eight o'clock in the morning
I admire your honesty . I also like what you say about the need Farnum and I will have , in the future , of young men who will understand our boats thoroughly . I do n't know what you can do until we try you out . '' He took a few more thoughtful pulls at his pipe and resumed : `` See here , you come to the yard at eight o'clock in the morning , ready to do anything that 's wanted of you . I wo n't wire , but I 'll write , to-night , to the references you 've given . If we find you 're not of much use we 'll drop you . If your references do n't turn out to be unusually good , out you go !
