about ten
o'clock
To-morrow afternoon we shall reach our destination . To-morrow , I shall resume , on land , my attendance upon Thomas Roch , `` if it be necessary , '' said the Count d'Artigas . If , when I was thrown into that black hole at the bottom of the hold , I was able to perceive when the schooner started off across Pamlico Sound , I now feel that she has come to a stop . It must be about ten o'clock . Why has she stopped ? When Captain Spade ordered me below , there was no land in sight . In this direction , there is no island until the Bermuda group is reached -- at least there is none on the map -- and we shall have to go another fifty or sixty miles before the Bermudas can be sighted by the lookout men .
