two o'clock
Could it then be daylight ? -- if so , I had been much longer below than I had calculated on . The ship , I remembered , was to sail with the morning tide . That might have meant one or two o'clock , for how the tides ran I did n't know . There must have been time , at all events , for her to get away from the wharf , and to descend the Mersey . In that case the day must now be well advanced . Probably , I thought , the ship has had a fair wind , and with a favourable tide must have got rapidly along .
