midnight
Howe had ruined himself as a leader by his silly conduct , and there was not likely to be any further concerted action among them . Mr. Lowington had faithfully followed out his plan , and had directed Mr. Fluxion to adopt the same treatment for those who refused to do duty in the Josephine -- to keep them in the steerage , and feed them on sailors ' fare . The result of the treatment in the consort was yet to be learned , for she had not been seen since the supply of water had been procured from her . At midnight the wind blew fresh from the north-west , and with all sails set , the ship logged twelve knots . The three lights on the Casquets , at the western extremity of the Channel Islands were in sight , and the prospect of seeing Ushant early in the forenoon was good . As all hands were now on duty , the system of quarter watches was restored , so that each part could have six hours of uninterrupted sleep . There was nothing for the watch on deck to do , except to steer , and keep a lookout ; and there was a great deal of discussion about mutiny in general , and the Young America mutiny in particular .
