instantly, then, at a sign, it was pierced
and suppressed by shrill whistles of the boatswain Boatswain and
his Mates piping
down one watch.
To be prepared for burial
Claggart's body was delivered to
certain petty-officers of his mess. And
here, not to clog the sequel with

the execution , the Master-at-Arms
was committed to the sea with
every funeral honor properly
belonging to his naval grade.
