180-end of book

In this last section of Around The World in 80 Days, the party manages to finally gain passage across the Atlantic Ocean. The reluctant captain is not taking them to their destination so money helps persuade him, they also end up buying the ship because they run short on coal from their intense feeding of the fire, they then use parts of the ship as fuel as it is mostly wood. they return discreetly and wait for the time to make their appearance. Jean makes a startling discovery that they actually had lost a day due to the time changes and so they race off to gain the prize destroying several carriages in their way. they make it on time and all is well.
for some reason Mr. Fogg and Aouda decide to get married and so life goes on.
I enjoyed the book although I felt that it was a bit dry in several places and some of the decisions were not the best.
