noon
Toward midnight when they reached some of the wider parts of the river they set the sail and went ahead at a swifter pace . Henry calculated that they could reach the Ohio slightly after dawn , but as the night was uncommonly clear , with the promise of a very brilliant day to follow , they furled their sails at least two hours before sunrise , and , finding another shallow cove , drew their boat into it among the bushes . `` Now for a sleep , '' said Henry . `` Tom and I will keep watch until noon and then Sol and Paul will take our places . At night we will start again . '' `` And where does my watch come , pray ? '' asked Mr. Pennypacker .
