three o'clock
After the old hunter had departed with the deer , the boys set to work in earnest to fix up their camp once more . Some of the things had been spoiled by the heavy storm , but Ham Spink had `` made good , '' as Snap said , so nothing was really lost , so far as the young hunters were concerned . After several days of rest the boys felt once more in proper trim for sport , and went out after a bunch of rabbits and squirrels . They were fairly lucky , and three o'clock of the afternoon found them on the return to the camp . `` Let us look for some nuts , '' suggested Whopper . The others were willing , and made their way to a group of trees growing some distance up the lake shore . Nuts were to be had in plenty , and soon they had their pockets and the corners of their game-bags well filled .
