six in the morning
And now from the Navy side there broke out prolonged roars and shouts from fifteen thousand enthusiastic Navy friends , while over on the West Point side there was nothing but silent dismay . There was no more scoring , but all Annapolis was wild with delight ; for the first time in four years she had defeated West Point . But on the midshipman stand , surrounded by excited midshipmen in blue , there was one young man who did not participate in the general delight ; for with brooding face and troubled eyes Midshipman Henry Bligh sat silent . `` Bang , '' went the reveille gun at six in the morning , rattling every window in Bancroft Hall ; and out of bed jumped Robert Drake in a hurry . He first took his customary cold shower-bath , and then quickly threw on his clothes . `` Turn out , Stone , '' he called to his roommate , who was in his own sleeping room across the study . A suite for two midshipmen consists of two sleeping rooms separated by a longer room used in common by both , a large clothes closet , and a shower-bath .
