seven in the evening
The gentleman who came to-day is my father , and Captain Boomsby will give up the chase as soon as he sees and knows him . '' `` I am sure I do n't know what you are talking about . '' `` Then we wo n't talk any more , '' I added , retiring from the pilot-house after the boat had passed over the doubtful shoal , which the rain had rendered harmless . At seven in the evening we reached Enterprise , where we remained overnight . 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 .
