about
midnight
As they sat around the camp-fire they talked matters over and decided to break camp the very next day . They had had about all the hunting they wished for the present , and getting the two bears `` topped matters off , '' as Snap put it . The bears were loaded into the boat and anchored out in the lake , and then the boys got supper and went to bed . Snap was soon asleep and so were Giant and Shep , and all slept soundly until about midnight , when the leader of the club awoke a start . `` Hullo ! what 's up now ? '' he called out , and this cry aroused Shep and Giant .
