Theyreachedtheirdestinationonthemorningofthe14thNovember。
PhileasFogglostnotimeingoingonboardthe`Carnatic'，wherehelearned，toAouda'sgreatdelight-andperhapstohisown，thoughhebetrayednoemotion-thatPassepartout，aFrenchman，hadreallyarrivedonherthedaybefore。
TheSanFranciscosteamerwasannouncedtoleavethatveryevening，anditbecamenecessarytofindPassepartout，ifpossible，withoutdelay。
MrFoggappliedinvaintotheFrenchandEnglishconsuls，and，afterwanderingthroughthestreetsalongtime，begantodespairoffindinghismissingservant。Chance，orperhapsakindofpresentiment，atlastledhimintotheHonourableMrBatulcar'stheatre。HecertainlywouldnothaverecognizedPassepartoutintheeccentricmountebankscostume；butthelatter，lyingonhisback，perceivedhismasterinthegallery。Hecouldnothelpstarting，whichsochangedthepositionofhisnoseastobringthe`pyramid'pell-melluponthestage。
AllthisPassepartoutlearnedfromAouda，whorecountedtohimwhathadtakenplaceonthevoyagefromHongKongtoShanghaionthe`Tankadere'，incompanywithoneMrFix。
Passepartoutdidnotchangecountenanceonhearingthisname。Hethoughtthatthetimehadnotyetarrivedtodivulgetohismasterwhathadtakenplacebetweenthedetectiveandhimself；andintheaccounthegaveofhisabsence，hesimplyexcusedhimselfforhavingbeenovertakenbydrunkenness，insmokingopiumatataverninHongKong。
MrFoggheardthisnarrativecoldly，withoutaword；andthenfurnishedhismanwithfundsnecessarytoobtainclothingmoreinharmonywithhisposition。WithinanhourtheFrenchmanhadcutoffhisnoseandpartedwithhiswings，andretainednothingabouthimwhichrecalledthesectaryofthegodTingou。
ThesteamerwhichwasabouttodepartfromYokohamatoSanFranciscobelongedtothePacificMailSteamshipCompany，andwasnamedthe`GeneralGrant'。Shewasalargepaddle-wheelsteameroftwothousandfivehundredtons，wellequippedandveryfast。Themassivewalking-beamroseandfellabovethedeck；atoneendapiston-rodworkedupanddown；andattheotherwasaconnecting-rodwhich，inchangingtherectilinearmotiontoacircularone，wasdirectlyconnectedwiththeshaftofthepaddles。The`GeneralGrant'wasriggedwiththreemasts，givingalargecapacityforsails，andthusmateriallyaidingthesteampower。Bymakingtwelvemilesanhour，shewouldcrosstheoceanintwenty-onedays。PhileasFoggwasthereforejustifiedinhopingthathewouldreachSanFranciscobythe2ndDecember，NewYorkbythe11th，andLondononthe20th，-thusgainingseveralhoursonthefataldateofthe21stDecember。
Therewasafullcomplementofpassengersonboard，amongthemEnglish，manyAmericans，alargenumberofCooliesontheirwaytoCalifornia，andseveralEastIndianofficers，whowerespendingtheirvacationmakingatouroftheworld。Nothingofmomenthappenedonthevoyage；thesteamer，sustainedonitslargepaddles，rolledbutlittle，andthe`Pacific'almostjustifieditsname。MrFoggwasascalmandtaciturnasever。Hisyoungcompanionfeltherselfmoreandmoreattachedtohimbyothertiesthangratitude；hissilentbutgenerousnatureimpressedhermorethanshethought；
anditwasalmostunconsciouslythatsheyieldedtoemotionswhichdidnotseemtohavetheleasteffectuponherprotector。Aoudatookthekeenestinterestinhisplans，andbecameimpatientatanyincidentwhichseemedlikelytoretardhisjourney。
SheoftenchattedwithPassepartout，whodidnotfailtoperceivethestateofthelady'sheart；and，beingthemostfaithfulofdomestics，heneverexhaustedhiseulogiesofPhileasFogg'shonesty，generosityanddevotion。HetookpainstocalmAouda'sdoubtsofasuccessfulterminationofthejourney，tellingherthatthemostdifficultpartofithadpassed，thatnowtheywerebeyondthefantasticcountriesofJapanandChina，andwerefairlyontheirwaytocitedplacesagain。ArailwaytrainfromSanFranciscotoNewYork，andatransatlanticsteamerfromNewYorktoLiverpool，woulddoubtlessbringthemtotheendofthisimpossiblejourneyroundtheworldwithintheperiodagreedupon。
OntheninthdayafterleavingYokohama，PhileasFogghadtraversedexactlyonehalfoftheterrestrialglobe。The`GeneralGrant'passed，onthe23rdNovember，theonehundredandeightiethmeridian，andwasattheveryantipodesofLondon。MrFogghad，itistrue，exhaustedfifty-twooftheeightydaysinwhichhewastocompletethetour，andtherewereonlytwenty-eightleft。But，thoughhewasonlyhalf-waybythedifferenceofmeridians，hehadreallygoneovertwo-thirdsofthewholejourney；

Ithappenedalso，onthe23rdofNovember，thatPassepartoutmadeajoyfuldiscovery。ItwillberememberedthattheobstinatefellowhadinsistedonkeepinghisfamousfamilywatchatLondontime，andonregardingthatofthecountrieshehadpassedthroughasquitefalseandunreliable。Now，onthisday，thoughhehadnotchangedthehands，hefoundthathiswatchexactlyagreedwiththeship'schronometers。Histriumphwashilarious。

WherewasFixatthatmoment？
Hewasactuallyonboardthe`GeneralGrant'。
OnreachingYokohama，thedetective，leavingMrFogg，whomheexpectedtomeetagainduringtheday，hadrepairedatoncetotheEnglishconsulate，whereheatlastfoundthewarrantofarrest。IthadfollowedhimfromBombay，andhadcomebythe`Carnatic'，onwhichsteamerhehimselfwassubposedtobe。Fix'sdisappointmentmaybeimaginedwhenhereflectedthatthewarrantwasnowuseless。
