noon
I did not give the other steamer the credit of making more than ten knots an hour . The wind had freshened considerably since I left the deck early in the morning , and I ordered all sail to be set . Soon after the log showed that we were making twelve knots , which was about the best speed we had ever made . We kept her going at this rate till noon , and I had the wheel during the time . In the course of the forenoon we had visits from all the passengers , but the wind was raw and cold , and they did not remain long on deck . `` Sail , ho ! '' shouted Hop Tossford , from the topgallant forecastle .
