J' come all ye young fellows who follow the sea j“

j' way hey blow the man down I

j' I trust that you'll join in the chorus with me I

j' give me some time to blow the man down I

- for luck. - Thank you, sir.

Man 1: Being a sailor, youfllneedluck.

A young sailor too.

I don't need eyes to tell me that.

Young seamen all want luck when they're outward bound.

Only the old ones know that there's nothing

but bad luck and bad blows at sea.

How'd you know?

I heard your suitcase go down.

A seaman would be having a soft bag.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

If it's the altair you're boarding, sir, she's a bad ship.

You've got a blind man's tricks for telling what men are like,

but ships...

You can't tell about ships.

J' a ship lay becalmed in the tropical seas j'

j' way hey blow the man down I

j' he whistled all day I

I but in vain for a breeze give me some... j'j'

I'm the third officer. Where can I find the captain?

Finn: This is another man I can never know

because I cannot talk with him.

For I am a mute and cannot speak.

But in my own silence

I can hear things they cannot hear

know things they can never know.

Man 2: Okay, fellas, pull that cover over here.

- Mr. Merriam? - Yes, sir.

How do you do, sir?

I chose you, merriam, and I don't regret my choice.

Thank you, sir.

I looked up the records of the

you seemed the most likely man for me.

- Do you know why? - No, sir.

Your history could have been my own at your age.

- We'll get on, you and I. - Thank you.

I like a good ship, a clean ship, an obedient ship.

As third officer, you'll have certain authority.

Use it well, and the altair will be that kind of ship.

- I'll do everything I can. - Fine.

Now you better go to your quarters

and get yourself ready for work.

You've no right to kill that moth.

It's safety doesn't depend on you.

I'm sorry. I... I don't understand.

Well, never mind, I'll explain sometime.

We've a long voyage ahead of us and...

You know, that's one of the nice things about long voyages,

you'll find your cabin on the main deck.

- Oh, steward? - Yes, sir.

My name is merriam. I'm the new third.

0h, your quarters are right over here, Mr. Merriam.

Thank you.

- The berth isn't made up. - Sorry, sir.

I haven't had a chance since Mr. Lingard died.

- He died in this berth? - That's right, sir.

He had such convulsions, he would have died on the floor

if he hadn't have been held in the berth.

Somehow, it seemed more proper for him to die there

than on the floor, sir.

Well, what was the matter with him?

I don't know, sir.

He was always telling funny stories.

Can you change the blankets as well as the sheets?

- Yes, sir. - And open the porthole there.

As soon as we're under way, we'll get air here.

Yes, sir. We'll be shoving off in an hour, sir.

On deck, you guys, the captain wants a look at you.

Rise and shine for the Dunham line

I don't mean one, I don't mean two,

I mean the whole sweet bellboy crew.

Skipper wants to look you over.

Get in there, tall one.

Hey, you, Scotty, can the music.

Come on, Scotty.

I ain't scot, boats. I'm Greek.

It's only Greeks can play these things good.

In the home country, we play them to the sheeps.

Sheeps? You'll get all the sheep you want.

We're going south for a full cargo.

Why, we even bring back the smell of the sheep.

We have a new crew, Mr. Merriam.

You and Mr. Bowns better look them over.

- Ausman Jack? - Here.

- Benson William? - Here.

- Carter Claude? - Present.

Pipe down, you guys.

- Corbin John? - Here.

I've shipped with this man before.

Bowns: He's a good seaman, sir.

- Thank you, mister. - Okay.

- Farnham ed? - Here.

- Mikross Peter? - Here.

Man 3: The guy's a dummy.

Keep your eye on that man, boats.

I don't want any trouble on this ship.

- McCall Tom? - Yeah.

- O'Connor Jack? - Present.

- Parker Louis? - Here, teacher.

Jensen George? George Jensen?

- Vaughn Jim? - Here.

- Waite Leonard? - Here.

Everybody here, sir, except Jensen.

Maybe in the fo'c'sle.

George was right behind me when we came out

of the fo'c's'le, sir.

Captain, I don't get any pulse.

Most likely heart failure, Mr. Bowns.

With his death, the waters of the sea are open to us

but there will be other deaths.

And the agony of dying...

Before we come to land again.

Log at zero, sir.

Log set at zero, sir, 8:23.

I heard one of the men putting it another way.

I heard him say, "the ship comes to life at sea."

I suppose that's the way all sailors feel.

It's good for a sailor to go to sea.

It's even better for an officer.

Ah, it's a good feeling.

In San Pedro, I was just another captain.

At sea, I am...

It's got to be coiled with the sun.

- It's a law of the sea. - That ain't a law.

If you break a law, you get arrested.

If you milk the cow the wrong way, she kicks.

If you coil a rope the wrong way, it can't kick.

I believe in logic.

Aboard ship, you'd better believe in the captain,

you coil a line the wrong way once,

and you'll find out.

The captain's got more law atsea

than any man on land has got...

Even the king of...

Or the president of the United States.

Why, a captain can marry you.

No, sir. I don't feel any different.

When I was on the training ship,

I was a cadet. Now I'm an officer.

Somehow, I don't feel different.

It's all the difference between being a man

and being a boy. It's more than that.

It's the difference between being a man

and being an officer.

I know, but somehow I can't believe yet

I passed my examinations, I'm qualified,

but still I haven't that feeling that you speak about.

- That feeling of authority. - You'll learn it.

You'll even learn to take great joy in it.

Papa rocked me in his arms when I was baptized.

That's the way you keep a good Greek kid

from getting sick at sea.

What's the matter with your belly, then?

She's a beautiful ship, captain.

Beautiful ship for a first berth.

She's a beautiful ship to command.

Sparks: Hiya, tertius.

- What did you call me? - Tertius.

You share bill Shakespeare's lack of knowledge.

.\

Tertius, my ignorant friend, means "third"

and, uh, you're the third officer.

I suppose it would be a big help

to give deck orders in Latin.

It's not much use on the radio either.

- Come on in. - Alright.

It's a relief to find someone on board I can talk to.

All I've been doing is saying, "yes, sir," all morning.

- The captain? - Mm-hmm. No, thanks.

Me, I take the captain, cum grano salis.

Remember, I'm like Shakespeare.

With a grain of salt.

I like the old man. He seems a good skipper.

No, I mean it.

I like the way he talks. The things he has to say.

I don't know. I just stick to my job here.

But I'll be glad to teach you Latin

or take money away from you at cards.

Alright. I'll look in on you after my watch.

Okay, I gotcha.

One forty-two.

One forty-two, sir.

Everything going well on your watch, Mr. Merriam?

Oh, everything's fine, sir.

But I think I'll have that hook secured

before I go below. We might run into a sea.

That's fresh paint, Mr. Merriam.

- I like a neat ship. - Yes, sir.

Want that hook made fast, mister?

Might be hard to do if it gets sloppy.

.\

Better turn in, Tom. Get some sleep before your watch.

Haven't you deck officers any regard for life and limb?

- Why, that's alright. - Alright?

Why, you fellows could kill a guy with that.

- You better secure it. - Tom: It's freshly painted.

Tom: We don't wanna mar the paint.

You'll mar somebody's skull if you don't do something about it.

Excuse me, sir...

If you want to discuss the hook

with me, merriam, I've already given you

as to the danger involved.

On the bridge. The hook.

Look out! Heads!

-Lookoul -John.John.

You men there, get in and get that hook.

Make fast this end. I'll fasten it around the hook.

Lower away on that winch.

I can't, the cable's fouled.

Boats: Get out, John and grab me that hook.

Put a stopper on that hook, Mr. Merriam.

Well, back to the black hole of Calcutta.

What are you thinking about, Mr. Merriam?

I think I can tell you.

You're thinking about the hook.

You've made up your mind that I was negligent.

That's about it, isn't it?

Yes, sir, I was thinking that.

Well, you have no right to think that, you know.

- The responsibility is yours. - Mine?

I don't see that, sir. I warned you about the hook.

- I told you twice about it. - Exactly.

You almost forced me into a position

where I had to show my authority

even though it put me in the wrong.

I didn't see it that way.

But granted I was wrong, sir,

I don't see how you dared risk

the lives of John and the other men.

I have rights over their lives, Mr. Merriam.

You remember the first day you came into my office?

I told you you had no right

because it's safety did not depend on you.

But I have the right to do what I want with the crew

because their safety does depend on me.

I stand ready any hour of the day or night

to give my life for their safety...

And for the safety of this vessel.

And because I do, I have certain...

Rights of risk over them.

.\

Yes, sir, I think I understand.

It's the first thing you have to learn about authority.

This liniment should have penetrated by now, Peter.

It's always worked like magic on cows and horses.

And it's the only thing that ever cured my old man's lumbago.

It's the liniment plus a kind of hypnotism

or something I got in my hands.

You feel okay now, don't you?

It's the other side where the pain is, Jim.

You mean to tell me you've just been laying there

letting me rub on this side when it's there?

I... I was working on him and...

I just touched him there, and he passed right out.

Has he ever complained of pain here before?

Man on radio: Panama calling altair.

Is the patient under anesthetic?

Sparks: Altair to Panama. Patient is asleep,

man on radio: If the patient is completely anesthetized,

you may proceed.

Are you ready?

Altair to Panama. We are ready.

Man on radio: Panama to altair.

Captain stone will bring his right hand

to the point which we have already established

as the region of the appendix.

Place the point of the scalpel exactly on this spot.

Incise to a depth of one-quarter inch.

Continue with the incision vertically, 4 inches.

Have you made the incision?

Panama to altair, have you made the incision?

Wait a minute. We're not ready yet.

Altair to Panama, we are ready.

Man on radio: Make an incision a quarter of an inch deep.

Four inches on the vertical line already described.

Altair to Panama, the incision has been made.

You're not doing so good with that, Louie.

The Greek says you got to be a Greek to play on it.

How do you know you ain't gonna catch

I heard it's catching.

Me, I've got magnetic hands. Healing hands.

Still I wouldn't wanna be in the captain's shoes.

It ain't easy.

Hello, Panama. Hello.

Dr. Ostglow. Steamship altair. Radio operator speaking.

Dr. Ostglow on radio: Altair, come in.

Hello, doctor...

The patient is breathing normally, heartbeat is good.

Thank you, Dr. Ostglow.

We will continue to follow with instructions.

Thank you again. Altair signing off.

You're a gent.

And you'll be a scholar if you hang around me.

Give me a cigarette, will you?

Sparks...

Let's not say anything about this.

I mean, let's not tell anyone

the captain didn't do the operation.

- You're crazy. - But you know how it is.

Some guys don't like the sight of blood and things like that.

Okay, if you want it that way.

I'd like to hear the next conversation

you have with the captain.

One of those talks he gives on authority.

- Can I see you for a moment? - Yes, sir.

Mr. Merriam, I want to thank you for yesterday.

Oh, that's alright, sir.

I'd like to thank you and I'd like to explain.

Oh, you don't have to explain, sir.

There are a lot of people that're squeamish about blood.

Oh, I'm not squeamish, Mr. Merriam.

I'm not afraid of anything, but failure.

That's why I didn't go through with the operation.

I'm a sea captain. I know my profession.

But I'm not a doctor, and I might have failed.

You see that, don't you, Tom?

Of course, I do, sir.

I knew you'd see it.

I knew you'd see it, just as I knew

the first time I saw you that you were

Oh, hiya, tertius.

You haven't said anything, sparks

about my having performed the operation, have you?

I just thought I'd remind you.

Been talking with the captain again?

He's been talking about authority?

That's right. He made a lot of sense.

There's something in what he says.

Wasn't much sense in what he did yesterday, was there?

- Tom: He explained all that. - Yeah, I'll bet.

He's a smooth man with the words, the captain.

Now, wait a minute, sparks. You've got him all wrong.

He's the first older man who's ever treated me like a friend.

- Tom: And that means something. - Yeah, I know.

I can see your way of thinking.

You had a tough time when you were a kid.

But, Tom...

There's a friendliness that tries

but that's got nothing to do with me. We're bound south.

It's a long voyage, and I have to tend radio.

J' a seal heard his whistle and loudly did call j'

j' way hey blow the man down I

j' roll up your white canvas zips anchor and all j'

j' give me some time to blow the man down I

j' then the breeze it blew gaily a terrible Gale j'

j' way hey blow the man down I

j' and the ship blew... j'j'

Now, if you guys want any more,

you can get it yourself.

About the way the deck's being kept.

I know, mister, it ain't as

spick and span as I'd like it.

We're shorthanded with Jensen dead

yeah. Can't help that.

The captain wants a clean ship.

Aye, aye, sir.

You're crazy.

Whoever heard of a captain putting into port

just because one man's dead

and one man's off-duty?

I've been to sea since I've been a boy.

I've never heard of anything like that.

That's because most sailors don't know the law.

With the Greek sick, the captain ought to put

into the nearest port to fill up the crew.

Why, you told me yourself

that the captain is the law at sea.

That's the way it used to be.

Now they got new laws, and the new law say

the captain's got to put into port to fill up his crew

on a coastwise trip.

To the captain yourself, Louie?

Who wants to bet I don't dare?

I'll bet 1000 bucks, you don't.

Ah, you four flushers wouldn't

put up or shut up.

So I felt it only proper to bring this

just complaint of the men to you in person, captain.

You know, there are captains

who might hold this against you, Louie.

Hey, in there, nearly finished?

Okay, let her go.

Alright. Let her go.

Hey, hold the chain. The door's locked!

Start washing down. I'll take a look at the locker.

You'd better get a couple of men down here

- it's Louie. - He was a troublemaker.

But he was a nice guy. Always kidding.

You looked into the chain locker, no more Louie.

.\

No more danger to the discipline of the ship.

- You didn't like him. - Of course, I didn't like him.

He was a sea lawyer, full of windy complaints

so you shut the hatch.

You accuse me of doing this out of spite

because the man was insubordinate?

This is what you meant when you said you had rights

you're a little hasty, Mr. Merriam.

You can't expect me just to stand by

and watch you kill a man.

On a matter of great importance?

What is the law about an incompetent

why interrupt me with a question like that

when you see I'm working?

You know the answer. The first officer would take over.

I think the captain is incompetent.

I don't know what you're trying to pull, fella.

But my advice is pull in your ears before you get yourself

into a jam that you don't like.

Now, get away from me. I'm busy.

The captains' crazy, sparks.

Sure, the captain's crazy.

Anyone who'd drive one hobbyhorse so hard

is bound to be bugs.

And what a hobby to pick.

Well, I'm glad you believe me.

Bowns practically threw me off the ship.

Sure. The captain's a little tetched.

This isn't a gag. I mean it. He's really crazy. Insane.

Hey, now.

You know well, most people are.

That wasn't an accident in the chain locker.

- That was murder. - You know, kid.

You might be a little excited yourself.

Well, let me tell you from the beginning...

I like my job and I wanna keep it.

When we get to port, I'm gonna tell the company agent.

You'll lose your job.

Even if I believe you, I advice you not to.

You can't mean that, sparks.

I believe in keeping my nose clean.

And out of other people's business.

That's the only way to get along.

I've got to do something about it.

I'm going to report this when we get ashore.

J' my tassels are hoisted j“

J' on the honey virgin... j'j'

Two points off the port bow.

Yes, sir.

J' here we come to San Sebastian j“

j' going to see my happy land I

j' and my heart is still with great delight I

j' I go to see my girl tonight I

j' well that's what we will all go j“

j' for the waltz and the tango j'

j' and you break away I mean to say that old Sebastian bay j'j'

all fast, sir.

Hello, will. It's good to see you.

Always good to see you, Charlie.

I'd like you to meet my first officer, Mr. Bowns.

- Mr. Bowns. - Roberts.

- And my third, Mr. Merriam. - Mr. Merriam.

- How do you do, sir? - Mr. Roberts is our agent here.

This your first voyage to this boat, Mr. Merriam?

Yes, in fact, it's my first long voyage.

Hmm, well, if you drop into the office,

I'll see you get a guide.

- Thank you, sir. - Be sure and take on that, Tom.

Stone: The Dunham line may be strict aboard ship,

but you'll find it friendly on shore.

Don't forget to drop by the office.

Thank you.

My invitation so promptly, Mr. Merriam.

Thank you.

Actually, I'd like to have a few words with you, Mr. Roberts

on a matter of great importance.

- Of course. Please sit down. - Thank you.

- Alright, Jose. You can go now. - Jose: Yes, sir.

Well, Mr. Merriam. What is the matter of importance?

It's about captain stone, sir.

An old friend. A great friend of mine, Mr. Merriam.

That makes it all the more difficult.

What I have to tell you is extremely unpleasant.

And not the captain, it was Mr. Merriam himself

who gave the order not to stopper the hook.

To my mind, sir, Mr. Merriam had been

working kind of hard or something.

Now, this is my first voyage with captain stone.

As it is the first for all the crew

except Mr. Bowns, the radio operator and the steward.

And all the men are agreed that a fair and able a captain...

- That'll do, boats. - Aye sir.

- Thank you. - Right.

Well, Billy, I'd like to hear what you have

to say about the captain.

I'd like to know whether you think him competent.

Whether you think he had anything to do

no, sir. It's like the others said.

The captain is a good captain.

What you call a kind man.

And Mr. Merriam, he was always a fine gentleman.

Hmm. That'll do for now, Billy. Thank you.

If I could have your permission,

I would like to mention just one thing, Mr. Robert, sir.

The captain here hasn't only given us the best food

and looked after the ship his own self at all times,

but he saved my life by that operation at sea.

And I never in my life can forget that.

Should I call in anymore witnesses, Mr. Merriam?

You men may be a little puzzled by what's been going on here.

Mr. Merriam made certain statements.

To prove him how unfounded they were.

I felt it my duty as the company agent

to prevent public investigation of a baseless charge.

Thank you all for cooperating so splendidly.

I'm sorry this had to happen, Tom.

Ellen would be wanting to see you.

I'm sure she's been waiting for you ever since she saw

the altair come into the harbor last night.

Did she watch for my ship?

She's always watching for your ship.

No, ma'am. He'll be back in an hour or so.

You're the new third officer, aren't you?

I was. But how did you know?

Captain stone wrote me about you.

Along letter. Even before he met you.

He was most enthusiastic about your training ship record.

I'm Ellen Roberts, an old friend of the captain.

Because of his letters, I feel as if I knew you too.

- Tom merriam. - How do you do?

Where in the world are you going with that bag?

Doesn't the altair sail tomorrow night?

She sails without me, Ms. Roberts.

Well, I'm waiting. Won't you let me give you a lift?

Then you could tell me all about it.

No. Thank you.

Well, that bag would be awfully heavy

by the time you reach the hotel.

- Come along. - Alright.

And so, you're dreadfully disappointed

the whole world seems to have turned against you.

Just because you made a mistake.

That's almost the captain's voice, torn.

"I didn't make a mistake. I couldn't make a mistake.

I'm authority. I'm the captain. I'm the third officer.“

but it's all so wrong.

You're just like the captain, Tom.

Lonely, austere, bitter

without family or friends.

Condemning yourself to a bloodless ghost-like existence.

And in the end, it'll be only a ghost ship you'll come out.

How long do you think I've known the captain, Tom?

I've known him for 15 years.

For 15 years, I've tried to give him love

you've got to embrace warmth and life.

Tom: I don't know any girls.

That's clear enough.

I have a younger sister in San Pedro.

She's a secretary for the Dunham line.

She'll meet you on your next trip north.

And if you don't like her, she'll introduce

you to the other girls

young men who don't even know

what the word authority means.

I'll see that you don't become another captain stone.

I'm going to change him too.

I have the right.

I've never known you to hold grudges.

I don't want him on my ship.

People seem to be turning against me.

The boy.

I feel their dislike, their distrust.

Oh, nonsense.

You work too hard too long, will.

This voyage down without a second officer,

it's been hard on you.

When you get back to the states, have a good check up.

It isn't my health that I'm worried about.

I've lived a lonely life.

Well, you and Ellen are the only friends I've ever had.

All you need's a rest.

See a good doctor just as I've said.

I have something to tell you, will.

I wanted to be here, aboard the altair

when I told you.

I want my rival to hear and feel my triumph.

I've always loved your fancies, Ellen.

This isn't a fancy.

That I can take you from her

and keep you from her.

- You won your case? - Yes.

He finally gave in.

The final papers came through last week.

I expected a different response, will.

I thought we were both waiting for this.

Now, there's little I can do or say.

- Afraid of me, will? - Of my mind, Ellen.

- I don't trust it anymore. - Your mind?

Don't come close to me. Stand there.

I remember captain blaker of the ajax.

She's my first ship.

I was a mess boy.

Iwatched him lose his mind little by little.

He knew it, could do nothing about it.

It was awful, Ellen. I've never forgotten it.

We were run down in a fog off the coast of the mersey.

Ajax sank like a rock.

Blaker went with her. He was lucky.

It's only your memory that frightens you.

I felt strange.

Well, I've done things that, I...

Felt that I was on the verge of...

Doing some terrible, stupid, ugly things.

And this morning when the boy testified against me,

I could barely keep my seat.

Give me a chance to get over this.

This feeling that I don't know myself.

That I don't control my thoughts,

my actions.

You can have all the time in the world.

I'll be waiting here for the altair on her return voyage.

I'm a British subject and I'll not sing

for you or any other heinie.

- Mr. Merriam. - Tom: What goes on here?

What are you men up to?

Are you hurt, Mr. Merriam?

This man is my officer from the altair.

He's been hurt. I've got to get him back aboard.

Naturally, had I had anything to say about it,

evidently, Billy had the policeman bring me aboard.

Of course, sir, I realize I have no right

whatsoever to be aboard the altair.

I'll be glad to make arrangements to pay

my passage when we reach San Pedro.

I don't want to be aboard anymore than you want me here.

But I can't do anything about it.

You can't expect me to swim.

That's quite the wrong tone, merriam.

You'd be my guest on the trip north.

That you'll have no duties.

We'll do everything we can to make the voyage

as just comfortable as possible.

- Thank you. - In fact, merriam.

I'm rather glad that you're on board.

It will give me a chance to prove certain theories of mine.

You know, I'm sure that you'll find them very interesting

you can learn many things from me.

I'm sure you never doubted that

but we'll forget all that, Mr. Merriam.

Thank you, captain.

You know there are some captains who'd hold this against you.

Oh, Raphael, I was wondering if you got me to bed last...

Hiya, sparks. I seem to have gotten myself in a kind...

Don't come in here, fella.

I don't want to get mixed up in any funny business with you.

Look, sparks. We're friends. I need your help.

Now, stop kidding and listen to me, will you?

But it's for listening.

I tell you, I'm dead serious

and I don't wanna hear a word you have to say.

Captain's gonna kill me, sparks.

I'm not too dumb a guy now, sparks.

I'm not yellow, I'm not hysterical.

And I'm telling you, he's gonna kill me and I need your help.

Send a wireless to Mr. Roberts in San Sebastian.

Unless he personally okays it.

Don't you see? That's part of what I meant.

Perhaps you've never seen a man die that way.

But I want you to live.

I want you to learn the great lesson

that I thought I had I taught you.

That's crazy talk.

Well, I never felt more sane in my life

you, who defied me and are helpless

or I, who control your destiny

and the destiny of the altair and all the lives on board.

I wish bowns, I wish the crew could see what I see now.

Could hear you talk.

Yes. And they would too, if they could see you now.

As long as I wear these stripes,

that'll believe you or help you.

You'll find them too lazy,

that's what I want you to learn, merriam.

And a few men are given authority to drive them.

You can't prove that to me even with a gun, captain.

I know people aren't that way.

They're good, kind. They help each other.

It's only hard to get them to understand.

I'll give you a chance to make them understand.

You go out there.

Go any place you want on board ship.

See if you can get them to help you.

See if they'll stand up with you against authority.

Why, even your friend sparks won't help you.

Try! Try! Try!

But, Jim, can't you understand what I'm trying to tell you?

But, Louie was your pal.

The best friend you had on board.

How do you think your pal was caught in the chain locker?

You think that door closed itself?

If you'll take my advice,

you quit trying to start trouble around here.

Boats, you're a sensible man.

Listen, kid, quit trying to stir up trouble with the crew

they don't like it. They don't like you.

Want some more? Did you ever hear about mutiny?

There isn't any lock on my cabin door, chips.

I was wondering if you could put one on.

Stone: Since you have no earthly need of this...

Listen, Tom.

You'll only get anyone you try to talk to in Dutch.

Now, why don't you be a good guy and...

- Why is the lock... - I don't know anything.

There's only one thing you can do to please me.

And that's by staying away from me and not talking to me.

Seems to me, the captain's being pretty decent after what you...

I've got to convince you. Or someone.

The captain's a homicidal maniac. We've got to...

- Get this off right away. - Yes, sir.

Finn: I know this man's trouble.

Isee the captain's hatred.

Hiya, tertius. Close the door.

I don't get this.

"Torn merriam not aboard altair. Regards."

Why in the world would the captain

want to send this to Mr. Roberts.

I'm beginning to believe your story, Tom.

This is a reply to a message send by Roberts asking

if you were aboard.

The way I figured, may be you're right.

Maybe the captain's does intend to get rid of you.

Well, now you know, are you going to help me?

Yeah, I'm going to take this to bowns in the morning.

It'll be enough to get him to listen to you anyhow.

Meanwhile, you better get some rest.

- So long, tertius. - So long.

Do you know how to operate the wireless, Mr. Merriam?

Yes, sir.

If you don't mind, I'd like you to get up

and send a message for me.

I beg your pardon, sir, but why can't sparks send the message?

The message I'm asking you to send will answer that question.

Can you read, Finn?

What do you want the paper for?

I'm ready, sir.

You knew he was gonna help me.

Why, you...

You killed him. I know you killed him.

He killed sparks. Let me go.

I tell you, he didn't fall overboard.

Captain stone killed him. Just as he killed Louie.

Just as he wants to kill me. I tell you he's crazy.

Can't you understand? He's crazy.

Mr. Merriam may be giving us a clue

as to what's wrong with him, Mr. Bowns.

- You mean, the boy is... - It's not me, it's the captain.

He's mad, I tell you.

I don't know how you describe

let me go. Please let me go.

He killed my friend. He killed Louie.

Maybe we ought to have the boy restrained.

- So he won't hurt himself. - Why you...

Get a rope, lads. Truss him up and put him in his bunk.

Ah, you couldn't be telling.

That's fine, boys. That's enough.

Here's a needle all made up.

Bowns: Think he needs it? Stone: Huh, he looks pretty bad.

Stone: It might quiet him.

Bowns: Yes, sir.

Man 4: That's an odd message, surely.

With the boy here and alive.

I had the boy tied up and gave him a sedative.

Maybe he ain't the crazy one at that.

You deck officers have your problem.

It's gonna be the problem with you fellas as well as mine.

After me, you're next in rank, and you gotta help me.

If the boy is right.

If the boy is right.

If the boy is right.

If the boy is right.

If the boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

The boy is right. The boy is right.

Mac, we gotta do something about this.

We can't let things stay this way.
