eight o'clock
I was so tired that I slept nearly all day arter I ` ad got ` ome , and I ` ad no sooner got back to the wharf in the evening than I see that the landlord ` ad been busy . If there was one silly fool that asked me the best way of making mud-pies , I should think there was fifty . Little things please little minds , and the silly way some of 'em went on made me feel sorry for my sects . By eight o'clock , ` owever , they ` ad all sheered off , and I got a broom and began to sweep up to ` elp pass the time away until low-water . On ' y one craft ` ad come up that day -- a ketch called the Peewit -- and as she was berthed at the end of the jetty she was n't in my way at all . Her skipper came on to the wharf just afore ten . Fat , silly old man ' e was , named Fogg .
