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；

OnreachingYokohama，thedetective，leavingMrFogg，whomheexpectedtomeetagainduringtheday，hadrepairedatoncetotheEnglishconsulate，whereheatlastfoundthewarrantofarrest。IthadfollowedhimfromBombay，andhadcomebythe`Carnatic\'，onwhichsteamerhehimselfwassubposedtobe。Fix\'sdisappointmentmaybeimaginedwhenhereflectedthatthewarrantwasnowuseless。
