three o'clock
We brought the horses down from the ranch in the evening , blanketed them , and stood them out of the wind among some trees . `` Four o'clock must see us rolling out of our comfortable beds and getting ready to start , '' said Jack , as we turned in . `` We must play we are freighters . '' Jack planned better than he knew ; we really `` rolled out '' in an exceedingly lively manner at three o'clock . We were sleeping soundly at that hour , when we were awakened by the motion of the wagon . Jack and I sat up . It was swaying from side to side , and we could hear the wheels bumping on the stones .
