nine o'clock
As for you , Cap'n Sproul , as a seaman I can sympathize with you about getting cheated by land-pirates in that timber-land deal and in other things . But as a representative of the Government I 'm not going to help you make good to the extent of fifteen thousand dollars on a hole and a Cap Kidd treasure fake . Hands off for me , seeing that it 's a matter strictly in the family ! This cutter is due to round to in Portland harbor to-morrow morning a little after nine o'clock . I 'll send the two of you in my gig to Commercial Wharf , see that both are landed at the same time , and then -- well '' -- the commander turned quizzical gaze from one to the other with full appreciation of the situation -- `` it then depends on what you do , each of you , and how quick you do it . '' The Cap'n walked out of the room , his hand on his breast pocket . Colonel Ward followed , closing and unclosing his long fingers as if his hands itched to get at that pocket .
