},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "Nay, I won't say that, lad."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Then there is a way on?"
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "Kind of a sort of a way, sir. I don't think I could ha' got along if I'd tried ever so hard, 'cause the cargo's jammed up so close to the roof; but a small sort o' man might do it, or p'r'aps I might if old Frenchy keeps me here long enough to get precious thin."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "But a boy could get along?"
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "Oh yes, sir, I dessay a boy could; but don't you get thinking it's a regular pipe or a passage, 'cause it arn't. It's all in and out, and over chests and cases and things as don't fit together, or has got settled down; and you have to feel all this as you go, and trust to the tips of your fingers for leading of you right. It arn't as if there was any light, you see; 'cause their ain't enough to show a mouse the way to the inside of a Dutch cheese."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Then if any one got along there far enough, he would come to the forecastle bulk-head?"
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "Well, that I can't say, sir; 'cause, you see, he might find he had to creep along right under the forksle floor, and the men's bunks."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "If he got to the place where our friends are, that would not matter, I cried excitedly."
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "The distance must be very small."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "O' course, sir."
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "But one moment, Barney. Could any of the cargo be pushed out of the way, so as to make more room?"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "No, sir, for sartain, 'cause it's all wedged together, and there's nowhere else to put it so as to make room."
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "And I don't see, if one got there, that it could be a great deal of good, because they couldn't get here, and we couldn't all get there."
},
