about
half past three
Then we had dinner . Anybody but pap would ` a ' waited and seen the day through , so as to catch more stuff ; but that war n't pap 's style . Nine logs was enough for one time ; he must shove right over to town and sell . So he locked me in and took the skiff , and started off towing the raft about half past three . I judged he would n't come back that night . I waited till I reckoned he had got a good start ; then I out with my saw , and went to work on that log again . Before he was t ` other side of the river I was out of the hole ; him and his raft was just a speck on the water away off yonder .
