Use the paragraph to answer the question.
Jacques reached the front of the line, where a midshipman was signing on men. He asked each man only a few questions, turning none of his prospects away. Apparently, the Orion was in need of hands—in a hurry. Jacques briefly answered a question about his work skills, and the midshipman nodded his approval. Jacques could join the crew of the Orion. "Sign your name or your mark here," the midshipman said, pointing to a spot in a record book.
