haven’t broken out yet and stolen the boat?” Bernard
questioned timidly.

final statement with no replies afterward. “I’ve been
puttin’ my plan in action since I got onto this wretched
ship. I’ve been gaining the trust of the captain until I’m a
high-ranked member of the crew, then I’ll stab him in the
back and steal the ship. It’s an old trick I learned on my
most recent voyage on the Dirty Oar.”
