midnight
At daylight the next morning , before any of our passengers were stirring , we started down the river again . At two in the afternoon we were alongside the Sylvania . We merely put Washburn , Ben Bowman , Landy Perkins , and Hop Tossford on board of her , to run her down to Jacksonville , and kept on our way . But it was midnight when we made the wharf of the company that owned the Wetumpka . Except those in charge of the steamer , all were asleep . About daylight , the Sylvania anchored in the berth she had occupied before . Our fish and game which had been kept in the extra ice-house were in excellent condition .
