however, did not reproach him; and, on leaving the Cunard pier,

The party crossed the Hudson in the Jersey City ferryboat,
and drove in a carriage to the St. Nicholas Hotel, on Broadway.

who slept profoundly, but very long to Aouda and the others,
whose agitation did not permit them to rest.
The next day was the 12th of December. From seven in the morning
of the 12th to a quarter before nine in the evening of the 21st
