These are for the Portuguese Lieutenant,

An officer! What business has he on board?
gpt

I advised you not to run into a Portuguese port; but you would be guided by your headstrong Captain.

human
Come, Mr Hume.
gpt

human
You have some scheme,

I have, or, rather, the Captain--
human
Ah, that is better,
gpt
Say no more, Mr Hume; I have faith in the resources and courage of my officers.
