about
two in the morning
The schooner seemed to be full of queer , unrelated movements . The noise of the water slipping past was like somebody talking . The striking of the bells kept me from sleeping . I did not get to sleep till well into the middle watch -LRB- about two in the morning -RRB- after which I slept brokenly until a rough voice bawled in my ear to get up out of that , as it was time to wash down . I put my clothes on hurriedly , wondering where I should find a basin in which to wash myself . I could see none in the ` tweendecks ; but I supposed that there would be some in the cabins , which opened off the ` tweendecks on each side . Now a ` tweendecks -LRB- I may as well tell you here -RRB- is nothing more than a deck of a ship below the upper deck .
