midnight
I have known you from the first , '' replied Christy . Pawcett was as disgusted as the other had been , and he turned his face to the ceiling of his berth . Christy was satisfied that these men would give him no more trouble at present . When Mr. Baskirk went on deck to take his watch at midnight , the fog had disappeared , and a fresh breeze was blowing from the westward . This change was reported to the captain , and he went on deck . No sail had been seen since the fog cleared off , and Christy returned to his state room , where he was soon asleep again . He was called , as he had directed , at four in the morning , but no change in the weather was reported , and no sail had been seen .
