midday
At the sight of the smoke Mr. Weston came running from the mill , and with his assistance the bees were speedily disposed of . The old stump proved well filled with honey . `` I have a bucket in my canoe , '' said Paul , and it was decided to fill the bucket and take home all it would hold , and to return the next day in Paul 's canoe with tubs for the rest of the honey . Paul insisted that Mr. Weston should accept one of his fine salmon to broil for their midday meal , and then Rebby exclaimed : `` Where is Danna ? She went to the mill after wood before we found the honey-tree , and she is n't back yet . '' `` Oh ! She is probably playing that she is an explorer on a journey to the South Seas , '' laughed Mr. Weston .
