two o'clock
The full moon was rising at nine o'clock , and Philip rested for two hours , cooking and eating his supper , and then resumed his journey , determined to make sufficient progress before camping to enable him to reach the post by the following noon . It was midnight when he put up his light tent , built a fire , and went to sleep . He was up again at dawn . At two o'clock he came into the clearing about Lac Bain . As he hurried to Breed 's quarters he wondered if Colonel Becker or Isobel had seen him from their window . He had noticed that the curtain was up , and that a thin spiral of smoke was rising from the clay chimney that descended to the fireplace in their room . He found Breed , the factor , poring over one of the ledgers which he and Colonel Becker had examined .
