Reading Notes
- "Jack had little head for navigation. After all, trains ran on rails." --> I feel like there was a comment last chapter about Jack navigating by the stars?
- Between Jack telling Ellis to load the bucket and him loading the vents, I don't think Jack gets the bucket back.
- This is a distance thing. How low down are they - and how long is the rope - that Purva can grab ahold? I'm sure you have it laid out in your head, but it isn't translating into mine.
- "He didn't even know a revolver had been brought on board. First buckets, now guns..." --> Jack knew the bucket had been brought on board.
-- "and its protectorates," he retorted." --> Last male character referenced was Jack, thus the He is Jack and not Ellis.
- ...What has Ellis been calling Clare, if not Clare? He's really been calling her Ms Fields this whole time? Things that have not registered.
- "well, a more profane version of her own thoughts," --> haha.
- "Oh, Jack," Clare sighed, standing below him. "I thought you, at least, were a grownup." --> Sounds like Clare is talking to Ellis.

End
- Even with the pirate attack, there is a sense of serenity that belies the 'hurry up and wait' atmosphere of the ship.

Meta
- Good point about Jack's creation.
- Something about Created food and theatre props just stuck in my head.
