midnight
A slight breeze had sprung up and Jack Broxton had nursed the yacht along with all of the skill at his command . The coming of the old sailor ended the battle , so far as the bad boys from Rockpoint were concerned . Both Si Peters and Wash Crosby were hauled on board , and here they were tightly bound , to prevent their making further trouble . It was after midnight when Lakeview was reached and the prisoners were handed over to the local police . Then Harry and Jerry separated , to go home and tell of their fresh adventures . The following morning Si Peters and Wash Crosby were taken to Rockpoint and an examination was held . The bad boys confessed robbing the hotel and the larger part of the money taken was recovered , as was also Harry 's gold watch , which Si Peters had been bold enough to wear .
