noon
Then Jim remembered that none of his party had breakfasted , and he cooked the remainder of the provisions at once , when all hands joined in the meal . Harvey had already examined Jet 's wound , and pronounced it a trifling one , more painful than dangerous . The ball was extracted , the arm bandaged properly , and fastened in a sling , the detective saying , when the work was finished : `` You 'll come around all right in a week or two with care , and that I 'll guarantee you shall have in abundance . '' It was not yet noon when the party were ready to leave Round Pond . Harvey and the boys traveled in the boat Jet had hired , and the other craft , which was considerably larger , carried the two officers and their prisoners . Except at the carry , where all hands were forced to assist in transporting the boats , the journey was made in a leisurely fashion , and that night Jet slept in a comfortable bed at the Saranac Lake House . Jim disappeared as soon as the party arrived at the village .
