<P> In San Francisco they board a transcontinental train to New York, encountering a number of obstacles along the way: a massive herd of bison crossing the tracks, a failing suspension bridge, and the train being attacked by Sioux warriors . After uncoupling the locomotive from the carriages, Passepartout is kidnapped by the Indians, but Fogg rescues him after American soldiers volunteer to help . They continue by a wind powered sledge to Omaha, where they get a train to New York . </P> <P> In New York, having missed the ship China, Fogg looks for alternative transport . He finds a steamboat, the Henrietta, destined for Bordeaux, France . The captain of the boat refuses to take the company to Liverpool, whereupon Fogg consents to be taken to Bordeaux for $2,000 ($207,540 in 2017) per passenger . He then bribes the crew to mutiny and make course for Liverpool . Against hurricane winds and going on full steam, the boat runs out of fuel after a few days . Fogg buys the boat from the captain and has the crew burn all the wooden parts to keep up the steam . </P> <P> The companions arrive at Queenstown (Cobh), Ireland, take the train to Dublin and then a ferry to Liverpool, still in time to reach London before the deadline . Once on English soil, Fix produces a warrant and arrests Fogg . A short time later, the misunderstanding is cleared up--the actual robber, an individual named James Strand, had been caught three days earlier in Edinburgh . However, Fogg has missed the train and arrives in London five minutes late, certain he has lost the wager . </P> <P> The following day Fogg apologises to Aouda for bringing her with him, since he now has to live in poverty and cannot support her . Aouda confesses that she loves him and asks him to marry her . As Passepartout notifies a minister, he learns that he is mistaken in the date--it is not 22 December, but instead 21 December . Because the party had travelled eastward, they gained one day upon crossing the International Date Line . Passepartout informs Fogg of his mistake, and Fogg hurries to the Reform Club just in time to meet his deadline and win the wager . Having spent almost £ 19,000 of his travel money during the journey, he divides the remainder between Passepartout and Fix and marries Aouda . </P>
