6 o'clock
Port Watch , 12 o'clock . _ Supper . _ Starboard Watch , 5-1/2 o'clock . Port Watch , 6 o'clock . The watch bill for the second day was the same , with the exception of the names of the watches and quarter watches . The entire programme was reversed by the operation of the dog watches , which substituted `` port '' for `` starboard , '' and `` starboard '' for `` port , '' in the next day 's routine . When the boys were permitted to go below , they rushed to the watch bills , and studied them faithfully , till they fully understood the programme .
