Hong Kong is an island which came into the possession of the English by the Treaty of Nankin, after the war of 1842...

-> Onkon es uni nesia, na aribe pas a abe a Englan per Pakto de Nankin poste batal anu 1842.

On reaching the quay where they were to embark on the Carnatic, he was not astonished to find Fix walking up and down.

-> Pasporta aribe pas a dok, plaskia ilis paso futur in sip KARNATIK. Ili senti pas ne surpris peri eureka, na Fiks paso peri la.

The detective had, indeed, good reasons to inveigh against the bad luck which pursued him. The warrant had not come!

-> Eurekaantrop na abe pas uni kaus ben peri aribeespekne, na paso a ili. Autorite na pro pris aribe pas ne.

"Well, Monsieur Fix," said Passepartout, "have you decided to go with us so far as America?"

-> Pasporta logo pas: "Andro Fiks, dedus pas ni, na ni paso futur kon mis a Amerika?"

"Yes," returned Fix, through his set teeth.

-> Fiks donre pas dia denti klos: "Ia."

"Come and engage your berth."

-> "Paso kon mi, e pris stofdormi ni."

They entered the steamer office and secured cabins for four persons.

-> Ilia paso in domgraf, e fakto samber sekur pro kuadri antrop.

The clerk, as he gave them the tickets, informed them that, the repairs on the Carnatic having been completed, the steamer would leave that very evening, and not next morning, as had been announced.

-> Sekantrop don pas a ilis bilet. Ili logo pas a ilis, na eksdefek ot sip Karnatik es komple. Sip paso futur ot la noktudis, e antemedijur ne, kak ilis logo pas.

"That will suit my master all the better," said Passepartout. "I will go and let him know."

-> Pasporta logo pas: "Dis es ben pro sefalantrop mi. Mi paso, e logo futur a ili."

Fix now decided to make a bold move; he resolved to tell Passepartout all.

-> Fiks judi pas fakto uni akto brabo. Ili judi pas logo a Pasporta stoftuta.

He accordingly invited his companion into a tavern which caught his eye on the quay.

-> Prona ili deman a antropkon, na ilis paso a dombibe, ili optik pas espekne a dok.

Fix and Passepartout saw that they were in a smoking-house haunted by those wretched, cadaverous, idiotic creatures to whom the English merchants sell every year the miserable drug called opium...

-> Fiks e Pasporta kompren pas, na ilis es in domfume, plaskia es antrop benne, morta-optikomo, sofine, a na bisines antrop Englan poli narkot benne kon nam opium.

They ordered two bottles of port, to which the Frenchman did ample justice...

-> Ilis order bi botel bino, ot na Franseantrop bibe pas partimaga.

Fix placed his hand upon Passepartout's arm, and, lowering his voice, said, "You have guessed who I am?"

-> Fiks plas uni mani a brak ot Pasporta, e logo pas: "Ni dibina pas dis, na mi es antropkia?"

"An agent of the members of the Reform Club, sent out here to interrupt my master's journey."

-> "Antrop ot grup Formare, ilis espedi a dis pro rakta turis dis ot sefalantrop mi."

"I am a police detective, sent out here by the London office."

-> "Mi es eurekaantrop ot polis, ilis espedi per dompolis ot urban London."

"What nonsense!" cried Passepartout, striking the table with his fist. "My master is the most honourable of men!"

-> Pasporta logo pas leban, e batal mensa per mani klos: "Sofine! Sefalantrop mi es onor plasuni ot antrop tuta!"

"Consider that I've said nothing," said Fix; "and let us drink."

-> Fiks logo pas: "Atentif, na mi logo pas nul. Mis bibe."

Some pipes full of opium lay upon the table. Fix slipped one into Passepartout's hand.

-> Pipe multine ot opium es pas sur mensa. Fiks plas pas konesne uni in mani ot Pasporta.

He took it, put it between his lips, lit it, drew several puffs, and his head, becoming heavy under the influence of the narcotic, fell upon the table.

-> Ili pris ili, plas ili inter bi labia, pris respira multine. Sefal ili esaribe gram pro narkot na, e katarakta pas a mensa.

"At last!" said Fix, seeing Passepartout unconscious. "Mr. Fogg will not be informed of the Carnatic's departure..."

-> Fiks logo pas, poste optik Pasporta es konesne: "Fini! Andro Fog resep ne informa peri sip KARNATIK."

The weather was bad during the latter days of the voyage.

-> Tem es pas benne intem jur, na es telene a fini de turis.

The steamer was forced to proceed slowly, and the captain estimated that she would reach Hong Kong twenty hours behind time, and more if the storm lasted.

-> Sipbapor inergo pas paso belone, e sefalsip dibina, na ili paso futur a nesia Onkon bideka ora poste tem, e multi plus, si bentimaga stopne.

Fix did not look at the state of things in the same light.  The storm greatly pleased him.

-> Bentimaga na don beni maga a Fiks.

It became more and more probable that Fogg would be obliged to remain some days at Hong Kong...

-> Esaribe pas probable plus e plus, na Fog resta futur jur multi a nesia Onkon.

The pilot went on board at six, and took his place on the bridge, to guide the Rangoon through the channels to the port of Hong Kong.

-> Sefaldirek paso pas a plas order, prona direk sip Rangun dia kanal a porto ot Onkon.

Mr. Fogg, bolder than his servant, did not hesitate to approach the pilot, and tranquilly ask him if he knew when a steamer would leave Hong Kong for Yokohama.

-> Andro Fog paso pas a sefaldirek, e deman ili per trankuil, si ili kones, temkia sipbapor let futur ot nesia Onkon a urban Iokohama.

"The Carnatic... They had to repair one of her boilers, and so her departure was postponed till to-morrow."

-> "Sip Karnatik. Ilis obliga pas eksdefek uni masinebuli, e prona pasoeks es pas temsekuen a saftra."

Mr. Fogg had sixteen hours in which to attend to his business there, which was to deposit Aouda safely with her wealthy relative.

-> Andro Fog abe pas deka-ses ora pro fakto bisines a na, na es sefal Auda per sekur a androemo pluto.

Meeting a broker, he made the inquiry, to learn that Jeejeeh had left China two years before, and, retiring from business with an immense fortune, had taken up his residence in Europe...

-> Temkia ili fasper uni antropbisines, ili deman pas e kones, na Jiji let pas nasion Sina ante bi anu, e dom a Europa.

Aouda at first said nothing.  She passed her hand across her forehead, and reflected a few moments.  Then, in her sweet, soft voice, she said: "What ought I to do, Mr. Fogg?"

-> Auda logo pas per fono lebanne e dus: "Mi obliga futur fakto kia, andro Fog?"

"It is very simple," responded the gentleman.  "Go on to Europe."

-> Andro na respon pas: "Es simple. Paso a Europa."
