ten o'clock
I told her that the captain was not yet dead , and would , I hoped , survive ; and , leaving her in charge of Mary , I hurried to ascertain what ground there was for any hope . I found that the captain was still alive , but that his death was hourly expected . `` With a sorrowful heart I hurried out by Bristo Port , after getting the word for the night from the keeper , that I might be admitted , on my return , into the city . I was at the chapel some time before ten o'clock , and found my master waiting for me . When I told him that the captain was still in life , he took my hand -- ` Square , ' he said , ` this has been a sad and dreary day to me . It is a fearful thing to have blood upon our hands , even in a just cause . I pray with my whole soul he may recover , both for his own sake and mine . '
