About one o'clock
The boys soon joined Randy , and finding him in a decidedly bad temper , they made as little allusion as possible to what had occurred . It was evident from the way he shrugged his shoulders that the blows of the fishing pole had left a good deal of a sting . Not knowing what might be expected of Judge Gibson , the boys concluded to be on the safe side , and as soon as Randy had changed his clothes they paddled away from the vicinity . About one o'clock a halt was made for lunch , and as the air was disagreeably damp and cutting , Ned boiled a pot of coffee . The cruise was resumed an hour later , and during the afternoon a close watch was kept for suitable camping places . The indications all presaged bad weather , and there was no doubt that rain would set in by morning -- if not sooner . About four o'clock a camping ground was discovered that met with general approval -- a sheltered spot amid great pine trees on the right bank .
