Eight o'clock
All the same Jack was glad to see that it was broad daylight when he awoke . He found , just as he might have expected , Jimmie at work getting breakfast . Indeed , it may have been the delightful aroma of coffee and bacon that helped awaken him , for the interior of the tent was fragrant with the combination . Eight o'clock came , and they started from the creek , passing the city shortly afterward . If their visitors of the preceding night saw them come out they were sensible enough not to disclose their identity ; though Jimmie did declare he saw two men who might be tramps watching them from behind the trees below the mouth of the friendly creek . There were numerous boats upon the river , but although Jack used his glasses to advantage he could pick up no clue to either the _ Wireless _ or the _ Comfort _ . The day was nice and clear after the fog and rain .
