Note 708 — SECTION XXXVII: CHAPTER III

The hours of this belated work are stated very differently by various naval witnesses, some of whom say that they worked till 1 a.m., others till 4 a.m., others till 7; one thinks that embarkations continued till well into the forenoon of the 13th—say 11 o’clock. At any rate, the hour must have been long after daylight had come—which was at 4.15, as is recorded by one witness.
