five o'clock
So there was nothing to do at Viosca 's Point except to rest . Feliu and all his men were going to Barataria in the morning on business ; -- the Doctor could accompany them there , and take the Grand Island steamer Monday for New Orleans . With this intention Julien retired , -- not sorry for being able to stretch himself at full length on the good bed prepared for him , in one of the unoccupied cabins . But he woke before day with a feeling of intense prostration , a violent headache , and such an aversion for the mere idea of food that Feliu 's invitation to breakfast at five o'clock gave him an internal qualm . Perhaps a touch of malaria . In any case he felt it would be both dangerous and useless to return to town unwell ; and Feliu , observing his condition , himself advised against the journey . Wednesday he would have another opportunity to leave ; and in the meanwhile Carmen would take good care of him ... The boats departed , and Julien slept again .
