Which is the _Susan_, Master Lirriper?
gpt
That's her lying out there with two others. She is the one lowest down the stream. We shall just fetch her comfortably.
human
How are you, Joe Chambers? Master Lirriper hailed the skipper as he appeared on the deck of the _Susan_.
gpt
I have brought you two more passengers for London. They are going there under my charge.
human
The more the merrier, Uncle John, the young skipper replied.
gpt

She is a roomy craft is the _Susan_; but she is pretty nigh all hold, and we are cramped a little in the fo'castle. Still we can sleep six, and that's just the number we shall have, for we carry a man and a boy besides myself. I think your flour will about fill her up, Master Lirriper. We have a pretty full cargo this time.
gpt
Well, we shall soon see, John Lirriper said.
human
Are you ready to take the flour on board at once? Because, if so, we will begin to discharge.
gpt
Yes, I am quite ready. You told me you were going to bring forty sacks, and I have left the middle part of the hold empty for them. Sam Hunter's bacon will stow in on the top of your sacks, and just fill her up to the beams there, as I reckon. I'll go below and stow them away as you hand them across.
human
It's a pity we haven't all the rest of the things on board, the skipper said,
