on Mr. Fogg.

Detective Fix is ​​on the trail of Phileas, hoping to apprehend him. Fogg and Passepartout follow their plan, but a railroad breakdown causes them to continue on elephants. . In the jungle, travelers encounter a strange ceremony.

According to the ancient custom of the Brahmins, they want to burn a young widow with her dead husband. Of course, our travelers took the risk and saved the girl from death. Aouda runs with them, followed by the Brahmins and Mr. Fix.

The detective incites local priests to take Fogg and Passepartout into custody for violating Indian customs, while he himself awaits a warrant for their arrest from London. The resourceful Phileas manages to get out on bail. Aouda has nowhere to settle down and they decide to take her with them to Europe.

Then they travel to different countries, and Detective Fix builds additional obstacles for them. All their adventures and dangers cannot be briefly told. Jules Verne's novel should be read in its entirety.

Some reasons why you should read the book

1. Despite the fact that the work is about 150 years old, it is easy to read and fascinating, it is written in a lively, easy language. The idea of ​​crossing the Earth by land and sea is grandiose and amazing . Many are inspired to take a trip after reading this exciting adventure book.
2. The main characters are written with great skill. . So, Mr. Fogg became the embodiment of the traditional British character, combining composure, punctuality, equanimity and perseverance. Jean Passepartout is the exact opposite of his master. He is a merry fellow, a fidget, and was hired by Phileas only for the reason of rest, because he is a born homebody. It is interesting to read what news made Passepartout that they were embarking on a dangerous journey around the world.
3. Knowingly Jules Verne describes in the book all the vehicles known at that time , starting with locomotives and ending with riding elephants. You vividly imagine how people of those years traveled.
4. The work describes the real Indian ritual "Sati", according to which the widow is burned alive along with her deceased husband. According to some reports, Jules Verne was an unwitting witness to this tradition, which he captured in the novel.

If you are interested in the summary of the book

"Around the World in 80 Days" is an adventure novel by the famous French writer Jules Verne, which tells about the amazing journey of an eccentric Englishman named Phileas Fogg and his faithful French servant Jean Passportou. The novel was written in 1872 and first published in 1873.

The protagonist of the novel, Phileas Fogg, is a very rich man, but no one knows how he made his fortune. Fogg is distinguished by his particular punctuality, which concerns not only the time of arrival for various kinds of meetings, but also everyday, seemingly not very important things, for example, the temperature of the toast. In addition, the hero has exceptional mathematical abilities.

The story begins with a robbery of the Bank of England, and when witnesses draw up a portrait of the criminal, he turns out to be very similar to Fogg. At the same time, in the Reform Club of London, he makes a daring bet that he will be able to go around the world for 80 days (at that time it was the maximum possible speed for this event). As soon as the bet is broken, Fogg and his servant immediately go to the station, and they are mistakenly chased by the inspector of Scotland Yard, Mr. Fix, who decides that Fogg is the same criminal who committed the robbery, and the dispute is just an averting event.

The journey brings Fogg and Passport a lot of fun adventures, but the heroes also face dangers. Cheerful travelers have to move on steam locomotives, balloons, airplanes, schooners, packet boats, and one day a real elephant becomes their transport. Their path lies through England, France, India, China, Egypt, Japan and America.

The main danger awaits the heroes in India, where they meet the beautiful girl Auda, her husband, the rajah, has died, and the young lady is waiting to be burned along with the body of her late husband. Fogg and Passportu cannot leave the girl in trouble, they save Auda and she becomes a new member of their expedition.

Despite numerous ups and downs, the ending of the book is very optimistic - Fogg, Passport and Auda return to England on time, thus winning the bet. By this time, it also turns out that Fogg is not guilty of the crime and all suspicions are removed from him, and he makes an offer to Auda.

The basis of the novel was a curious scientific fact, which makes itself felt at the end of the work. The fact is that if you go around the world from east to west, you can gain one day, but if you start the journey in the opposite direction, one day, on the contrary, will be lost. The writing of the novel was preceded by an essay by Jules Verne, in which he talks about the fact that the planet can have as many as three Sundays in one week. So, if one person remains in place, the second travels around the world from west to east, and the other from east to west, and these three people meet, it turns out that for one of them Sunday was yesterday, for the other it is today, and for the second - it has yet come and will be tomorrow. In Around the World in 80 Days, Jules Verne explains this scientific fact, but it also deals with the interpretation of many other interesting hypotheses about our world.

Around the World in Eighty Days is a popular adventure novel by Jules Verne. It tells about the journey of the Englishman Phileas Fogg and his French servant Jean Passepartout around the world, undertaken as a result of a bet.

The action of the novel begins on October 2, 1872 in London, at number 7 in Savile Row, with the fact that Phileas Fogg hires a new servant - Jean Passepartout. After that, Fogg went to the Reform Club, of which he was a member. While playing whist, the members of the club began to discuss a high-profile incident - three days ago, on September 29, a bundle of bank notes worth fifty-five thousand pounds sterling was stolen from the office of the chief cashier of the Bank of England. This conversation led to an unexpected ending - Phileas Fogg made a bet with his partners that he would travel around the world in 80 days. There were 20,000 pounds at stake. In the evening of the same day, Fogg and Passepartout arrived at Charing Cross station, took two first-class tickets to Paris, and set off on their journey at 20:45.

2 Suez

The travelers arrived in Paris on October 3, at 7:20 in the morning, and at 8:40 in the morning they had already departed further. On October 4, Fogg and Passepartout arrived in Turin, and on October 5 in Brindisi. There they boarded the Mongolian packet boat and set sail on the Suez Canal. October 9, at 11 am, "Mongolia" arrived in Suez.

On the waterfront in Suez, Detective Fix was waiting for the arrival of the packet boat. He was one of those English police agents who were sent to various ports after the theft at the Bank of England. Fix was to keep a close watch on travelers passing through the Suez, and if any of them seemed suspicious to him, follow him pending a warrant of arrest.

Fogg and Passepartout went ashore to visit the British consulate. Formally, they did not need a visa to visit India, where they were going. But Fogg wanted to document his passage through the Suez. As soon as Fix saw Fogg, he immediately decided that this was the man who had robbed the bank. Then he talked to Passepartout and became even more convinced of his opinion. Fix then sent the following dispatch to the Director of the London Police:

From Suez to London.
Rowan, Director of Police, Central Office, Scotland Place.
I'm chasing the thief who robbed the Bank of England, this is Phileas Fogg. Send the arrest warrant to Bombay (British India) without delay.
Fix, police agent.

A quarter of an hour later Fix, with a light suitcase in his hands, but with a solid supply of money, stepped on the deck of the Mongolia.

3 Bombay

By noon on October 20, the Indian coast appeared. At half past four, the packet boat landed on the Bombay embankment. "Mongolia" was supposed to arrive in Bombay only on October 22. Hence, since leaving London, Fogg has accumulated a gain of two days.

The train from Bombay to Calcutta left exactly at eight o'clock in the evening. Mr. Fogg left the packet and gave Passepartout detailed instructions on the account of purchases, warning him to be at the station by all means before eight o'clock, while he himself went to the passport office.

Detective Fix, meanwhile, hurried to the director of the Bombay police. But a warrant for the arrest of Phileas Fogg has not yet been received. Fix tried to get a warrant from the chief of the Bombay police, but he refused.

Meanwhile, Passepartout, having made the necessary purchases, was strolling through the streets of Bombay. He was already on his way to the station when on the way he met the wonderful Malabar Hill Pagoda. Passepartout wanted to inspect it from the inside, but he did not know two things: that, firstly, entry into some Hindu pagodas for Christians is strictly forbidden, and, secondly, that you must enter there, leaving your shoes at the threshold. Passepartout entered the pagoda without realizing that he was committing a crime. And suddenly three priests pounced on Passepartout, threw him to the floor and, tearing off his shoes and socks, began to beat him. With a punch and a kick, the Frenchman knocked down two opponents, ran out of the pagoda and soon left the third priest behind. Five minutes to eight, a few minutes before the departure of the train, with his head uncovered, barefoot and without purchases, Passepartout ran to the station. The travelers went to Calcutta, and Fix, who was watching them at the station, decided to stay in Bombay.

4 Colby. Journey through the jungle

On October 22, at eight o'clock in the morning, the train stopped fifteen miles from Rotal station, in the village of Kolbi. It turned out that the railway was not completed further. Passengers had to overcome the distance of fifty miles from Kolbi to Allahabad on their own strength and means. And from Allahabad the line continued on. Fogg remained calm, as he had two days to spare. He planned to have time to arrive in Calcutta by October 25, since on that day the ship should leave for Hong Kong.

Most of the passengers were aware of this break in the railway track. After getting off the train, they quickly took possession of all the means of transportation that the village had at its disposal. Mr. Fogg and his companion, Sir Francis Cromartie, searched the whole village, but found nothing. But Passepartout found an elephant. The owner of the elephant and Fogg bargained for a long time. The Hindu clearly wanted to profit, finally, he was satisfied with the amount of two thousand pounds sterling. Then the travelers found themselves a guide - "a young Parsee with an intelligent face."

The Parsee covered the elephant's back with a kind of blanket and hung a basket on each side. Sir Francis Cromarty took his place in one basket, Phileas Fogg in another. Passepartout sat on the back of the animal, the Parsi climbed onto the elephant's neck, and at nine o'clock the animal left the village, heading for Allahabad along the shortest road through a dense palm forest.

On several occasions the travelers met ferocious crowds of Hindus, who with angry gestures saw off the fleet-footed animal. The Parsee, as far as possible, strove to avoid such meetings, rightly considering them dangerous. At eight o'clock in the evening the main Vindhya mountain range was left behind, and the travelers decided to spend the night in a ruined bungalow at the foot of the northern slope of the ridge. About twenty-five miles were covered in a day, the same distance remained to Allahabad station. The night passed quietly.

At six o'clock in the morning the travelers set off again. In the afternoon they met a procession of Brahmins. Hiding in the jungle, they went unnoticed, but they were able to see the procession. The Hindus carried the body of the deceased raja, and also led his young widow. At dawn the next day, the body of the old man was to be burned, and, according to local tradition, the widow was to go to the fire with him. The guide told the travelers about this girl. This Hindu beauty from the Parsi tribe was the daughter of a wealthy merchant from Bombay. She received a good upbringing and education at the European level. Her name was Auda. Left an orphan, she was forcibly given in marriage to the old Rajah of Bundelkhand. Three months later, Auda was widowed. Knowing the fate that awaited her, she fled, but was caught. And now she was going to be executed.

Fogg decided to save the girl. Travelers followed the procession, waited for the night. But it was not possible to steal the unfortunate woman at night, she was well guarded. The morning has come, it's time to burn. Travelers already thought that everything was in vain, when suddenly something unexpected happened. There was a general cry of horror. The crowd sprawled on the ground in fear. The old raja came to life, rose from his bed, took his young wife in his arms and descended from the fire, shrouded in clouds of smoke. But it was actually Passepartout. While the Indians were under the impression of what had happened, the kidnappers with the girl rushed to run. The trick was quickly revealed, the priests rushed in pursuit, but they failed to catch up with the elephant.

At ten o'clock in the morning they arrived at Allahabad station. Auda, under the influence of the dope to which the priests subjected her, gradually came to her senses. Fogg paid off the guide and gave him the elephant. Soon the travelers boarded the train and went on.

5 Kolkata

On October 25, at 7 o'clock in the morning, Fogg, Passepartout and Auda arrived in Calcutta. The steamer, bound for Hong Kong, was anchored only at noon, the travelers had another 5 hours to spare. At the exit of the station, a policeman approached Fogg and asked them to follow him. Fogg and Passepartout were then arrested and due to appear in court at 8:30 am.

Priests from the Malabar Hill Pagoda in Bombay were present at the trial. Phileas Fogg and his servant were accused of sacrilegious desecration of a Brahmin shrine. Also in the hall was Fix, who brought the Bombay priests to Calcutta.

As a result, the court decided to sentence Passepartout to two weeks in prison and a fine of three hundred pounds, and Phileas Fogg to eight days in prison and a hundred and fifty pounds fine. But Fogg paid a bond of £2,000 and the travelers were released.

At 11 am Mr. Fogg, Aouda and Passepartout were already on the embankment. Half a mile away, in the roadstead, was the Rangoon. They got into the boat and went to the ship. They had to overcome three and a half thousand miles, which took 11-12 days. The first part of the ride on the Rangoon was in excellent conditions, with good weather. Phileas Fogg intended to board the steamer in Hong Kong for Yokohama on November 5th. But after visiting Singapore, the weather turned bad. The ship was caught in a storm. It subsided only on the afternoon of November 4th. The Rangoon rushed forward with great speed. But it was no longer possible to make up for the lost time completely.

6 Hong Kong

Fogg was scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong on November 5th, but did not arrive until the 6th. At one o'clock in the afternoon the steamer moored to the embankment and the passengers began to disembark. Luckily for Mr. Fogg, the steamer Carnatic on which Mr. Fogg planned to sail, needed repairs to the boiler, so her sailing was postponed from November 5 to November 7. Had he sailed on time, the travelers would have had to wait eight days for the next steamer.

The Carnatic was due to sail at five o'clock in the morning, so that Mr. Fogg had sixteen hours to attend to business, that is, the arrangement of Mrs. Aouda. He rented a room for her at the Club Hotel, and he himself went to the stock exchange. There, Fogg found out that Auda's relative no longer lived in China, he amassed a large fortune and moved to Europe, presumably to Holland. Returning to the hotel, Mr. Fogg invited the girl to go with him to Europe.

Meanwhile, Passepartout went to order cabins and learned that the repair of the Carnatic was completed, and the packet ship would not leave the next morning, but that same day at eight o'clock in the evening. On the embankment, the Frenchman met Fix, and together they went into a tavern. After drinking wine, they started talking, and then Fix told Passepartout that he was a police agent and asked him to help him detain Fogg in Hong Kong. Passepartout flatly refused. However, Fix managed to get him so drunk that Passepartout took a drag from his opium pipe and fell asleep. He failed to warn Mr. Fogg of the ship's departure. After sleeping for 3 hours, Passepartout overcame the stupefying effect of the drug and woke up. He left the bed of drunkards and staggered out of the censer. The steamer was already smoking, ready to sail. Passepartout managed to climb aboard and fell unconscious. The next day the Frenchman woke up and found to his horror that Mr. Fogg and Auda were not on the ship.

Meanwhile, Fogg and Aouda arrived at the quay to find that the steamer had left the day before. Where Passepartout had gone, they did not know. Fix approached them and introduced himself as a passenger who also missed the Carnatic. Mr. Fogg did not lose his cool and began to look for another ship that could take them to Yokohama. Soon he found the owner of one vessel, who helped to find a way out of the situation. The way to Yokohama was too long, and he suggested sailing to Shanghai, located twice as close. According to this sailor, a packet boat bound for San Francisco leaves from Shanghai, and only stops in Yokohama. From Shanghai, the ship should depart on November 11 at 7 pm. They had four days left.

At 15:10, November 7, the sails were raised on the schooner Tankadera. The passengers were already on deck, and the schooner set off for Shanghai. Most of the voyage went smoothly, but then the ship got into a strong storm. Miraculously, the Tankadera remained afloat, but several hours were lost. When the storm ended, the schooner again rushed to the goal in full sail. By noon on November 11, the Tankadera was only forty-five miles from Shanghai. There were six hours left before the steamer left for Yokohama.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Shanghai was three miles away. A long black silhouette appeared in the distance - an American packet boat leaving the port at the appointed time. On the bow of the Tankadera was a small bronze cannon that served to signal. Mr. Fogg ordered the flag to be lowered, which was a distress signal, and the signal to be fired from a cannon. As a result, the packet boat picked up Mr. Fogg and Auda from the schooner and set off for Yokohama.

7 Yokohama

On November 13, with the morning tide, the Carnatic entered the port of Yokohama. Passepartout landed on the Japanese coast. He had no money, he had nothing to eat, he did not know how to get to America. The next day, he saw a poster for a Japanese acrobatic troupe, went to its director, Batulkar, and got a job as a clown.

On the same day, on the morning of November 14, Phileas Fogg and Auda arrived in Yokohama. First of all, they went to the Carnatic and found out that Passepartout had indeed sailed on it to Yokohama. But neither in the French, nor in the English consulates, nor on the streets of the city, could Passepartout be found. Fogg was about to despair of finding a servant, when suddenly, obeying some kind of instinct, he went into Batulkar's booth. Passepartout participated in the performance. He himself saw Fogg among the spectators. That same evening, just before the departure of the American packet, Mr. Fogg and Mrs. Aouda stepped on deck, accompanied by Passepartout.

The packet boat that flew between Yokohama and San Francisco was called the General Grant. Traveling at twelve miles an hour, the packet ship was supposed to cross the Pacific Ocean in twenty-one days. Thus Phileas Fogg could count on arriving in San Francisco on December 2nd and arriving in New York on the eleventh and in London on the twentieth.

Swimming went smoothly. Passepartout met Fix on board. The detective persuaded him to become allies, since now it was to his advantage that Fogg should be in England as soon as possible.

8 San Francisco

December 3 "General Grant" entered the Golden Gate and arrived in San Francisco. Mr. Fogg has not yet won or lost a single day. It was 7 o'clock in the morning when Phileas Fogg, Mrs. Auda and Passepartout set foot on the American mainland. Mr. Fogg, when he got off at the wharf, knew at once when the next train to New York left. He left at 6 pm.

The travelers stayed at the International Hotel. Passepartout went shopping, and Phileas Fogg and Mrs. Aouda visited the English consul, endorsed their passports, met Fix, and then happened upon a rally. They tried to stay away, and when the rally turned into a fight, they were about to leave, but suddenly got into the epicenter of the dump, as a result, Fix received a blow to the head, and they had to urgently change their costumes for new ones.

At a quarter to six the travelers arrived at the station and found the train ready to depart. They went to New York.

9 Adventures on the road across America

The train journey from San Francisco to New York was supposed to take seven days. However, during the journey, many events occurred that delayed the train. The first such event was a meeting with a herd of bison. The train had to stop and let a herd of ten or twelve thousand heads cross the railroad tracks. The passage of the bison lasted three long hours.

The second event occurred during the passage of the Rocky Mountains. The train suddenly stopped in front of a red semaphore signal. The lineman, who was sent by the head of the neighboring station to meet the train, reported that the suspension bridge over Medicine Bow was loose and could not withstand the weight of the train. The bridge was one mile away. Across the bridge, twelve miles from the river, was a station where, in six hours, an oncoming train would come and pick up passengers. Nobody liked this option. But then the train driver suggested that if the train was run at top speed, there was some chance of slipping through. Passengers liked this offer. The engineer backed up, pulled the train almost a mile back. Then the whistle blew and the train sped forward. He picked up speed until it reached its extreme limit. The train was moving at a hundred miles an hour, barely touching the rails. And he made it safely across the river. Immediately afterwards, the bridge crashed into the waters of Medicine Bow.

But the most serious event was still waiting for the travelers ahead. Mr. Fogg and Fix met Colonel Stamp W. Proctor on the train. They had a conflict with this man at a rally in San Francisco. Both Fogg and Proctor wanted to settle the issue of honor, a duel was brewing. They wanted to get off at the nearest station to have a duel. But due to the delay of the train, passengers were not allowed to disembark on it. The conductor offered to shoot right on the train. Both opponents and their seconds, led by the conductor, went through the entire train to the rear car. But before they had time to begin their work, wild cries were suddenly heard. Shots were fired after them. The shooting began somewhere near the locomotive and went along the carriages. Colonel Proctor and Mr. Fogg, with revolvers in their hands, jumped out of the car onto the platform and rushed forward, from where most of the shots and screams were heard. The train was attacked by a detachment of Sioux Indians.

The Indians had guns. Travelers, also almost all armed, responded to rifle shots with revolver fire. First of all, the Indians rushed to the locomotive. The driver and fireman were stunned by the blows of brass knuckles. The Sioux leader wanted to stop the train, but, not knowing the control, turned the regulator knob in the opposite direction and added steam. The Indians flooded the wagons. They jumped over rooftops, burst through doors and windows, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with passengers. The travelers bravely defended themselves. A dozen or two Indians killed on the spot had already fallen to the canvas, and the wheels of the train crushed the attackers, who were falling off the platforms onto the rails like worms.

The struggle, which had already lasted ten minutes, would have inevitably led to the victory of the Indians, if the train had not been stopped. Fort Kearney station was no more than two miles away. There was an American military post there, but if the fort had been passed without stopping, then the Indians would have remained the masters of the train until the next station. Passepartout undertook to stop the train. Unnoticed by the Indians, he slipped under the car. The Frenchman with the agility and flexibility of a former gymnast, clinging to chains, buffers and brake levers, made his way under the cars and finally reached the head of the train. He dropped the safety chains and removed the connecting hook. The uncoupled train began to slow down, and the locomotive rushed forward with renewed vigor.

The train continued to move for several more minutes, but the passengers put the carriage brakes into action, and the train finally stopped less than a hundred paces from Kearney station. The soldiers of the fort, hearing the shooting, hurriedly jumped out to meet the train. The Indians did not wait for them and fled before the train could finally stop. When the travelers made a roll call on the station platform, it turned out that several people were missing, including Passepartout. Many passengers were injured, but all were alive. One of the most serious wounds was received by Colonel Proctor. Mrs. Aouda remained unharmed. Phileas Fogg, although he did not take care of himself, did not receive a single scratch. Fix escaped with a light wound in his arm.

Mr. Fogg feared that Passepartout and the other two missing passengers might have been captured by the Indians. He, along with thirty of the fort's volunteer soldiers, set off in pursuit. Soon the locomotive returned to the station and the train left. Auda and Fix remained waiting at the station. They spent a restless night there. It was only in the morning that the detachment returned with Passepartout and two other passengers. The rescue operation was successful. But the train left, and the next one had to wait until evening. Fix came to the rescue. Even at night, a man suggested that he use an unusual transport - a sleigh with a sail. Fogg agreed.

The wind was favorable. It was blowing straight from the west, and quite strongly at that. The snow had hardened, and Mudge, the owner of the sledge, undertook to carry Mr. Fogg to Omaha Station in a few hours. Trains departed from this station frequently, and there were many lines leading to Chicago and New York. At eight o'clock in the morning the sleigh was ready for departure. The travelers settled into them, wrapped tightly in their travel blankets. Two huge sails were hoisted, and the sleigh glided across the snow at forty miles an hour. By one o'clock they arrived in Omaha.

The direct train was ready to leave. Phileas Fogg and his companions barely had time to get into the carriage. With extreme speed, the train flew through the state of Iowa. At night, he crossed the Mississippi at Davenport and through Rock Island entered the state of Illinois. The next day, December 10, at four o'clock in the evening the train arrived in Chicago. There the travelers boarded a train to New York.

10 New York

On December 11, at a quarter past twelve in the morning, the train stopped at the New York station, located just opposite the pier for the Cunardline steamers. The steamer China bound for Liverpool left anchor forty-five minutes ago.

Mr. Fogg, Mrs. Auda, Fix, and Passepartout crossed the Hudson in a small steamboat and boarded a cab that took them to the St. Nicholas Hotel on Broadway. In the morning, Fogg left the hotel, ordering his servant to wait for him and warn Mrs. Aouda to be ready to leave at any moment. He went to the banks of the Hudson and diligently began to search among the ships that stood at the pier and at anchor in the middle of the river for some kind of steamer, ready to sail. But most of the ships ready to sail were sailing, they were no good for Mr. Fogg.

Suddenly he noticed a ship anchored in front of Bateri. It was an elegantly shaped merchant screw steamer, thick clouds of smoke poured from its chimney, indicating that the ship was about to sail. Phileas Fogg hired a boat, got into it, and found himself at the gangway of the Henrietta. For a long time he persuaded the captain to take him and his companions on board the ship. It seemed that this time money is powerless. But in the end, Fogg still managed to agree with the captain that he would take the travelers to Bordeaux, taking two thousand dollars for each. Half an hour later Mr. Fogg, Mrs. Aouda, Passepartout, and Fix were on board the Henrietta.

The next day, December 13, a man climbed onto the bridge to determine the coordinates of the ship. But it wasn't Captain Speedy. It was Phileas Fogg. During the thirty hours of his stay on board the ship, he so skillfully acted with bank notes that the entire crew went over to his side. And Captain Andrew Speedy was locked up in his cabin. The Henrietta was on its way to Liverpool. From the way Phileas Fogg steered the ship, it was clear that he had once been a sailor.

11 Queenstown

"Henrietta" was on full steam. But on December 16, it became clear that the coal reserves would soon run out, because the amount of fuel was calculated on the way to Bordeaux, and not to Liverpool. The ship continued to sail at full speed, but two days later, on the eighteenth, the engineer announced that there was less than one day of coal left. On the same day, Mr. Fogg bought the ship from Captain Speedy, after which he ordered all the wooden parts of the ship to be used for fuel. First, the poop, cabin, cabins and lower deck went into consumption. The next day, December 19, they burned the spar and its spare parts. They took down the masts and cut them with axes. The next morning, December 20, the bulwark and all the surface parts of the ship, as well as most of the deck, were burned.

On this day, the Irish coast appeared. However, at ten o'clock in the evening the ship was still only abeam Queenstown. Phileas Fogg had only twenty-four hours to reach London. Meanwhile, during this time, "Henrietta" could only reach Liverpool, even going at full speed.

Queenstown is a small port on the Irish coast, where transatlantic steamers unload mail from the United States, from where it is delivered by courier trains to Dublin, and then transported by fast ships to Liverpool, thus being twelve hours ahead of the fastest packet boats of ocean companies. Fogg decided to take the same route.

Around one in the morning, at high tide, the Henrietta entered the port of Queenstown. The passengers disembarked. Mr. Fogg, Mrs. Aouda, Passepartout, and Fix got on the train at half past one in the morning, arrived in Dublin at dawn, and immediately transferred to one of the postal steamers.

12 Liverpool

On December 21, at 11:40 am, Phileas Fogg was at the Liverpool Embankment. He was only six hours from London. At that moment Fix approached him and arrested him. Phileas Fogg was in jail. He was locked up at the Liverpool Customs Police Post, where he was to spend the night awaiting transfer to London. Mrs. Aouda and Passepartout remained at the customs entrance. Neither he nor she wanted to leave this place. They wanted to see Mr Fogg again.

At 2:33 pm, Fix came into Fogg's cell. He was choking, his hair was disheveled. With difficulty he muttered that Mr. Fogg was free, the real thief had been arrested three days before. Phileas Fogg went up to the detective. Looking intently into his face, he pulled both hands back and then, with the precision of an automaton, punched the unfortunate detective with his fists.

Mr. Fogg, Mrs. Aouda, and Passepartout immediately left customs. They jumped into the carriage and in a few minutes were already at the station. The express for London left thirty-five minutes ago. Then Phileas Fogg ordered a special train. At precisely three o'clock, Phileas Fogg, after saying a few words to the engineer about the prize, rushed off, in the company of a young woman and his faithful servant, towards London. It took five and a half hours to cover the distance between Liverpool and London. This would be quite feasible if the path was free throughout. But there were delays along the way.

13 London

When Phileas Fogg arrived at the London station, all the clocks in London showed nine hours to ten minutes. He arrived in London five minutes late. He lose. The travelers went to Mr. Fogg's house in Savile Row.

The next day Aouda, who had fallen in love with Mr. Fogg during the journey, asked him about the marriage. In response, Phileas Fogg confessed his love for her. It was immediately decided to get married the next day. Passepartout went to notify the Reverend Samuel Wilson of the parish of Mary-le-Bone of the upcoming ceremony. There he suddenly learned that today is not Sunday, December 22, but Saturday, December 21. Fogg, without suspecting it, gained a whole day in comparison with his records, for, while traveling around the world, he moved to the east, and, on the contrary, he would lose a whole day if he moved in the opposite direction, that is, to the west.

Passepartout ran as fast as he could to Mr. Fogg. There were only 10 minutes left. Mr. Fogg hurriedly went to the club and managed to break into the hall three seconds before the end of the bet and thereby win the match. A day later, Fogg and Auda were married.
