four to six in the evening
But the third man yet lay in his bunk , in the self-same posture in which his limbs had been adjusted by the crimp , who had deposited him there . His name was down on the ship 's papers as Miguel Saveda , and for Miguel Saveda the chief mate at last came forward , shouting down the forecastle-scuttle , and commanding his instant presence on deck . But the sailors answered for their new comrade ; giving the mate to understand that Miguel was still fast locked in his trance , and could not obey him ; when , muttering his usual imprecation , the mate retired to the quarterdeck . This was in the first dog-watch , from four to six in the evening . At about three bells , in the next watch , Max the Dutchman , who , like most old seamen , was something of a physician in cases of drunkenness , recommended that Miguel 's clothing should be removed , in order that he should lie more comfortably . But Jackson , who would seldom let any thing be done in the forecastle that was not proposed by himself , capriciously forbade this proceeding . So the sailor still lay out of sight in his bunk , which was in the extreme angle of the forecastle , behind the bowsprit-bitts -- two stout timbers rooted in the ship 's keel .
