about half past ten
By and by breakfast was ready , and Mitch and me could hardly wait . We could n't eat till all the passengers was served , for they made us go in and take away the soiled dishes . And so when it came our turn , we just pitched into the liver and potatoes and the pancakes . And it must have been about half past ten , and hot . It was hot like the sun under a burning glass , and the river smelled and the dead fish . Only a little breeze began to stir after a while , and then it was better . We had nothin ' to do now , and stood by the railin ' lookin ' at the kids on shore .
