nine o'clock
Jenny was tired , and glad to read and dream in the comfortable seat Mrs. Homer left her when she went for her nap . By sunset the sea grew rough and people began to vanish below . There were many empty places at dinner-time , and those who appeared seemed to have lost their appetites suddenly . The Homers were good sailors , but Jenny looked pale , and Ethel said her head ached , though both kept up bravely till nine o'clock , when the Sibleys precipitately retired after supper , and Ethel thought she might as well go to bed early to be ready for another pleasant day to-morrow . Jenny had a bad night , but disturbed no one . Ethel slept soundly , and sprang up in the morning , eager to be the first on deck . But a sudden lurch sent her and her hair-brush into a corner : and when she rose , everything in the stateroom seemed to be turning somersaults , while a deathly faintness crept over her .
