seven o'clock
The rest of Margaret 's watch , which I shared with her , was undisturbed . At four I insisted that she go below and turn in , but she compromised by taking my own bed behind the skylight . At break of day I was able to make out the body , still lying as last I had seen it . At seven o'clock , before breakfast , and while Margaret still slept , I sent the two boys , Henry and Buckwheat , down to the body . I stood above them , at the rail , rifle in hand and ready . But from for ` ard came no signs of life ; and the lads , between them , rolled the crank-eyed Norwegian over so that we could recognize him , carried him to the rail , and shoved him stiffly across and into the sea . Wada 's spear - thrust had gone clear through him .
