They are discussing the possibility that the warrior would not return, and it seems to them that the wolf-of-the-waves had won his life. The ninth hour came. The words used in the passage (tossing, turbid, blood-stained, weened, won his life, ninth hour) create a sense of uncertainty and uncertainty, which is a key component of suspense.
