[...]

- I'm sorry, lad. I were only foolin'.

- How old were you when he died, then?

- Seven.

- I were eight when my father died at sea. First mate, he was.

- My father was a first mate too.

- Was he, now? By the powers. What a coincidence.

- Now, Jim, that be Polaris, the North Star. Even in the China Sea, that's north.

- North. Polaris.

- Uh-huh.

- So we must be heading southwest.

- Smart as paint you are, lad. Smart as paint.

- Now, that gets old Long John to wonderin'. Why would we be sailin' southwest?

- The scuttlebutt among the crew is that we're sailin' for buried treasure and someone on board has a map.

- 'Course, none of my concern, Jim. I'm just a ship's cook. Such matters are best suited to Captain Smollett. He runs this ship, not I.

- Come on, Long John. You could captain this ship.

- That I could, lad. Maybe someday I will.
