Thanks MM, but I have another question.

What is the difference between "at night" and "by night"? Could you please give an example, showing the use of "by night"?

Abil: I think that maybe (maybe!) "by" might work in your sentence: By night ( = under cover of darkness), he was taken to a jungle and buried alive.
