The Whales of the Sea - The Captain's Message to the Captain of the Whale Ship

The guernsey man, under cover of an interpreter's office, was to tell the captain what he pleased. As for stubb, he was to utter any nonsense that should come uppermost in him during the interview. By this time, their destined victim appeared from his cabin. He wore a red cotton velvet vest with watch seals at his side. To this gentleman, stubb was now politely introduced by the gurnsey man who at once ostentatiously put on the aspect of interpreting between them.
