`` Then you 'll have to give them to Pud , for he was the only boy to land one . '' Jack then came over to the table and with grave ceremony , he handed the prunes to Pud . The latter did not want to take them but finally yielded . They had a very merry breakfast and Jack at last told them that he had gotten up about half past three and had hardly got out into the stream before he had a fine salmon on his line . He had a merry battle with the gamy fish but finally landed him and , hurrying back , he sneaked into camp without being seen . After breakfast , the various members of the party once more set out in quest of salmon , it being agreed that no one would catch more than two . When they reassembled at lunch , every one had at least one salmon .
