nine in the morning
I had heard nothing of Griffin Leeds during the day . Though I had no doubt he was in Green Cove Springs , he made no attempt to come on board . I concluded that he intended to wait for a more favorable opportunity to recover possession of his wife ; but I was determined that no such chance should be afforded to him . At nine in the morning we went on board of the Gazelle , and she weighed anchor immediately . Cornwood took possession of the pilot-house , declaring that he had never been confined in a canary-bird 's cage before . But he was good-natured about it , and when the boy had got up the anchor , Cornwood rang the bell to start the engine . Everything worked as regularly as though the little yacht had been a steamer of a thousand tons .
