About nine o'clock
The next day was Sunday , and our party went to a negro church to hear a preacher who was quite celebrated as a colored orator . He preached a good sensible sermon , although he did n't meddle much with grammar . The people were poorly dressed , and some of the deacons were barefooted , but they were all very clean and neat , and they appeared to be just as religious as if they had all ridden in carriages to some Fifth Avenue church in New York . About nine o'clock , on Monday morning , the `` Tigris '' came in . When we boarded her , which we did almost as soon as the stairs had been put down her side , we found that she would make a shorter stay than usual , and would go out that evening , at high tide . So there was no time to lose . After the letters had been delivered at the hotel , and we had read ours , we sent our trunks on board , and went around to finish up Nassau .
