About midnight
And then something strange happened . The Weathercock , although he had hopped into the cabin to escape the storm , went out on deck every now and then to look about him , so as to report to Capt. Noah the whereabouts of the Ark. . He did n't seem to mind the storm , for a weathercock is used to all sorts of weather and knows just from what quarter the wind is blowing , you know . About midnight , after coming in from deck , he hopped up to little Marjorie 's cabin and knocked on the door . But she was so fast asleep she did n't hear him , and if it had n't been for the dove , who was a very light sleeper , I do n't believe the Weathercock would ever have been able to tell Marjorie this strange thing that had happened . But just as soon as the little dove heard the knocking , she flew down from her cage and opened the door . And after the Weathercock had whispered to her she went over to where Marjorie lay sound asleep in her berth .
