noon
To the appeals of the squad to come and be arrested , Jimmy paid not the slightest heed . He puffed periodically on his `` meerschaum '' pipe , and directed the sluicing . Through the twenty-foot gate about a million feet an hour passed . Thus it happened that a little after noon Jimmy came peaceably ashore and gave himself up . `` You wo n't have no more trouble below , '' he observed to McGann , his lieutenant , watching reflectively the last logs shoot through the gate . `` Just tie right into her and keep her hustling . '' Then he refilled his pipe , lit it , and approached the expectant squad .
