six o'clock in the evening
Bennet Islet , if it had any existence , could not be far off now . Yes ! the islet did exist , and its bearings were those indicated by Arthur Pym . At six o'clock in the evening one of the crew cried out that there was land ahead on the port side . -LRB- 1 -RRB- The legendary etymology of this piscatorial designation is _ Janitore _ , the `` door-keeper , '' in allusion to St. Peter , who brought a fish said to be of that species , to our Lord at His command . The _ Halbrane _ was then within sight of Bennet Islet ! The crew urgently needed rest , so the disembarkation was deferred until the following day , and I went back to my cabin .
