about eight in the morning
`` Her whistle 'll contenoo fainter till it stops . So you better go below and take your sleep out . '' The boys waited a little longer , and hearing the next whistle sounding fainter , as Captain Corbet said , they followed his advice , and were soon asleep , as before . This time there was no further interruption , and they did not wake till about eight in the morning , when they were summoned to breakfast by Solomon . On reaching the deck and looking around , a cry of joy went forth from all . The fog was no longer to be seen , no longer did there extend around them the wall of gloomy gray , shutting out all things with its misty folds . No longer was the broad bay visible .
