How the adventure ended will be seen anon. Aouda was anxious, though she said nothing. As for Passepartout, he thought Mr. Fogg’s manoeuvre simply glorious. The captain had said “between eleven and twelve knots,” and the Henrietta confirmed his prediction.

As, toe - want daar was nog “as” - het die see nie te luidrugtig geword nie, as die wind nie na die ooste draai nie, as daar geen ongeluk met die boot of sy masjinerie gebeur het nie, the Henrietta might cross the three thousand miles from New York to Liverpool in the nine days, tussen die 12de en die 21ste Desember. Dit is waar dat, eenmaal aangekom, die saak aan boord van die Henrietta, by die van die Bank van Engeland gevoeg, might create more difficulties for Mr. Fogg than he imagined or could desire.

During the first days, they went along smoothly enough. The sea was not very unpropitious, the wind seemed stationary in the north-east, the sails were hoisted, and the Henrietta ploughed across the waves like a real trans-Atlantic steamer.
