" Dave" he was called, and he ate and slept, or yawned between times, and took interest in nothing, not even when the Narwhal crossed Queen Charlotte Sound and rolled and pitched and bucked like a thing possessed.

他名叫戴夫，只有吃和睡，不吃不睡的时候则打哈欠。能让他提起兴致的事几乎没有。在夏洛特皇后海峡，浪打得“纳瓦尔”轮发狂似地前冲后突、左右摇摆、上下颠簸，可是他丝毫无动容。
