Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
two or three days and nights went by; i reckon i might say they swum by, they slid along so quiet and
smooth and lovely. here is the way we put in the time. it was a monstrous big river down there--sometimes a
mile and a half wide; we run nights, and laid up and hid daytimes; soon as night was most gone we stopped
navigating and tied up--nearly always in the dead water under a towhead; and then cut young cottonwoods
and willows, and hid the raft with them. then we set out the lines. next we slid into the river and had a swim,
so as to freshen up and cool off; then we set down on the sandy bottom where the water was about knee
deep, and watched the daylight come. not a sound anywheres--perfectly still --just like the whole world was
asleep, only sometimes the bullfrogs a-cluttering, maybe. (p. 114)
