I woke to find a grey patch of day streaming down the ladder-way. My eyes soon adjusted themselves to the obscurity. And then it was that I gave a great, scared leap.

If you want to see 'em you'll have to look sharp, Moses, for they're just goin' on shore." "See 'em!" echoed Moses; "of course I wants to see 'em. But for them, I'd be " The rest of the sentence was lost in the clatter of Moses' feet as he stumbled up the ladder-way.
