four o’clock
It was about two in the morning when we got alongside the pier . The four motors were there all right , but there was n't a soul about except the men in charge of them . We got out the guns . They were done up in small bundles and the cartridges in handy little cases ; but it took us till half-past four o'clock to get them ashore . By that time there were a few people knocking about ; but they did n't seem to want to interfere with us . In fact , some of them came and helped us to pack the stuff into the cars . They were perfectly friendly . ''
