six o'clock in the evening
But again there was little delay . With two jack screws , the little Irishman lifted the car sideways and toppled it over . Coupling up the other cars , the train proceeded . At six o'clock in the evening supper was found in the cook car of a construction camp . It did not grow dark until eleven o'clock , and by this time , Colonel Howell and his friends were beginning to get a little sleep curled up on the seats of their car . An hour later , having creakingly crossed a long trestle , the strange train , still bumping and rattling , made its way along the even newer and worse track which led into Athabasca Landing . There were neither depot nor light to make cheer for the tired travelers .
