nine o'clock
Dick now recognised Charley , and right proud he was to pilot the _ Good Hope _ into Stormount Bay , nor would he receive a shilling reward , not even a glass of grog to drink Jack 's health , for since he had given up smuggling and all its accompanying sins , he had become a strict temperance-league man . `` No , Master Jack , I wo n't drink your health , but I 'll pray for it , and that 'll do us both more good , '' he observed . Little did Mrs Askew suppose whose vessel her lantern was guiding into Stormount Bay that night . The schooner 's anchor was dropped and her sails furled before nine o'clock . The voyagers had purposed waiting till the morning before going on shore , but Jack 's impatience would brook no delay . Charley went first and announced himself to Becky , who immediately exclaimed under her breath , `` Is he come , Master Charles ? '' `` Never mind , '' answered Charley , `` Do you go in and say Charley Blount has come . ''
