About
noon
Again they went to bed , and just before one o'clock in the morning Mr. Shedden , in his delirium , got out of his bed , and , rushing on the deck , jumped overboard before any one could prevent him ; and old Etau , who never left where she sat , was heard to say , ' _ One _ ! ' and the bell was struck _ one _ by the seaman forward , who did not know what had happened . Morning came on again and there were but two sharks to be seen . About noon the other white man died and he was thrown overboard ; and as one shark seized his body and swam away , old Etau cried out , ' _ Two ! _ ' An hour afterward the negro died , and was thrown overboard and carried away by the third shark , and old Etau cried out , ' _ Three ! _ the price is paid ! ' `` Well , every one crowded around the old woman to hear what she would say , and they asked her if all was over , and whether they should have any wind ?
