two o'clock
The day grew bright . We were almost through the danger zone . We went to lunch a gay lot , all of us ; but we hurried back to the deck ; not uneasily , not in fear , understand , but just to be on deck , looking landward . And then at two o'clock it appeared . Far off in the northeast was a small black dot in the sky . It looked like a seabird ; but it grew . In ten minutes the whole deck was excited .
