half past three
`` Pretty soft , pretty soft , I call it , '' he would say to the Captain , and the Captain would laugh and reply he was willing to change places . The Captain 's return to the ranks of the `` huskies '' was celebrated with a program of water sports and a great clam-bake on the beach . Of course , the Winnebagos got up a pageant , which on this occasion was a canoe procession , each canoe representing one of the seven points of the Camp Fire Law . `` Seek Beauty '' held a fairy creature dressed in white and garlanded with flowers ; `` Give Service '' was the big war canoe , which went on ahead and towed all the others but one ; `` Pursue Knowledge '' held a maiden who scanned the heavens with a telescope ; `` Be Trustworthy '' held up a bag conspicuously labeled CAMP FUNDS ; `` Hold on to Health '' was Katherine holding up a huge paper clock dial , its painted hands pointing to half past three A. M. with the slogan `` Early to bed and early to rise make a crew healthy , wealthy and wise . '' `` Glorify Work '' paddled its own canoe , scorning to be towed by `` Give Service , '' and `` Be Happy '' came along singing such rollicking songs and shouting so with laughter that they set the audience into a roar . After the pageant came fancy drills in the war canoe . The crew were in fine practice by this time and the paddles rose , dipped , cross rested , clicked and water wheeled all as one in obedience to the commands shouted by Uncle Teddy .
