ten o'clock
`` Aft , with you ! Jumping , it is , now ! '' Aft , we went , and jumping , too , with the mate 's laugh in our ears . I had the second trick at the wheel that watch , from ten o'clock till midnight . I came panting and sweating to the task , keenly relishing the chance of resting . For there was to be no `` farming '' away the night watches in the _ Golden Bough _ ; the second mate had kept us upon the dead run from one job to another , and I sensed this was the routine of the ship . It was a fine , clean smelling night of moon and stars , and brisk breeze .
