About five o'clock in the morning
We made up a bed of leaves for the night , and slept much more comfortably than we had the night before . All our bread was wet , but as we had no water , it was rather a relief ; the meat we had with us was sufficient for a week . Once more we laid down and fell fast asleep . About five o'clock in the morning I was roused by O'Brien , who at the same time put his hand gently over my mouth . I sat up , and perceived a large fire not far from us . `` The Philistines are upon us , Peter , '' said he ; `` I have reconnoitred , and they are the gendarmes . I 'm fearful of going away , as we may stumble upon some more of them .
