about four o'clock in the afternoon
how did I condemn myself for all my past disquiet ! what calm thanks did I return for the ease and satisfaction of mind I then enjoyed ! And coming to a small rivulet , I drank a hearty draught of water and contentedly proceeded on my journey . I reached Bristol about four o'clock in the afternoon . Having refreshed myself , I went the same evening to the quay to inquire what ships were in the river , whither bound , and when they would depart . My business was with the sailors , of whom there were at that time great numbers there ; but I could meet with no employ , though I gave out I would gladly enter myself before the mast . After I had done the best I could , but without success , I returned to the little house I had dined at , and went to bed very pensive .
