About ten o'clock
Skager was to sail at midnight , and Torr was determined that Jan should not leave the house until that hour was passed . Long before it , he appeared to have forgotten the quarrel , to be indeed too intoxicated to remember any thing . Torr was satisfied , but his daughter Suneva was not . About ten o'clock , Snorro , sitting in the back door of the store , saw Suneva coming swiftly towards him . Ere he could speak she said , `` Skager and Jan have quarreled and knives have been drawn . If thou knowest where Skager is at anchor , run there , for I tell thee , there was more of murder than liquor in Jan 's eyes this night . My father thought to detain him , but he hath slipped away , and thou may be sure he has gone to find Skager . ''
