A midshipman would be of a higher rank than a butcher, as midshipmen were officers-in-training. Plus, the fellow midshipmen would be much more familiar with each other and therefore more likely to adress each other by their first name, whilst the other crew would have to use more formal adresses.

Plus, if it were O'Farrel who said that line, it would be included in the same dialogue line in the in-game dialogue log as the previous line, so even without distinguishing between the accents we know it must be someone else who says it.

Also, Peter Milroy is credited with having a voice actor, and I'm pretty sure this would be the only line he would say. If it weren't him who said this line, he would have no spoken dialogue in-game, and no credits.
