3 lamps east and 2 west where she stops only
knows.
That's the correct text, possibly implying 3 sunrises and 2 sunsets, or the third dawn after the posting which was 7:47 A.M. on the 5th. If that was Eastern time, the sun had not yet risen over Texas, so the third sunrise would be on the 7th.
Too many variables to be sure, so I welcome any further information or correction.
