When the boys awoke it was dark again. They had slept through the day without a break. Mason, who had been hovering around restlessly all day, poked his head into the stateroom just as Harry was rubbing his eyes.
"O, say, you chaps, have you returned to life again? Do you know you have been pounding your ears for thirteen hours?"
"Where are we, Midget?" asked Harry, yawning.
"Still in the blooming lagoon."
"Oh, yes, I remember now." Harry sighed comfortably and turned over.
"Oh, say, you fellows; turn out. You have had sleep enough and I am as lonely as a cow in a strange pasture. You've had all the fun; now the least you can do is to get up and tell me about it."
"Fun, eh?" said Bert, who had been awakened by the conversation. "I wish you had had my part of the enjoyment. More quiet amusement will do for me."
"I am as hungry as a bear," said Harry, jumping out of bed. "If you won't let us sleep we must eat. Have you had supper yet?"
"No; Cap said he was going to wait until you waked up."
"All right; if you'll get a bucket of water we'll be ready in short order. I've got to wash up. I'm as dirty as a digger Indian."
