THE DISAPPEARING CAPTAIN
Captain to Staff Captain: "At about 0900 tomorrow there will be an eclipse of the sun. Since this does not happen every day perhaps we should gather the crew together on deck in their best clothes to observe this phenomenon. If it is raining then of course we will not be able to see it and in that case we will have our meeting in the mess".
Staff Captain to 1st Officer: "By order of the Captain there will be an eclipse of the sun at 0900 tomorrow. If it is raining we will not be able to see it from the deck in our best clothes. In that case we will observe the disappearance of the sun from the mess. This does not happen every day".
1st Officer to 2nd Officer: "By order of the Captain we will watch in our best clothes how the sun disappears in the mess at 0900 tomorrow. The Captain will tell us if it is going to rain. This is something that does not happen every day".
2nd Officer to Bosun: "If it is raining in the mess tomorrow at 0900, which is something that does not happen every day, the Captain in his best clothes will disappear".
Bosun to crew: "Tomorrow morning at 0900 the Captain will disappear. It is a pity this does not happen every day".
