what but but it's all settled we agreed

that we I know but I've thought about it

again there are no butts about this

Lucy I simply can't go away now no P

what we've done is wrong very

wrong but marriage isn't just a means to

rectify a wrong

it's much more than that of course it is

I know that when you got into the train

at Portsmouth you had no intention of

getting Mage had you no but in fact you

were quite definite about it you said

Mage was a handicap to a young officer

especially one who wasn't wealthy you'll

be away at sea for

years you'll come back to a wife you

hardly

know when you asked me to marry you had

you thought above that that's not the bu

oh yes it is

darling I want you to face that

squarely I want to do what I think is

right why are you making it so difficult

for me because I love

you and I've going to know you you're

insisting on this out of a sense of Duty

I think in your heart you're scared and

uncertain you don't really want to take

a chance Lucy I've told you I love you

you isn't that enough no

dick not unless your love is strong

enough to make you want to take a

chance and it isn't is

I sir they want to know if we picked up

the SOS from The Dun Fern Castle pilot

no give me the approximate position of

the dun Fern castle

please he was 4 days out of Panama

heading for Sydney with a cargo of

Machinery he must be almost on the

equator sir we're here i' put the dun

Fern Castle 600 M Northeast of us and

900 mil Due West of the Galapagos Island

you see our comvo still 60 M A St thank

you pilot you know what this means don't

you it's the German Rader it's the ESS

can we be sure of that sir don't think

there's any doubt of it we know a German

Cruiser left valaro 3 weeks ago on on

nor Westerly course what's our last news

of essent

pilot she was reported heading north at

about 14 knots that was 4 days ago it's

fits in very nicely you see that

SOS being shelled by enemy Cruiser

sinking yes it's the ESS all right she's

the only one with range to operate in

this part of the Pacific you sent for me

Sir Chief I believe we're in Striking

Distance vess we're going after it we're

down to 55% fuel remaining sir what can

we do on that 8 Days steaming at our

present speed at a full speed less than

half that sir and we are in a fix we

lost Essen and she got through to that

Convoy she'd have an afternoon's target

practice picking them off like wooden

ducks on a pond our name would be mud

and if we don't go after her sir yes

you're quite right it'd have us for that

too we go after essm we risk the Convoy

if we don't we miss the chance of

destroying the most powerful enemy ship

in the position pafic Asbury and

Cambridge are all right sir they topped

up with fuel before joining us yes but

not to be able to go after Essen

myself well there's nothing else for it

Commander Captain Ashley will go after

ESS with Asbury and Cambridge we remain

behind to cover Convoy hi Isa make a

signal Chief yman please hi is

Sir do you hear there do you hear there

the Cain will now address the ship's

company this is Captain Ashley speaking

I have news for all hands at last we may

be going into

action the German rer Essen is known to

be in this area we've received orders to

go after her the earliest possible time

of making contact will be daylight

tomorrow you'll be called to action

stations then I'm confident that we

shall acquit ourselves well

we'll exercise action stations as soon

as hands are finished dinner Commander

I would you believe it everyone

peacefully sailing along minding his own

business and Jerry has to turn up like a

bad Penny as if the weather in these

parts ain't not enough without him I get

away misery with a bit of luck we'll get

a week's leave out of this what do you

say brown I'd say we need a bit of luck

guns on the ESS and outranges by about

5,000 yards no you're Kitty BR I'm not

I'm just glad Cambridge is with us to

share the fun that's all

they are you see it's just like the

Gypsy said when she read me Fortune stay

away from water she said it will never

be no good to you I thought she made the

stuff you

drink hello cly

hello sdo flag dick no nerves in the

nerve center I hope no nerves almost no

hands blasted send the yman down got two

men in the sick B oh that's bad luck

look I got to have another body for

coding can you let me one of yours at

this time C of course at this time we

got the function haven't we all right if

it'll shorten the water I'll send you

one it's going to cost you a large gin

no cheap at the price you might make it

that Canadian lad Brown will you no wait

a minute Brown's done the job before

he's bright and he's Dependable I'm

sorry K you can have bishop egam or

pointer but Brown stays on the flag

there you're a glutton he's one of my

best men let's have a look that

you what I can't make out brownie is why

you ever coming to signals because when

I was training at shortly this is what

they told me to do how about Gunner you

wanted to do that didn't you well they

said they needed signaling you can't

always do what you want in service you

know that a strong sense of Duty eh

you want your Aid examined Cham well as

a matter of fact some time ago I did

think about putting in for a transfer oh

why didn't you oh I don't know what I

meant dipping rate and starting all over

again thought it was taking too much of

a chance so I decided to stay put well

all I can says it's typical here are you

up to the eyeballs in book learning

about chips and guns and everything else

you m ler the proud possessor of more

rifle shooting medals and I at kns aore

and what do they give it to do gun

laying far off Torpedoes not on your

line life flashing lamps and taking

messages and running bits of color

bunting up and down to the yard arm and

blind old Ry they expect us to win the

war and yes sir how long have you been

in the service an 12 Years sir last

January that's a long time to made a

signalman isn't it yes sir I'd like to

know exactly what connection you think

there is between shooting a rival and

ship's

Gunnery I don't know sir no I didn't

think you did let me tell you an nothing

precisely nothing but I do expect you to

know that in battle Communications are

every bit as vital as Gunnery and that's

our job yes let's see we do it well all

right everyone feeling fit yes sir BR

when pointer comes I'll have him report

to the sdo for coding duties will you I

sir carry on

please why does it always have to happen

to me you want to learn to keep that big

mouth of your shut

Chum now me ble and life Bel won't blow

up

come on in John help yourself to a gin

sit down thank you sir I'm just making

out my report to the admiralty on my

orders to Ashley yes sir can i p you one

thanks I suppose if I weren't a

temperate sort of fellow I'd be drowning

my sorrows

tonight why not naal Jin has any to and

Noggin the job can be done quickly and

cheaply thank goodness that's what it

can

thanks

John John you and I have been Shipmates

and friends for a long

time I don't mind telling you that to

engage Essen is something I've dreamed

of it's a very bitter experience they

have to send a junior ship to do the job

for you as of course it is it's rotten

luck for you sir sailor service you know

John is his only

Memorial I wanted to lead the Squadron

into action against ESS more than

anything I've wanted in my whole

life for one reason or another I seem to

have missed the big

chances or is that making it too

personal a

matter I wouldn't say so sir not if hero

Nelson's any guide sir Nelson do you

remember what he once wrote

sir I'll be a hero he said and confiding

in Providence I'll Brave every danger

yes close the enemy lay

alongside I had to send Tom Ashley

you're only the other action would have

risk the convoys I know but I'm

beginning to wonder whether I shouldn't

have accepted the risk to have courau

test destroyed him wouldn't that have

Justified it it's bound to be a matter

of opinions my reasons for not going

were sound enough I know that but aren't

there times when instinct is an even

better guide than

reason let me ask you a question John as

a

friend sir in my position would you have

taken the risk really sir how can I

possibly come on John out with

it well yes sir I would

have I

see well it's not the first time I've

failed to follow my instinct and live to

regret it

John excuse me sir Commander sir round

good Asbury and Cambridge may still

destroy the s yes of course I only wish

I was with Tom Ashley at this

moment carry on please Commander I

Captain up thank

you I was afraid of this it's from

Cambridge she's run into dirty weather

and lost the EST that's tricky sir yes

well let's see what we do now pilot sir

our last report from Essence showed her

on northeasterly course right yes sir

here sir I

see if she continued on that course

she'd be forced to give herself up but

she won't do that trouble is where would

she go where could she find a shelter

for repairs has she turn north do you

think so and run for Impala too much

traffic keep away from there let's see

the gal of pegas group she could find an

Anchorage there all right very good

pilot give me a course my guess is right

the eston has a very good head start on

us but with a bit of luck we might just

catch him yman sir make a signal to

Cambridge tell her to rendevu with us

south of the galap pegas island give me

a position please pilot

toes

Stokes

hello do you hear those P pumps working

yeah she must have a bow full of water

and a leak in a collision

bulkhead we're losing we we're moving

more slowly than we were

yesterday as far as I'm concerned she

can really well sink she won't sink not

unless we hit another storm that's just

like I was telling you the way they

design these ships nowadays with special

watertight compartment but now Professor

thanks I'm in no mood to

concentrate I'm sorry

that's all right H you know what you

want to do don't you you want to put him

for edmo all this talk about tatics and

bads and

ballistics who learned you it all anyway

I was brought up on the Navy Stokes what

your dad eh no my mother your mother

yeah he's quite a woman she knows more

about the Navy than most of the Admirals

sure I never knew Canadian girls so

interested in the Navy my mother's

English you see my dad died before I was

born and she left England went to Canada

Montreal I guess you want to get away

and forget he was Navy too but she never

talks about him not even

now guess it must have been pretty tough

for working in a Strange

Land yeah she used to feed me the Navy

with my bottle did she now well you be a

good lad and feed me some of that water

over there will you oh

sure hey that's

funny the engines have almost

stopped we must be in smooth water

[Music]

machine L for l

for

[Music]

for back back

[Music]

well where are

we well I don't know I can't recognize

[Music]

anything machine stop by the machine

stop by the Machine Stop

[Music]

we seem to be in some sort of a

lagoon Channel must be pretty nerv

they've taken a line from the

stern then she can't turn around the

water must be too shallow on either side

to let her

swing BL me what a Sit should be if our

LS came along now eh

they believe they're being

followed she saying

no they've got to make their repairs and

get out he says he'll get them just 36

hours if they wait any longer they'll be

trapped

36

hour if only we could do something to

all them

up I'd give the other leg if we could do

that e

[Music]

spe come

come for outs

what are they trying to do capsize this

tub they're listing her Rob something

work on the damage not losing much time

either you ought to see them up there

well I'd rather them than me it's too

bleeding

up what a place to be stuck you know not

a breath of air another a pub

inight C couldn't I do there were nice P

of pigs here

now listen STS

I think we can do something do something

do something to what to delay her to

stop her from getting her repaired in

time all of them no and me with one leg

no of course not but it was you who gave

me the idea in the first place do you

remember when the captain was talking

and you said if only there's something

we can do to hold her up well I think we

can you feeling all right now yes of

course I am just eat is it you haven't

got to touch no no no it's just that

ever since you said that I've been

looking around and figuring things out

I've got an idea now wait a

minute you want to take the ship on a

singlehanded is that it well I hadn't

thought about it that way well youd

better there's one thing though suppose

we did manage to delay her suppose our

ships did catch

up how about you well I should be very

comfy shall I yeah I know but you

wouldn't be able to get up if I come out

of this what chance you think I've got

to get him back to seea again I'm one

leg in a stamp and I've been at Sea

since I was 14 years old

they' only put me up on the beach to rot

and I wouldn't like that

se so if you're not completely off your

rocker

Buster you

delayed okay Stokes as long as you

realize that whatever you do you're

going to be taking a terrible chance you

do realize that don't you you're going

to be taking a terrible chance

yeah I'm off all right son I wish all
