noon
The eleven ships did the same to the two galleys so that they took fourteen ships , and there were two that they made beach themselves . The others escaped . Now let us see what Tirant is doing , for I can still see them in battle . They began fighting at noon and continued all night long until the following day . They fought twenty-seven times , and Tirant , alone and without help , fearlessly attacked time after time . `` I will take you , '' said Tirant , `` or I will die trying . '' During the fighting Tirant was wounded in the arm by a spear .
