nine o'clock
Every day he came on board to collect fresh evidence and examine into my case . At last the day arrived . I dressed myself in my best uniform . The gun fired from the admiral 's ship , with the signal for a court-martial at nine o'clock ; and I went on board in a boat , with all the witnesses . On my arrival , I was put under the custody of the provost-marshal . The captains ordered to attend pulled alongside one after another , and were received by a party of marines , presenting their arms . At half-past nine the court was all assembled , and I was ushered in .
