At
last
I
came
right
down
upon
the
borders
of
the
clearing
.
The
western
end
was
already
steeped
in
moon-shine
;
the
rest
,
and
the
block
house
itself
,
still
lay
in
a
black
shadow
chequered
with
long
silvery
streaks
of
light
.
On
the
other
side
of
the
house
an
immense
fire
had
burned
itself
into
clear
embers
and
shed
a
steady
,
red
reverberation
,
contrasted
strongly
with
the
mellow
paleness
of
the
moon
.
There
was
not
a
soul
stirring
nor
a
sound
beside
the
noises
of
the
breeze
.
I
stopped
,
with
much
wonder
in
my
heart
,
and
perhaps
a
little
terror
also
.
It
had
not
been
our
way
to
build
great
fires
;
we
were
,
indeed
,
by
the
captain
's
orders
,
somewhat
niggardly
of
firewood
,
and
I
began
to
fear
that
something
had
gone
wrong
while
I
was
absent
.
I
stole
round
by
the
eastern
end
,
keeping
close
in
shadow
,
and
at
a
convenient
place
,
where
the
darkness
was
thickest
,
crossed
the
palisade
.

As
I
drew
nearer
,
my
heart
was
suddenly
and
greatly
lightened
.
It
is
not
a
pleasant
noise
in
itself
,
and
I
have
often
complained
of
it
at
other
times
,
but
just
then
it
was
like
music
to
hear
my
friends
snoring
together
so
loud
and
peaceful
in
their
sleep
.
The
sea-cry
of
the
watch
,
that
beautiful
"
All
's
well
,
"
never
fell
more
reassuringly
on
my
ear
.
In
the
meantime
,
there
was
no
doubt
of
one
thing
;
they
kept
an
infamous
bad
watch
.

That
was
what
it
was
,
thought
I
,
to
have
the
captain
wounded
;
and
again
I
blamed
myself
sharply
for
leaving
them
in
that
danger
with
so
few
to
mount
guard
.
By
this
time
I
had
got
to
the
door
and
stood
up
.
All
was
dark
within
,
so
that
I
could
distinguish
nothing
by
the
eye
.
As
for
sounds
,
there
was
the
steady
drone
of
the
snorers
and
a
small
occasional
noise
,
a
flickering
or
pecking
that
I
could
in
no
way
account
for
.
With
my
arms

I
walked

I
should

place
(
I
thought
with
a
silent
chuckle
)
and
enjoy
their
faces
when
they
found
me
in
the
morning
.
