Clear of the Elbner, sir.
Still making 12 knots.
Yeah, that.
And it'll be a fast bus from Hampton to Falmouth.
Two days to take on coal and provisions, then on to America.
Wouldn't have to waste two days taking on coal if we was under sail, sir. Yeah,
well, you're not.
And if you were, you wouldn't have 150 emigrants aboard. You know emigrants.
It's a steamer train.
Come on, let's crack a bottle. I feel like celebrating.
You know, I have words with the previous master of this tuffing billy.
He reckoned that the sheer water gave him nothing but trouble, and it was
the engines that let him down.
Well, he was an old woman.
I wonder what you don't get like him.
An engine something like a bird.
You know, sir, I reckon we was mighty lucky.
When we tied up, I took one look at all those other steamers, the Swedes and the
Germans, regular runs to America,
cheap fares, agents on the docks.
I reckon we'd come away empty -handed.
But like I said, we was lucky. Lucky, eh?
Where do you think I've been these last ten days? It's hardly my business to
inquire, sir. Poland.
That's where I've been.
Poland?
Now that half of Europe's on the move, I intend to capitalize on it. So I went
to the villages.
Sold them tickets to Hamburg.
Then they needn't lie to New York and then railway tickets on to Chicago.
Twelve pounds a head, all in.
That don't take the biscuits. Yeah.
Four pounds profit per head. Six hundred pounds, six trips.
That makes 3 ,600 pounds.
Plus what you make on the return journey. I reckon the old share of water
to collect to 5 ,000 pounds a year, easy.
And you only paid 7 ,000 pounds for it.
So I did.
Well, here's to the American training.
One fork.
One knife.
One thin cup.
One thin plate.
All the property of the O 'Neillian line.
And to be on the back in good condition.
At the point of disembarking.
Otherwise, charged for... You have another so -called word, have you?
Isn't there one of you foreigners that can speak English?
I speak.
Also my sister.
No one else. Well, thank heaven for small mercy. Now, to be honest, what
there can be of pork, of fish, and bread and potatoes?
Breakfast, coffee, bread, and butter when available.
They will not starve on an uneven shift.
Sir, we are not hungry. We are ill.
Ill?
Ill? What's the matter with you?
Oh, we are all feeling sick.
It is the sea.
Oh, that.
You wait until we get into the Atlantic.
You'll find buckets outside.
You look as though you've been enjoying yourself down there. I have. There's
nothing like practical experience.
What's British doing now, Captain Bates?
Well? Well, 13 knots, Master William, same as you said she would. The chief
engineer was right.
Enlarging that valve on the low -pressure cylinders made all the
I'm sure we could get another knot out of her. Well, I don't like pressing a
ship too hard, not unless I asked her. But the engine would stand it. Now,
listen, there's much more to a ship than an engine. You've got stokers down
there.
Nothing like a constitutional, let's say.
Don't you agree, Captain Baines?
I'll take a couple of turns around the deck myself.
Sit down, lad.
Come on, drink up.
If you're doing a man's job, you might as well have a man's drink.
Yes, sir.
Couple of things I want to say to you.
It's about the bypass. No, it's not about the bypass.
Have I got a letter from your mother?
Now, I'm a plain man, but I can read between the lines.
Something wrong at home?
It's a personal matter.
It's family.
You in trouble?
No.
Before you come on this voyage, you'd been staying with Robert and your Aunt
Sarah.
Why? It was only for a few days. Mama agreed.
Your Uncle Robert persuaded me to take you on this voyage.
Then made your mother agree.
Told me to mind my own business at the time, but now I would like to know why.
I wanted time to think something out, that's all.
Like what?
Come on, lad, I'll find out sooner or later.
It's... it's to do with my parenting, sir.
She knew, I suppose.
Well, it might be something like that.
How did you find out?
I think I half -guessed.
Mr Fogarty confirmed it.
Oh.
Anything else said?
Nothing.
Nothing, eh?
I stayed out most that day. I must have walked miles.
That night I told Mama I needed time to think.
It was Mr Fogarty who suggested I stay with Uncle Robert.
Uncle Robert was very understanding.
He told me I was only looking at that ugly word.
Hey, there is another word you know.
I know.
Love child.
We said there were a couple of things, Uncle.
Oh, yes.
Now I hear that you and Charlotte have been seeing quite a lot of each other.
We are good friends.
She's my cousin. I'm very fond of her. It's because she is your cousin that I'd
like you to give her the opportunity of making other friends.
Now, you take my meal.
What?
We'll have another drink and say no more.
Well?
It's a good letter. He expresses himself very well.
Is that all you have to say?
The boy's had a shock. His whole world has been turned upside down. He needs
time to readjust. No, having been the cause of driving him away, you propose
do nothing.
William is nearly a grown man.
It's high time he came out from behind your petticoats.
I don't need a lecture, Daniel, on how to deal with my own son.
Now, you listen to me, Elizabeth.
For the last month, he's done nothing but lay blame on my head for telling him
the truth.
Now, whether that decision was wise or not, only time can tell. But it's done,
and we cannot turn the clock back.
Any more than you can escape the fact that he is our son.
Not mine, not yours, but ours.
Elizabeth. Oh, do forgive me for cutting short your speech, Daniel.
But I have one of my own to make to Brother Robert.
And furthermore, I will not have matters concerning my personal life bandied
around for all and sundry to discuss.
This display of self -righteous indignation does not become you,
and I'm not having a row in the shop coming to the office.
When I asked if William could stay with you for a few days, I did not think you
would use that as an excuse to pry into my personal relationships with Daniel
Fogarty. Pry? Yes, pry.
I've had a letter from William, and it's obvious you've got him to discuss
things that were none of your concern.
I suggest you get your facts straight before you start talking like that.
William was our guest.
We had no wish to discuss you or Fogarty.
We made that quite clear.
But the poor boy was... Overwrought, completely overwrought. Overwrought to
extent that he found he had to talk to someone.
Sarah and I simply listened and gave him what comfort we could.
Yes, you were very good with him.
You know, Elizabeth, for years Sarah and I have been advising you to tell
William the truth.
I was afraid of what he might... Think of me.
It came as a terrible shock to him to hear it like that from Daniel Fogarty.
more of a shock in the manner of it.
Oh, Robert, what am I going to do?
Do nothing.
Well, at least do nothing until the lad gets back here and tells you in his own
time. Tells you because he wants to tell you, not because you say he has to.
Of course, if you were to marry Fogarty...
That would almost make William legitimate.
Sarah.
for more steam, but we're still losing speed.
We are heading straight into the wind bays.
It shouldn't affect us that much, sir. I mean, we're barely making six knots.
William?
What?
Empty room!
Empty room! Empty room!
There's no hope of repairing that pipe.
We've scared men to do that. What about the engineer?
Dead.
Sir.
We can put him ashore at Parliament.
No. We'll take the shearwaters straight on to Liverpool and to sail, Captain
Baines.
and transfer the emigrants onto another ship there. There's only the Charlotte
Rhodes there, sir, and she's due to go into dry dock. I'm not giving up this
emigrant trade just because some damn steam engines let me down. The emigrants
won't travel on this sailing ship. Not under combat.
You try telling him that.
Stepan. Stepan, we're in America.
Impossible. No, it's true.
We're going up a wide river. And there are buildings that live in front of us.
It's a big town.
It's just as you told me.
Oi. Quiet, everyone.
Where's the man who speaks English?
I'm here.
Good. Mr. Nguyen wants a word with you.
This is the man, sir.
What's your name?
Rich. Stepan Rich.
Mr.
Rich. As you were.
Probably guessed. We've had a spot of bother with the engine, so we've had to
put into Liverpool for repairs.
How long do we stay?
Well, until the engineers look at it, it's hard to say. Maybe three days,
three weeks.
Three weeks?
Could take a long time.
Now, what I propose to do is to transfer you lot onto another ship.
A beautiful sailing ship called the Charlotte Rhodes.
Right, tell her now, will you?
No.
What do you mean, no?
We're not going sailing ship.
Our tickets say steamship.
Yes, I know that, Mr. Riggs, but as I've just explained to you, that's just not
possible.
Sailing ship take too long.
We wait until this one is mended.
Steamship is promised on ticket.
I guess that's what they say, sir. Yes, did you indeed, Mr. Morgan.
Three weeks.
It's going to cost a tidy sum to feed this lot.
Feed them?
Oh, let them look to the contract.
I only feed them while on voyage.
No food?
You'll not give us food?
Only when we're sailing.
Still don't worry.
Plenty of cheap eating houses ashore.
We have no money.
I see.
No money at all?
Very little.
That is for America.
We not spend. We starve first. I tell you what, Mr. Ridge, I'll strike a
with you.
Now, you'll go by steamer.
And I'll feed you all while the ship is being repaired if you supply me with
some labor.
Labor? Six strong men to tend the ship's fires while we are sailing.
And you feed all of us?
Until we land in America.
See to that, Mr. Morgan, will you? Aye, aye, sir. Oh, Mr. Morgan.
When we do sail...
Don't bother to sign on any stalkers, will you?
The war office.
A regular run. Six ships a year.
Portside, then on to Bombay.
They'll guarantee us 200 passengers, both out and back.
Yes, the rate seems very reasonable.
Quite a few of the officers will be returning not only with wives, but with
furniture. We set our own freight rate.
How did you come by this?
How someone owed me a favor from the past.
And I found out he'd been promoted to the War Office.
And you had no hesitation in asking him to repay the favor?
We all have to pay our debts, Elizabeth.
Sooner or later.
Oh, Daniel, please don't... All I'm asking is that we try to begin anew.
I want... William!
Hello, Mama.
Good to see you, William.
Thank you, sir.
Well, I imagine you and your mother have much to talk about.
Why don't you both dine with me in my hotel suite this evening?
Well, that would be very... William.
Thank you, sir.
Excellent. I'll go and prepare the fatted carp.
Or something similar.
You need a bath.
I do, don't I?
No, I don't think so, thank you.
That was the most delicious meal.
Yes, thank you, sir.
You live very well, Daniel.
Well, I have comfort, yes.
But it doesn't compensate for living alone.
Money isn't everything.
Yes, it is rather trite saying, isn't it? But having experienced both
I think there's a certain truth in it.
Then perhaps you should seek happiness by giving your money away, sir.
William! Well, who knows?
I might just do that.
Daniel, do be serious. In Darth, there are a dozen orphanages.
Did you know I was an orphan, William?
No, sir.
Unlike you, I grew up under the shadow of not even knowing who my parents were.
I see.
Then I think you have every right to be proud of your achievements, sir. Thank
you, William.
But if a man is true to himself, he can only advance in the world.
My thoughts entirely, sir. That is why I intend to be true to myself by not
following in your footsteps.
Why? I have no aspirations to be a sea captain like you, sir. Now, listen here.
Daniel.
Look, William, you're going to inherit Fraser's.
The Fraser line, the Fraser yard, a knowledge of the sea is essential.
I already know a good deal about the sea, sir, and steam engines.
Enough to talk to engineers, anyway.
But if I'm to make a success of Fraser's, I believe a sound knowledge of
business methods to be much more essential.
The Fraser office hasn't changed since grandfather's time.
Now, Uncle Robert, he's far more enterprising.
Robert? Enterprising? Yes.
He's organised that retail store of his by the most up -to -date method. Well,
the boy may well have a point, Elizabeth.
So tell us, how would you go about reorganising phrases?
To begin with, you have far too many clerks duplicating one another's work.
Well, I feel that you should replace at least two of them with one of the new
typewriting machines.
A noisy typewriter clattering away in my office?
A lady typewriter can produce 90 characters a minute and every letter
Now compare that with the output of a clerk training copperplate.
A lady typewriter.
Never. Your mother's right.
The clerks would never stand for it. Then dismiss them.
No.
But supposing you were given a free hand, could you do it?
I don't know.
Then I suggest you think about it.
An employer has a duty to his employees.
Yes, yes, I know that, sir, but I'm talking about progress. And I'm talking
about obligations.
Such is your obligation to Miss Gaunt.
Sir? She invested a good deal of money in your engineering ideas.
I asked her to keep a tally. I intend to repay her as soon as I can. Now,
Daniel, if William were to come into the office, he could dispense with that
workshop at the back of James's house.
Yes.
Yes, perhaps we should find him a desk at Fraser's.
Thank you, Mama.
You too, Mr Fogarty.
I'll ring for your carriage, Elizabeth.
Thank you, Mr. Samuel.
You have now received the rules of conduct for this establishment, and I
you strongly to study them diligently.
In your own time, if you don't mind.
Now, as new members of the staff, I should point out to you that the retail
trade offers abundant opportunity to the industrious.
But I can assure you, and mark me well, that there is no place in it for the
indolent. Is that clear?
Good. Now, Mr Samuel will draw your particular attention to the more
regulations. Thank you.
Rule 10.
Gossiping, loitering or making any unnecessary noise is strictly
For which, hence, the offender will be fined half a crown.
Rule 14.
For allowing a customer to leave the premises unattended without calling the
attention of a superintendent.
Fine sixpence.
Rule 22.
For leaving a counter unattended.
Six pence.
And rule 31, for giving wrong measure or sending out wrong goods.
Nine pence.
And the assistant to make good the loss incurred. Is that clear?
Good. Now you may go and attend to your duties. Mr. Sumner will conduct you to
your respective departments.
What is your opinion of this?
It's fine quality workmanship. Where did you get it?
From a woman. I thought you'd be interested.
She's outside.
Oh, all right then. Fetch her in.
No, no, no. Please, take that back to the stockroom.
Samuel, how many times have I told you that the windows will not be dressed
while customers are in the shop?
I mean, it creates a bad impression. I'm sorry, Father. All right.
All right.
It is very fine workmanship.
Where did you get it?
Please? Where did you buy?
Oh, you buy, I sell, yes?
Foreign. Yes.
Samuel, you've learned languages. Ask her in her own.
Vous รชtes Francais?
Deutsch? Ja, ich bin Deutsch -Polnisch.
But I speak English.
Then why didn't you say so in the first place?
What is your name and where do you live?
My name is Maritza Ridge.
I come from Poland.
I go on a big ship to America with my brother.
My brother, he speak very good English.
Where did you get the lace?
Oh, I make.
You made this yourself?
Yeah. It's very fine.
You buy?
Oh, no, Sarah, this is a waste of time. I mean, she couldn't possibly keep us
supplied. Oh, Robert, you've always emphasised the importance of quality,
good lace makers are very hard to find these days.
Well, she works her way diagonally.
Cardonnet is rather fine, but it sets the outlines off boldly.
Oh, yes, I think, Sarah, you're right. I mean, anyone would pay good money for
work of this quality.
Do you think we could persuade her to work for us?
My alterations department has a crying need for somebody skilled in the art of
lacework. Well, she's going to America.
To what purpose? To find work?
She can do just as well here and save herself the journey. She could earn good
wages. 15 shillings a week.
And with your nimble fingers, a good deal more.
You wish for me to work here?
Oh, it's good. Father, I really don't think... You'll be well taken care of.
you'll earn good money.
Samuel, show her around the sermon.
You like it?
It's nothing but a sweatshop.
Maritza, you must not think of working here. You will be treated like a slave.
Sklavi, go to America.
No, I speak with my brother first.
How much?
For all? Mm -hmm.
Here. Take this.
For America.
It's gold.
Oh, so much.
Oh, and they work here.
No, you must not.
Why, have all of you persuaded her?
Yes. I work here for 15 shillings. Good. That's a wise decision, child. You'll
not regret it.
Well done, lad. Well done.
You are not going.
Maritza, speak English.
In America, it is necessary. We all speak English.
Do I not teach?
I not go to America.
You will go to America.
Passage money is paid.
Look.
Where did you get that?
Three golden English sovereigns. For lace.
It's too much money.
The English are rich. More rich than Americana.
Here, you take for family. I earn more.
No. We go to America as family. We stay together.
That is our strength.
I stay here.
You are too young, little sister.
Samuel will look after me.
Samuel?
Who is this Samuel?
O 'Neden.
His father owns the shop. His uncle owns this ship.
He's a very important young man.
And I think he likes me very much.
And some give you money?
Who lays?
Give to me.
I will speak with Mr. O 'Neill.
Oh, Samuel, it's lovely.
Truly lovely. Thank you. Thank you so much. It's quite exquisite, Samuel.
did you buy it?
Oh, from a street peddler.
Named Maritza Ridge.
My information is correct.
Well, young man, what have you to say for yourself?
I have nothing to hide, sir. I bought it from her tray.
According to Mr. Ridge, you tried to entice his sister to stay ashore by
showering her with gold.
Leave the shower. Oh, please, Lettie.
To what Miss Gaunt says, I'd time you were in bed anyway.
When will you stop treating me like a child, father?
I'm almost a woman.
How much did you say all this lace was worth, Letty?
Well, it's a very good quality. I don't know, 25, maybe 30 shillings.
This young fool offers her almost double. Uncle, I was only doing her a
kindness.
Mama was going to pay her 15 shillings a week to work as a seamstress.
Well, that sewing room's nothing but a sweatshop.
So I begged Maritza not to accept the offer, but to continue to America.
You acted from motives of misguided sentimentality.
On top of which, you caused a lot of mischief.
Mischief? How?
How? Because half those emigrants were all for marching ashore and settling
here, convinced the streets of Liverpool are paved with gold.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry, Uncle. I just did what I thought was best.
I'm sure you did.
I wonder if you would have offered her three sovereigns if she'd been a grey
-haired old crone.
Here, take your money.
So what about... I'll see that she gets it back.
Now, it's getting late. Say goodnight to Miss Gaunt.
See yourself out.
Yes, sir.
Goodnight, Miss Gaunt. Goodnight, sir.
The young fool almost cost me a fortune.
What? How?
What if those emigrants had marched up and stayed here, eh? Fine start that
would have been to my emigrant trade.
It's a good trade, too, you know.
They walk on at one end and walk off the other. No loading, no unloading. Quick
turnabout and then back to the next lot.
Those poor immigrants.
They're treated like cattle and everyone exploits them. Not me.
They pay a fair price and they get fair treatment.
And you make a great deal of money into the bargain.
Well, of course.
I'm in the business of making money.
So are they.
Why do you think they're going to America to make money?
I'm helping them.
James. Has it ever occurred to you that you can help people without making money
out of them?
Perhaps I should get another conscience.
I can't take her place.
Neither do I intend to.
I don't expect you to.
Just remain yourself.
Another proposal, James?
Miss Gaunt, I intend to marry you.
Mr. O 'Nedin, I intend that you should.
When I'm ready.
I quarrel with my brother. I come through the windows.
Maritza, you cannot possibly stay here.
I'm not going to America.
I stay and work for your father. No, look, this is all my fault. He pays me
shillings each week. Yes, but you don't understand that for 15 shillings a week,
they will work you very, very hard.
It'll be a hard life.
That is not important.
I like you, Samuel.
Yes, I like you, Maritza.
That is why I say you must go to America.
Oh, soon there will be plenty Polish people there.
Yes, exactly. So you'll be with your own kind. But all will want work.
When all want work, wages are low. I stay here. I'm the only Polish person. I
make good money.
Yes, but... So you will speak with your father.
Oh, Samuel, you're most kind.
Not another word, sir, not another word.
And as for you, you will leave these premises immediately before I bring the
switch to you.
Pretty, was she? Oh, like a ripe plum.
And she kissed you?
On the lips?
No.
Poor girl was positively demented with passion.
My word, you do see life, Samuel.
And after last night, I'm to see a deal more of it.
Oh?
Father's decided to pack me off to a department store in New York.
Oh, Lord, I must go.
Good day, William. How do you do, Uncle?
Is all well at home?
Yes, sir, it's been agreed. I'm to work in the office.
Oh, capital, capital.
I've devised a new systems ledger for the control of stock, when to reorder,
etc. I'd value your opinion on it sometime. Oh, thank you, sir. Oh, excuse
William!
Why, Charlotte!
Miss Gaunt?
You've been back two whole days and haven't called on us.
Well... The fact of the matter is, I... You must come back and have tea with us,
mustn't you, Lattie?
Yes. Yes, I suppose.
Yes, of course. That is if you'd like to, William.
Yes. Yes, I would. Very much.
Thank you.
Why can I not work in England?
Because I say so.
I'm head of family and I say no.
But my hands are good, my fingers quick.
In England, I learn plenty money. In America, who knows?
Maritza, you cannot work in Liverpool because Mr. Robert will not permit it.
Stay on ship. My last word.
It's not safe.
Very bad.
England is a small, small country with many, many people.
America is a big country with few people.
It's better, no?
Do not regret it.
In America already are many Polish people.
One day you marry a nice Polish boy.
Make family to grow up in America, eh? And you marry a rich American lady, eh?
We will see.
I have to tell you because I didn't want you to think ill of me. Oh, I'm so glad
you did, William.
Father never should have told you to stay away.
I'm old enough to choose my own friend. That's exactly how I feel. And to lead
my own life.
Let her keep saying I'm grown up. For all that, she still treats me like a
child. Why shouldn't we be friends?
I quite agree, but it will be difficult for us to meet.
Yes.
Especially when Papa's home.
Perhaps we could find a secret meeting place.
Hello, Charlotte.
Is there anything I can... Sit yourself down.
You've decided to finish with your engineering work, then, William?
Yes, but how did you know? Mr. Fogarty paid me a visit this morning.
Oh. May I ask why?
Well, he was most insistent that he repay me for all the money I've spent on
your engineering.
But you have no right. I've promised to repay you myself.
Oh, I think that's his intention. From your allowance.
Thank you, Charlotte.
Betty! Father!
In here, Father.
Don't fatigue.
Hello, William.
Surprised to see you here.
I'm very willing to be, James. Oh, did you?
Well, no need to go on my account. I was about to leave anyway.
Well, the engineers have finished those repairs. We can sail on the tide.
Quite complimentary they were about some of those modifications you suggested.
Yes, they're going to replace that pipe.
And that's all we've done, sir? Well, all that was needed.
But I still feel the fault lies elsewhere.
Oh, I think the engineers are qualified to know.
Yes, sir.
Well, I hope I'm proved wrong.
Lesley, can I walk to the corner with William?
Yes. Yes, of course. If you come straight back.
Thank you for the tea, Miss Gordon.
Goodbye, Uncle.
Goodbye, William.
If you like, I'll stand on the front doorstep and watch them all the way to
corner.
We could have some rare battles, you and I.
Again, it's time for your English lesson.
Already, some of you know many words.
Soon you will know more.
By America, also know a little English.
In ten days, we will be in America.
Ten days.
No, only speak English. That is the way to learn.
This is Onidin ship.
When you write to other Polish peoples, you tell them travel on Onidin ship.
Mr. Onidin, make me agent.
This is Onidin ticket.
Ticket. Ticket.
Steady 30 knots.
Dead on course.
Weather holes will be breaking a pure record.
The capital cook is Long Charlie, but his duff sinks like lead.
Why have three helpings?
Better belly burst than good food waste, my old grandmother used to tell me.
That engine's homing sweetly.
Pity Master William's not here to see it.
William, you'll just have to explain it in simpler terms.
Very well.
This valve is essentially a one -way device.
It allows steam pressure to flow in one direction only.
When the valve is open and steam flows through, close the valve and you stop
flow. The control is by means of a small wheel which opens or shuts the device.
And you say that that can lead to a build -up in pressure? Yes, that is why
bypass systems were devised like this.
You could then open the second valve and draw off the steam.
Like the points of a railway line? Yes.
Now on the shear water, the valves open and close automatically by means of
tension springs.
Now in time, these are bound to corrode.
And when that happens, the valve jams shut.
You mean it can happen again?
Yes. There will be a build -up in pressure and eventually... And then
be an explosion. Yes, the pipe will burst.
Suddenly came to me this morning.
William, can't we let them know?
How? By now they must be in mid -Atlantic.
The engineer wants to shut down to half speed.
We are taking a pair of old families.
Very well.
Half speed.
Engine room, shut down to half speed.
Keep her steady there.
I can still see you have plenty of pressure.
She's not getting through.
Hello? In the room, empty room.
Must be mad.
He stopped the engines.
We're losing series weight. We'll float too.
Don't go below.
I can't steam engines.
It's ready to make salesman fun.
Aye, aye, sir.
I'm not there, I want my pampers up hot!
Sales are drawing well, sir.
We'll make it about 8 o 'clock.
Aye, sir.
It'll be five days before we make landfall.
Are you going to do it now, sir?
Aye.
I don't believe it any longer.
It makes you sleep.
No, it doesn't.
It's an ordinary room.
It's not in the bank.
Block Island.
I'll be entering the sound within the hour. The land of the free.
The sea's the only place a man can be free.
Free as the wind.
Only under converse, Captain.
Oh, now look at that.
All right, Mr. Morgan, that'll be all.
How's the girl, sir?
Fully recovered.
She'll have to find a new trade.
Lucky she didn't lose her whole hand.
Aye.
You know, Bates, I've been thinking.
That steam engine's let me down twice in this voyage.
You know what I think of popping billies?
Cost a lot of money to go over to steamers, and yet the emigrant trader is
trader. So the answer is, give it up.
Not on your life.
No, when I want a steamship in future, I'll charter one.
Let somebody else have the headaches. Right.
Where's Long Charlie and my breakfast?
for Bergerac. That's after the break.
