eleven o'clock
At break of day on the following morning the Goldfinder rode over the Rip into Hobson 's Bay . There were still four hours before the ship lay at her moorings ; but during all that time Mrs. Smith was not seen by Caldigate . As he got into the boat which took him and Shand from the ship to the pier at Sandridge she kissed her hand to him over the side of the vessel . Before eleven o'clock Dick Shand and his companion were comfortably put up at the Miners ' Home in Flinders Lane . Nobble During the two days which Dick and Caldigate spent together in Melbourne Mrs. Smith 's name was not mentioned between them . They were particularly civil each to the other and went to work together , making arrangements at a bank as to their money , taking their places , despatching their luggage , and sorting their belongings as though there had been no such woman as Mrs. Smith on board the Goldfinder . Dick , though he had been inclined to grumble when his mystery had been taken out of his hands , -- who had , of course , been jealous when he saw that the lady had discarded her old hat and put on new ribbons , not for him , but for another , -- was too conscious of the desolation to which he would be subjected by quarrelling with his friend .
