Fix highly suspects that the man on the boat is his suspect. He makes his way to the British Consulate to give the Consul his suspicions. Soon enough a man calling himself Mr. Fogg shows up with a passport to be validated. After the Consul speaks with him they let him go. Fix is upset because he is certain that this is his man. He is most anxious to find some sort of incriminating evidence so that he can arrest him before he leaves the British Colony.
