about ten o'clock in the morning
I could not help it ; I believed him . My own judgment seemed suddenly to rise up and ask me why I should leave the solid deck of the steamer for that perilous little boat . I need say but little more in regard to this shipwreck . When the fog lifted , about ten o'clock in the morning , we could see no signs of any of the boats . A mile or so away lay the dull black line of the derelict , as if she were some savage beast who had bitten and torn us , and was now sullenly waiting to see us die of the wound . We hoisted a flag , union down , and then we went below to get some breakfast . Mr. Crowder knew all about the ship , and where to find everything .
