About eight o'clock
These lines , although only a few yards in length , were dignified with names -- as , _ Kennedy 's Reach , Logan 's Reach , Watt 's Reach _ , and _ Slight 's Reach _ . The ends of them , where they dipped into the sea , were named _ Hope 's Wharf , Duff 's Wharf , Rae 's Wharf _ , etcetera ; and these wharves had been fixed on different sides of the rock , so that , whatever wind should blow , there would always be one of them on the lee-side available for the carrying on of the work . _ Hope 's Wharf _ was connected with _ Port Erskine _ , a pool about twenty yards long by three or four wide , and communicated with the side of the lighthouse by _ Watt 's Reach _ , a distance of about thirty yards . About eight o'clock that morning the bell rang for breakfast . Such of the men as were not already up began to get out of their berths and hammocks . To Ruby the scene that followed was very amusing . Hitherto all had been calm and sunshine .
