At eight o'clock this evening the starboard watch will be on duty.

We have four times as many hands on board the Young America as are usually employed in merchant ships, so that a quarter watch will be able to handle the ship on all ordinary occasions.

We shall, therefore, keep a quarter watch on ship's duty at all times through the twenty-four hours.
"During the night, including the time from eight in the evening until eight in the morning, each quarter watch will be on duty two hours, and then off six hours; and each hand will obtain six consecutive hours' sleep every night.

At eight this evening, the first part of the starboard watch will have the ship in charge, and all others may turn in and sleep.

At ten, the second part of the starboard watch will be called, without disturbing any others.
