four o'clock
It was the morning after Hasbrook was pounded to a jelly in his own house ; but I am satisfied that the captain had nothing to do with it . '' `` I am not so sure of that , '' added Laud . `` I am . I went to the captain 's house before he returned that day , and both Sykes and his wife told me he had left home at four o'clock that morning , and this was after the pounding was done . Besides , the captain was over on Long Island when I saw him . If he had done the deed , he would have got home before daylight , for the wind was fresh and fair . Instead of that , he was over at Turtle Head when I first saw him .
