about midnight
I know 'd it was ; I heard the skunks talk about what they was goin ' to do , an ' then I tried to get her out , sir . '' `` You were the watchman ? '' `` Yes , sir ; down in the lagoon at Jackson Park . These fellows come off to the yacht about midnight , an ' they had Miss Coolidge with 'em . That 's what fooled me , sir , an ' I let 'em get aboard , thinkin ' it must be all right . After that I could n't do nuthin ' -- there was six to one , an ' that ` Red ' Hogan had a gun in his mitt . They hustled me down into the cabin .
