I was glad to get to bed, although I felt that staying up so
tremendously late was great fun. As I climbed into the bunk over
the Doctor's and pulled the blankets snugly round me, I found I
could look out of the port-hole at my elbow, and, without raising
my head from the pillow, could see the lights of Penzance
swinging gently up and down with the motion of the ship at
anchor. It was like being rocked to sleep with a little show
going on to amuse you. I was just deciding that I liked the life
of the sea very much when I fell fast asleep.
