AROUND THE WORLD IN MONTY DAYS.
Br JULES VERNE,
The distance between Fort Kearney
bee -line, as the Americans Ray—two-
and Omaha is, in a straight line—in a
hundred miles at the most. If the wind
continued, the distance could be com-
• plished in five hours. If no accident
• happened, the sledge ought to reach
Omaha at one o'clockflin the afternoon.
What a joureey I The traveler8,
huddled up against each other, couldnob
speak. The cold, increased by the d,
cut off their words. The sledge glided
as lightly over the surface of the plain
as a vessel over the surface of the water
—with the swell at teeth When the
breeze came, skimming the earth, it
seemed as if the sledge was lifted from
the ground by its sails, which were like
huge wings. Mudge, at the rudder,
kept the straight line, 'and with a turn
of the tiller he corrected the lurches
which the anparatas 'had a tendency to
make. All sail was carried. The jib

estimated, but certainly the spe
the sledge could not be less than
miles an hour. I
"If nothing breaks," said Mudge,
shall al; l" .
It was udge's interest to arrive' at
the time agreed upon, for Mr. Fogg ad-
hering to his plan, had stimulated him
by the promise of a handsome reward.
The prairie, which the sledge was
crossing in a straight line, 'was as' t as
a sea. It , might have been c Ida

through this section, seconded from
southwest to northwest by Grand Island,
Columbus, an important Nebraska town,
Schuyler, Fremont, then. Omaha. Dur., s ing its entire course, it followed the
right bank of -the Platte river. The
sled e, shortening this route, took!the
car of the are described by the railroad.
Mudge did not fear being stopped by the
• Platte river, at the ehort bend in front
of Fremont, as it was frozen over. he
way was then entirely free of obst c-
• tons, and Phileas Fogg had only two
things to fear ;—an accident to the ap-
paratus, ai' hange or acalm of the wind.
But the reeze did not abate. On the
contrary, ‘: blew so hard that it bent
. i
the mast, which the iron fastenings
kept firm. These metal fastenings, like
the chords of an instrument, resounded
as if a violin -bow had produced their
vibrations. The sledge slid along in the
midst of a plaintive harmony, of a very
peouliar intensity. ,
"These cords give the fifth and the oc-
tave," said Mr. .Fogg. .
And these were the only words he
uttered during this trip. Mrs. Amide,
carefully wrapped- in furs and cloaks,
was preserved as -much as possiblei from
the attacks of the cold. , -1
i 1 -
Passepartout, his face red as the solar
disc when it sets in the mist, drew in the
biting air. With the depth of unshaken
confidence that he possessed, he leas
ready to hope again. Instead of arriving
in New York in the morning, they teohld
arrive there in the evening, but 1 there
• might be some chances that it would i be
before the departure of the Liverpool
steamer. I ,
Passepartout even experienced a streng
i
desire to grasp the hand of his ally Fix.
• He did notforget that it was the detec-
tive himself who had procured the sledge
with sails, and consequently the only
means there was to reach Omah.a ! in
good time. But by some unknown pre-
sentiment, he kept himself in hisaccus-
tomed reserve. L ,
At all events, one thing which P s'ae-
partout would never forget was the
sacrifice which Mr. }'ogg had- unhafiitat.
3 ing'y made to rescue him from the bands
of the Sioux. As .for that; Mr. Fogg
had risked his fortune and his life -Leh -
No ! his servant would not forget him !
Whilst each one of the trayele6
allowed himself to wander off in Isueth
, various reflections the sledge flew over
the immense carpet of snow. If it pees -
ed over creeks, tributaries, or sub-tribil-
taxies of Little Blue river, they did not
perceive it. The fields and the streams
disappeared under a uniform whitehese.
The plain was absolutely deserted.
Comprised , between the Union Pacific
Road and the branch uniting Kearney to
St. Joseph, it formed as it ,were a large
uninhabited island. Not a village, net
a station, not even a fort. From time
to time they saw passing like a flash some
grimacing tree, whose white ekeleton was
twisted about by the wind., Sometimes
flocks of wild birds rose; sometimes, also,
prairie wolves ix large bands, gaunt, tarn-
ished, urged by a ferocious demand of
nature, viedivith the sledge in swiftness.
Then Passepartout, with revolver in
hand, held himself ready to fire upon
those *rat came nearest. If any accident
• had then stopped the sled the travellers
attacked by these ferocious, earthy*,
brutes wonkl have run the greatest ri'sk .
But the sledge kept on in its course, it
was not long in getting ahead, and aoo
the whole howling band was left behind.
At noon Mudge recogaized by cer ai
landmarks that he was crossing the fr
zen course of the Platte river. He said
nothing, but he was sure that in tw nt
miles more he would. reach Omaha.
And, indeed, one hour afterwards thi
skillful guide, abandoning the helm, has
tened to the halyards of the sails and
furled them, while the sledge, carried o
by its irresistable force, accomplishe
another half mile under bare poles. Firs -
ally it stopped, and Mudge, pointing out
a mass of roofs, white with snow, said :
" We have arrived."
Arrived 1 Arrived indeed at the station
which, by numerous trains, is in dail
commiznication with the eastern pars o
the United States!
Passepartout and Fix jumped to th
ground and shook their stiffened limbs

to descend from the sledge. Phdeas Fog
settled generously with Mudge. whos
hand Passepartout shook like a friend's

This w a misfortune. 1 Mr. 'Fogg, in

sea, whos long waves broke against her

and to th detrirtient of her speed. The
breeze increased by degrees to a' hurri-
