They had gone ashore in the early summer twilight and had very promptly put themselves to bed ; thanks to which circumstance and to their having , during the previous hours , in their commodious cabin , slept the sleep of youth and health , they began to feel , toward eleven o'clock , very alert and inquisitive . They looked out of their windows across a row of small green fields , bordered with low stone walls of rude construction , and saw a deep blue ocean lying beneath a deep blue sky , and flecked now and then with scintillating patches of foam . A strong , fresh breeze came in through the curtainless casements and prompted our young men to observe , generally , that it did n't seem half a bad climate . They made other observations after they had emerged from their rooms in pursuit of breakfast -- a meal of which they partook in a huge bare hall , where a hundred Negroes , in white jackets , were shuffling about upon an uncarpeted floor ; where the flies were superabundant , and the tables and dishes covered over with a strange , voluminous integument of coarse blue gauze ; and where several little boys and girls , who had risen late , were seated in fastidious solitude at the morning repast .
