ten o'clock
During the remainder of the passage , Marion wept bitterly . After a run of a few hours , the boat stopped at Baton Rouge , where an additional number of passengers were taken on board , among whom were a number of persons who had been attending the races at that place . Gambling and drinking were now the order of the day . The next morning , at ten o'clock , the boat arrived at new Orleans , where the passengers went to their hotels and homes , and the negroes to the slave-pens . Lizzie , the white slave-mother , of whom we have already spoken , created as much of a sensation by the fairness of her complexion and the alabaster whiteness of her child , when being conveyed on shore at New Orleans , as she had done when brought on board at Grand Gulf . Every one that saw her felt that slavery in the Southern States was not confined to the negro . Many had been taught to think that slavery was a benefit rather than an injury , and those who were not opposed to the institution before , now felt that if whites were to become its victims , it was time at least that some security should be thrown around the Anglo-Saxon to save him from this servile and degraded position .
