In a short time, having become agreeably warm, they gave a simultaneous yawn, and lying down again fell into a sleep, from which they did not awaken until the red winter sun shot its early rays over the arctic scenery. Once more Harry sprang up, and let his hand fall heavily on Hamilton's shoulder.
