six in the morning
They were to allow no one to come on board , unless by permission of the captain or mate ; and Washburn and I had agreed that one of us should remain on board all the time . Our passengers did not care to have strangers staring at them , and no one was willing that Griffin Leeds should put his feet on the deck of the Sylvania again . Early in the morning the boats were dropped into the water , and put in proper condition for use . At six in the morning the steward called the passengers , as required by them , and a little later we landed them at some steps on the pier , near the shore , so that they had not far to walk . Mr. Cornwood and I remained on shore to assist the party . At the head of the wharf we found a store , a billiard-hall and a bar-room , and other evidences of civilization . A street on the right led to the Union Hotel and the Riverside Cottages , and one on the left to Orange Cottage , the two latter being large boarding-houses , which we found were occupied by people from the North .
