Sunday noon
I considered whether or not it would be possible for him to do me or Colonel Shepard any harm , on the one hand , or any good on the other . He had received no money , and was to receive none until he earned it . He was to arrive at Key West on Sunday morning . The Sylvania would not be likely to reach the same port before Sunday noon . If the Islander had kept on her course during the twenty-four hours we had been at anchor , she would be likely to reach Key West on Saturday afternoon . I did not know that she had any occasion to put in there at all ; if she had , she was not likely to remain there many hours . If the Islander had not put in at any port during the storm , Cornwood would not arrive at his destination until after she had departed .
