Midshipman Blakeney
Excuse me, Sir?
Capt. Jack Aubrey
Remove your hat, Blakeney. We're whalers here.
Capt. Jack Aubrey
Yes, yes.
Midshipman Blakeney
Mr. Calamy says I'm not in the boarding party, I want to say...
Capt. Jack Aubrey
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.
