The Early Departure Notice

The Early Departure Notice Plans change suddenly The Carnatic’s repairs finish sooner than expected, and the steamer is set to leave that evening rather than the following morning. Passepartout goes to report the change to Fogg. Fix intervenes Fix draws Passepartout into an opium house and reveals his suspicion about Fogg. He then drugs the servant, preventing the warning from reaching his master.

A Solo Boarding

A Solo Boarding Duty through confusion Passepartout wakes late, recalls the steamer, and reaches the quay just as the Carnatic departs. He boards alone, believing that at least he has not missed the vessel. The separation revealed On board, he discovers that Fogg and Aouda are absent. He understands that Fix’s deception has cost the party its planned connection.

Fogg Charters the Tankadere

Fogg Charters the Tankadere No scheduled passage Fogg discovers that the Carnatic has left and searches the harbor for any vessel that can carry him onward. He refuses to accept a week-long wait. A risky alternative John Bunsby agrees to sail toward Shanghai, where the American steamer can be intercepted. Fogg pays for speed and takes Aouda and Fix with him.

The Shanghai Signal

The Shanghai Signal A final approach The Tankadere reaches the vicinity of Shanghai after a difficult voyage and severe weather. The General Grant is already preparing to depart. A signal across the water Fogg orders the crew to raise a distress flag and fire a signal. The steamer responds, allowing the party to continue toward Japan.

A Reunion in Yokohama

The missing servant is not at the expected meeting point. Recognition from the gallery During a performance, Passepartout spots Fogg and abandons his act, collapsing the troupe’s human pyramid.
