noon
When they got there , the skipper was astonished to find that the polite young gentlemen from New York were too tipsy to use the bait and lines he had procured . They drank all they could hold , and then went to sleep . They had not told Dory where to go next , and he anchored to wait for further orders . At noon they both turned out , but it was only to drink till they were tipsy again . They insisted that the skipper should drink with them ; but , when he asked them who was to take care of the boat if he did as they did , they gave up the point . They remained in Mallett 's Bay all the first day . The next morning they wanted to go to Missisquoi Bay , and the skipper sailed the Goldwing to that part of the lake .
