noon
They did a full day 's work and then took their leave . They called at his cabin and gave him good-bye , but were not able to tell him their day 's effort had given things a mere promising look . The next day Philip sold all the tools but two or three sets ; he also sold one of the now deserted cabins as old , lumber , together with its domestic wares ; and made up his mind that he would buy , provisions with the trifle of money thus gained and continue his work alone . About the middle of the after noon he put on his roughest clothes and went to the tunnel . He lit a candle and groped his way in . Presently he heard the sound of a pick or a drill , and wondered , what it meant . A spark of light now appeared in the far end of the tunnel , and when he arrived there he found the man Tim at work .
