Flintheart mutters unpronounceably under his breath (in Latin), and then, in a bark, orders 'no stopping'. Some of the others in the boat mutter too, in Anglo-Saxon — about 'bleedin' murder', 'pitiless bastards" and even about 'Captains wot oughter go down with their ships', but all are accustomed to obeying. Until that is, one of the sailors in the water struggles up to the side of the boat, revealing himself to be Tom, the young cabin boy, who manages to get two frozen hands onto the ship's gunnels (whatever they are), and with a last desperate, heroic effort begins to haul himself in, tipping the boat alarmingly as he does so. 'Knoek him back in!' shouts Flintheart, from the rear of the boat, to Bert, the cook, who is nearest. Should Bert obey?

Step-by-step explanation

Resolve the problem in the most ethical way. Guide questions 

1. Define the issue.

Should Bert, the cook obey, the order of Flintheart to kick back in the young cabin boy who is struggling to haul himself in the boat tipping the boat alarmingly. 
2. Identify the stakeholders

Flintheart, the cabin boy, Tom and Bert., the cook.

3. Identify a range of reasonable options.

        Bert obeys Flintheart to throw Tom out of the boat so there would be no problem at all. 

        Bert failure to do the task ordered to him by Flintheart might cause the boat to tip since the boy was exerting effort to haul inside. That will cause many problems.

        Bert will help the boy, Tom haul himself in the boat. 

4. Clarify the able principle and determine at least 3 possible options to prioritize

          In this situation, understanding the end goal, the result, and considering the welfare of the stakeholders are put into priority. 

5. Recommendation

        The boy, Tom, would not cause any harm to all the stakeholders if he will be successful in hauling himself in the boat. He needs to survive. Flintheart and Ber are in the boat too, they were thinking of their safety too. But if the three compromises, they will help one another, then there would be no issue. If Tom will be able to survive, he can also b a big help for the boat to survive.
