one at night
He said it was a whole fortune and he could n't bear the idea . Twice we stopped to fix the machinery and laid a good while , once in the night ; but it was n't dark enough , and he was afeard to skip . But the third time we had to fix it there was a better chance . We laid up at a country woodyard about forty mile above Uncle Silas 's place a little after one at night , and it was thickening up and going to storm . So Jake he laid for a chance to slide . We begun to take in wood . Pretty soon the rain come a-drenching down , and the wind blowed hard .
