the time is very contracted at the begining as the amount of detail describing everything in the short time span.
'he waded ashore in the last of the light' references to toime of day
'the dark did catch them' personified the dark as time passes
'in the first dull light' telescoping through time
'they weremost of the morning offloading the ship' telescoping through time
it was already getting dark' time references
these time references show how MaCathy uses different movements through time in order to convey the most important aspects of the novel and to build suspense by drawing out the narrative and description.
