one o'clock
Nothing can go ashore till the port officer has been on board , and the usual formalities gone through . I do n't know , yet , whether we shall discharge into lighters , or go alongside ; but I will have your boxes all put together , in readiness for you , the first thing in the morning , whichever way it is . '' `` We shall be very glad if you will dine with us , tomorrow , '' Captain O'Halloran said . `` We dine at one o'clock or , if that would be inconvenient for you , come to supper at seven . '' `` I would rather do that , if you will let me , '' Captain Lockett replied . `` I shall be pretty busy tomorrow , and you military gentlemen do give us such a lot of trouble -- in the way of papers , documents , and signatures -- that I never like leaving the ship , till I get rid of the last bale and box with the government brand on it . '' `` Very well , then ; we shall expect you to supper . ''
