ten
o'clock in the morning
Harry , who was first , had been knocked down before he had time to put his hand to his sword . Jacob had fought valiantly for a short time , but he too had been knocked senseless by a blow with a capstan bar . They had then been roughly tumbled below , where no further attention had been paid to them . The Royalist had been blown many miles out to sea , and did not make her anchorage until ten o'clock in the morning . Then the hatches were removed , and the prisoners brought on deck . The inlet was a small one , and contained , only a little fishing village ; the prisoners saw the Royalist sail off again , directly they had been placed in the boat . They had from the first moment when they regained consciousness entertained no doubts whatever into whose hands they had fallen , and they felt their position to be desperate .
