Chapter 28 de 37 · 10 min para leer el chapter
In Chapter 28, Aouda, Fix, and Passepartout use whist to keep Phileas Fogg from encountering Colonel Stamp Proctor as their train crosses the mountains. When a damaged bridge blocks the route, the engineer races across despite Passepartout’s unheard suggestion to separate passengers from the train, and the bridge collapses behind them.
Qué sucede
- The train travels through snowy mountain country, while Passepartout worries about delays.
- Aouda spots Colonel Stamp Proctor and enlists Fix and Passepartout to prevent a meeting with Fogg.

- A signalman stops the train because the bridge near Medicine Bow has broken cables and cannot safely carry it.
