about nine o'clock
And there was a gay and well-behaved crowd of passengers ... . At dinner we were seated at long tables , and served with every luxury . And the whole journey cost me less than seven shillings . On arriving at Albany that night at about nine o'clock I found myself in the best of luck . I could get passage on a canal boat the next morning for Buffalo ; rather I was permitted to sleep on board ... . I got on and retired . I awoke just as the boat was beginning to start .
