o'clock
At dawn the island was out of sight , and when Mr. Carnegie , landing on the pier , sought a boat to carry him and his wife to the Foam , a boatman looked up at him and said , `` The Foam , sir ? You 'll have much ado to overtake her . She 's halfway to Hastings by this time . She sailed yesterday soon after five o'clock . '' Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie turned away in silence . They had nothing to do but sorrowfully to repair home again . They were more grieved at heart by this disappointment than by any that had preceded it ; and all the more did they try to cheer one another .
