noon
But the boatswain continued on his course , paying no attention to the ship . The squadron disappeared among the islands , and the steamer went out into the Baltic , keeping well in towards the shore . When any small schooner appeared , he ran up and examined her very carefully , overhauling three in this manner in the course of the forenoon . At noon the boatswain piped all hands to dinner , for he had procured a supply of provisions at the hotel . Though he had chartered the steamer with Ole acting as an interpreter , he gave no hint of his plans or purposes . He made signs to the helmsman where to go , and occasionally gave directions through Ole . The fourth small schooner that he examined proved to be the Rensdyr , and Peaks identified her by seeing Clyde Blacklock , who stood on the forecastle , looking out for the approaches to Stockholm .
