about eight in the morning
We have n't any one to peel vegetables yet , and if you think you care to do that work I guess we can fix you up all right . '' Archie did n't wait to consider whether peeling vegetables was hard work or not . He was too glad to have a position of any kind aboard ship to be particular about what his work was like , so he told the steward that he was willing to take the place . `` Well , be on hand at about eight in the morning , and we 'll see that you get to Honolulu . '' Archie was overjoyed at his good management . `` I am going to save about a hundred dollars , '' he said to himself , `` and I will have this money to send home to mother . '' The rest of the afternoon and the evening he spent in going about San Francisco , and he found it to be more like New York than any city he had yet seen .
