eight o'clock
This notice is hereby given you in order that we may go on record as disclaiming any responsibility as charterers prior to the departure of the said steamer Tillicum on her next voyage . Yours very truly , PACIFIC SHIPPING COMPANY , By Matthew Peasley , President . A copy of this letter Matt sent by registered mail , with a request for a return registry receipt , to each of the creditors of the Tillicum of whom he could get track . He had all the receipts in hand by the last mail delivery the next day , and at eight o'clock that night the Tillicum , having cleared the customs the same afternoon , departed for Panama . Two days later Matt again called on Morrow & Company for the money due him and , after much argument , succeeded in getting it . He hastened at once to the bank on which it was drawn and asked the paying teller to certify it . This the latter declined to do -- neither would he cash the check ; so Matt took it back to Kelton .
