I think you are likely to have a quick passage . '' `` Yes , if the wind holds we shall be at Southampton tomorrow evening . I shall get out the cargo by torchlight , for with this wind I do n't want to lose an hour . I do n't know how much there will be to take in , but I reckon anyhow that we shall be off by nine o'clock in the morning , and if we have luck shall be at Weymouth before dark .

The skipper 's calculations as to time were verified , and they entered the river at Weymouth forty-eight hours after leaving Dover .
