Three o'clock
Fix went on board the pilot-boat . Phileas left the description of his servant with the police , and a sum of money to be spent in seeking him . The same formality was gone through at the French Consulate ; and then procuring their luggage , which had been sent back to the hotel , they went down to the wharf . Three o'clock struck ; the pilot-boat No. 43 was ready to start . She was a pretty little schooner , about twenty tons , built for speed , like a racing-yacht . She was as bright and clean as possible , and Bunsby evidently took a pride in his little craft . Her masts raked rather .
