About nine o'clock
After a time , however , all was quiet again , and the old sailor sought his bed . During the night it cleared off , and Tuesday was a bright , pleasant day . It was found in the morning that one of the tents had been moved away from the other . About nine o'clock all the Rovers gathered on the beach ; but they were divided into two parties , and there seemed to be a violent dispute between them . One of the parties , as they attempted to get into the Zephyr , was assaulted by the other , and a fight ensued , in which neither gained a victory . Then a parley , and each party took one of the boats and pulled away from the island . It was observed that Charles was no longer the coxswain .
