one o'clock
With the deepening of the night the rain fell harder , and the wind rising in gusts drove it against the glass . When the women retired to their compartments the train had been set over above the bridge where the wind , now hard from the southeast , sung steadily around the car . Gertrude Brock could not sleep . After being long awake she turned on the light and looked at her watch ; it was one o'clock . The wind made her restless and the air in the stateroom had become oppressive . She dressed and opened her door . The lights were very low and the car was silent ; all were asleep .
