five o’clock
in the afternoon
Ned Land asked . To this no reply was possible . After breakfast I made my way to the lounge and went about my work . I wrote up my notes until five o'clock in the afternoon . Just then -- was it due to some personal indisposition ? -- I felt extremely hot and had to take off my jacket made of fan mussel fabric . A perplexing circumstance because we were n't in the low latitudes , and besides , once the Nautilus was submerged , it should n't be subject to any rise in temperature .
