eleven in the evening
Peaks continued for some time to give the prisoner good advice , assuring him that he was no better than the rest of the crew , and that it would not hurt him any more than others to obey the orders of the officers . But it was sowing seed in stony ground , and Clyde , finding he could make nothing out of the honest boatswain , decided to await his time with what patience he could command , which , however , was not much . Peaks was permitted to follow Peter Simple in his stirring career during the rest of the afternoon . The crew returned from Tivoli at eleven in the evening , and soon the ship was quiet , with only an anchor watch , consisting of an officer on the quarter-deck , and two seamen on the forecastle . Clyde 's supper was given to him in his prison , and a bed made up for his use . He kept awake till all the students came on board , and while he was waiting for the crew to slumber , he dropped asleep himself , and did not wake till all hands were called in the morning . He was vexed with himself for his neglect , and afraid that the carpenter would miss the saw , and remember where he had left it .
