five o'clock
The cook I counted out , ordering him to go to the galley and prepare breakfast . The eight that were left I divided into two watches , Burns taking one and I the other . On Burns 's watch were Clarke , McNamara , and Williams ; on mine , Oleson , Adams , and Charlie Jones . It was two bells , or five o'clock . Burns struck the gong sharply as an indication that order , of a sort , had been restored . The rising sun was gleaming on the sails ; the gray surface of the sea was ruffling under the morning breeze . From the galley a thin stream of smoke was rising .
