six o'clock in the evening
The accidents and difficulties of the soil no longer checked them . I confess that fatigue began to tell severely upon me ; but my uncle was as firm and as hard as he had been on the first day . I could not help admiring both the excellent Professor and the worthy guide ; for they appeared to regard this rugged expedition as a mere walk ! On Saturday , the 20th June , at six o'clock in the evening , we reached Budir , a small town picturesquely situated on the shore of the ocean ; and here the guide asked for his money . My uncle settled with him immediately . It was now the family of Hans himself , that is to say , his uncles , his cousins -- german , who offered us hospitality . We were exceedingly well received , and without taking too much advantage of the goodness of these worthy people , I should have liked very much to have rested with them after the fatigues of the journey .
