10 o'clock
Gabby Pete would be up and busy at his early morning tasks , and the oil drillers housed in the bunkhouse also would be stirring about . Therefore , after barring the door , a precaution Bob also had taken in the room shared with his father , he turned in without awaking Jack . Worn out by their trip of the day before with its attack and the excitement of the night , all slept soundly , and Gabby Pete did not get them up . It was almost 10 o'clock when Jack awoke . He called the others , and soon all were dressed and ready for what the day would bring forth . Jack was the first dressed . He found Gabby Pete in the kitchen , peeling potatoes , and asked if they could have breakfast .
