o'clock
I am grateful to whoever invented it . It is only about 24 hours ' sail from the Dardanelles to here , at the rate the _ Czarina Catherine _ has come from London . She should therefore arrive some time in the morning ; but as she can not possibly get in before then , we are all about to retire early . We shall get up at one o'clock , so as to be ready . * * * * * _ 25 October , Noon _ . -- No news yet of the ship 's arrival . Mrs. Harker 's hypnotic report this morning was the same as usual , so it is possible that we may get news at any moment .
