eight in the morning
Captain Jack lost no time in presenting himself before the lieutenant commander . `` Mr. Benson , '' said Mr. Mayhew , after greeting the submarine boy , `` your craft will be under a marine guard to-night , and at all times while here at the Naval Academy . If you and your crew would like to spend the night ashore , in the quaint little old town of Annapolis , there 's no reason why you should n't . But you will all need to report back aboard , ready for duty , by eight in the morning . '' Jack thanked the naval commander , then hastened back to the `` Farnum '' to communicate the news . `` Me for the shore trip , '' declared Eph , promptly . All the others agreed with him .
