about half past two
Terry at length left Zac , and moved about in a desultory fashion , after which he finally settled down among the Acadians , and began to sing to them the immortal strain of St. Patrick . Although Zac had upon his mind the weight of such an important enterprise , yet it did not at all interfere with his usual slumbers . He went to bed at nine , and slept soundly . At about half past two he awoke , and waited a little longer . Then he roused Terry and Jericho . Terry then went upon deck noiselessly , and reconnoitred . It was as they had hoped it would be .
