eleven o'clock
The hole was soon enlarged , and Archie re-entering , the pair descended to the woodshed which adjoined the kitchen , and there , with a spade and mattock which Cluny had purchased on the preceding day , they set to work to dig a grave . In two hours it was completed . The body of John Martin was lowered into it , the earth replaced and trodden down hard , and the wood again piled on to it . At eleven o'clock a soldier entered with the governor 's pass ordering the soldier at the gate to allow a cart with the body of John Martin , accompanied by four women , to pass out from the town . At the appointed time the cart arrived . Archie now took his place in the coffin . His face was whitened , and a winding sheet wrapped round him , lest by an evil chance any should insist on again looking into the coffin .
