Sometimes , - generally towards noons , - it fell calm ; once or twice a round copper ball showed itself for a few moments in the place where the sun ought to have been ; and a puff or two came from the westward , giving some hope that a fair wind had come at last . Toward daybreak the gale abated a little , and she was just beginning to go more easily along , relieved of the pressure , when Mr. Brown , determined to give her no respite , and depending upon the wind 's subsiding as the sun rose , told us to get along the lower studding-sail . Thick stockings and drawers were darned and patched ; mittens dragged from the bottom of the chest and mended ; comforters made for the neck and ears ; old flannel shirts cut up to line monkey jackets ; southwesters lined with flannel , and a pot of paint smuggled forward to give them a coat on the outside ; and everything turned to hand ; so that , although two years had left us but a scanty wardrobe , yet the economy and invention which necessity teaches a sailor , soon put each of us in pretty good trim for bad weather , even before we had seen the last of the fine . Each one was taking his last look at the mission , the town , the breakers on the beach , and swearing that no money would make him ship to see them again ; and when all hands tallied on to the cat-fall , the chorus of " Time for us to go ! With us , the chorus seemed almost to raise the decks of the ship , and might be heard at a great distance , ashore . The burden is usually sung , by one alone , and , at the chorus , all hands join in , - and the louder the noise , the better . At daybreak it fell a dead calm , and with the sun , the fog cleared a little , and a breeze sprung up from the westward , which soon grew into a gale . As far as the eye could reach , the sea in every direction was of a deep blue color , the waves running high and fresh , and sparkling in the light , and in the midst lay this immense mountain-island , its cavities and valleys thrown into deep shade , and its points and pinnacles glittering in the sun . " Each day the sun rose higher in the horizon , and the nights grew shorter ; and at coming on deck each morning , there was a sensible change in the temperature . The sailor 's songs for capstans and falls are of a peculiar kind , having a chorus at the end of each line . As the sun came up clear , with the promise of a fair , warm day , and , as usual on Sunday , there was no work going on , all hands turned-to upon clearing out the forecastle .
