Here she comes, boys.
Hey, Caleb, take over. I'm shoving.
Pat? Quick trip.
Just seems like it, you being so busy(!)Same story. Nobody for you.
I'm three men short. What about Blackburn?Navy got him. His mother's looking for work, though.
I'll laugh when you get me a man.
Well, if it isn't the boy Patrick! Hello, Dolan.Cup of tea?If you get it up on its feet.I will.
Had a good run?Better than good.
This war will probably make me a rich man.Don't take it out on me.
You've put four sons in the Service and I get rich. Where does that leave us?Without an argument.
I'd like an argument.All right, I'll tell you. Pretty soon you'll let this really get under your skin,
you'll put the Daniel in dry dock and join the Navy.You're wrong.
And the Navy will turn you down flat.
They'll say we need halibut a lot worse than they need helping.
Dolan, you sound like you've been reading my mail.More rum?
It'd be a shame to weaken this(!) My sentiments entirely.
Did you stop at the hiring hall? Yeah.Did they help you any?No.
They didn't say anything about a Dane? A man called Konrad? No.He's no fisherman,
but he's a seaman and speaks fair English.Where is he?
He'll be here. Sit down. He's at the courthouse. Had his ship knocked out from under him and lost his papers.
BELL RINGS
I'm looking for Captain Bannion.
I was told I might find him here. I might be able to locate him. What shall I say is wanted?
I'd like to book passage on his ship.The Daniel's a fisherman.
I was told he'd take me if I offered to pay enough.Unfortunately, the Daniel doesn't go anywhere.
Doesn't it sometimes put in at the villages on the Newfoundland coast?
Yeah, that's what I mean.
You're Captain Bannion, aren't you?
That's right.How much will you charge to take me to Tresbeau?
There are several hundred Nazi subs around. They'd like us for a target. I'm willing to take...
I'm sorry. I'd like to help you, but I can't take that responsibility.
You'd be Konrad. I'm Bannion. Mr Dolan tell me about you.
You a seaman?I am a Dane. It's the same thing.Did you get squared away?No, I need employer to sign.
Well, you got one. Let's go. Goodbye, Dolan, and thanks.
A little tea might help.
I think it would.
Oh, would you like it a bit up on its feet?
No, I don't think so.
All hands aboard, Caleb? Aye. And more.
We're shoving off. You have to go ashore.Why?
I have nowhere to put you.There's an empty bunk in the galley.
She got no such information from me.
Good old Dolan, huh? This going to Tresbeau must be a pretty big thing for you.
It is.Why? It's a barren stretch of rock with less than 50 people.
I know, I was born there. I'm going to my father. He's ill.
I suppose Dolan told you I'd give in.No, he said you probably wouldn't.
Have you seen the cook's quarters? No.
Show her, Caleb. I think you'll be changing your mind.
Tell Holger to come up here.Aye.
He's a countryman of yours. If you're as good a sailor as he is, there'll be no complaints.Aye, sir.
Holger? The skipper wants you on deck.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Ain't exactly tidy, but we like it.
There it is.
The crew have a name for it. They call it the coffin.
Are you offering it to me?
You couldn't take it, not for 10 days.I'll be going with you.
I lied to you, Captain. Mr Dolan did say you'd give in.
SPEAKS IN DANISH
It's better we speak English. Oh? Why so?
I speak language of the ship. As you like.
You're from Lokshanger? Yes. Been there?
I was there once, just before the new pier was finished.
There isn't a new pier in Lokshanger, unless...
the Nazis have built one.
That's right. I meant Esby.
Thanks.
Where do you want these?
Just put them there.
Oh, the first night out, we don't dress.Thank you, Steward.
We'll be in the middle of that in a minute.
The deck's not going to be the safest place.I know. We're not friends, but we're not strangers.
SHIP'S HORN BLOWS
Nice, isn't it(?)And isn't it wonderful there's so much of it?
I have to admit it frightens me.
The sea is only good to sailors that are afraid of her.Are there any others?Not many living.
BURSTS OF DISTANT GUNFIRE
What was that?A machine gun.
One of our patrols?
Maybe.
It might be signalling. Sometimes in soup like this, U-boats exchange short-distance messages by gunfire.
It saves breaking radio silence.
Captain...
Did you hear it, Holger? Hear what, sir?Machine gun fire.
Machine gun? No, I was in the cabin.
May I speak to you?
What is it?..Alone.
What?I want to show the Captain the wireless.What about it?
You will see.
Was that all right when you came on watch?Yes, perfect.
Who opened this door?I do not know.
I don't know.
I've known this crew for years. All of us, sir?
Not you...and not Konrad. Is that what you mean?
It was no accident.What about Konrad? He's a Dane, isn't he?
He doesn't use our language. He will speak only in English.
You wait here.
PLAYS HARMONICA
<Konrad!
<I want Konrad in my cabin!
Hey, the skipper wants you.
The skipper? In his cabin. Hit it.
Close that.
Tell Holger where you were born and how you got out of Denmark. And tell him in Danish.
Go ahead, tell him.
SPEAKS FLUENTLY IN DANISH
It's not good Danish, but we have many accents.
Like in America. It's not a German accent, is it?
No, I do not think so.
He says he was at sea when the German armies invaded.
What does he accuse me? Nothing. But I may.
What were you doing in this cabin?
Who tells I was in this cabin?
Answer the question!
I was not in here.You didn't touch this radio?I do not work a radio.
Somebody wrecked it. Holger speaks fine Danish. Like learned from school.
The captain is right to suspect. The Nazis have men on these ships.
They send reports to the U-boats.
You can go, Holger.
Konrad, you don't make sense. It is very hard to say in English, Captain.In any language.
When we hit Tresbeau... EXPLOSIONS
A five-incher at least.Very close.
Full stop.
What do you make of it, Caleb? Sounds like somebody shooting.
LOUD EXPLOSION
ANOTHER EXPLOSION
FIRING CONTINUES All hands midships.
All of you know what this probably is.
A Nazi sub shelling a fisherman. They don't waste torpedoes.
So there are probably men in dories drifting around somewhere out there.
The sub may have cleared out or it may be just sitting there waiting for something. Like us.
All of you have a stake in this.
So the question is what do we do? Do we nose around looking for them?
Or do we sneak out of here?
That's what we'll do, then. Maybe you better ask the lady.
I'LL worry about who to ask. Let's get underway. Keep a sharp lookout
and keep your ears open.
Schooner! Dead ahead!
Look at that!
Full astern!Full astern, sir!
Cut the engine!Cut the engine!
Ahoy!
FAINT ECHO
Ahoy!
Ahoy there!
Throw the starboard dory.
Keep off her, Captain.
Why?First machine gun signals, now no answer from ship that sends up distress flare.
Is anything surprising about that? She's been shelled.
If you board her, Captain, I go with you.You'll stay here.
I could be of help. She is a Danish ship.
Holger...
Is there anything about that ship to say she's Danish?I do not know.
All the square riggers are Danes.
Maybe so, maybe not. I'll take both of you.
Coming along, Caleb?That I am.
Ahoy there!
"Den Magre Kvinde."
Copenhagen. Danish.
Yes, sir. Den Magre Kvinde. What does it mean?
Thin woman. No...a woman starved.
The gaunt woman.
Yes... The Gaunt Woman.
Pull alongside and hail her in Danish.
Den Magre Kvinde!
CONTINUES IN DANISH
She is like dead. Somebody shot those rockets up.
Pull up to that ladder.
Make fast and come aboard.
He is not a Danish seaman. Why do you say that?
Put the light back on him, Pat. ..He's not any kind of seaman.
Exactly. Where's the weather in his face?
Konrad, you know these ships.Yes? For two years I sailed one just like her.
All this wasn't done by shelling.
No, she's had heavy weather, lost her rigging.
And he tried jury-rigged. It's not enough to handle so big a ship.
Afterwards comes the shelling.
Then what?
I don't know.
DOOR CREAKS
Give me the gun, Caleb.
Put the gun down.
My name's Bannion, master of the Daniel Webster.
Do you understand English?
Holger, tell him in Danish that we came to give him assistance. HE DOES SO
His pulse is steady enough. Lay him down on the couch.
Port of Copenhagen. Master Skolde. Henrik Skolde.
Is that Danish?Yes, sir. Ja.
Out of Trinidad, bound for Halifax.
Rum.
Caleb, see what you can do for him. We'll have a look at his cargo.
Here. Give me that hatchet.
Stand back.
That's good West Indies rum, all right.
Here, plug her up.
That's worth a lot of money.
More than halibut. Is the captain claiming salvage?
You'd get a bigger cut than three months' hard work on the Banks.
If you permit, sir, I do not take my share.No? Why not?
I wish no blood money from Nazi subs.
Maybe you're right.
How do you feel about it, Konrad?
I say leave her.
Why?
Holger, signal the Daniel to come and rig up a tow line.Yes, sir.
He's coming along.He speak English? Maybe, maybe not.
Hasn't yet.Konrad...I speak English. I understood before.
I was...only...
tired.
Please.
I thought for a moment they'd seen the rockets...
and had come back.
I'm sorry.
Erik, the man on deck, is he dead?Yes.
Are you all right?Oh...nothing.
What happened to the rest of your crew, Captain?Crew?
Oh, yes, they...ran.
You feel up to telling me what happened?
I have to make a report. A report? Oh, yes.
You have a radio?
No.No?It's out of order.
Oh...
You're a fisherman, you said? That's right.
Well, you shall have your report, all in good order, but you must forgive me if it seems an angry one.
Tonight I lost my closest friend.
The anger is for myself, Captain. My ship blown off the charts...
crippled by a nor'easter, the crew, a pack of idiots picked up in a dozen ports.
Some had never been to sea. The others were worse if it's possible.
You've seen how we... weathered the storm.
Not too well.Exactly.
Not too well.
When the Nazis surfaced off our quarter,
such a scramble for the boats I hoped I'd never live to see.
With luck they should reach the Newfoundland coast.If they could run on water they'd be there!
You stayed aboard, Captain? Oh, no. No...
When the Nazis boarded us, they ordered us off and set a timebomb.
But I rowed back on the lee side with...Erik.
Was he your mate?You saw him. You know he was not. He was no sailor, but he was my partner for 15 years.
We were lucky, you might say. At least, I was.
We...found that timebomb and put it out of commission.
Then they...
they...
The fog was closing in. They stood off and shelled us wallowing here, helpless.
Then they went away?Yes.Why?
I do not know.
Forgive me, Captain, but for a Dane you have very little accent.
I have no accent. You know that.
My early schooling. And if you'll forgive me if I mention it,
for a fisherman you talk like an interrogation expert.I'm sorry.
Of course, if you'd like me... What's that?
It's our trawler bringing a line, sir.
You're claiming salvage?Why not?
I could point out this is a time of war.With a cargo of rum?
I did not intend to point it out, Captain.
From the beginning I've carried only cargo that pays well.
I've regarded this war as... a profitable nuisance.I don't think we'll be interested in salvage.
You'll be paid well if you see me to Halifax.Tresbeau.
Where's that? A little harbour in Newfoundland.
I refuse. I'm still master of this ship. I was back aboard before you put foot on her.
Help me to my destination or I refuse your assistance.
Then you'd better whistle for your crew.Captain Bannion...
I am nothing if not an opportunist. If I could have prevailed, well and good.
As it is, to Tresbeau, Captain.
Tresbeau it is, then.
BURST OF GUNFIRE
There they go again. How far off would you say?
A mile, maybe two. They're sure shooters, ain't they?
You don't think it sounds more like signalling?
Cut her loose, Patrick. Get our lads and old Bluebeard off her and run for it.
Why aren't you in your bunk? I couldn't sleep. I thought you might like some coffee.
Sorry. I guess I'm a little jumpy.
The offer's still good.
You go ahead. I'll be right there.
Don't you ever sleep?
What about yourself? I think it's that ship.
Everyone aboard seems to feel it. Something not right about it.
What?I don't know. Don't you feel it?
It's hard to see the storm crippling her, even with a green crew. But what else is there to think?
Isn't it dangerous going so slowly with U-boats all around us? It's dangerous at any speed.
How long have you been awake?Half an hour. Why?Hear anything below?
Like what?Anything at all. Or see anything?Nothing. Why?
The coffee's fine. Got any more?
Margaret McLean. Your father lives in Tresbeau.
That's all I know.I'm a nurse. In six weeks I report to the Canadian Navy for duty.
Anything else?Yes. What's your father's name?James McLean.
I wonder why I never heard of him. He may have never heard of you.
Not if he lives in Tresbeau. I know that village and I never heard of a family named McLean.
You say that as if you think I'm lying. Why should I?
I don't know. I don't know why Holger or Konrad should lie, either.
Or why Skolde's ship was crippled. Or why you can't sleep.
I don't know why the radio was jimmied or why someone just sent light signals out of the porthole.
But there it is, just the same.
And here I am towing the Nazis' victim to harbour and I feel it's exactly what they want me to do.
You're not taking it any too well. I'd like an answer.To what?You!
Why you're aboard and going to Tresbeau.
I could hardly go any place.
If it helps any, my father took me away from Tresbeau 15 years ago when he went into the Navy.
He's back home now because a U-boat torpedoed his ship.
SHIP'S HORN BLOWS
Megs, you idiot!Dad!
A young man like you with those two ridiculous canes. They make a good bid for sympathy.
How are you really?Annoyed with you.That'll pass.You didn't get my letter?What letter?
The one you DID get, telling you not to be foolish.I came for the excitement.Bright lights?Uh-huh.
And you're all right?I'm fine.
We've got quite a story to tell. Where did you pick up that hulk?
How does she look to you? Just offhand, I'd say very strained.
Captain Bannion, meet my father. How do you do?How do you do, sir?
This is Captain Skolde.Welcome. Are you in command here, sir?
Oh, no. Your ship looks like you ran into more than a storm.
We did indeed, yes. I would say we've both been beached by the same agency.
Come along. You'll stay with us.
That's very kind, but... No excuses. Come along.
The most satisfying thing about coming home was nothing had changed.
Almost nothing. Remember the lilac bush you planted?What lilac bush?
My daughter is an accomplished point-killer.I didn't know you had one, Father.Sugar?No.
None of these little outports have changed much in the last 100 years.
They're almost completely shut off.
Not even a road out. No telephone? Radio?
No, only occasional patrol boats.
So we're always on the dock for a ship.But I envy you. You were able to come home again.
If you'll excuse me...I, too, sir. I believe you were shown your room.
Yes, thank you. Good night, sir. Miss McLean.Good night, sir. Night.
I hope you sleep well, Captain.
Thank you.
What were you up to?
Nothing.Meg...Well, do you think Skolde's exactly what he says he is?
Is any man?
Yes.Captain Bannion, perhaps?
No, you.
I'm sorry that you think so.Why? It puts a very heavy burden on me.
Turn around.
Captain...
Yes, Konrad.I didn't know. I thought it would be Holger.
Why Holger?Well, he is a Nazi. This is a Nazi ship.And you're on it.
Well...I look for Holger. He hasn't been in his bunk. Then I see boat.
Well, I waited, I follow.
I think I could listen to you easier if you gave me that gun.
Thank you, Captain.
Now...what makes you think this is a Nazi ship?
Well, I have been shelled by submarines. They shoot to sink.
But this is only hit above the water line.That could be the fog.No, no.
I look at the lifeboat. There was a tarp over her, full of bulletholes.
But the lifeboat had not a scratch.
How do you account for that? I think the lifeboat was tied to the submarine during the shelling.
Then Skolde comes back aboard after.
You think she's a mother ship for the U-boats?We'd both like to know.
If we're lucky, we'll have three or four hours to go over her. I'll go look in Skolde's cabin.Yes, sir.
There's nothing up in Skolde's cabin. If there's an opening, it must be down here somewhere.
HE CURSES IN DANISH
I lost my light.
HUMMING NOISE (What was that?)
(A motor.What did you do?When? Something you touched started it.
(I touched nothing, only the deck. Put your hand back where it was.)
More to the left.
WHIRRING RESUMES
Enough torpedoes to blow up half the ships at sea.
Who turned the lights on?
They must be on all the time, except when that door is open.
That keeps everything warm, dry and cosy.
It must be timed to close.
I wonder why they should make it difficult from the inside.
One of these switches must control that door. We just have to find it.
And if we make mistake?It's probably wired for just such a visit as this.
To blow the ship to pieces...
That would be very good.Take it easy, Konrad. We'll get out of here.
How?
If we do not try the switches, we'll never get out. I'm not that anxious to be a hero.
It'd take the whole village with it.
Well, I've done a fine job so far(!)
First, I tow this floating arsenal into harbour where the subs can come and load up,
and now this.Do you believe they wanted to be brought here?
Here, or any little harbour. This was their plan?It must have been, after they were wrecked.
I figure they were wrecked because they were tied up to a sub, servicing her, when the storm hit.
They couldn't get clear before it. It would look peculiar to a patrol.
A fully-manned ship crippled by a pint-sized storm.
So he shelled the wreck to throw off any suspicion.
That's right. It must be so.
And then he hoped for some simple-minded fisherman to come by.
If he could get into a harbour, like this, the subs wouldn't have to go home empty.
I was the simple-minded fisherman. You didn't know them so well then.
I have a feeling we'll get to know them a whole lot better. The crew will show up before long.
Then the subs will come in, load up, get Skolde and blow up this wreck...
and Tresbeau with it.
(Get down.)
SENDS MORSE CODE MESSAGE
This one.Yes. We should have killed him.
No. You know why Skolde sent him? To send message to U-boats!Exactly.
They've rigged up a schedule. They must have contacted the crew.
The subs will be coming in soon now.
Holger's not important. Nor Skolde. I'll let you do the thinking.
Den Magre Kvinde! > SHOUT IN DANISH
That's the crew. Where's your dory?Port.
I hope they think it belongs to the anchor watch. Swim for it.
You get back to the village, tell the McLeans what we've found out.
Nobody else.Yes. What about you?
I'll stay here.
All go well? All well, Captain.Good.
Well, I see you got your crew back. Congratulations, Captain.Thank you.
They have a gift for saving their necks, haven't they?
Where did they land?At a place called Seldom Come By. Right?
Someone there sent them along.
Would you like a cup of coffee? The watch left a pot.
Thank you, no. I didn't expect to find you aboard.
I was out early and I got curious. So?I thought we might have her in too close. The tide's tricky here.
Very thoughtful of you, I must say. Mr Anderson.Aye, sir?
My First Mate. This is Captain Bannion. He'll join me for breakfast.Thanks, but...I insist.
Come along.
EXCHANGE IN GERMAN
You do fairly well for yourself. A trader learns how to trade.
I like to think of all the cigars that have been smoked in this cabin and the...
and the occasions. You know, I have a feeling for tradition.
She's a nice old relic. Would you like to go over her?
I already have.
Oh.
The other night when we came aboard. AEROPLANE OVERHEAD
Hardly time for... a proper appreciation.
Did you see her?No.
Patrol plane, probably.
KNOCK AT DOOR Yes?
A sea plane, sir. Coastal patrol. Very well. Stand by.Aye, sir.
Do you mind, Captain?
Not at all.
Das Maschinengewehr!
Flight Lieutenant Cameron. Who's the master? Captain Skolde, sir.
Here you are, sir.
You're a welcome sight, Lieutenant...?Cameron. Thank you.
This is Captain Bannion. How do you do?How do you do? I'm master of the Daniel Webster.
We towed this in yesterday from the Grand Banks.I see.
She was knocked about by a nor'easter and shelled by a sub.
May I see your papers, please?
I have them here.Thank you.
What's this about a sub?A copy of the log entry is there, Lieutenant.
Anything you'd care to add, sir?
No, I guess that covers everything.
Right. I suggest you open all your hatches before tomorrow and break out your cargo for inspection.
You could do it now.Not my job. They're more thorough than I've time for.
May I ask what time tomorrow? Some time before noon, I'd think.
May I offer you our hospitality? Thanks, I'm overdue now. Good luck. Goodbye, Captain.Bye.
Goodbye, Lieutenant. Thank you.
Youngsters, aren't they, these pilots?They do pretty well.
I was about to show you my ship. Thanks, but I promised my boys we'd be back in the Banks.
I cannot permit you to go without payment of some sort.It's OK. Shall I leave a man as a witness?
That would be very helpful. I'll send over one of our Danes.
But you'll permit me to do nothing for you?Send a barrel of that rum. When we get home we'll drink to you.
Good. You shall have your rum before you sail.Good luck. Good luck to YOU, Captain.
Oh, by the way, which Dane would you like?
No matter. The younger one, perhaps.
All right. His name is Holger.
Goodbye, Mr Anderson.
Did Konrad see you?Yes, bad news. Smile when I tell it. Holger's watching.Shoot.
Konrad thinks he left his light in the hold.The munitions hold?Yes.
If he did, we're dead. Wait here a minute.
Caleb!Aye?
Are all hands aboard?All but Holger and Steve.Round up Steve. We're getting under way. ..Holger?
On the run.Yes, sir. ..Nice.
Captain Skolde wants me to leave a man here as a witness.
Me, sir?Do you mind?Well, it'll be good to be with my own countrymen.
You better pack. We're shoving off.
You're a good seaman. I hope we meet again.Thank you. I hope so, too.
We might have a chance if we run for it before they discover the light.
Yes.Meanwhile, it's up to you to get the villagers out of here
in small groups so they won't be noticed.I'll try, Pat.
Good luck.
See you in Gloucester!
Fire her up! Cast off the bow line!
If they find it, they will blast us out of the water.They may, anyway. I'm not sure Skolde believed me.
He could radio a sub to do it. Get all the speed you can, Caleb.
All right, Pat.
Jetzt, Herr Kapitan. Es ware sicherer.
Caleb, you and Owen take the Daniel and head for Gastonia Bank.
As soon as it's dark, change course and make for the radio station at Squid Cove.
You'll have a chance. A long shot, but better than those who stay here.
The rest of you can go with Caleb and maybe have to swim for it or come with me.
You're right. It's not much of a choice. If you'd like to think... When did you know us to think?
They'll be going with you. I'd go with Caleb, but I can't swim.
What time can you make Squid Cove? If the weather holds, by midnight.
Half speed ahead. Take her under the cliff. Stand by to lower the dories.
Keep out of sight and wait here. I'll find a way back to the village.
Margaret!
What are you doing?Looking for you. I thought you'd have trouble finding your way back.And the villagers?
They're moving out, a few at a time, to the church behind the hill.Good.
Where are your men?They're below. We'd better get started.Margaret...
Don't you think the war could spare us just a minute or two?
Perhaps. There's no war yet. That's what I mean.
Hello, Megs.What are you doing here? Somebody ought to be in evidence. Did you find him?Right behind you.
Bannion?Right here, sir.
Should I get your coat?Wait here. We'll be going on directly.
Boat coming in.
It's the mate, I think.What do you think they're up to?I don't know.
Think Skolde will act tonight?Yes. He has to bring the subs in now.
You have a plan?It's a gamble. Are you the nurse? >
Yes, I am.
Keep out of sight.
We have an accident. A man is haemorrhaging. Please, come.
(No, Margaret.)
Hurry, please.I'll need my kit.
I'm afraid she can't go.
Your daughter will not be harmed if you do exactly as directed.
Please, Dad, it's all right. Inside, quickly.
Sit down. You know our cargo? Yes.
Where is the Daniel Webster going? English Village.
They'll never get there. Why is the village empty? Where are the others?
Answer.
Behind the church. Why? >
You better tell him, sir. They were to set signal fires.
Are they armed? A few of them.
THEY TALK IN GERMAN
Gut. Vorsichtig. Die Leute sind bewaffnet. Vorwarts!
Dort.
GIVES ORDERS IN GERMAN
A SINGLE GUNSHOT
I don't know. It's a tough decision to make.Yes.
All right. Let's go.
Fritz, hast du es gehort?
Was, denn? Etwas im Wasser.
Nein, du bist verruckt.
Feuer!
Konrad!
Did you send men forward?Ja.
Where is she?
What does it matter? You're all the same as hostages now. The next cabin.
There's the key.
She'd better be there.
I am an officer of the German Navy. You do not think I would surrender to a handful of fishermen?!
Get your dorymen off these decks and ashore
or in 20 minutes this ship blows up and all of Tresbeau with it.
Pat! Pat, here she is!
Margaret, are you OK?Yes, Pat. Are you sure?Yes.
Get her ashore. Have everyone go up on top of the cliff. He says the ship will go up in 20 minutes.
I think he's really crazy!Hurry. You're coming?Later.Pat...!
Get her ashore! Everyone goes but the crew. Up anchor.Right, Pat.
SHOUTING IN DANISH
So she's going up in 20 minutes? And everything for half a mile. Including you.Including me.
You went down in the hold and set a timebomb?
No need. There is a device designed for use by me in an emergency.
Keep him here. If he bats an eye, blow it out of his head.
Look, I'd just as soon carry you, so don't tempt me!
Hoist away!
Steve!
The anchor's up.Take the helm. As soon as she gets underway, work her out into the current.
Steady as she goes! The rest of you, over the side and pull for the cliff. I can handle her now. Go!
She caught the current!Good. Lash her down and take off. Think he's bluffing?Do it!
He try anything?No, nothing.
Well, that settles that. Captain, it's YOUR turn.
We'll soon be far enough out that they won't feel it. Only we'll wait.
Until we sight the subs coming in. Then we'll blow her ourselves and take them with her.
