Hello, young man! Have you got up?
gpt
Where am I?
human
Where are you? You're on the good ship _Columbia_, to be sure?
gpt
Are we out to sea?
human
Of course you are.
gpt
How far from land?
human
Well, about fifty miles, more or less, I should judge.
gpt
How long have I been here?
human
It seems to me you have a poor memory. You came on board last evening.
gpt
I suppose Curtis Waring brought me,
human
There was a gentleman came with you--so the mate told me. I don't know his name.
gpt
Where is the ship bound?
human
To San Francisco, around Cape Horn. I supposed you knew that.
gpt
I never heard of the ship _Columbia_ before, and I never had any idea of making a sea voyage.
human
I suppose your guardian arranged about that. Didn't he tell you?
gpt
I have no guardian.
human
Well, you'll have to ask Capt. Barnes about that. I know nothing, except that you are a passenger, and that your fare has been paid.
gpt
My fare paid to San Francisco?
human
Yes; we don't take any deadheads on the _Columbia_.
gpt
Can you tell me what time it is?
human
About twelve o'clock. Do you feel hungry?
gpt
N--not very,
human
I see how it is, he said;
gpt
What's that?
human
You're going to be seasick. You'll hardly be able to appear at the dinner table.
gpt
It makes me sick to think of eating,
