All language subtitles for The Onedin line s05e01 When Troubles Come

Come on. Yes, the time's over. We're
going to move on. We're supposed to be

loaded by now.

All right, keep them at it, Mr. Edwards.
Quick as you can.

Nearly finished, Captain?

Finished? I'd have been loaded and away
yesterday if you'd laid on some decent

labour for me, Captain Baldwin.

Not very easy to find out here in the
back of beyond.

Captain O 'Neill should have thought of
that before he built this place.

It is called Port Baines.

I somehow got the idea it was at your
suggestion.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sailing on the tide, Mr.
Baldwin.

Well, you will see Captain Eden before
you leave.

Yes, if he cares to come down from that
big house up there.

Could I come aboard, Captain?

You are aboard, Captain Baldwin.

He told me he was looking forward to
cracking a bottle with you.

Oh, did he now?

Well, now you listen to me.

Five days I've been here and I haven't
seen hide nor hair of him.

He's been working on the last stage of
the force. Do you know what I'd like for

his business?

You do well, Captain Baldwin.

And that's why I work for the Fraser
Line.

Captain Baines.

Now, that's enough, sir. Thank you, Mr.
Edwards. Now, batten down the hatches

and pay off the man.

I'll tell him you'll see him, shall I?

No, you shall not.

He knows where to find me, and I sail on
the tide.

Now, you go up, and you tell him that.

We sail on the tide, Mr. Edwards.

Aye, sir.

Go see if they've lowered that boat yet,
will you?

Si, senor.

Ya.

No. No boat, senor.

Silly old fool.

He's been sailing in less than an hour.

Suppose that means I've got to go to
him.

Oh, go and get the boat ready.

Si, senor.

pleasant room.

What the devil?

Immediate hospitality. I appreciate the
gesture, Captain O 'Neill.

Now then, who the devil are you? What
are you doing here? What do you want?

Oh, forgive me, how remit.

Colonel Ignacio Fernandez Vega.

Well, Colonel, I don't really appreciate
people bursting into my house. I'm a

busy man, so if you'd like to state your
business and then go.

Oh, I will not be going, Captain.

You are the one that he's going.

You have 24 hours to leave the country.
Oh, now, listen. What is this? Please.

My soldiers, they love me dearly.

You obviously have not heard, but like
you in England, we too have had a change

of government.

Oh, yes, I have heard.

But the politics of your country are
none of my concern, providing they do

interfere with your business ventures,
yes?

Ah, my lieutenant is informing your
crews.

Ah, well, keep on looking, Colonel.

They'll probably throw him over the
side.

I do not think so.

The gun is universally respected.

Almost as much as money.

As opuestas.

So, you respect money, do you, Colonel?

Oh, but of course very much. Does not
everyone?

Ah, si.

Ah, si. You realize, of course, that I
have invested a lot of money in Port

Baines. I'm very well aware of that.

Tell me, Colonel, if my interests are to
be protected, would

you be willing to talk about... Well,
now tell me, how would you put it?

Insurance. No,

my friend, I would call it bribery.

And you have just insulted me.

For years, you foreigners have robbed my
country. You have bought a state of

timber. cotton, coffee, and made
fortunes while the people starved.

Let me tell you, your day is finished.

Now, let me tell you.

I have worked five hard years building
up this port, and what is more, I have a

legal agreement with your government.
Correction. With the previous

Port Baines is now under my control. It
is confiscated.

Not just a minute. There is nothing more
to say.

You don't just walk away.

You will regret that, my friend.

I was frightened, and I ran down to the
boat.

Captain O 'Neill was still in the room
with the soldiers.

Si, senor.

How many more of them were there?

I do not know, senor.

But only two of them guarding him. Si,
senor.

Those steps up the cliff, do they know
about them?

I do not think so. Not yet.

Good. I'll go that way.

You? But what about your ship?

I told Mr. Edwards to take her home.
He's a good first mate.

Captain Bayes, there's no need for you
to get involved in this.

No need?

You might be endangering your ship by
handing over command.

I'll be the best judge of that, if you
please.

What I'm trying to say is that if
anybody is going to rescue Captain Eden,

going to be me. I am master of the
Charlotte Road.

This is not your concern.

I'm your impudent captain. Of course
it's my concern.

But you vowed you'd never walk from him
again. You've hardly spoken to him in

five years. What the devil's that got to
do with it?

how you feel.

We'll follow them soon.

It's properly dark. I want the Jolly
Boat Lord.

Captain Baldwin, don't you think it'd be
a good idea... Just to make it look

like we're leaving, you can start
raising the canvas.

But take your time.

I must congratulate you on your salaries
and excellent wine.

It's a pity you won't be able to enjoy
it anymore.

I hope it poisons you.

You really are a foolish man, Captain.

You have lost your chance to return to
England. Now you will stand trial.

With you as judge?

Quite possibly.

Tell me, Colonel, what happens now to my
port?

I will appoint someone to take control.

Close relative, no doubt.

Don't try my patience too much, Captain.

You stay here.

Come on.

Of course, sir, Colonel, you realize
that after this, no British ship will

put into this port again.

Oh, I quite agree, Captain.

At first, your government will be
extremely annoyed.

Even sending a letter of protest to our
president.

But they will do nothing.

Your Mr. Glaston has too many troubles
elsewhere.

The Boers, Egypt.

One of the advantages of an English
public school education is that one

understands how the English think. In a
few years, all will be forgotten.

And this bay.

We'll be full of business.

Don't worry.

In five or six years, we'll release you
as a... Yes,

we have much to look forward to. You
have nothing.

I have

only to raise my voice.

And then you're dead.

Now, you

stick your nose out over this balcony
and I'll take great pleasure in blowing

up.

Apernos! A todos!

The simple fact of the matter is that
financially you have overreached

Mrs Fraser. Thank you.

I can assure you it is purely temporary,
Mr Harris.

I have it on very good authority that
now Mr Gladstone is Prime Minister,

will... Trade will improve?

Yes, though your brother never thesis to
tell me.

Oh, please don't misunderstand me.

I'm a firm supporter of Mr Gladstone,
always have been.

But I do not look upon him as a miracle
worker.

And neither do my fellow directors.

Now, in the last year, we have received
no repayment of the loan whatsoever.

True, but interest has been met every
quarter.

I mean, had the loan been repaid, you
would have received no interest at all.

That's not quite the point, Mrs Fraser.

Then let us come to the point.

I need 3 ,000 pounds to complete that
ship in my yacht.

There is five... £3 ,000 profit in it.
Uncompleted. There is nothing.

In normal circumstances, I wouldn't
hesitate, Mrs Fraser.

But times are hard for the bank as well.

I'm sorry.

Yes, that's a good round sum.

What time is it?

£3 ,000.

What? Yes, I shall ask for £3 ,000.

It's 11 o 'clock.

Well, you're due at the bank at half
past. Now, don't fuss, Sarah.

On the other hand, I think I'll suggest
4 ,000 to Mr. Harris and let him whittle

me down to three.

For heaven's sake, woman, what's the
matter now? Well, I'm sorry, Robert, but

too have an appointment.

The League of Purity about... Yes,
madam.

Ah, Mr. Dunleavy.

You did say, didn't you, you didn't know
how long Mrs. Fraser would be away.

That is correct.

There you are, you see. She could be
gone for ages.

You don't happen to know where she's
gone, I suppose.

Oh, yes, but... You didn't think to
mention it.

Uh, you didn't ask.

She's gone to see Mr. Harris at the
bank.

What?

That'll be all done, Woody.

The conniving little mix.

She knew perfectly well I was going to
see Mr. Harris.

So she invites us here so she can get to
him first. You should never have told

her. Well, it's pointless me going to
see him now.

The cupboard will be bare.

If it's any consolation, Robert, it was
bare for me as well.

And what consolation is there in that,
may I ask?

Elizabeth, what you've done is
unforgivable.

If he wasn't going to lend to me with
all the security I can offer, he was

hardly likely to lend to you.

Security?

You're up to your eyes in debt and
everyone knows it. So are you.

Yes, but not to the same extent.

My collateral is in bricks and mortar.

The figures that I were going to propose
to Mr Harris might have swayed him, but

now... After saying no to you, he's in
no mood to say yes to me. If there's two

things I can't abide, it's pompous
bankers who lecture me and pompous

who do the same. Oh, good morning,
Sarah.

Oh, thank you, Elizabeth.

I was beginning to think I didn't exist.

I'll be off to my committee now, Robert.
Yes. Will you be home for lunch?

No, I'll have a bite at the club.

That's usual.

High time you began to reassert
yourself, brother dear.

I can handle Sarah very well, thank you
very much.

Now, Elizabeth.

A letter from James that Prince Edward
got this morning.

What's he got to say?

Well, read it.

Oh.

Oh, he says all will be completed within
four months. Two months ago?

Who wouldn't listen to this?

The warehouses are filling up
appreciably with coffee... Yes, I've

letter, Robert. The point is, do we use
the information we have now or wait?

Hmm? Well, once the news is made public
that Port Baines is about to open, and

more important, thrive, our shares will
increase in value.

Yes.

That's very good collateral for a loan.

Precisely. Yes, I shall take this letter
to Harris right now.

No, you won't.

Elizabeth, I need that money now.

The store is almost completed, but I've
used up every penny.

I need money to buy stock.

Look. James and I agreed that O 'Neden
Line and Fraser Line would share the

Bains trade.

Once you tell Harris, half the ship
owners in Liverpool will have their

sailing out to South America in days.

What's that got to do with me? I'm
concerned with my store. I think we

wait, Robert.

If other ship owners were to get out
there first, it could affect your O

Line shares as well.

Well, as to that, I'm going to tell Mr.
Harris about that letter.

And when James returns from South
America, he can buy my unheeding shares.

And I will then have the money to pay
off my debt to the bank, which will make

me the owner of one of the largest
emporiums in the north of England, lock,

stock and barrel.

I shall owe nothing to no man.

Robert, if Mr. Harris should ask for a
sight of that letter, I shall deny all

knowledge of it.

I shall call you a liar.

You wouldn't, Elizabeth. Oh, yes, I
would.

We're going to keep this news to
ourselves.

It's for our own good.

Dios. Señor, vayan.

Señor, vayan, come quick.

Rápido, rápido.

What happened, you see?

Thanks a good Lord for that.

By Sunday, you had me worried.

Here, boy, go to the galley and get a
bowl of hot gruel.

Muy bien, señor.

They're moving.

There we are, with a good wind.

I gave orders to stay.

Aye, you did.

I kindly tell Captain Baldwin to put
back.

No, we will not.

We're seven days out.

Hey, you've been out cold for three
days.

Then you got the fever. We all thought
you was gone.

You can come here now.

It's a cowardly put back. No.

Now, you listen to me.

If we'd have stayed there, we'd have got
ourselves blown out of the water.

There were soldiers all over the place,
and they had cannons. It was just not

practical. So you just drink your gruel.

I didn't come around.

Aye, the boy told me.

Here the old Charlotte Road says the
nasty having a falling away if you don't

watch I can't be bold no more Easter's
the course we set down being Norie says

When

thrusting

I think I'll take in a wreath We need to
blow much harder for I thought of

shortening.

Aye, well, I reckon it's better to
shorten when you can, not when you're

to.

Hands to take in a reef.

Aye, sir.

Hands to take in a reef.

What's your call, sir?

I do believe you're letting her fall
away again.

No, senor.

You must rest.

Oh, this is the last of days. Come on,
in there.

In there.

In there. In there. In there.

Oh, there.

Oh, wait. There's a body.

Now.

Meat.

Food.

I'll look what I need. Food.

Go and get me some proper food, eh?

Si, senor.

Only if you will rest.

Oh, look, I'll do myself. Go on, I'll
sit here. Brass fittings. Eighty -seven

pounds, fifteen and nine. Say them.

Vulture brothers.

No. Next.

£473?

Ridiculous. Well, I can assure you,
madam, it is correct.

Oh. Well, pay them £50 and ask them if
we can have a more detailed account.

Very well, Mrs Fraser. Ah, Robert.

That'll be all, thank you, Mr Dunwoody.

Take these, please, and put them out of
sight. And when he arrives, show him

straight in. Yes, Mrs Fraser.

Mr Dunwoody.

Sir Robert.

Really, Elizabeth.

I do object to being cursorily summoned
to your office and by a junior clerk.

Mr Dunwoody was busy, Robert.

I was quite sure of that.

When who arrives?

Take your coat off and try and calm
down.

I am calm. It just happened that I was
in the middle of important consultations

with the builder. Oh, very well. If
that's more important than raising money

actually pay the builder, I'll not
detain you.

You've been to see Mr Harris again,
haven't you?

No. But a messenger delivered a note not
half an hour ago.

He's acquired himself a new client.

Apparently as rich as creases.

And moreover, anxious to invest his
wealth.

Splendid.

Splendid. His name is Mr. Thomas
Macaulay. But apart from that, I know

of him.

Well, I mean, providing he's willing to
invest, he can be a hog top for all I

care.

Mr. Thomas Macaulay, ma 'am.

Mr. Macaulay.

Delighted to meet you.

My word, Mrs. Fraser.

I shall have to buy Mr. Harris a
lexicon.

He didn't do you justice by half, ma
'am.

Well, thank you.

You'll take a glass of Madeira? I'd like
that.

Oh, me brother, Mr. O 'Neill. Mr.
McCauley.

Robert O 'Neill?

Yes. Do you know, sir, I was in London
two days ago, and Miss Gladstone made me

promise to seek out Robert O 'Neill and
pass on her kind regards.

Miss Gladstone.

Oh, charming person. Quite charming.

Of course, it's some time since I served
under Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Macaulay? Oh,

thank you. Help yourself, will you,
Robert?

Yes, of course.

What brings you to Liverpool, Mr.
Macaulay?

Shipping, Mrs. Fraser.

Do sit down. Oh, thank you.

Yes, I've many interests in the southern
hemisphere, Mrs. Fraser.

Particularly Australia.

I've just come from South Africa.

I took the time to travel around the
Cape Colony and the Transvaal.

There's trouble brewing out there.

I understood the colonial office had
settled our differences with the Zulus.

Not the Zulus.

The Boers.

Soon there'll be a war.

A war cannot be conducted without
supplies.

The Dutch, the Germans and the British
will be crying out for shipping. A war?

Oh, you can't be serious.

I am.

And I mean to have my foot in that door.

Why do you come to me?

Time, ma 'am.

I could create a fleet of my own, given
the time.

Whereas you have an established shipping
line and a yard equipped to build

steamships.

And? And I have the capital.

A commodity in short supply.

I'm afraid Fraser's is not a public
company, Mr. McCauley. I'm not allowed

sell family shares.

No, I am aware of that.

Yes, I thought perhaps you might be.

I'm sure you have a suggestion.

Of course.

A loan.

Secured by the assets of the company.

You mean a debenture?

Precisely. How much?

A hundred thousand.

Interest? Five and a half percent.

No. Four and a half. Payable annually.

Five. Half yearly.

No interference?

A watching brief.

I'll offer my advice when needed.

And I'll take it when needed.

The papers and my draft can be ready in
24 hours.

On my word. I've never witnessed a
transaction of such magnitude concluded

such... Well, perhaps we might better
that time, sir, with your and Eden line

chairs. Ah. I presume you wish to
disperse them. Well, unfortunately, I

do that without my brother's consent,
and he's in South America.

I see. Well, we'll talk again on his
request. However, Mr. McCauley, I am the

sole owner of a very large retail store.
The building is almost completed, and

it did occur to me that... No, no, no.
I'm afraid that shopkeeping is not for

me, Mr. and Eden.

I'd hardly call it that, sir. I would.

Ma 'am.

I'll bid you good day.

It's all right. I can see myself out.

Hey, Arthur.

Good to see you on your feet again.

Thank you, Captain Baldwin.

Crazy ship of yours.

Shall we overtake her?

Well, she has to put in to Cape Verde
for coal, but even so, I doubt we'll

an air.

Well, if she gets back before us, so
does the bad news.

Happening.

Right.

I want you to call out both watchers.

Grab on every stitch of canvas you can
lay your hands on.

But, sir.

Oh, come on now. Off with you.

Aye, aye, sir.

Now, Albert.

What are we on?

Go away, sir.

Right, then. Off with you two. I'll take
the win. Aye, aye, sir.

Miss Gaunt, ma 'am.

Oh, Lettie, come in, come in.

Dunwoody, have somebody make us some
tea, will you? Yes, Miss Baird.

Is Charlotte not with you? Oh, well, she
was.

But we met your son, William, and he
immediately took her off to show her

the yard. I hope that was in order.

Of course.

Now, then.

I received this from my London agent
this morning.

Well,

you can see that he highly recommends
Miss Harbour's Academy for Young Ladies.

Oh, yes.

It seems an awful lot of money.

Well, James can well afford it.

If Charlotte does go away to school,
Lettie, what will happen to you?

Well, I expect I shall find another
position. Naturally, I shall miss

Only Charlotte?

Well, the whole family.

I didn't mean the whole family, Lettie.

No, I know you didn't.

Why has he never broached the subject?

No.

Well... Yes?

When he was leaving, on this last
voyage, just before I went ashore, he

very red in the face and he muttered
something about settling down.

You know, sometimes I could shake him.
Nothing in his letters? Letters!

Seven in two years.

And all of them about South America.

The bank has invested heavily in this
South American venture of one evening.

Yes, indeed, I have myself.

And from what his brother has intimated,
it's going to be extremely profitable,

I'm relieved to say.

And why does Robert and Aidan wish to
sell his shares?

Oh, he needs money for his new retail
store.

How many shares does he own in the Aidan
lot?

A very reasonable percentage.

And James and Aidan?

Well, he no longer has only one company.

His interests are spread among many.

But all the profits are fed back to the
Union line.

I feel your forebears would have
described him as canny, Mr. McCauley.

My forebears wouldn't have been nearly
so polite.

You see, they were New South Wales
convicts.

Oh.

Yes, well, come on, get on with it, get
on with it.

Afternoon, Mr. Needham.

Good afternoon,

Mr. Macaulay.

Trouble?

Just a minor difference, that's all.

It's the workmen. You can't trust them
today.

I'm told they've even started asking for
money.

Good afternoon, Mr. Macaulay.

Mr. Needham.

Now that I've seen your store, I must
admit it's made me change my mind.

It's almost as good as those I've seen
in America.

Oh, really?

Department stores, they call them over
there.

Yes, so I've heard.

I need to develop this along the same
line.

I like the style, Mr. Needham.

What's more, I think I've heard upon a
method whereby I could help you.

Perhaps you can't just step inside.

Indeed I would.

No good.

Here, give us a go.

All right.

Ben?

Go on, put your back into it.

I'm back in, buddy.

I've got it. Put some terms in it.

Enjoying better, sir?

Good.

I've been a target just for years.

I've become a businessman, you know.

You've done me a part of good, these
boys.

Just like the old days.

All right.

That's good times, you and me, eh?

All right.

We could again, you know.

Maybe.

Charlotte Rose is just docking. My
office in a quarter of an hour.

Elizabeth, you can see how busy I am,
won't you? All right, then half an hour,

but this is very important.

Drive on, driver.

Be careful with that, Elizabeth.

Hello?

About two hours.

The only beat is by two hours, sir.

Bad news travels fast.

Tell him to call at the office tomorrow
morning. I've troubles enough to worry

about now.

Because of you, James, I have put myself
in debt to the tune of £100 ,000.

Well, then that's your affair and not to
do with me. It has everything to do

with you.

Oh, I see. That's the way the wind
blows.

Anything else you'd like to blame on me?

No wonder Matt Harvey walked out on you.

Now, look.

I only borrowed that money because I
knew when you came back I could sell my

South American shares and pay the man
off. Well, then all the more fool you

gambling on summits that you had no
control over. My dissertation was based

your last letter.

Oh, damn it, woman. That was written
months ago. Yes, well, isn't it? You

definitely see... Is it pointless
prolonging this discussion any further?

is done is done. Aye, exactly.

As for you, James, I've warned you often
enough in the past about overreaching

yourself. Well, now it's happened.

Oh, I can't do without one of your
sermons.

Don't you understand this concerns you
as well?

Of course I understand.

James has pledged all the assets of the
O 'Neden line on his South American

venture. I'm not aware of that.

Well, can't you see that now that it's
failed... It affects my O 'Neden line

shares, yes, of course I do.

But I've had scant return on them in the
past, but now, thank heaven, I shall be

able to survive in the future on my own.

Robert. You've been up to something?

Yes. He's taken all this far to calm me.

You can both think what you like.

That extra money for your store.

I'd always assumed it had to come from
the bank.

What money?

Here.

You have been up to something.

Well, although it's no business of
yours, if you must know, I came to an

arrangement with Mr. McCauley.

What sort of an arrangement?

Mr. McCauley is only interested in
shipping.

Aye.

Well, it's a very good one.

Ten thousand pounds at four and a half
percent.

Aye, and in exchange for what?

Well, he has first call on the business,
naturally. Oh, naturally. What else?

I've given him the right to manage my
need in shares.

What? Yes.

Look, I haven't sold the shares.

Aye, but he still has control over them.
Robert, you're a fool. Fool am I.

Aye, what if I want to talk with your
high and mighty ideas?

Building ports in South America,
throwing away hundreds and thousands of

And where's it got you, eh, might I ask?

Exactly. And as for you, Elizabeth, it's
high time you learned that it takes

more than a pretty face to run a
business. Good heavens, it strikes me

the only member of this family with both
feet firmly on the ground.

I didn't hear you coming in.

I've still got the key.

Ah.

You're, uh... You're looking very well,
Miss Garnton.

Thank you.

I came round to attend to all this.

I didn't expect you to cross as soon. I
made a fast passage.

Oh, you've lost some weight.

I'll have to go up the tailor, eh?

Well, then how's my daughter, eh?

Oh, Charlotte's quite a young lady.

You'll hardly recognise her.

She's over an age now and she should go
away to school to be, well, you know,

finished.

Turned into a lady, something I couldn't
do in a million years.

I took the liberty of writing to a young
lady's academy.

It's been very highly recommended.

Academy? Now, where's that, then, eh?
Hampstead.

It's just outside London.

The fees are from £140 per annum.

Now, I know that does sound expensive,
but if you were to dispense with my

services and close up our little
house... What, have you a little house?

I wouldn't want that.

Oh?

What I mean is, I can't afford it.

I see.

Well, thank goodness I didn't tell
Charlotte.

No, Oneedan, this is just not good
enough.

Oh, damn it, man.

I've worked half the voyage on that.

You barely glanced at it. There's no
point.

You talk about paying off the debt out
of possible trading profits, but there's

nothing guaranteed.

Here's my word.

It's been good enough for you in the
past.

At the moment, Oneedan, your word is
worth very little here in Liverpool.

You've let down not only the bank, but
hundreds of private investors.

They took a gamble, same as I did. They
invested on the strength of your

promises.

Fortunately for the bank, our loan is
secured.

You are not thinking of selling me your
buyer.

Indeed I am.

I have no option.

After noon, I was hoping I might see
you, sir.

I've just had some harsh words with your
sister.

She blames me for handing over my
command.

She said I should have put the ship
first and you second.

She's quite right.

I know, but I don't like being told by a
woman. And I said so.

The upshot is, I'm on the beach.

Well, you're in good company.

How do you mean?

I mean, I've just lost everything.

Every ship I own, taken by the bank.

What? Well, at least that's their
intention.

I've got six ships out there in the
port.

Not one of them got a notice nailed on
the mast.

Ah, then you could say that at the
moment, legally, they're still yours.

Ah.

Hey, that's sailing close to the
Windsor.

Wouldn't be the first time you were
amused on that.

These can't be all they need in line
assets.

They're all of your ships.

Why are you offering them to me?

Well, shall we say as recompense?

After all, you did lend money to Robert
O 'Neill on the strength of his shares

in these ships.

Not much escapes you, does it, Harris?

But that store of his will show a
profit.

I'll see to that.

But as to these, the price is too high.

I can assure you that those
valuations... Are far too high.

Look.

Reduce the figures by 15%. I'll take the
loss.

I've had the papers drawn up for
signature.

Thank you.

Can you at least not spare the time to
say goodbye to Charlotte?

Look, if it were possible, I would.

You must give her my love, tell her I'll
see her when I return. And when will

that be?

Oh, three months.

No more.

That's a long time to wait.

Aye. For Charlotte, I meant.

Miss Garnton, when I come back, I hope
we shall

have time to talk, discuss the future.

James, what is all this about?

Ah, got the money then? Yes. Good girl,
I knew you wouldn't let me down. Yes,

well, before I hand it over, I think I'm
owed an explanation.

Aye, right. Very well.

Explanation's quite simple.

By this time tomorrow, Harris will have
confiscated my entire fleet.

James, I've no idea.

Well, I'll still have six ships in port.

I'm going to sail them out of his
clutches.

We sail first light. But where will you
go?

Oh, I don't know, Cardiff.

Coal for Italy, then on to the Black
Sea, maybe for some grain.

Well, I knew things had gone badly for
you. I wish you'd told me, James. Is

there anything I can do to help? No,
just look after yourself and Charlotte.

Oh, housekeeping, eh?

I'll take care of that.

You'll need every penny for Bettling.

Thank you, sister.

Well, I've not much time.

I've cruised to find for six ships.

You have taken Baines back?

Yes, yes.

I knew you would.

Right. I'd best be off then.

James, when Mr. Harris finds those ships
are gone, he could telegraph you the

port. Yes, they could be waiting for
you.

Aye.

Unless, of course, someone were to tell
him that, well, I'd sailed for other

parts.

Eden Line ships has gone. I'll ask you
to moderate your language.

Slunk away in the night. And
furthermore, I'll ask you not to meddle

business of this company.

And I'll remind you, madam, that this
company is keeping its head above water

with the aid of my money. I am informed
by my clerk that you made a commitment

to purchase those O 'Neill ships.

I did. The entire fleet. And at a good
price. The price is immaterial. The fact

is they are sailing ships. And Fraser,
there's a steamship line. So?

So you will apologize, Mr. Hines.

And you would tell him that the offer
was made without my knowledge or

Now, you listen to me, madam. Listen to
me, Mrs. Fraser.

There's a Miss Gord to see you. Then
show her in. Now, just a minute, Mrs.

Fraser. Good day, Mr.

Macaulay.

I'm so sorry to interrupt.

Mrs. Fraser, this letter arrived for
Captain O 'Neill, and I feel it's rather

urgent. I'm afraid my brother has
sailed, Miss Gord. Oh, yes, I know. For

Belfast. But I thought if you had a
steamer sailing today, it might be

delivered.

We're going to go straight round to Mr.
Harry's. I wonder if they'll both make

the midday pack at the Belfast. But if
they do, I hope it's a rough crossing.

We're out of the river now, is it?

Stand by to go about at you.

west, if you please.

West, sir?

Ah.

Until we're out of sight of land.

Then you can pass out.

I'll get you dressed, sir.

Belay that order!
