ten
o'clock
A convenient negro made twenty-five cents by boosting him over the wall . The bearded man rushed on the Chesapeake Bay side of the Armory and Bancroft Hall , ran over the terrace , and bolted into the open window of room 23 . The five minutes ' warning bugle was soon heard , to be followed by the call for taps . And in Bancroft Hall was to be heard the measured tread of the midshipmen on duty making the ten o'clock inspection of rooms . Hardly had this ceased when the bearded man emerged from Bancroft Hall by the same way he had entered it . He was off on a bound and ran through the grounds unobserved . The wall presented no difficulty to him , and he was soon back in his seat in the theatre box .
