The next day, Fix learns from a steward that Fogg plans to take a steamship from Hong Kong to Yokohama, Japan, and plots to arrest Fogg in Hong Kong. On the boat, Aouda plays whist with Fogg, and reveals that her never-consummated marriage was arranged.
Their adventure creates a scandal in England, where it is reported that Fogg and Passepartout were imprisoned for desecrating a temple, but posted bail and set sail for Hong Kong the next day. When the "body" appears to rise, the participants flee and Aouda escapes with Fogg, Passepartout and Sir Francis.

That night, they discover a Kali ritual during which Princess Aouda, the widow of a rajah, will be burned to death on a funeral pyre with her late husband. Fogg purchases an elephant, which carries him, Passepartout and Sir Francis Cromarty, another passenger, through the jungle. After Passepartout angers a crowd by chasing a cow, he and Fogg board a train to reach Allahabad, but the train is forced to stop abruptly the next morning when the tracks end in the middle of a jungle. Upon landing, Fix discovers that a warrant for Fogg's arrest cannot be issued because the local consul has received no directive from London. Fogg continues to use his copious supply of cash to bribe the captain and chief engineer to speed the ship to Bombay ahead of schedule. However, the valet is only interested in discussing romance. After arranging with the British consulate to have Fogg arrested when he reaches Bombay, Fix poses as an agent for a steamship company and befriends Passepartout, hoping to get information about Fogg. There Passepartout has his first encounter with Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard, who is following them because he believes that Fogg is responsible for the bank robbery. Lloyd's of London supervises the wagering, and later announces Fogg's arrival at the Suez Canal. In London, meanwhile, betting on Fogg's journey has grown into a national obsession.

Undeterred, Fogg purchases the balloon, called "La Coquette," and after taking off in the airship, he and Passepartout sail over the French countryside.
There, Fogg consults with Gasse, the manager of the Thomas Cook travel store, who informs him that an avalanche has closed the route to Spain and recommends they travel by hot-air balloon. Fogg immediately accepts the challenge and, after finishing the game, returns home to fill a carpetbag with money and minimal provisions.įogg and Passepartout then embark on their trip, making Paris, France their first stop. Stewart, a club member, thinks the supposition preposterous and wagers 5,000 pounds that Fogg could not make the journey himself, with three other members joining in and raising the wager to 20,000 pounds. When they debate about how easily a criminal could hide anywhere in the world, Fogg theorizes that it would take only eighty days to travel around the world. After Passepartout meets with Fogg's approval, Fogg plays whist at the club, and discusses the robbery with other members. Overhearing their conversation, the unemployed Passepartout, a jack-of-all-trades, offers his services and is hired on the spot to replace Foster. Foster complains to Roland Hesketh-Baggott, the recruiter, that working for a perfectionist like Fogg is torture. Elsewhere in London, Fogg's former valet Foster goes to the employment office and quits.
