four o'clock
The only mate I ever knew that showed any feeling was one who ` ad been a doctor and ` ad gone to sea to better ` imself . He did n't believe in medicine ; his idea was to cut things out , and he was so kind and tender , and so fond of ` is little box of knives and saws , that you would n't ha ' thought anybody could ` ave had the ` art to say `` no '' to him . But they did . I remember ` im getting up at four o'clock one morning to cut a man 's leg off , and at ha ' - past three the chap was sitting up aloft with four pairs o ' trousers on and a belaying-pin in his ` and . One chap I knew , Joe Summers by name , got so sick o ' work one v ` y' ge that he went mad . Not dangerous mad , mind you . Just silly .
