five
o'clock
The students wandered about the town till it was too dark to see anything , and most of them were tired enough to sleep , even under the feather beds which the Germans insist upon using as a coverlet . In the morning the journey was renewed in the diligences . The scenery was still very fine , and from the top of a high hill called the Rande , the students obtained a splendid view of the mountains of Switzerland , of the broad expanse of Lake Constance , and the towers of the city . Descending the long hill , the tourists entered Switzerland , and at five o'clock were set down at the Schweitzer Hof in Schaffhausen , near the falls . The students had been riding so long that they were glad to be at liberty again , and hastened into the hotel gardens , which extend down to the river . It was rather late to visit the falls , and the company were piped together around a kind of kiosk , in which Professor Mapps presented himself . `` Do not be alarmed , young gentlemen , '' said the instructor , good-naturedly .
