Midshipman Blakeney Is it true about how they put the last stitch through your nose?
What do you mean?
Midshipman Blakeney Old Joe told me that when you die, they stitch you up in your hammock with the last stitch through your nose, just to make sure you're not asleep. Not through the nose, you'll tell them?
Well, Mr. Blakeney, it would appear that you have the makings of a naturalist.
Midshipman Blakeney Well, sir, perhaps I could combine them to be a sort of … fighting naturalist … like you, sir.
They don't combine too well, I find.
Midshipman Blakeney Excuse me, Sir?
Remove your hat, Blakeney. We're whalers here.
Midshipman Blakeney May I speak with you, Sir?
Yes, yes.
Midshipman Blakeney Mr. Calamy says I'm not in the boarding party, I want to say...
I know what you want to say. My answer is no. [Blakeney lowers his head in disappointment] You'll lead your gun crew and then when we board, you'll take command of the ship from here on the quarterdeck. Do I make myself clear?
Midshipman Blakeney Take command of the ship? Thank you, Sir.
