1Narrow stairs. Tight, dark, and cramped. [...] Here are the crew's quarters. Too many people, too close together, packed like eels into a tin, and you're just another. Squeeze through. Wriggle. The Second Sacristan's cabin is ahead [...]You're on the Delight's waist deck.
2You smell the hold before you enter it. An eye-blistering stench [...]. Not to mention the sweltering heat, and the squawks and the shrieks [...] Liquid from the oozing wood has pooled deep in the ship [...]. Feathers float everywhere.You're in the Delight's hold.
