six in the morning
One had been shot dead -- he was lucky -- another had fallen off the wall and broke his leg . Two had got clear off , and had never been heard of since . We were all locked up in our cells every evening , and at five o'clock , too . We did n't get out till six in the morning ; a long , long time . Cold enough in the bitter winter weather , that had then come in , and a long , weary , wretched time to wait and watch for daylight . Well , first of all , we had to get the cell door open . That was the easiest part of the lot .
