six o'clock
If the weather was not bad enough to make me think of delaying our departure , it was still not so pleasant as I desired for a start . I dressed myself , and looked the vessel over again . Our party would breakfast before they came on board , and we had nothing to do yet but look after ourselves . At six o'clock we took our morning meal . As soon as it was cleared away , I ordered the anchor up , and we ran in to Market Wharf to take on board our passengers . Before we reached the wharf I saw a boat board the Islander ; but she was too far off for me to determine who was in the craft . It was still only half-past-six , and I did not expect our passengers for half an hour or more .
