two o'clock
Taylor took our hero to his own home , and introduced him to a cleanly and interesting family . `` When do we start ? '' demanded Vance , after indulging in a good , and really substantial dinner . `` We will take the two o'clock train , '' was the reply . Our readers will observe that we do not name localities , and we have a good reason . Within the last few months smuggling has been resumed , and the government is adopting measures once more to suppress the traffic , and we have decided that the interest of our narrative does not demand more specific details . To those of our readers who are acquainted with the Long Island coast , it is not necessary to name the several localities ; as , from passing hints , they will be able to locate the several points ; and readers who live afar would be no wiser were we to name towns , and designate exact localities .
