noon
`` But never mind ; as soon as we leave Dyea we 'll have all the room we want , and more . '' `` Sleeping like this keeps a fellow warm , '' said Randy , who felt somehow as if he was out for a lark . But by and by , when somebody passed over him in the dark and slipped on his chest , he did not think it quite so much fun . However , the night passed quickly enough , and at daybreak all were stirring , for they had reached Dyea Inlet , and a landing was expected before noon . A stiff breeze was blowing , and the Inlet , a long , narrow arm of Chilkoot Inlet and the canal , was filled with angry waves blowing from off shore . Presently the first sight of Dyea was gained , and half an hour later an anchor was dropped , and the voyage so far as the steamer was concerned was over . Randy and Earl found Dyea but a small settlement .
