Ah, yes, again.The correct response on an episode of Jeopardy!:
What is Peter Pan?The category: Disney Movie by Character
And they gave the clue:Technically they're wrong. In the Disney movie, Smee is never actually referred to as "first mate." However it does say that in Disney storybooks of Peter Pan.
In Barrie, Smee is the bo'sun [boatswain (a synonym) in the play], not the first mate. In fact, there is no mention of a first mate other than: Nibs and John were first and second mate. And that's not even the crew of the Jolly Roger. And he's never "Mr. Smee" - just Smee.

I'm pretty sure Gentleman Starkey was the first mate of the Jolly Roger....
I had read that on the internet. Using the power of the 'Magic Box' and "find" I discovered to my surprise that there is no mention of first mate.
Where exactly did you look, in the play or the novel or both?
In the play and the novel. Usually the screenplay, too. I didn't this time, too. Will now. :)
Nope. The word 'mate' doesn't even appear outside of that configuration of letters in 'maternal.' ;)
Well, that's perplexing. I was SURE I had read that, and in some official source.... Now I'm wondering where I DID read it....
