ten o'clock
I always calc ` late to give Quaco Ledge the widest kine o ' berth . An I hope you 'll never know anythin more about that same place than what I 'm tellin you now . The knowlege which one has about that place , an places ginrally of that kine , comes better by hearsay than from actool observation . '' Time passed on , and they still drifted , and at length ten o'clock came ; but before that time the boys had gone below , and retired for the night . Shortly after , the rattle of the chains waked them all , and informed them that the Antelope had anchored once more . After this they all fell asleep . In Clouds and Darkness .
