noon
In a few weeks she arrived off Java , and , previous to entering the splendid roads of Batavia , hove-to for the night . This was the last night they would be under sail , and Philip stirred not from the deck , but walked to and fro , anxiously waiting for the morning . The morning broke -- the sun rose in splendour , and the _ Batavia _ steered into the roads . Before noon she was at anchor , and Philip , with his mind relieved , hastened down to his cabin , and took that repose which he so much required . He awoke refreshed , for a great weight had been taken off his mind . `` It does not follow , then , '' thought he , `` that because I am on board the vessel therefore the crew are doomed to perish ; it does not follow that the Phantom Ship is to appear because I seek her . If so , I have no further weight upon my conscience .
