twelve o'clock
An almost imperceptible fine dry snow appeared , but it was not enough to interfere with the conduct of the machine . When a landing was finally made at the old place in the bend of the river , although the day was dreary enough , only the chill atmosphere and a few traces of snow gave premonition of possible storm . This time Norman made the visit across the river and he was not gone much over an hour and a half . To facilitate the delivery of his stores , which were considerable , he pressed a horse and wagon into service and a little after twelve o'clock Roy was glad to see his companion reappear in the delivery wagon . The spitting snow had begun again . No time was lost in luncheon this day , but the fresh meat , eggs and butter and a few fresh vegetables were quickly stored in the rear of the cockpit . There were no telegrams this time , but a larger quantity of mail with considerable for the boys , some of which Norman had examined .
