Chapter 24 of 37 · 8 min to read the chapter
In Chapter 24, Phileas Fogg finds Passepartout in Yokohama and continues across the Pacific with him and Aouda, while Fix secretly boards their ship. Fix agrees to help rather than delay the journey because he wants Fogg back in England, and the party reaches San Francisco without losing a day.
What happens
- After reaching Yokohama, Phileas Fogg finds Passepartout performing at a theater and gives him money for suitable clothes.
- The reunited party boards the General Grant, and Aouda grows more attached to Fogg during the calm crossing.
- On November 23, the ship crosses the opposite meridian from London, and Passepartout celebrates his watch matching the ship’s clocks.
- Fix receives his arrest warrant in Yokohama but cannot use it outside British territory, so he secretly follows Fogg aboard.
- Passepartout beats Fix, then accepts a limited alliance when the detective promises to help Fogg reach England.
- The General Grant reaches San Francisco on December 3, with Fogg neither ahead nor behind his schedule.
