Explore "The Cruise of the Violetta" by Arthur Willis Colton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
MY family at midnight lay asleep in their staterooms. The Indian moon shone on the _Violetta_, which lay lifting slowly with the swell. The watchman sat forward. Ram Nad, with his chief garment wrapped about his head, was stretched on a rug on the lee side and just above the portholes of the stateroom occupied by Susannah.
I was awakened by Mrs. Ulswater's suddenly pulling my arm. It was near three o'clock in the morning.
