gpt
Captain Kendall, I desire a boat immediately,
human
A boat!
gpt
I said a boat, Captain Kendall. I purpose to refer the matter of your disobedience to Mr. Lowington without any unnecessary delay.
human
But, Mr. Hamblin, there is a squall coming up.
gpt
I am aware of that; but I demand the boat.
human
It would be dangerous, sir. The boat would certainly be swamped.
gpt
I will take the responsibility of that.
human
I should be very happy to furnish the boat, sir; but I cannot expose a crew to such a storm as will soon break upon us,
gpt
You refuse--do you?
human
I feel compelled to do so, sir.
gpt
In my hearing, Mr. Lowington instructed you to furnish the professors with a boat at any time when they desired it.
human
I will furnish the boat, sir; but I will not expose the crew to such peril. I will hoist out the third cutter for you, sir, if you wish.
gpt
I demand a sufficient number of sailors to row the boat.
human
You will pardon me, sir; but I will not send any seamen into a boat until the squall is over. It is unreasonable to ask such a thing.
gpt
Unreasonable, sir! How dare you tell me I am unreasonable?
