ten o'clock
`` Lev us be off right away . '' `` The moon has not yet risen , Eli , '' I said ; `` it 'll be dangerous to go out among so many rocks . '' `` All the better , they waant zee us . '' I saw there was much truth in this , especially as they did not expect us to start until ten o'clock . So together we pulled out what seemed to be the best boat , and a few minutes later we were rocking on the heaving waves . It was , perhaps , a foolish adventure . As all the world knows , there are no wilder seas than those off Land 's End .
