About two in the morning
Is _ all _ Australia like this place ? ' '' * * * * * When no ships arrive , the Islanders just drop into the pubs , as a matter of routine , for their usual evening soak . They drink weird compounds -- horehound beer , known as `` lady dog '' , and things like that . About two in the morning they go home speechless , but still able to travel . It is very rarely that an Islander gets helplessly drunk , but strangers generally have to be put to bed . The Japanese on the island are a strong faction . They have a club of their own , and once gave a dinner to mark the death of one of their members .
