About ten o'clock
`` Well , '' said Bramble , `` praised be Heaven for all things . I expected to have lost my precious liberty for years , and I have only lost two shirts , one pair of trousers , and three pair of worsted stockings . '' We had nothing to eat or drink , but that we cared little for , as the wind was fair . About ten o'clock that night we landed at Cawsand Bay near Plymouth , where we sat down to a hearty supper ; and when we went to bed , I did not forget to thank Providence for my unexpected escape . Another Escape , more fortunate than the one recorded in the preceding Chapter . From the time that I had passed my examination , and worked as a pilot on my own account , until the period of our escape , which I have narrated in the preceding chapter , I had continued to live in the cottage with Bramble , without contributing any share to the expenses . I had at first proposed it , but Bramble would not listen to any such arrangement ; he considered me , he said , as his son , and who knew , he added , but that the cottage would be mine after he was gone .
