about ten o'clock
Early next morning Mrs. Godfrey relieved her husband at the helm ; Charlie assisting her . The Captain went below to rest , asking to be called if anything out of the ordinary occurred . He had hardly closed his eyes during the voyage , but fell asleep at his post during the previous night , when the weather fortunately was fine and the sea quite peaceful . At about ten o'clock , a.m. , Paul sighted something in the distance . He called to Mrs. Godfrey to look in the direction of his hand , which he was pointing over the port bow . She could see nothing , but she headed the sloop in the direction that Paul gave , and in an hour 's time had the satisfaction of seeing what she supposed to be the outline of rocks or land . She kept the vessel headed in toward what she supposed to be land , and at three o'clock called her husband on deck .
