about one o'clock
` Tween the snow flyin ' and the dark you could n't see two feet ahead of you . We was kind of worried about the vessel all evenin ' -- for one thing she was too close in shore when we see her last -- but there wa 'n' t nothin ' to be done except to keep a weather eye out for signs of trouble . `` Fust thing we knew of the wreck was when the man on patrol up the beach -- Philander Vose 't was -- telephoned from the shanty that a ship 's long-boat had come ashore at Knowles ' Cove , two mile above the station . That was about one o'clock in the mornin ' . ` Bout h ` af-past two Sim Gould -- he was drownded the next summer , fishin ' on the Banks -- telephoned from the shanty BELOW the station -- the one a mile or so ` tother side of the cable house , Mr. Hazeltine -- that wreckage was washin ' up abreast of where he was ; that was six miles from where the longboat come ashore . So there we was . There wa 'n' t any way of tellin ' whereabouts she was layin ' ; she might have been anywheres along them six miles , and you could n't hear nothin ' nor see nothin ' .
