o'clock
This prediction was fully verified , and the Young America was moored off the town . Those who had been seasick recovered as soon as the motion of the ship ceased ; and when everything aloft and on deck had been made snug , the crew were piped to dinner . In the afternoon , part of the students were permitted to go on shore ; the band played , and several boat-races took place , very much to the delight of the people on shore , as well as those on board . At six o'clock the ship was opened for the reception of visitors , who came off in large numbers to inspect the vessel . After dark there was a brilliant display of fireworks , and the Young America blazed with blue-lights and Roman candles , set off by boys on the cross-trees , and at the yard-arms . At ten the festivities closed , and all was still in the steerage and on deck . The next morning , the ship got under way , and stood out of the harbor , bound for Brockway again .
