seven o'clock
I told him what had happened , and he replied that he was going to a house where the people knew him and would let him in . When we arrived there , the people of the house were very civil ; the landlady made us some purl , which the quarter-master ordered , and which I thought very good indeed . After we had finished the jug , we both fell asleep in our chairs . I did not awaken until I was roused by the quarter-master , at past seven o'clock , when we took a wherry , and went off to the ship . O'Brien takes me under his protection -- The ship 's company are paid , so are the bumboat-women , the Jews , and the emancipationist after a fashion -- We go to sea -- _ Doctor _ O'Brien 's cure for sea-sickness -- One pill of the doctor 's more than a dose . When we arrived , I reported myself to the first lieutenant , and told him the whole story of the manner in which I had been treated , showing him the poker , which I brought on board with me . He heard me very patiently , and then said , `` Well , Mr Simple , you may be the greatest fool of your family for all I know to the contrary , but never pretend to be a fool with me .
