midnight
And then early on Sunday morning the ship met a storm that had a sad influence on divine service ; a storm of the eminence that scares even the brass-buttoned occupants of liners ' bridges . The rumour went round the ship that the captain would not call at Fishguard in such weather . Edward Henry was ready to yield up his spirit in this fearful crisis , which endured two hours . The captain did call at Fishguard , in pouring rain , and men came aboard selling Sunday newspapers that were full of Isabel 's arrest on the steamer , and of the nearing triumph of her arrival in London before midnight . And newspaper correspondents also came aboard , and all the way on the tender , and in the sheds , and in the train , Edward Henry and Isabel Joy were subjected to the journalistic experiments of hardy interviewers . The train arrived at Paddington at 9 P.M. Isabel had won by three hours . The station was a surging throng of open-mouthed curiosities .
