three o'clock
We set there and thought and thought , and by and by I commenced to sight an idee in the offing . 'T was hull down at first , but pretty soon I got it into speaking distance , and then I broke it gentle to Jonadab . He grabbed at it like the `` Labrador mack ` rel '' grabbed Stumpton 's hook . We set up and planned until pretty nigh three o'clock , and all the next day we put in our spare time loading provisions and water aboard the Patience M . We put grub enough aboard to last a month . Just at daylight the morning after that we knocked at the door of Montague 's bedroom . When he woke up enough to open the door -- it took some time , 'cause eating and sleeping was his mainstay -- we told him that we was planning an early morning fishing trip , and if he wanted to go with the folks he must come down to the landing quick .
