9 P.M.
Edward Henry was ready to yield up his spirit in this fearful crisis , which endured two hours . The captain did call at Fishguard , in pouring rain , and men came aboard selling Sunday newspapers that were full of Isabel 's arrest on the steamer , and of the nearing triumph of her arrival in London before midnight . And newspaper correspondents also came aboard , and all the way on the tender , and in the sheds , and in the train , Edward Henry and Isabel Joy were subjected to the journalistic experiments of hardy interviewers . The train arrived at Paddington at 9 P.M. Isabel had won by three hours . The station was a surging throng of open-mouthed curiosities . Edward Henry would not lose sight of his priceless charge , but he sent Harrier to despatch a telegram to Nellie , whose wifely interest in his movements he had till then either forgotten or ignored . And even now his mind was not free .
