eleven
o'clock
I was half dead from thirst , and it seemed that no harm could now come from a little fire ; so I soon had one started and some snow melting in an old tin can . The drink and the warmth revived me a good deal , and I decided to start immediately to crawl to the town . I thought with good luck I might make it in four hours . It was now probably eleven o'clock . I left my skees and started out . Kaiser bounded around me in the greatest delight , barking and throwing up a cloud of snow . But before I had gone twenty rods I sank half fainting with the pain of dragging my ankle .
