about ten o'clock
At one o'clock we were wakened by the call , `` All hands on the cat falls . '' We slipped out of our `` dream bags '' with the best grace we could muster , and went forward to pull up the anchor to its place on the forecastle deck . So we gave up the pleasant idea that we were to spend the night undisturbed , and the guns ' crews of the watch on deck made themselves as comfortable as possible under the circumstances , on their wooden couch around the guns ; viz. , the deck . When the sun rose next morning , we found that land was plainly visible from the port side , and we soon learned that we were still in Jamaican waters and would arrive at Montego Bay about ten o'clock . The programme was carried out to the dot . The `` Yankee '' steamed into the beautiful bay , the crew `` at quarters , '' in honor of the English man-of-war `` Indefatigable , '' which lay at anchor there , and we had hardly let down our anchor when a fleet of `` bumboats '' came chasing out to us . Though an American warship had never visited this port before , we seemed to be recognized by these enterprising marine storekeepers as easy prey .
