three o'clock
The Butterfly was towed down to her house , and taken out of the water . It was found that two of her planks had been stove , and that the damage could be easily repaired . Mr. Walker proposed sending to Boston for a boat-builder ; but Captain Sedley was sure that Uncle Ben , with the assistance of the wheelwright , could repair her quite as well . The Bluebird then returned to the beach , and the boys were dismissed till three o'clock . The situation of the Rovers on the island was next discussed by Captain Sedley and Mr. Walker , and it was decided that , as Tim had escaped , it was not expedient to punish his companions , who were less guilty . So Uncle Ben , with Frank and Tony , was sent off to bring them ashore . Barney and his band were glad enough to get off .
