How much water?
gpt
Three feet, sir--I just sounded, came the answer.
human
I think, sir, it would be advisable to part-load the boat; then, right after the next time the whale hits us, lower away on the run, chuck the rest of the dunnage in, and ourselves, and get clear.
gpt
It will be lively work, he said.
human
Stand ready, all of you. Steward, you jump aboard first and I'll pass the chronometer to you.
gpt
There's too many for the boat, he said,
human
The boat would be overloaded, with all this truck, anyway. Go ahead, if you want to make it your party, but just bear in mind that I'm the navigator, and that, if you ever want to lay eyes on your string of pawnshops, you'd better see that gentle care is taken of me.--Steward!
gpt
There won't be room for you . . . and for one or two others, I'm sorry to say.
human
Glory be! said Daughtry.
gpt
I was just fearin' you'd be wantin' me along, sir.--Kwaque, you take 'm my fella dunnage belong me, put 'm in other fella boat along other side.
