Rangsley repeated slowly . The grunt answered again . `` Here 's three men to be set aboard the _ Thames _ at a quarter after eleven ... '' Rangsley said again . `` Here 's ... a-cop ... three men to be set aboard _ Thames _ at quarter after eleven , '' a voice hiccoughed back to us . `` Well , see you do it , '' Rangsley said . `` He 's as drunk as a king , '' he commented to us ; `` but when you 've said a thing three times , he remembers -- hark to him . '' The drunken voice from below kept up a constant babble of , `` Three men to be set aboard _ Thames _ ... three men to be set ... '' `` He 'll not stop saying that till he has you safe aboard , '' Rangsley said .
