five o'clock
Make haste and get well before then , mam ` zelle . Good-by , now ; good-by . '' I was going to sleep at Vaudin 's Inn , near to Creux Harbor , from which the cutter would sail almost before the dawn . At five o'clock we started on oar passage -- a boat-load of fishermen bound for the market . The cold was sharp , for it was still early in March , and the easterly wind pierced the skin like a myriad of fine needles . A waning moon was hanging in the sky over Guernsey , and the east was growing gray with the coming morning . By the time the sun was fairly up out of its bed of low-lying clouds , we had rounded the southern point of Sark , and were in sight of the Havre Gosselin .
