nine o'clock
After MacDougall had gone to stir up young Crow Feather he undressed and stretched out in his bunk , hoping that the Scotchman would soon return . Not until he closed his eyes did he realize how tired he was . MacDougall came in an hour later , and Philip was asleep . It was nine o'clock when he awoke . He went to the cook 's shanty , ate a hot breakfast of griddle-cakes and bacon , drank a pint of strong coffee , and hunted up MacDougall . Sandy was just coming from Thorpe 's house . `` He 's a queer guinea , that Thorpe , '' said the engineer , after their first greeting .
