ten o'clock
One morning Bunster got up in a mood for knocking seven bells out of the universe . He began on Mauki , and wound up on Mauki , in the interval knocking down his wife and hammering all the boat boys . At breakfast he called the coffee slops and threw the scalding contents of the cup into Mauki 's face . By ten o'clock Bunster was shivering with ague , and half an hour later he was burning with fever . It was no ordinary attack . It quickly became pernicious , and developed into black-water fever . The days passed , and he grew weaker and weaker , never leaving his bed .
