two o'clock
Of the first , no one thought for a moment ; and of the two others , we decided on the last , as far the most comfortable , and , on the whole , as the safest . An hour after we had come to this determination , I question if either of the five knew anything about it . I never slept more profoundly in my life , and my companions subsequently gave the same account of their several conditions . Fatigue , and youth , and health , gave us all refreshing sleep ; and , as we lay down at nine , two o'clock came after so much time totally lost in the way of consciousness . I say two o'clock ; for my watch told me that was just the hour , when the Indian awoke me , by shaking my shoulder . One gets the habits of watchfulness in the woods , and I was on my feet in an instant . Dark as it was , for it was deep night , I could distinguish that Susquesus was alone stirring , and that he had unbarred the door of our cabin .
