two o'clock
The smoke of our camp-fire went straight up . There was no moon , but the sky was clear , and we remarked that we had not seen the stars look so bright any night before . The front of our wagon stood toward the northwest . We went to bed , but at two o'clock we were awakened by a most violent shaking of the cover . The wind was blowing a gale , and the whole top seemed about to be going by the board . We scrambled up , and I heard Jack 's voice calling for me to come out . The cover-bows were bent far over , and the canvas pressed in on the side to the southwest till it seemed as if it must burst .
