eight o'clock
Coaling continued till Friday night . During the morning of that day we were told that if two hundred tons were put aboard , a chance would be given us on the morrow to see the wrecks of Cervera 's once fine vessels . It was all the incentive we needed , and the coal came aboard in a steady stream . A little after seven the required amount was in the bunkers , and by eight o'clock the stages and other coaling paraphernalia were stowed away and the `` Yankee '' had cast loose and was anchored by herself . The following morning dawned bright and clear . Admiral Sampson came aboard at 8:30 . We manned the `` cat falls '' and got under way at once .
