four AM
Soon after they anchored at that place . 11th . -- Calm , moderate weather . At four AM the enemy began to advance from the Shoe , at which time I lay becalmed about three miles from them , and as they brought the sea breeze with them while I was without power of moving , I felt that my time was come , and that I should once more fall into their hands as a prisoner . Ou Trou and all its horrors rose up before me . Old Nol looked very grave . `` It 's hard times we shall have of it , Mr Hurry , if the breeze do n't be smart about coming , sir , '' he remarked , shaking his head .
