About midnight
But he did not sleep well . He had bad dreams : his house in Jerusalem was burnt down , his ships were wrecked , faithless stewards broke open his chests . And amid all , always the cry , `` Give it all up ! '' About midnight he awoke . And it was no longer a dream , but terrible reality . A muffled noise could be heard throughout the camp , dark forms with glittering weapons moved softly about , in the camp itself crawling figures moved softly here and there . A tall , dark man , accompanied by Bedouins , carrying torches and knives , stood in front of Simeon .
