noon
`` In the king 's name , I command you to disperse , '' said the sheriff , stepping forward . It was not he , however , but Doctor Warren , who , by a wave of his hand , stilled the people , and persuaded them to depart . On Sunday morning , November 29 , Tom Brandon , looking with the telescope , saw a ship at Nantasket , and knew by the signals that it was the Dartmouth , Captain Hall . When meeting was over at noon , he called upon Doctor Warren and found him writing a circular to be sent to the surrounding towns , asking the people to assemble on Monday morning in Faneuil Hall . Tom took the writing to the printing office of Edes & Gill in Queen Street , and a printer quickly put it in type . On Monday morning the people of Boston , Charlestown , Cambridge , and all surrounding towns were reading it . FRIENDS !
