Passepartout seems to have found a friend. I believe his name is Mr. Fix, and is an agent of the Peninsular Company. Mr. Fogg has remained below decks all these past days, only playing whist with a few other passengers and eating, though there are parties and gaieties above deck. I took part a little in those, in the dancing, and I played a piece I knew on the piano. I also saw many sights of which it appears Phileas is not the least interested in. We went through the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, saw many ruins, and the coffee fields were immense. The captain has now called travellers to get off the boat. I shall write more when on the train to Calcutta.

Good news! We have reached Bombay in two days less that expected. We went to Bombay via Aden. Arriving at Aden on the 13th, we stayed there four hours before setting off again sixteen hundred and fifty miles to Bombay.
