four o'clock
But to-night there was something in the sound which sunk him still deeper into the gloom which he had found it impossible to throw off . At last he fell asleep . When he awoke he struck a match and looked at his watch . It was four o'clock , and he dressed and went outside . The wind had died down . Jean was already busy over the cook-fire , and in Josephine 's tent he saw the light of a candle . She appeared a little later , wrapped close in a thick red Hudson 's Bay coat , and with a marten - skin cap on her head .
