We have, therefore, four days before us, that is ninety-six hours; and in that time, if we had good luck and a south-west wind, and the sea was calm, we could make those eight hundred miles to Shanghai."
Tenemos cuatro días para llegar, esto es, noventa y seis horas; y con un promedio de ocho millas por hora, si tenemos fortuna, si el viento es del Sureste, si la mar está bonancible, podemos salvar las ochocientas millas que nos separan de Shangai.
