two hours after
midnight
As the _ Coquette _ shot away from the boys ' swimming float , the ghostly sail of the strange bateau again crossed the path of moonlight at the other end of the island . `` I 'd feel better , '' muttered Polly , `` if those , fellows were not hanging about so close . '' Wyn got into her canoe in sight of Green Knoll Camp , and leaving Polly to work the _ Coquette _ home alone , paddled to the shore , drew out the canoe and turned it over on the beach with the six other canoes belonging to the camp , and so stole up the hill and prepared for bed again . Nobody seemed to have missed her , although it was now two hours after midnight . The captain of the girls ' club felt a glow of satisfaction at her heart as she composed herself for sleep . She believed she was going to have a great and happy surprise for the girls of the Go-Ahead Club ; and in addition the Jarleys would be relieved of the cloud of suspicion that had hung over Mr. Jarley ever since Dr. Shelton 's motor boat was lost . Wyn slept so late that all the other girls were up and had run down for their morning dip ere Mrs. Havel shook her .
