noon
At daybreak the next morning they arose and breakfasted , and resumed their journey . Lyon Berners again consulted his map of the State and his pocket compass , and laid out his road . It lay for all that day up and down , in and out , among the wildest passes of the Allegheny Mountains . At noon they stopped for an hour , to rest and refresh themselves and their horses , and then again went forward . At night they reached another hamlet at the foot of the mountain range . They put up at this hamlet , which was called Dunville , and which boasted one tavern kept by an old Revolutionary pensioner called Purley . Here also Lyon Berners gave his name as Howe , and here again he and his wife were destined to be told all about the murder .
