seven o'clock
I 've had my weaknesses , I have some now , or I would not be Mate of this ship . But I 've never insulted my employers by makin ' a -- a bloomin ' _ seraglio _ o ' the ship , nor have I ever seen it done without bringin ' black luck . Now , wait till I tell ye . The nex ' mornin ' , being on deck at seven o'clock , I saw the Second and Fourth racin ' up the dock . Their collars were loose at the back , an ' their waistcoats were all out o ' gear , an ' they 'd made hat-bands o ' their ties . Mr. McAlnwick , ye may laugh , but they were a disgrace to the ship ! `` Well , we put out o ' St. John , deck-loaded with deals , in a fog , and we stayed in a fog for three days .
