They had dropped anchor in the mouth of the Tagus , and instead of cleaving new waves perpetually , the same waves kept returning and washing against the sides of the ship . As soon as breakfast was done , Willoughby disappeared over the vessel 's side , carrying a brown leather case , shouting over his shoulder that every one was to mind and behave themselves , for he would be kept in Lisbon doing business until five o'clock that afternoon .

He had said distinctly that he would take no passengers on this trip .
