Barry and Albert stood on the side of the "Oriental" deck staircase.
One by one, the small wooden boats were being lowered from here.
On board sat the guests of the "Oriental".
"Dear guests, the 'Oriental's' dinner will begin promptly at eight o'clock, and if possible, please return to the 'Oriental' before eight.
Of course, if you come back late, we will save some food for you.
Furthermore, as the first mate of the 'Oriental', I assure all guests that the sailors of the 'Oriental' are on the docks of Xilongde. If you find yourself in trouble, please inform the sailors, and we will help you solve any issues within our responsibilities."
As the first mate of the 'Oriental', Albert was reminding every guest boarding the shore boats.
And each guest responded with a smile.
These guests had no reason to doubt Albert's words.
Because they had seen the sailors with their own eyes.
Each of them looked very reliable.
Although the chief sailor seemed a bit lazy.
"Well done.
