About
four o'clock
Chloe had made herself so agreeable to the ladies that they desired her to accompany them on shore . The steamer was in first-rate condition , and there was nothing for anybody to do but eat and sleep . Mr. Kirby Cornwood was still sulky because he had not been permitted to pilot the vessel up from the ocean ; but I was not disposed to comfort him . About four o'clock , it was so quiet on board , I thought I would go on shore for a while . Washburn was asleep in our room , and I did not disturb him , for we had all been up till after midnight the night before , listening to the music , and enjoying the moonlight . I landed at the boat wharf opposite the Grand National Hotel , on Bay Street . This is the principal street of the city , and both sides of it are lined with stores , warehouses , and the principal public buildings .
