Not that I recall, though it doesn't mean he hasn't said it to someone else.
Hard to say whether we'll have a boat done in time for that. Just make sure you watch your Lantern. Ain't no tellin' what'll happen if'n you get it wet.
( he'd be concerned about him doin' it anyhow. which ain't necessarily to say it shouldn't be done — it'd be a source of valuable information, no doubt, even if that information ain't much. but he doesn't like the idea of one person goin' out alone. he ain't sure what'd happen if a boat capsized on him in the ferry's wake an' his lantern hit the water. it'd almost certainly go out, an' then what? be at the bottom of the damn lake with no way to retrieve it. sounds like death of a more certain sort to him. )
