ten o'clock
This diverted our thoughts in another direction . We seated ourselves , and in a very few minutes -- I , at least , having eaten scarcely anything at dinner -- were thinking of nothing beyond the satisfaction of our appetites . Before the meal was over the little vessel began to roll and tumble about in such a lively manner as to satisfy us that she was hauling out fast from under the lee of the land , and presently we heard the sharp patter and swish of rain upon the deck overhead . It was by this time past ten o'clock ; the two standing berths , one on each side of the small cabin , looked tolerably clean and inviting ; so , instead of going on deck as we had originally intended , we turned in , and tried to lose remembrance of the somewhat exciting events of the day in a sound sleep . The sun was shining brightly down through the diminutive sky-light when I awoke next morning , and the lad Francisco was busy sweeping out the cabin . Seeing me astir he inquired at what time we would choose to have breakfast , to which I answered that we would have it as soon as it could be got ready ; but that in the meantime we should be glad to be supplied with water , soap , and towels . These he scuttled away to get , whilst I tumbled out of my bunk and began to dress , calling out at the same time to rouse Courtenay , who was snoring away most melodiously in his berth on the opposite side of the cabin .
