eleven o'clock
To find the Shivering Grounds by night , you get the Gull Rock in a line with Tregamenna and pull out till you open the light on St. Anthony 's Point ; but everybody gives the place a wide berth because Archelaus Rowett 's lugger foundered there , one time , with six hands on board ; and they say that at night you can hear the drowned men hailing their names . But my grandfather was the boldest man in Port Loe , and said he did n't care . So one Christmas Eve by daylight he and his mates went out and tilled the trammel ; and then they came back and spent the fore-part of the evening over the eggy-hot , down to Oliver 's tiddly-wink , to keep my grandfather 's spirits up and also to show that the bet was made in earnest . 'T was past eleven o'clock when they left Oliver 's and walked down to the cove to see my grandfather off . He has told me since that he did n't feel afraid at all , but very friendly in mind , especially towards William John Dunn , who was walking on his right hand . This puzzled him at the first , for as a rule he did n't think much of William John Dunn . But now he shook hands with him several times , and just as he was stepping into the boat he says , `` You 'll take care of Mary Polly , while I 'm away . ''
