Around the World in Eighty Days, Chapter 33: riassunto

Cosa succede

1. Fogg wins over the Henrietta’s crew with money, confines Captain Speedy, and directs the ship toward Liverpool instead of Bordeaux.
2. Stormy weather forces reliance on steam, and the engineer warns that the coal cannot last through the voyage.
3. Fogg pays Speedy sixty thousand dollars for the ship’s wood, leaving the captain its iron hull and engine.
4. The crew burns cabins, masts, and decking until the stripped ship reaches the Irish coast.
5. Fogg lands at Queenstown and takes a train through Dublin, then a fast steamer to Liverpool.
6. At Liverpool, with London only six hours away, Fix produces his warrant and arrests Fogg.
