1The hours passed, and the lighter shades now announced the approach of day, though it was not yet light. This was the
2moment. The slumbering multitude became animated, the tambourines sounded, songs and cries arose; the hour of the
3sacrifice had come. The doors of the pagoda swung open, and a bright light escaped from its interior, in the midst of
4which Mr. Fogg and Sir Francis espied the victim. She seemed, having shaken off the stupor of intoxication, to be
5striving to escape from her executioner. Sir Francis's heart throbbed; and, convulsively seizing Mr. Fogg's hand, found
6in it an open knife. Just at this moment the crowd began to move. The young woman had again fallen into a stupor caused
7by the fumes of hemp, and passed among the fakirs, who escorted her with their wild, religious cries. Phileas Fogg and
8his companions, mingling in the rear ranks of the crowd, followed; and in two minutes they reached the banks of the
9stream, and stopped fifty paces from the pyre, upon which still lay the rajah's corpse. In the semi-obscurity they saw
10the victim, quite senseless, stretched out beside her husband's body. Then a torch was brought, and the wood, heavily
11soaked with oil, instantly took fire. At this moment Sir Francis and the guide seized Phileas Fogg, who, in an instant
12of mad generosity, was about to rush upon the pyre. But he had quickly pushed them aside, when the whole scene suddenly
13changed. A cry of terror arose. The whole multitude prostrated themselves, terror-stricken, on the ground. The old rajah
14was not dead, then, since he rose of a sudden, like a spectre, took up his wife in his arms, and descended from the pyre
15in the midst of the clouds of smoke, which only heightened his ghostly appearance. Fakirs and soldiers and priests,
16seized with instant terror, lay there, with their faces on the ground, not daring to lift their eyes and behold such a
17prodigy. The inanimate victim was borne along by the vigorous arms which supported her, and which she did not seem in
18the least to burden. Mr. Fogg and Sir Francis stood erect, the Parsee bowed his head, and Passepartout was, no doubt,
19scarcely less stupefied. The resuscitated rajah approached Sir Francis and Mr. Fogg, and, in an abrupt tone, said, "Let
20us be off!" It was Passepartout himself, who had slipped upon the pyre in the midst of the smoke and, profiting by the
21still overhanging darkness, had delivered the young woman from death! It was Passepartout who, playing his part with a
22happy audacity, had passed through the crowd amid the general terror. A moment after all four of the party had
23disappeared in the woods, and the elephant was bearing them away at a rapid pace. But the cries and noise, and a ball
24which whizzed through Phileas Fogg's hat, apprised them that the trick had been discovered. The old rajah's body,
25indeed, now appeared upon the burning pyre; and the priests, recovered from their terror, perceived that an abduction
26had taken place. They hastened into the forest, followed by the soldiers, who fired a volley after the fugitives; but
27the latter rapidly increased the distance between them, and ere long found themselves beyond the reach of the bullets
28and arrows.
