three in the morning
`` I think we all know more about the Philippines than we ever knew before , though I have been there ; and to-morrow I shall have something to say , very briefly , about the city of Manila , '' said the commander . `` When shall we get there , Captain ? '' asked Dr. Hawkes . `` Day after to-morrow morning ; but I shall lay off so as not to get there at three in the morning . '' -LSB- 1 -RSB- FOOTNOTE : -LSB- 1 -RSB- On board of a steamer from Colombo , Ceylon , to London , I met an educated Scotch gentleman from Manila , who pronounced the name Philippine , the last _ i _ long . On the steamer from Liverpool to Boston , I met a lady , also from Manila , and she pronounced it with a long _ i _ in the last syllable . I conclude this is the fashion among English-speaking people in the Philippine Islands .
