about eight o'clock
She had believed me dead ; and my appearance was not calculated to do away the impression , I looked so ghastly from anxiety and the want of sleep . Her joy was extreme when she found her mistake . I undressed and threw myself on my bed , where I soon fell into a sound sleep , the first I had enjoyed since my involuntary voyage . I did not awake until about eight o'clock , when I arose and dressed . I did not haste to Eliza , as my heart urged me , lest my sudden appearance should have been fatal to her . I wrote her a note , informing her I was in health , and would call and explain all after breakfast . I sent off my card , and immediately waited upon my employers .
