You are to remember your parole, sir, and not hail that steamer.
gpt
Steamer ahoy! shouted Forsythe, through a small megaphone.
human
You are laden with oil, as you said by signal. We would like to replenish our supply, which is almost exhausted.
gpt
Yes, sir, answered the skipper;
human
To the superintendent of the Charlestown Navy Yard. It will very likely be paid to your owners before you get back. We want as much as a hundred tons. I have made out a receipt for that amount. Throw us a heaving line to take our hose, and I will send it up on the bight.
gpt
Very well, sir. Anything else I can do for you, sir?
human
Yes; we want about two hundred gallons of water. Been out a long time.
gpt
Certainly, sir--very glad to accommodate you. Been after that runaway torpedo boat?
human
Yes; any news of her on shore? Our wireless is out of order.
gpt
Well, the opinion is that she was lost in the big blow a few days ago. She was reported well to the nor'ard; and it was a St. Lawrence Valley storm. Did you get any of it?
human
Very little, answered Forsythe.
gpt
We were well to the s'uth'ard.
human
A slight stumble in good diction there, Mr. Forsythe, muttered the listening Denman.
gpt
Otherwise, very well carried out.
