SIX o’clock in the morning of the 20th of July
This would give a rest , which was deservedly due to the hard-working crew of the raft . The night passed at the moorings near a slightly rising shore , and nothing disturbed the quiet . A little sheet-lightning was observable on the horizon , but it came from a distant storm which did not reach the entrance to the lake . AT SIX o'clock in the morning of the 20th of July , Yaquita , Minha , Lina , and the two young men prepared to leave the jangada . Joam Garral , who had shown no intention of putting his foot on shore , had decided this time , at the request of the ladies of his family , to leave his absorbing daily work and accompany them on their excursion . Torres had evinced no desire to visit Ega , to the great satisfaction of Manoel , who had taken a great dislike to the man and only waited for an opportunity to declare it . As to Fragoso , he could not have the same reason for going to Ega as had taken him to Tabatinga , which is a place of little importance compared to this .
