Kuidas seiklus lõppes näeme anon. Aouda oli murelik, kuigi ta ei öelnud midagi. Nagu Passi, ta arvas hr. Fogg on manöövri lihtsalt hiilgav. Kapten oli öelnud "vahel üksteist ja kaksteist sõlme,"Ja Henrietta kinnitas tema ennustus.

If, then—for there were “ifs” still—the sea did not become too boisterous, if the wind did not veer round to the east, if no accident happened to the boat or its machinery, the Henrietta might cross the three thousand miles from New York to Liverpool in the nine days, between the 12th and the 21st of December. It is true that, once arrived, the affair on board the Henrietta, added to that of the Bank of England, might create more difficulties for Mr. Fogg than he imagined or could desire.

Esimese päeva, nad läksid mööda sujuvalt piisavalt. Meri ei olnud väga ebasoodsad, tuul tundus seisva kirdeosas, the sails were hoisted, and the Henrietta ploughed across the waves like a real trans-Atlantic steamer.
