About five o'clock
In the interval her boats were out in all directions , parties of the officers visiting the islet where the powder had exploded , and the islet where the tent , erected for the use of the females , was still standing . As for the light-house island , an order of Capt. Mull 's prevented it from being crowded in a manner unpleasant to Rose , as might otherwise have been the case . The few officers who did land there , however , appeared much struck with the ingenuous simplicity and beauty of the bride , and a manly interest in her welfare was created among them all , principally by means of the representations of the second lieutenant and the chaplain . About five o'clock she went off to the ship , accompanied by Harry , and was hoisted on board in the manner usually practised by vessels of war which have no accommodation-ladder rigged . Rose was immediately installed in her state-room , where she found every convenience necessary to a comfortable though small apartment . It was quite late in the afternoon , when the boatswain and his mate piped `` all hands up anchor ! '' Harry hastened into the state-room for his charming bride , anxious to show her the movements of a vessel of war on such an occasion .
