The Boatswain repeatedly requests that Gonzalo and the others return to their cabins.

When the sea is. Hence!

What cares these roarers for the name of king?

To cabin, silence! Trouble us not.

The Tempest

The boatswain repeatedly requested from gonzalo and other royal passengers that plz all of u go inside a cabin and don't do any type of interference in his work.

when gonzalo tells boatswain to remember to whom he hast aboard,then boatswain replying to it says 'None that i more love than myself'. He requests gonzalo , as if he was a counsellor, to command those elements to silence,and work the peace of the present,they will not hand a rope more. He tells Gonzalo to use his authority. If he cannot then Boatswain asks him to thank that he have lived so long. He tells Gonzalo to get ready in his cabbin for the mischance of the hour, if it so hap.
