"Ah, tank you, Massa Tom de debil nearly get we all in a scrape just now. However, I see him is quite sound de sentry dat is, for de oder never sleep, you know." He had again come under the window. "Now, Lieutenant, in two word, to morrow night at two bells, in de middle watch, I will be here, and we shall make a start of it; will you venture, sir?"
