`` The water was quite warm , and I slipped down and changed my clothes , directly they left off firing . '' `` Never mind , you turn in as you are told . You have done us good service , tonight ; and have earned your keep on board the brig , if you were to stop here till she fell to pieces of old age . '' When Bob went up in the morning , at five o'clock , the three Spanish vessels were still lying at anchor under the land , seven or eight miles away . `` There is a breeze coming , '' Joe said , `` and it is from the south , so we shall get it long before they do . We shall see no more of them . '' As soon as the breeze reached them , the sails were braced aft ; and the brig kept as close to the wind as she would sail , lying almost directly off from the land .
