About one o'clock in the morning
The night came , and we retired , to dream of the marriage festivities of the morrow . I took my usual stroll into the car occupied by the Chinese soldiers , and found the treasure of the Son of Heaven faithfully guarded . Half the detachment were awake and half were asleep . About one o'clock in the morning I visited Kinko , and handed him over my purchases at Nia . The young Roumanian was in high spirits . He anticipated no further obstacles , he would reach port safely , after all . `` I am getting quite fat in this box , '' he told me .
