"Watch for what?" demanded Mrs. Noah, looking over the tops of her glasses at Xanthippe. "Why, surely you are going to have lookouts stationed on deck?" said Elizabeth. "Not at all," said Mrs. Noah. "Perfectly absurd. We never did it on the Ark, and it isn't necessary now. I want you all to go to bed at ten o'clock. I don't think the night air is good for you. Besides, it isn't proper for a woman to be out after dark, whether she's new or not." WHAT FOR WHAT DEMANDED MISSUS NOAH LOOKING OVER THE TOPS OF HER GLASSES AT SANTIPY WHY SURELY YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE LOOKOUT STATIONED ON DECK SAID ELIZABETH NOT AT ALL SAID MISSUS NOAH PERFECTLY ABSURD WE NEVER DID IT ON THE ARK AND IT ISN'T NECESSARY NOW I WANT YOU ALL TO GO TO BED TEN O'CLOCK I DON'T THINK THE NIGHT AIR IS GOOD FOR YOU BESIDES IT ISN'T PROPER FOR A WOMAN TO BE OUT AFTER DARK WHETHER SHE'S NEW OR NOT

The day passed, and by slow degrees the island and the marooned pirates faded from view, and the night came on, and with it a dense fog. “We’re going to have a nasty night, I am afraid,” said Xanthippe, looking anxiously out of the port. “No doubt,” said Mrs. Noah, pleasantly. “I’m sorry for those who have to be out in it.” “That’s what I was thinking about,” observed Xanthippe. “It’s going to be very hard on us keeping watch.” NCE HOW WE WENT IT WAS AS SAFE ONE WAY AS ANOTHER AND WE GOT JUST AS FAR AWAY IN THE END OUR MAIN OBJECT NOW IS TO GET AWAY FROM THE PIRATES AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING DON'T GET EMOTIONAL LIZZIE AND REMEMBER TOO THAT I AM IN CHARGE IF I THINK THE BOAT OUGHT TO GO SIDEWAYS SIDEWAYS SHE SHALL GO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT IT IS STILL NOT TOO LATE TO PUT YOU ASHORE THE THREAT CALMED ELIZABETH SOMEWHAT AND SHE WAS SATISFIED AND ALL WENT WELL WITH THEM EVEN IF PORCIA HAD STARTED THE PROPELLER REVOLVING REVERSE FASHION SO THAT THE HOUSEBOAT WAS AS ELIZABETH HAD SAID BACKING HER WAY THROUGH THE OCEAN THE DAY PASSED AND BY SLOW DEGREES THE ISLAND AND THE MAROONED PIRATES FADED FROM VIEW AND THE NIGHT CAME ON AND WITH IT A DENSE FOG WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A NASTY NIGHT I'M AFRAID SAID SAN PIPPY LOOKING ANXIOUSLY OUT OF THE PORT NO DOUBT SAID MISSUS NOAH PLEASANTLY I'M SORRY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TO BE OUT IN IT THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT OBSERVED ANTHA IT'S GOING TO BE VERY HARD ON US KEEPING WATCH
