Two o'clock
`` It 's a bit chilly . '' `` What time is it ? '' asked Dick , as the cowboy stirred up the embers and set the blackened coffee pot on over some stones that had been made into a rude fireplace . `` Two o'clock , '' announced Four Eyes , with a glance at his watch . The boy ranchers watched him idly as he made and drank the coffee , munching some hard crackers he carried in one of his pockets . Then , rolling up in their blankets , the quartette went to sleep . Morning came , in due course , without any untoward incidents having occurred .
