About midnight
There was plenty of clothes and blankets and everything at the other end , but we thought we 'd ruther take the rain than go meddling back there . WE tried to make some plans , but we could n't come to no agreement . Me and Jim was for turning around and going back home , but Tom allowed that by the time daylight come , so we could see our way , we would be so far toward England that we might as well go there , and come back in a ship , and have the glory of saying we done it . About midnight the storm quit and the moon come out and lit up the ocean , and we begun to feel comfortable and drowsy ; so we stretched out on the lockers and went to sleep , and never woke up again till sun-up . The sea was sparkling like di ` monds , and it was nice weather , and pretty soon our things was all dry again . We went aft to find some breakfast , and the first thing we noticed was that there was a dim light burning in a compass back there under a hood . Then Tom was disturbed .
