Eh, well! We had better sleep.

I will take first watch." "No, Bertric," I said; "do you two sleep.

I could not if I tried." "Why not ?" he asked, with a great yawn.

"I could sleep anywhere at this minute, and Dalfin is as bad." "I think that I could not sleep with yonder chief so near me," I said frankly.
Dalfin laughed, though Bertric did not; but without more ado, they took the sail from the nearest boat and rolled themselves under it on the after deck.

They were asleep in a moment, knowing that I would call them with the first sign of wind, if it came before my watch was ended.
