noon
The sailors had put on their thickest clothes . Carlsen did not appear during the morning , neither did the hunters . Nor the girl . At noon Carlsen came up to take his observation .

With Hansen on deck they all assembled at the table with the exception of the captain . Tamada served perfectly and silently .
