one o'clock
`` Do n't be alarmed , '' said Dick . `` We are a very long way from a storm , to my way of thinking . '' The morning passed quickly enough , and at noon they ran into a small harbor on one of the islands and had dinner in true picnic style . At one o'clock they packed up once more , went on board of the Old Glory , and stood off to the westward , for all wanted a run `` right on the ocean , '' as Tom expressed it . Captain Jerry was just a bit doubtful of the trip , for the clouds in the western sky had grown considerably larger than when first noticed . Not that he did not think the yacht could weather a blow , but he was afraid the young ladies would get seasick . However , as he did not wish to put a damper on their fun , he said nothing , resolved to turn back at the first sign of any `` inward upsettin ' , '' as he expressed it .
