On Wednesday, 9th October a small thin man waited for a ship at Suez, Egypt. The ship, a fast ship, was the Mongolia. The man was Detective Fix. He was at the port because he wanted to find the Bank of England thief.

Fix looked at everybody. He wanted a tall man in expensive clothes. When the Mongolia arrived at the port, Phileas Fogg left the ship. He had to get astamp in his passport. He went back to the ship. Fix watched him.

Then the detective found Passepartout out in the town. ‘Can I help you?’ asked Fix.

‘You are very kind,’ said Passepartout. ‘This is Suez?’ ‘Yes,’ said Fix. ‘Suez, in Egypt, in Africa.’ Passepartout looked at Fix with wide eyes.

‘I’ll show you the way to the shops.’
