ten o'clock
As soon as they were clear and well inside , the whole party went down into the cabin , Lord B. requesting Pickersgill and Corbett to join him in aparting glass . Mr. Stewart , who had received the account of what had passed from Cecilia , was very attentive to Pickersgill , and took an opportunity of saying that he was sorry that he had said or done anything to annoy him . Every one recovered his spirits ; and all was good-humour and mirth , because Miss Ossulton adhered to her resolution of not quitting the cabin till she could quit the yacht . At ten o'clock the yacht was anchored . Pickersgill took his leave of the honourable company , and went in his boat with his men ; and Lord B. was again in possession of his vessel , although he had not a ship 's company . Maddox recovered his usual tone ; and the cook flourished his knife , swearing that he should like to see the smuggler who would again order him to dress cutlets _ à l'ombre Chinoise _ . The yacht had remained three days at Cowes , when Lord B. received a letter from Pickersgill , stating that the men of his vessel had been captured , and would be condemned , in consequence of their having the gentlemen on board , who were bound to appear against them , to prove that they had sunk the brandy .
