A Moment
- So this is going to be weird.
- Remember when Ira (or Captain Davis now) hired Manjiro to be a steward on the ship and told him it could be his chance to go back home to Japan?
- Yeah… let's just say that Captain Davis can't remember what he promised Manjiro.
- Manjiro wants to take the whaleboat and some crew members out to sail after the Japanese boats, but Captain Davis won't have it.
- He doesn't want to lose a boat and crew members to some random side trip for Manjiro "to China."
- Not only that—he threatens to punish Manjiro if he tries to leave the ship again.
- (Yeah, we're wondering if this Captain Davis character is the same guy as Manjiro's old friend Ira.)
