Sea Captain Flashcards
Are you a sea captain?
I am.
Are you going to port soon?
I am, tomorrow.
Whither are you bound?
To Ethiopia.
The very place we wish to go. Here are three of us. Can we get a passage with you?
You can. I shall be pleased with your company. You have King Solomon’s pass, I presume.
King Solomon’s pass? No, we came away in a hurry and on urgent business and must go. We did not suppose a pass would be necessary. We have plenty of money and will pay you any price you ask.
There is an embargo laid upon all the shipping and if you have not King Solomon’s pass you can not get a passage with me, neither can you from this port.
Well, I suppose we will have to go back and get a pass.
The sooner the better. You are suspicious looking characters.
