I slept right through the night, and was surprised to find when I opened
my eyes that it was daylight. Jim and I at once turned out and went on
deck.
There was the land, broad on the starboard bow, still at some distance.
When I looked aloft I saw that the yards were square, and studding-sails
on either side. A strong north-easterly wind was blowing, and we were
running down Channel.
The captain, the first mate, and the doctor were on deck. Jim and I
gazed eagerly at the land.
