6 o'clock
The man keeping watch would sit inside his bedroom door opening on to the gallery , with Jack 's revolver . As the bedrooms adjoined , while that of Rollins was the last in the house , it would be easy enough to guard both . The night passed , however , without incident . It had been agreed beforehand that after the expiration of Frank 's watch at 6 o'clock there would be no necessity for keeping further watch . Gabby Pete would be up and busy at his early morning tasks , and the oil drillers housed in the bunkhouse also would be stirring about . Therefore , after barring the door , a precaution Bob also had taken in the room shared with his father , he turned in without awaking Jack . Worn out by their trip of the day before with its attack and the excitement of the night , all slept soundly , and Gabby Pete did not get them up .
