two o'clock in the morning
But even after his death he could not get rest ; for men said that he had hid somewhere that treasure given him to permit the King 's escape , and that not daring to reclaim it , had let the secret die with him , and so must needs come out of his grave to try to get at it again . Mr. Glennie would never say whether he believed the tale or not , pointing out that apparitions both of good and evil spirits are related in Holy Scripture , but that the churchyard was an unlikely spot for Colonel Mohune to seek his treasure in ; for had it been buried there , he would have had a hundred chances to have it up in his lifetime . However this may be , though I was brave as a lion by day , and used indeed to frequent the churchyard , because there was the widest view of the sea to be obtained from it , yet no reward would have taken me thither at night . Nor was I myself without some witness to the tale , for having to walk to Ringstave for Dr. Hawkins on the night my aunt broke her leg , I took the path along the down which overlooks the churchyard at a mile off ; and thence most certainly saw a light moving to and fro about the church , where no honest man could be at two o'clock in the morning . Then banks came down with ruin and rout , Then beaten spray flew round about , Then all the mighty floods were out , And all the world was in the sea _ -- Jean Ingelow _ On the third of November , a few days after this visit to the Why Not ? , the wind , which had been blowing from the south-west , began about four in the afternoon to rise in sudden strong gusts . The rooks had been pitch-falling all the morning , so we knew that bad weather was due ; and when we came out from the schooling that Mr. Glennie gave us in the hall of the old almshouses , there were wisps of thatch , and even stray tiles , flying from the roofs , and the children sang : Blow wind , rise storm , Ship ashore before morn .
