five o'clock
Poor Raby ! his young nerves had entirely given way under the strain of those hours of anxious waiting . He had borne the first hour very well . When the watch said it was five o'clock , and Hetty was not in sight , he thought , as she had hoped he would , that she was searching for the shawl ; but , when six o'clock came , and her boat was not in sight , his childish heart took alarm . He ran to the shanty where the old boatman lived ; and pounded furiously on the door , shouting loud , for the man was very deaf . The door was locked ; no one answered . Raby pushed logs under the windows , and , climbing up , looked in .
