four o'clock in the
morning
I took my place at the wheel while Hop Tossford was the lookout on the topgallant forecastle . In a short time the screw began to buzz , and when Buck and Dyer Perkins went below , after heaving the lead , the Sylvania was making eleven knots . I expected her to do better than this . At four o'clock in the morning , when the starboard watch were called , we were off Indian River Inlet . Nothing had been said about trying the fish since we left Jacksonville . There was not water enough in Indian River to float the steamer , and I gave up all thought of renewing the exciting sport we had had in these waters when we came over from the St. Johns . At four o'clock I turned in and slept till eight .
