noon
All the boats were hauled into an inlet , where they could not be seen by any passing craft on the lake , and I felt that everything was safe . Everybody was worn out , and I think everybody went to sleep , even to the sentinels , who were stationed where they could give notice of the approach of any intruders . I was so exhausted myself that I should have slept if I had known all the deputy sheriffs in the state had been after me . And there we all lay till noon , buried in slumber . And when we awoke there appeared to be no life anywhere but on the island . The lake was calm and silent , and from the distant shores not a sound came to disturb us . When the boys did wake they were wide awake , and immediately voted that `` breaking away '' was a capital idea .
