six o'clock
Now , what with the number of officers of the _ Harpy _ on shore , who had all put up at the same inn , and other occupants , the landlord was obliged to put his company into double and treble bedded rooms ; but this was of little consequence . Jack was shown into a doubled-bedded room , and proceeded to undress ; the other was evidently occupied , by the heavy breathing which saluted Jack 's ear . As Jack undressed , he recollected that his trousers were wet through , and to dry them he opened the window , hung them out , and then jammed down the window again upon them , to hold them in their position , after which he turned in and fell fast asleep . At six o'clock he was called , as he had requested , and proceeded to dress , but to his astonishment found the window thrown open and his trousers missing . It was evident that his partner in the room had thrown the window open during the night , and that his trousers , having fallen down into the street , had been walked off with by somebody or another . Jack looked out of the window once more , and perceived that whoever had thrown open the window had been unwell during the night . A nice drunken companion I have had , thought Jack ; but what 's to be done ?
