about eleven o’clock
In the afternoon went to work to make me a table . _ Nov _ . 4 . -- This morning I began to order my times of work , of going out with my gun , time of sleep , and time of diversion -- viz. every morning I walked out with my gun for two or three hours , if it did not rain ; then employed myself to work till about eleven o'clock ; then eat what I had to live on ; and from twelve to two I lay down to sleep , the weather being excessively hot ; and then , in the evening , to work again . The working part of this day and of the next were wholly employed in making my table , for I was yet but a very sorry workman , though time and necessity made me a complete natural mechanic soon after , as I believe they would do any one else . _ Nov. _ 5 . -- This day went abroad with my gun and my dog , and killed a wild cat ; her skin pretty soft , but her flesh good for nothing ; every creature that I killed I took of the skins and preserved them .
