I never thought of it before the captain mentioned it.

The captain hadn't mentioned the possibility because he wanted to hear the woman's story first.

"The captain never mentioned the eating schedule, so I assume around sunset."

Yet something had suggested itself to him in that fleeting moment when the captain had mentioned it.

The captain of another ship mentioned a figure of 7-8,000 passengers and crew in his report.

It was not possible; surely, the captain would have mentioned such a thing.

The captain of the caravan guard mentioned the Alan almost at once.

As it turned out, the captain never once mentioned it.

The captain never once mentioned the white van incident.

Just before shunting him from the bridge, the captain had mentioned sand.
