I sat on the deck and thought a little, and dozed a little; and by the time it was morning, I found we were in the Savannah River.

I now hated this river worse than ever.
Everything was quiet on the water, and everything, except the engine, was just as quiet on the tug.

Rectus and Corny and Celia were still asleep, and nobody else seemed stirring, though, of course, some of the men were at their posts.

I don't think the captain wanted to be about when Corny came out on deck, and found that we had given up the search.
I intended to be with her when she first learned this terrible fact, which I knew would put an end to all hope in her heart; but I was in no hurry for her to wake up.

I very much hoped she would sleep until we reached the city, and then we could take her directly to her kind friends.
And she did sleep until we reached the city.
