NED LAND'S TEMPERS How long we slept I do not know; but our sleep must have lasted long, for it rested us completely from our fatigues.

I woke first.

My companions had not moved, and were still stretched in their corner.
Hardly roused from my somewhat hard couch, I felt my brain freed, my mind clear.

I then began an attentive examination of our cell.
Nothing was changed inside.

The prison was still a prison--the prisoners, prisoners.
