When I woke it was daylight again.

A fire burnt on the hearth in the middle of the hall, and someone had spread a wolf-skin rug over me.

I had not moved from sunset to sunrise, and I was refreshed and broad awake at once, wondering at first where I was, and who had laughed and woke me.
There was a youth sitting on a table's edge by the wall over against where I lay, and a big broad-shouldered man leant on it with folded arms beside him, and at first I stared at them till my thoughts came back, and they laughed at me again, and then I knew Godwine and Relf the thane, who had but just come up from their ship to find me.
"On my word," said Godwine, "here is a man who could teach one how to sleep! We have sat here and talked about you for ten minutes or more." "Redwald sleeps as though he had lost time to make up," said Relf.
"Welcome back to us, anyway." "Aye--welcome you are," said Godwine warmly, "but how did you come here ?" I got up and took their hands, rejoicing to see them.

It was good to be among friends again after the long watching and many dangers.
Then came the steward followed by his men with a mighty breakfast, and as he set the tables on the high place, Godwine's men trooped in.

They had had to wait for the morning tide into the haven, and the ship was just berthed.
"Food first," Relf advised.
