Read the passage from Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs.

I should not have cared for this, if we had been out of sight of the town; but until there were miles of water between us and our enemies, we were filled with constant apprehension that the constables would come on board. Neither could I feel quite at ease with the captain and his men. I was an entire stranger to that class of people, and I had heard that sailors were rough, and sometimes cruel. We were so completely in their power, that if they were bad men, our situation would be dreadful.

What is the narrator’s attitude regarding the captain and sailors?

The men might not be trustworthy.
The men are unskilled at their jobs.
The men are unfriendly to strangers.
The men might be unwilling to help.

Not for sure but i think the sailors were unfriendly to strangers because the sentence “I was an entire stranger to that class of people i heard they were rough and sometimes cruel we were so completely in their power that if they were bad men our situation would be dreadful”

I have no idea dont second think yourself.
