Where's that swimming party of ours?
gpt
Now, there's a question you might well ask, sir, said the second officer.
human
Where aren't they? Seems to me they've been all over the harbor, sir, as far as I can make out. Never saw anything like it.
gpt
Is there any boat following them?
human
Boat, sir? The second officer laughed.
gpt
I don't know what they'd be doing with a boat. The last time I saw them they looked as if they were fit to swim to Europe. And the young lady, sir!
human
What about the young lady?
gpt
A fish, sir; a fish, if ever one lived. First off they did a lot of playing around the yacht, sir. Climbing aboard and diving off again. I give you my word, sir, the whole crew was on deck watching. The young lady--well, she's a little thing, but she's nicely set up, sir. She'd think nothing of making a back dive off the end of the bridge. And the young gentleman was no ways behind her, sir. You'd think there was a couple of porpoises in the harbor.

I've seen swimmers in my time, but never the beat of that pair, unless it was professionals,

Look, now! There they go.
