five o'clock Monday morning
`` He 'll remember you now , no doubt of that ! '' said Link merrily . The day was Saturday , and it was a busy one for both Mont and Link , with packing trunks and bags , and getting ready otherwise . The Sabbath passed quietly enough , and five o'clock Monday morning found the two boys on their way to Nautical Hall . The run of the train was to New York , and here they fell in with their mutual chum , Carl Barnaby , a rich young fellow from their town , and several others who will be introduced as our story progresses . From the Metropolis the boys took another train directly for the seacoast . At Pemberton they had to change cars , and here they met several more scholars of Nautical Hall .
