Answer 1

Answer:

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still; My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; The dead captain, unsurprisingly, doesn't respond to the sailor's cries. With another synecdoche, the speaker focuses on the captain's lips to represent his general state of death.
