1 is a direct object b/c time is what the watch kept.
2 is a direct object b/c the captain and lieutenant are the ones whe got saluted.
3 is indirect b/c she showed the garden (d.o.) to me.
4 indirect... see above.
5 object complement, b/c the captain has BECOME the best played one.
This is only my advice.. feel free to double check.
