POND [distance]
Ahoy, there! What's wanted?
HALE
I wish to come aboard, sir, with your permission.
POND
Hello, there, your voice sounds familiar. You don't by any chance happen to be Captain Hale?
HALE
Yes, indeed. I'm Captain Hale. But you have the advantage of me, sir—
POND
Come aboard, come aboard, Captain. Don't you remember Lieutenant Pond? I was in your regiment at the siege of Boston.
