"He wanted the boat, did he not ?" said Henry.
"Yes," replied the lieutenant, "but you can sleep in it to-night.

I warn you, however, to see Bernardo Galvez in the morning as soon as you can.

He gave them a friendly good night and went away.

The five went on board "The Galleon" and prepared for sleep, having dismissed their watchman with ample pay.
As the boat was securely tied there was no need to keep a watch and all prepared for the night.
