Several had departure signals, and were preparing to put to sea at morning tide; for in this immense and admirable port there is not one day in a hundred that vessels do not set out for every quarter of the globe. But they were mostly sailing vessels, of which, of course, Phileas Fogg could make no use.
Muchos tenían la señal de partida y se disponían a tomar la mar, aprovechando la marea de la mañana, porque en ese inmenso y admirable puerto de Nueva York no hay dia en que cien embarcaciones no salgan con rumbo a todos los puntos del orbe; pero casi todas eran de vela, y no podían convenir a Phileas Fogg.
