twenty minutes after three
His legs were thickly cased in two or three pairs of breeches , the outer pair being of a dark green cloth . He also wore a handsome red waistcoat , laced , and a stout coat of a kind of frieze . In his coat pocket I found a silver tobacco-box , a small glass flask fitted with a silver band and half full of an amber-coloured liquor , hard froze ; and in his waistcoat pocket a gold watch , shaped like an apple , the back curiously chased and inlaid with jewels of several kinds , forming a small letter M . The hands pointed to twenty minutes after three . A key of a strange shape and a number of seals , trinkets , and the like , were attached to the watch . These things , together with a knife , a key , a thick plain silver ring , and some Spanish pieces in gold and silver were what I found on this man . There was nothing to tell me who he was nor how long he had been on the island .
