ten o'clock
The family were much interested in the details of Mr. Searles 's voyage , as they expected soon to be en route for Europe . Mr. Searles said , `` The cause of the ` Majestic 's ' delay was a broken propeller in rough seas off the Banks of Newfoundland . I am glad to reach New York . '' He had arrived at the Hotel at ten o'clock and already had been to lunch . Mr. Searles gladly accepted an invitation from Colonel Harris for a drive , Mrs. Harris and Lucille to accompany them . Searles expressed a wish to see the famous Roebling suspension bridge , so the coachman drove first down Broadway to the post office , then past the great newspaper buildings , and out upon the marvelous highway or bridge suspended in the air between New York and Brooklyn . When midway , Mr. Searles begged to step out of the carriage , and putting his arms around one of the four enormous cables , inquired of Colonel Harris how these huge cables were carried over the towers .
