But this delay, as it was foreseen, did not affect Phileas Fogg's programme; besides, the Mongolia, instead of reaching Aden on the morning of the 15th, when she was due, arrived there on the evening of the 14th, a gain of fifteen hours.
Daarenboven was de Mongolia, in plaats van in den morgen van den 15en October te Aden te komen, reeds den 14en aldaar gearriveerd. Dit was dus een winst van vijftien uren.
