Once inside your "bunk" you should drift quickly off to slumberland, and when you wake up it will be five minutes later and the engineer will be trying to see what he can do with an air brake and a few steel sleeping cars. In the morning you will be in New York.
Although they were now approaching Wareville the forest was unbroken, and no sound of civilization came to their ears. Henry told Paul, who was very tired, to go to sleep as he could paddle the boat alone. Paul lay down on the blankets beside the schoolmaster, and in a couple of minutes was off to slumberland. Henry paddled on.
They found at last their resting place, a sheltered ledge of dry stone in the hollow of a hill. The stone arched above them, and it was dark in the recess, but the boys were too tired now to worry about shadows. They crept into the hollow, and, scraping up fallen leaves to soften the hard stone, lay down. Both were off to slumberland in less than five minutes.
But they were tired girls and needed no urging to seek rest on their cots as the sun sunk behind the hills on the opposite side of the lake. The move "bedward" was almost simultaneous and the drift toward slumberland not far behind.
Allee scrambled out from the warm blankets, but Cherry snuggled down closer in the pillows with a contented grunt, and was soon lost in slumberland again, so the two youngest sisters had the whole snow-covered world to themselves when they stepped out into the winter morning with shovel and broom.

Zeb walked down again to unharness Jim, who, when he found himself free, rolled over a few times and then settled down to sleep, with Eureka nestling comfortably beside his big, boney body. Then the boy returned to one of the upper rooms, and in spite of the hardness of the glass bench was soon deep in slumberland. The Mangaboos Prove Dangerous

The horses, having eaten their fill, were lying down in the grass, and his own nuzzled his hand as he stroked their noses.
Yet he had barely more than lost himself in slumberland when there came a blast so close at hand that, to the boys, it seemed as though they must have been blown from their cots. "That was right up toward the road!" panted Dave Darrin, leaping from his cot barefooted and clad only in pajamas. "Don't stop to dress. Come on! Chase 'em!"
My duties were to give instruction in scouting, but I seemed to be sounding a motor-horn in slumberland when I counselled my boys to "always keep their eyes skinned" as the genie of the village was weighting their eyelids with lead. For the first day or two we did not see the inhabitants of the village at all.
So little impression did the circumstance make upon Max's mind that in less than five minutes he had drifted away once more to the borders of slumberland. In the morning it was Owen who awakened the balance of the campers. "Here, suppose you fellows show a leg, and take a dip in the creek," he announced, poking his head into the tent. "I smell bacon!" cried Bandy-legs, as he sat up hurriedly.
