In Chapter 21, Phileas Fogg and his companions sail toward Shanghai aboard the Tankadere, surviving a typhoon while losing valuable time for their connection to Yokohama. When the American steamer appears before they reach port, Fogg orders a distress flag and a cannon signal to attract its attention.
