Aouda is slowly growing more and more attached to Fogg. The entire group, Fix included, gets on the steamer to San Francisco. They managed to flag down the steamer in Shanghai and get on. In Yokohama, he tries to join a traveling circus troupe in order to make money to buy himself food-while doing this, though, Fogg finds him. He is distraught when he realizes he left his master behind. Meanwhile, Passepartout managed to get on the steamer to Yokohama, even in his disoriented state. A storm delays them, and they make it to Shanghai just as the steamer is pulling out of the harbor. Fix, posing as a friend, accompanies them. Aouda is with him, since it appears the family member she knew in Hong Kong moved away. He hires a sailor to take them to Shanghai, where they can catch the steamer that will sail to San Francisco before it makes its stop in Yokohama. The next day, Fogg realizes that Passepartout is missing, and that the steamer has sailed without them. Determined to keep Fogg in Hong Kong until he can arrest him, Fix gives Passepartout a dose of opium and he passes out for a long time, thus unable to notify his master of what someone at the port told him: that the steamer would be leaving form Yokohama in the morning instead of the following evening. Passepartout is ever loyal, though, and does not believe that Fogg is the robber. Fix decides that it is time to get Passepartout on his side, and takes him to a tavern to tell him whom his master really is. Fix follows them on, knowing that Hong Kong will be the last bit of British territory they step into, and thus the last chance to arrest Fogg.Ī storm delays them in reaching Hong Kong, but thankfully the steamer to Yokohama, Japan will not be leaving until the following evening, since it needs time for repairs. Fogg bails them out with a large sum of money and they get on the steamer to Hong Kong. At first they think it is because of what happened with Aouda, but actually, Fix has gotten them detained because of Passepartout breaking the law back in Bombay by entering the Hindu temple. They make it to Calcutta, but are immediately arrested.
Fogg decides they need to use the time they have gained to try and save her, and after a number of failed efforts Passepartout disguises himself as the dead prince's corpse and manages to jump up and grab Aouda before they can throw her on the funeral pyre. The group, now including Sir Francis, starts off on the elephant, and after camping for a night they encounter a group of tribal Indians preparing to sacrifice a young woman whose husband, a prince, has just died. In a nearby village, Fogg purchases an elephant from an Indian man and hires a Parsee guide to lead them. Suddenly, though, the train stops-apparently there is a 50-mile span of track that is not yet finished, and passengers must arrange their own transportation to the next point where they can board a train again. Passepartout spends much time gazing out the window at the wild jungles of India. On the train, Fogg and Passepartout meet Sir Francis Cromarty, an Englishman who lives in India. He narrowly escapes the wrath of the priests and makes it to the train station in time. He does not realize that because he is a Christian, he is forbidden to enter in addition, he enters it with shoes on, which is also not allowed.
While waiting for the train that will take them across India from Bombay to Calcutta, Passepartout wanders off into a Hindu temple, hoping to see some of the city's sights before they rush off again. The steamer arrives in Bombay two days ahead of schedule, but the arrest warrant has not yet arrived. He follows Fogg and Passepartout on the steamer Mongolia to India, where he hopes to receive a warrant to arrest Fogg as the robber. Waiting for Fogg at the Suez Canal, where he will take a steamer to Bombay, India, is a detective named Fix apparently, Fogg has been accused of robbing the Bank of England. Since 20,000 pounds are at stake, he fetches Passepartout and they head off right away to circumnavigate the globe. While at the Reform Club, he makes a bet with the other club members that it is possible to go around the world by train and steamer in just eighty days, and that he himself can do it. He has recently hired a new domestic servant, a Frenchman named Passepartout. Phileas Fogg is a wealthy man living in London who is part of the Reform Club, an elite social organization.
