Excerpt from Jack Harkaway After Schooldays

It was eleven o'clock in the morning, and the tide served in about an hour, so that the ship Fairy would have to start on her outward voyage in a short time.
The two friends had come down by rail from Fenchurch Street to Blackwall, where the ship was lying.
