eleven o'clock
The _ Active _ had orders to cruise wherever she pleased within the limits of the admiral 's station ; and she ran for West Bay , on the other side of the Bill of Portland . The _ Happy-go-lucky _ was also bound for that bay to land her cargo . The wind was light , and there was every appearance of fine weather , when the _ Happy-go-lucky _ , at ten o'clock on the Tuesday night , made the Portland lights ; as it was impossible to run her cargo that night , she hove to . At eleven o'clock the Portland lights were made by the revenue-cutter _ Active _ . Mr Appleboy went up to have a look at them , ordered the cutter to be hove to , and then went down to finish his allowance of gin-toddy . At twelve o'clock , the yacht _ Arrow _ made the Portland lights , and continued her course , hardly stemming the ebb tide . Day broke , and the horizon was clear .
