six o'clock
Dave had busied himself with opening two tins of meat . They had fresh meat , but the latter was to be used on the morrow when their housekeeping arrangements had been better made . For the present the meat and some other perishable articles of food rested on the ground outdoors , under an overturned box on which three large stones had been placed as weights . `` It 's six o'clock , '' called Dick at last . `` Are we going to eat on time ? '' `` I 'm all ready with the potatoes , '' Dan called back . Dick once more busied himself with making weak coffee .
