ten o'clock
The boys explained to Camma , that upon their return to the island a much larger engine would be installed , so that they need not depend upon the sails thereafter , but would be able then to sail directly through the wind , instead of being blown back and forth , as was now the case . The wind did not abate until the morning was breaking , and then there was a welcome change in the direction that the storm was taking . Many of the natives were ill , and John had the satisfaction of administering the new and lately-discovered remedy , namely , Atropine . Shortly after ten o'clock the eastern end of Wonder Island was sighted . The great mountain range was visible , and the identical headland , where the skull with the inscription was found , could be discerned through the mild haze . There was immense curiosity on board the ship as it skirted along the shore . The Tuolo landing place was sighted , but they continued past it .
