 What is the relationship between the priest and the captain, in terms of their jobs?
I "I don't see why we have to be here," a crewman said. The crewman to his left bent over and whispered, "I'll bet he's gonna tell us it's gonna be another postponement." The captain, in the officer's section, sat very straight and tall. While the priest stood before the speaker's rostrum waiting for silence, the captain reached back with great dignity and scratched his right shoulder blade. Nestir, the priest, was dressed out in the full ceremonial costume of office. And then, more loudly, "Men!" Then he blessed them and took out His knife and lay open their sores. 'Secrecy makes for a long life,' as it says in the Jarcon ." "And like the three wise Vergios who went to the Prophet, one of the crewmen came to me. "And then the captain said: 'All right, Father,' he said, 'I will set the day for the Festival of the Casting Off!'" You are thinking: 'What kind of a Festival can we have here on this ship?' You are thinking: 'What a fine thing—ah, what a good thing, that is—ah, how nice it would be to have the Casting Off at home, among friends.'" "The arena in Koltah is the greatest arena in the whole system. "Well, the point I want to make is this: I just wanted to tell you that I know what a Festival should be, and the captain and I will do everything in our power to make our Casting Off as wonderful as any anywhere. While they were still cheering and stomping and otherwise expressing their enthusiasm and approval, Nestir walked off the speaker's platform and into the officer's corridor. II Dinner that evening was a gala occasion aboard the ship. The steward ordered the holiday feast prepared in celebration of Nestir's announcement. He nodded curtly to the officers when he entered the mess hall, walked directly to his place at the head of the table, sat down and morosely began to work the cork out of his wine bottle with his teeth. The captain picked up the glass, brought it toward his lips—then, suddenly having thought of something, he put it back down and turned to Nestir. When the third mate saw that his opinion on the wine was not immediately to be justified, he settled back in his chair with a little sigh of disapproval.
