Aouda
A British Brigadier-general whom Phileas Fogg and Jean Passepartout meet on the Mongolia steamship from Suez, Egypt to Bombay, India and on the train from Bombay to Calcutta. Sir Francis Cromarty is about fifty years old and fought in the last Sepoy revolt in India. He now lives there and rarely visits England. He is very knowledgeable about India and its history, having assimilated to the country’s culture. On the steamer, he plays whist with Fogg to pass the time, and the two become friendly acquaintances despite the fact that Sir Francis thinks Fogg’s adventure is foolish and does no good for anyone. When the train unexpectedly stops due to an incomplete line, Sir Francis joins Fogg, Passepartout, and their guide as they ride an elephant, Kiouni, through the jungle. He, along with the other three men, see Aouda being led through the jungle and save her from being burned alive in a sacrifice. He and his newfound friends eventually reach Allahabad and take the train from there to Benares, where he bids them farewell to reunite with his corps stationed there.
