Instantly , all hands were turned up , the bow guns run out and loaded , the ensign and broad pennant set , the yards squared by lifts and braces , and everything got ready to make a good appearance . I felt all this , and saw the necessity of being determined . Reduced , too , to her top-masts , she had altogether a most forlorn and crippled appearance . I spent an evening on board , and found them making the best of the matter , and determined to rough it out as they might ; but my friend S - - - was determined to go home in the ship , if money or interest could bring it to pass . At midnight , the tide having turned , we hove up our anchor and stood out of the bay , with a fine starry heaven above us , - the first we had seen for weeks and weeks . Several times , in the course of the night , I got up , determined to go on deck ; but the silence which showed that there was nothing doing , and the knowledge that I might make myself seriously ill , for nothing , kept me back . The women bring a great number of these secretly about them , and the amusement is to break one upon the head of a gentleman when his back is turned . He spent his own money and nearly all the stores among the half-bloods upon the beach , and being turned away , went up to the Presidio , where he lived the life of a desperate " loafer , " until some rascally deed sent him off " between two days , " with men on horseback , dogs , and Indians in full cry after him , among the hills . This was not so much expressly allowed , as winked at . They had just got to sleep toward morning , when they were turned up with the rest , and kept at work all day in the water , carrying hides , their heads aching so that they could hardly stand . I had determined not to go myself , happen what would , and I knew that the captain would not dare to attempt to force me . Just as she stepped from the church door , a small white cloud issued from the bows of our ship , which was full in sight , the loud report echoed among the surrounding hills and over the bay , and instantly the ship was dressed in flags and pennants from stem to stern . I got my oil-cloth clothes , south-wester , and thick boots all ready , and turned into my hammock early , determined to get some sleep in advance , as the boat was to be alongside before daybreak .
