Detective Fix's Discovery and Plan

Passepartout's family watch is a perfect chronometer, but it is set to London time, causing a discrepancy with the local time in Suez.
Phileas Fogg has left London hastily with a large sum of money, claiming to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a wager.
Fix suspects Fogg's true intentions and is convinced that Fogg will not stop at Suez but continue to Bombay.
Passepartout reveals that Bombay is in India, and it will take ten days to reach by sea from Suez.
Passepartout is concerned about the gas burner he forgot to turn off, as it is burning at his expense during the journey.
Fix decides to send a dispatch to London for a warrant of arrest to be sent to Bombay and plans to follow Fogg to India and arrest him there.
The Mongolia, the steamer bound for Bombay, has a diverse set of passengers, including military officers and rich young English travelers.
The steamer is expected to reach Aden from Suez within the company's regulated time of 138 hours, thanks to its vigorous speed.
The passengers on the steamer are mostly headed to India, with some going to Bombay and others to Calcutta via Bombay, the nearest route after the construction of a railway across the Indian peninsula.
The military officers on board are either part of the regular British forces or command the Sepoy troops, receiving high salaries from the central government.
The purser's hospitable efforts and the diverse mix of passengers make the time pass quickly on the Mongolia.
Detective Fix boards the Mongolia with a small bag and sets off to follow Fogg to India, sending a dispatch to London before departing.

Journey Across Indian Forests

Phileas Fogg and Sir Francis Cromarty, accompanied by Passepartout and a Parsee guide, traveled across Indian forests on an elephant named Kiouni.
The guide chose a route through the forest to save twenty miles of travel, avoiding the capricious turns of the Vindhia Mountains and the in-progress railway line.
Despite the discomfort of the swift elephant ride, Fogg and Cromarty endured it with British phlegm, while Passepartout, mounted on Kiouni's back, adapted to the bouncing and shocks.
The guide stopped the elephant after two hours for an hour of rest, during which Kiouni quenched his thirst and fed on branches and shrubs.
The journey presented a savage landscape, inhabited by a fanatical population practicing the most horrible practices of the Hindu faith, and travelers encountered hostile bands of ferocious Indians.
Passepartout, while amused by monkeys and the journey, worried about the fate of Kiouni once they reached Allahabad, as it would be expensive to transport him further.
They crossed the principal chain of the Vindhias by evening, making a halt in a ruined bungalow, and resumed the journey at six in the morning, hoping to reach Allahabad by evening.
The guide avoided inhabited places and chose to travel under the cover of the woods, as they were only twelve miles away from Allahabad.
The travelers stopped under a clump of bananas to rest and eat, appreciating the healthy and succulent fruit.
The journey continued through a thick forest, extending several miles, with the guide preferring to travel under its cover.
Throughout the journey, Sir Francis slept heavily, Passepartout was wrapped in uneasy dreams, and Mr. Fogg slumbered peacefully.
The travelers aimed to reach Allahabad by evening, with Mr. Fogg hoping to minimize the time lost since the beginning of the tour.

Rescue Mission in "Around the World in 80 Days"

Following Phileas Fogg's Journey Around the World

Passepartout suspects that Fix, whom he met at Suez and later encountered on the Rangoon, is following Mr. Fogg's tracks step by step.
Passepartout believes that Fix could be an agent of Mr. Fogg's friends at the Reform Club, sent to ensure that Fogg completes his journey around the world as agreed upon.
The Rangoon entered the Strait of Malacca on Wednesday, 30th October, and arrived at Singapore the next day, gaining half a day on its prescribed time of arrival.
Phileas Fogg and Aouda disembarked at Singapore, where they explored the park-like island and its tropical clime.
The Rangoon departed from Singapore for Hong Kong, with the intention to reach Yokohama in six days.
The weather changed with the last quarter of the moon, causing heavy seas and occasional storms, but aiding the steamer's progress.
The defective construction of the Rangoon required unusual precautions in unfavourable weather, leading to a loss of time and frustrating Passepartout.
Passepartout expressed impatience due to the expenses incurred in London and expressed belief in Fogg's journey around the world, while Fix doubted it.
Passepartout's expression disturbed Fix, though he didn't know why.
The Rangoon had a diverse group of passengers, including Indians, Ceylonese, Chinamen, Malays, and Portuguese, mostly second-class travellers.
The Rangoon sailed along the coasts of Anam and Cochin China, making rapid progress with the aid of steam and sail.
Passepartout suspected that Fix was spying on Mr. Fogg, but decided not to share his suspicions with his master.

Unexpected Delays in Hong Kong

Passepartout, unable to conceal his satisfaction, was eager to aid the crew during a storm on the Rangoon.
Despite the storm, the Rangoon resumed its rapid speed after the weather cleared.
The delay caused Phileas Fogg to be 24 hours behind schedule.
The pilot informed Fogg that the steamer to Yokohama, the Carnatic, was scheduled to leave the next morning.
The Carnatic had been delayed due to boiler repairs, coincidentally benefiting Fogg's schedule.
Fogg had 16 hours to attend to his business in Hong Kong before the Carnatic's departure.
Fogg learned that Aouda's relative, Jeejeeh, had left for Europe, likely residing in Holland.
Fogg advised Aouda to continue the journey with them to Europe, which she agreed to.
Passepartout was instructed to secure three cabins on the Carnatic for their continued journey.
Hong Kong was obtained by the English in 1842 through the Treaty of Nankin, and has developed into an important city and port.
Hong Kong is located at the mouth of the Canton River, around 60 miles from Macao, a Portuguese town.
The delay in Hong Kong unexpectedly allowed Fogg and Aouda to continue their journey together to Europe.
