00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.140
through this thing.

00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:02.500
I should think I

00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:03.200
might see that

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:03.900
vessel through it.

00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:05.400
I had hardly got it

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:06.220
to my eye when

00:00:06.220 --> 00:00:07.080
someone touched me

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:07.900
on the shoulder and

00:00:07.900 --> 00:00:08.200
said,

00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:09.480
deprecatingly,

00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:11.280
"'I'll have to get

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:12.340
you to give that to

00:00:12.340 --> 00:00:12.760
me, sir.

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:13.940
If there's anything

00:00:13.940 --> 00:00:14.760
you'd like to know

00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:15.520
about taking the

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:16.200
sun, I'd as soon

00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:17.040
tell you as not.

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:18.360
But I don't like to

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.260
trust anybody with

00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:19.820
that instrument.

00:00:20.260 --> 00:00:20.940
If you want any

00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:22.060
figuring done—'

00:00:22.380 --> 00:00:23.640
"'I, I, sir!' he

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:24.560
was gone to answer

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:25.260
a call from the

00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:25.760
other side.

00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:27.740
I sought the deck

00:00:27.740 --> 00:00:28.120
-sweep.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:29.940
Who is that spider

00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:30.760
-legged guerrilla

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:31.820
yonder with a

00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:32.520
sanctimonious

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:33.120
countenance?

00:00:33.620 --> 00:00:34.880
It's Captain Jones,

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:35.900
sir, the chief

00:00:35.900 --> 00:00:36.180
mate.

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:37.360
Well,

00:00:37.940 --> 00:00:38.820
this goes clear

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:39.460
away ahead of

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:40.140
anything I ever

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:40.800
heard of before.

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:43.000
Do you—now, I ask

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:43.980
you as a man and a

00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:44.940
brother—do you

00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:45.520
think I could

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:46.520
venture to throw a

00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:47.660
rock here in any

00:00:47.660 --> 00:00:48.380
given direction

00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:49.700
without hitting a

00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:50.500
captain of this

00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:50.820
ship?

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:52.820
Well, sir, I don't

00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:53.060
know.

00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:54.400
I think likely

00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:55.180
you'd fetch the

00:00:55.180 --> 00:00:55.780
captain of the

00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:56.460
watch, maybe,

00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:57.680
because he's a

00:00:57.680 --> 00:00:58.220
standing right

00:00:58.220 --> 00:00:59.060
yonder in the way.

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:00.740
I went below,

00:01:01.220 --> 00:01:02.240
meditating, and a

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:02.700
little down

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:03.180
hearted.

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:05.420
I thought, if five

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:05.980
cooks—
