WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.560
an opinion.

00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:02.280
We plowed along

00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:03.700
bravely for a week

00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:04.740
or more, and

00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:05.300
without any

00:00:05.300 --> 00:00:06.100
conflict of

00:00:06.100 --> 00:00:07.080
jurisdiction among

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:08.200
the captains worth

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:08.680
mentioning,

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:10.320
the passengers soon

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:10.900
learned to

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:11.320
accommodate

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:12.420
themselves to their

00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:13.460
new circumstances,

00:00:13.940 --> 00:00:14.800
and life in the

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:15.840
ship became nearly

00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:16.880
as systematically

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:18.140
monotonous as the

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:18.940
routine of a

00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:19.380
barrack.

00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:21.260
I do not mean that

00:00:21.260 --> 00:00:22.780
it was dull, for it

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:24.000
was not entirely so

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:24.770
by any means.

00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:26.370
But there was a

00:00:26.370 --> 00:00:27.030
good deal of

00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:28.190
sameness about it.

00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:29.790
As is always the

00:00:29.790 --> 00:00:30.830
fashion at sea, the

00:00:30.830 --> 00:00:31.770
passengers shortly

00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:32.790
began to pick up

00:00:32.790 --> 00:00:34.690
sailor terms, a

00:00:34.690 --> 00:00:35.530
sign that they were

00:00:35.530 --> 00:00:36.390
beginning to feel

00:00:36.390 --> 00:00:36.850
at home.

00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:38.790
Half -past -six was

00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:39.570
no longer half

00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:40.630
-past -six to these

00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:41.670
pilgrims from New

00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:42.730
England, the South

00:00:42.730 --> 00:00:43.610
and the Mississippi

00:00:43.610 --> 00:00:44.890
Valley, it was

00:00:44.890 --> 00:00:46.190
seven bells.

00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:48.530
Eight, twelve, and

00:00:48.530 --> 00:00:49.450
four o 'clock were

00:00:49.450 --> 00:00:50.170
eight bells.

00:00:50.770 --> 00:00:51.750
The captain did not

00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:52.790
take the longitude

00:00:52.790 --> 00:00:53.630
at nine o 'clock,

00:00:53.750 --> 00:00:54.890
but at two bells.

00:00:55.510 --> 00:00:56.550
They spoke glibly

00:00:56.550 --> 00:00:57.710
of the after

00:00:57.710 --> 00:00:59.370
-cabin, the forward

00:00:59.370 --> 00:01:01.090
-cabin, port and

00:01:01.090 --> 00:01:02.410
starboard, and the

00:01:02.410 --> 00:01:04.930
at seven bells the

00:01:04.930 --> 00:01:05.750
first gong rang
