ten at night
Still the sudden inundation did not last . In a few seconds I felt myself once more able to breathe . My uncle and Hans pressed my arms , and the raft carried us all three away . It is difficult for me to determine what was the real time , but I should suppose , by after calculation , that it must have been ten at night . I lay in a stupor , a half dream , during which I saw visions of astounding character . Monsters of the deep were side by side with the mighty elephantine shepherd . Gigantic fish and animals seemed to form strange conjunctions .
