1:30
We had depended on the sun to bleach our much be-scrubbed clothes , but -- well -- I would have left them where they were if I could . As for the `` Kid 's '' -- after holding them off at arm 's length for a while , he remarked , `` Why , I would not use such rags to clean my bicycle at home , '' and threw them overboard . He was always a reckless chap . The infantry drill we had at afternoon quarters at 1:30 , served to keep us busy . The same thing had been gone through on the `` New Hampshire '' many a time and oft . We found it rather difficult to march straight and keep a good line on a swaying deck . So we were kept at it until we had got the hang of it .
