five in the morning
After dark I cautioned the anchor-watch not to let any person come on board . I was afraid that Nick Boomsby would try to become a stowaway on board of the steamer , and thus give his father an additional grudge against me . But I soon went to sleep and forgot all about Nick . I was up at five in the morning . Before I washed my face and made my toilet , I went on deck to take a look at the weather , as I generally did at sea , or when we were on the point of sailing . It was cloudy and thick ; but I thought it probable that it would clear off as the day advanced . The smoke was pouring out of the smoke-stack of the Islander , as well as of the Sylvania .
