Panama, I’m almost as lost as you. But I think the crusty old sailor is Boy’s subconcious…the light-filled aperture the doorway to his concious. He shouts out what Boy is supposed to think, and Boy looks stunned by his own hostile reaction. I guess Girl’s lollypop is evidence of her “winner” status.
By the way, while hardtack was long known as a maritime ration, especially on board ships too small to carry a cook and galley, pemmican’s usual use was on land, especially in the arctic. Hardtack is still sold for use as survival food by Alaskan bush pilots.
Yes, Bush pilots, so called because they fly out into the wilderness, or “bush” Alaska. They may also live out there, but many live in larger towns and fly passengers out there as a business. As MaggieL says, modern hard tack, or “pilot bread” as it’s known locally, is still available in Alaskan groceries, and quite popular in rural areas where modern food storage (along with running water and electricity) is unreliable or unavailable.

@ MaggieL: “But I think the crusty old sailor is Boy’s subconcious…”
I think he is supposed to be the captain of boy’s soul.
