`` But the squire -- '' began Toglet . `` That 's none of our affair . We 'll land near Westville , and watch our chance to report . '' It was about four o'clock when the two rascals beached the sloop in an out-of-the-way spot just north of the village in which Ralph lived . No one had seen their coming , and as quickly as they could they left the craft and then sent her adrift . Both of the men had worn wigs , and these they now cast aside , altering their appearance slightly . Their guns and game-bags were hidden behind a pile of decayed logs and then they sneaked through the woods toward the hill at the extremity of Westville .
