noon
`` Well , the next business in order is to get away , for I have no fancy for being taken to the South , since the Confederates have no provisions for their own men , and as prisoners we would starve with them , '' said Deck . `` I have n't had my supper yet , and I feel a little faint . I have enough to eat in my haversack . '' `` So have I ; for we were so busy at noon , that I did not have time to eat much dinner , though it was served as usual . I think we had better go to supper now , and then we will look about us . '' Both of them began to eat from their haversacks , and they made a hearty meal of it . The lieutenant declared that he felt all right then , and his head did not ache half so bad as it had when he first came to himself .
