six o'clock in the morning
Mont slept badly , for he anticipated a night attack . `` What a sight ! They are going to attack us , sure ! '' It was Mont who spoke , as at six o'clock in the morning he ascended to the platform . The morning mist had lifted , and he could see the land distinctly . The savages were very busy , and more numerous than they had been the night before . As well as he could calculate , he counted six or seven hundred of them .
