If that is the case , I do n't join the ship this summer , '' said Stockwell , very decidedly . `` Nor I either , '' added Sanford . Before dark , Mr. Blaine received a despatch from the principal , directing him to take the next train to Malmö , which is the town in Sweden opposite Copenhagen . The head steward did not communicate its contents to his charge that night , but he called all of them at four o'clock the next morning , and by good management on his part , they were on the train which left Stockholm at six o'clock . At Katherineholm , where the party ate an excellent breakfast , Mr. Blaine unhappily missed three of his company . The excursionists of the squadron slept soundly after their trip to Elsinore , and Clyde Blacklock , true to the promise he had made to himself , kept awake to watch his chances to escape . Not a sound was to be heard in the ship , and the intense silence was even more trying to the prisoner in the brig than the noise and bustle of the whole crew when awake .
