It was eleven oclock at night when Surgeon Wyley of His Majestys ship Bonetta washed his hands, drew on his coat, and walked from the hospital up the narrow cobbled street of Tangier to the MainGuard by the Catherine Port. In the upper room of the MainGuard he found Major Shackleton of the Tangier Foot taking a hand at bassette with Lieutenant Scrope of Trelawneys Regiment and young Captain Tessin of the Kings Battalion. There were three other officers in the room, and to them Surgeon Wyley began to talk in a prosy, medical strain. Two of his audience listened in an uninterested stolidity for just so long as the remnant of manners, which still survived in Tangier, commanded, and then strolling through the open window on to the balcony, lit their pipes.
