Any more for the skylark? 0:25:460:25:50I wish they'd leave off sending those up. 0:26:050:26:08It's by the light enough to read by 0:26:080:26:10or else it's as black as the inside of a cow! 0:26:100:26:13Can't see a sign of the other boats. Hope the old man got away all right. 0:26:160:26:20He was cutting it pretty fine. How about the mate's boat? 0:26:200:26:23Anyone see Mr Wilson get away? 0:26:240:26:27Well, boys, we ought to be picked up pretty soon. 0:26:290:26:32Bound to be ships about. 0:26:320:26:34Nothing more from the convoy, sir. 0:26:430:26:45-Keep listening just the same. -Very good, sir. 0:26:450:26:47Well, we better go and have a look for them. 0:26:490:26:51That was their position, as near as I can make it. 0:26:510:26:53We'll sweep a 15-mile radius and see what we can find. 0:26:530:26:56-Let's hope we don't find the raider. -You mean hope she doesn't find us! 0:26:560:27:00# She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes 0:27:080:27:13# She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes 0:27:140:27:20# She'll be coming round the mountain 0:27:200:27:23# She'll be coming round the mountain... # 0:27:230:27:26Can't you keep her head on? I'm tasting the soles of me boots! 0:27:260:27:29I can keep her head on to one sea but not two to once. 0:27:290:27:33# Oh, she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes... # 0:27:370:27:43That's 20 times she's been round the bloody mountain! 0:27:430:27:47Why can't you be sick like everybody else? 0:27:470:27:49You know me, Bos, I'm only sick when I smell paint. 0:27:490:27:52WHISTLE BLOWS 0:28:060:28:09All right, sir? 0:28:170:28:18Morning, Captain. Welcome aboard. Smith. 0:28:180:28:22Morning, Captain. I'm Waite. San Demetrio. 0:28:220:28:24Have you seen anything of my other boat? 0:28:240:28:25I've got your chief's mate and his party aboard. 0:28:250:28:27-They're down below having some grub.-Fine. 0:28:270:28:30-Doing a brisk trade this morning, eh? -90-odd up till now. 0:28:300:28:34I'm crowded out below. 0:28:340:28:36Anyone's watch still going? 0:28:520:28:54Well, it must be breakfast time, anyway. 0:28:560:28:58-What do you think, Chief? Shall I issue some more grub?-By all means. 0:28:590:29:02Not for me, though. 0:29:020:29:05-How about a nice juicy steak?-Oh. 0:29:050:29:09How about a nice juicy biscuit? 0:29:090:29:11Hey, you better turn it in, hadn't you? 0:29:160:29:19It's all right, Bos, I'd rather finish my spell. 0:29:190:29:22-What's the matter, chum? Ain't you hungry?-I left me teeth on board! 0:29:280:29:32Never mind. I'll lend you mine when I finished! 0:29:340:29:37Shall I split them up into proper watches 0:29:370:29:39when they finished eating, Chief? 0:29:390:29:42I think you should. We may be rowing for a long time. 0:29:420:29:46Mr Hawkins, as senior deck officer, you're in charge of this boat. 0:29:470:29:52If you want advice about anything you're welcome, 0:29:520:29:55but don't think you have to ask me. 0:29:550:29:58I can take orders as well as give them. 0:29:580:30:00Thank you, Chief. I'm glad you're here, all the same. 0:30:000:30:03More than I am. 0:30:040:30:06A ship! 0:30:110:30:13Double banker. 0:30:230:30:24She's a long way off. We'll have to pull like hell. 0:30:290:30:33-How about rigging the sail? -How about it? 0:30:330:30:36In this weather, you'd lose the canvas before you'd set it. 0:30:360:30:39They'll never see that in this weather. 0:30:480:30:51What we need is a pillar of smoke by day, like those blokes in the Bible. 0:30:560:31:00No good! She's almost hull-down. 0:31:060:31:09They must keep their eyes in the backs of their heads. 0:31:150:31:17In the backs of their trousers, if you ask me. 0:31:170:31:20What's the matter, Yank? Run out of songs? 0:31:460:31:48Saving my breath, pal. 0:31:480:31:51If I were you, I'd save that too - you might be needing it. 0:31:510:31:54I'd give a lot for a fag. Anybody got one? 0:31:560:31:59That's the best I can do. 0:32:010:32:03Half a minute, chum. 0:32:030:32:06My feet still hurt. 0:32:190:32:21Men who are off watch eat first. 0:33:050:33:08Right, change over. 0:33:280:33:29Quick as you can, boys. 0:33:390:33:41Try and keep an even stroke, son. It's easier for all hands. 0:34:020:34:06Here, lean your head against this. 0:34:140:34:16-How's that?-Fine. 0:34:200:34:22I think I'll have a nap. 0:34:220:34:24-It's cold enough for a top hat, isn't it?-Ah. 0:34:270:34:30What wouldn't I give to be kipped down snuggled alongside 0:34:300:34:33the old woman? 0:34:330:34:34-Here, what's today?-Wednesday. 0:34:340:34:37Wednesday? Early closing. 0:34:370:34:39Wednesdays when I'm home, the missus shuts up shop. 0:34:390:34:42We've got a little newsagents and tobacconists. 0:34:420:34:45And off we go to the pictures. 0:34:450:34:47When we come out, we go and have one. 0:34:470:34:50-What wouldn't I give to be having a pint in the Old Elephant now?-Yeah. 0:34:500:34:53-If it's still there. -Course it's still there. 0:34:530:34:56-Oh, jeez, it's cold! -Cold? This is only November. 0:34:570:35:01What'll he do when the winter comes? 0:35:010:35:04Oh. 0:35:110:35:12I was dreaming I was at home. What a place to wake up in. 0:35:120:35:16Sorry I woke you, but I was getting the cramps. 0:35:160:35:18I dreamt Jeanie was trying on those stockings and they were too big. 0:35:180:35:21Don't worry about them. You'll never see them again. 0:35:210:35:23-How you feeling now?-Not so bad. I've still got a pain in my belly. 0:35:230:35:27Hey! 0:35:320:35:33-What's biting you, son? -I thought I saw something. 0:35:330:35:37-Where?-Up there. 0:35:370:35:38-Look! It's a plane come to look for us!-Where?-There! 0:35:400:35:44-Bos, get the flare out! -Where is the flare? 0:35:450:35:48That's no plane, that's bloody Jupiter! 0:35:560:35:58I'm afraid he's right. 0:36:050:36:07Hey, Chief! Do you see what I see? 0:36:500:36:53Ship! 0:37:040:37:06Ship! 0:37:090:37:11Wake up, chum. Ship! 0:37:110:37:13Mack, what about a sail? 0:37:200:37:22I think maybe we can manage. 0:37:220:37:24She hasn't altered course yet. 0:37:340:37:36-Hey!-Hi there! 0:37:380:37:39Making a lot of smoke, isn't she? Almost looks as if she's on fire. 0:37:410:37:45She's on fire, right enough. 0:37:520:37:54A tanker on fire... 0:37:560:37:59with a half-painted funnel. 0:37:590:38:01You never did finish painting that funnel, did you, Yank? 0:38:020:38:06-Yes, it's her all right. -Good for her. 0:38:140:38:18Though why she's not at the bottom of the sea, I can't imagine. 0:38:180:38:22I never thought we'd see her again. 0:38:250:38:27I say, Chief... 0:38:300:38:32Well, what do you know? 0:38:320:38:34Two days freezing to death on this boat 0:38:340:38:36and we're right back where we started from. 0:38:360:38:38Listen, boys. 0:38:420:38:44Lord knows why she hasn't gone sky-high, 0:38:440:38:47but the fact remains she hasn't. 0:38:470:38:49Now, the Chief and I think we might manage to reboard her. 0:38:490:38:53If we can, we've a sporting chance of being spotted 0:38:530:38:56and taken off before she either blows up or goes to the bottom. 0:38:560:39:00Well, she hasn't gone up yet. Perhaps she won't go up at all. 0:39:000:39:03No, there's no use pretending it's not risky. 0:39:030:39:06But it's a risk either way. 0:39:060:39:08You may get blown sky-high there, or you can freeze to death here. 0:39:080:39:12It's just a matter of taste. 0:39:120:39:14-Well, I'd sooner fry than freeze any day.-Me too.-So would I. 0:39:140:39:17I don't see we're so badly off here now we're under sail. 0:39:170:39:20It seems to me that... 0:39:200:39:21Aye, it's all right now, but if it comes on to blow again 0:39:210:39:24and we have to take down the sail, then you'll have to row again 0:39:240:39:27and how will you like that? 0:39:270:39:28Bos? 0:39:280:39:30I doubt if we can last much longer in this boat. 0:39:300:39:33We've got three sick men already and we've got to think of them. 0:39:330:39:35Another night like last night would put paid to them, 0:39:350:39:38and damn near finish the rest of us. 0:39:380:39:40Yes. 0:39:400:39:42What about it? 0:39:420:39:43Well, if you ask me, she's come along and found us. 0:39:450:39:49-She's a good ship.-Hear, hear! 0:39:490:39:50-That's right.-Me too. 0:39:500:39:53Good. 0:39:530:39:55Mack, bring us round under her stern, 0:39:550:39:56it'll be more sheltered in her lee. 0:39:560:39:58Down mainsail! 0:40:160:40:18Down foresail! 0:40:230:40:25Chief, you follow me, then get the sick men up. 0:40:290:40:32Below there! Make this first! 0:40:580:41:00-Will I go up behind him and take his weight?-Up you go. 0:41:050:41:07All right, son, take it easy. I've got you. 0:41:140:41:17-Bos, get the rest up. Going to have a look round.-Aye-aye. 0:41:220:41:26-Look at that!-I can see, sir. 0:41:300:41:32More like a volcano than a ship! 0:41:430:41:46Why in the world hasn't she gone up? 0:41:460:41:48Lord knows. Unless there's so much pressure inside the tanks 0:41:480:41:51because of the heat that the flames can't flash back. 0:41:510:41:55Like a gas jet, eh? 0:41:550:41:56What do you think, Chief? 0:41:560:42:00Well, she hasn't gone up yet. 0:42:000:42:02I should say there's a good even chance 0:42:020:42:03-we can get the fires out before she does.-Right. 0:42:030:42:06-Better get the boat up, then. We may need her.-Oh, I hope not. 0:42:060:42:09-That's the lot, sir.-Good. Now here's what we'll do. 0:42:110:42:14-Rum, sir!-What?-Left over from Saturday's issue. 0:42:140:42:16Nearly full. Well done, youngster. 0:42:160:42:18Now listen, everyone. We've got to get the boat up. 0:42:210:42:23Bos, Jones and two men, get the davit squared up. 0:42:230:42:26The remainder, as soon as you've had your rum, find some buckets 0:42:260:42:29and get started on the fires on the well deck. 0:42:290:42:32Stay up there, you two. 0:42:430:42:45Get into chains. 0:42:450:42:47Oh! 0:43:140:43:15If you don't hurry up, I'm going to bash my brains out 0:43:170:43:20in my own engine room! 0:43:200:43:22The swine's stuck. 0:43:220:43:24That's got her! 0:43:260:43:27Davit's all squared up, Mr Hawkins. 0:43:380:43:40Have to drop this for a bit. Man the poles. 0:43:400:43:43Heave when she gets to the top of a wave. 0:43:480:43:51Ready! 0:43:530:43:55Heave! 0:43:550:43:57Heave! 0:43:590:44:01Heave! 0:44:040:44:05No use! All hands on the forward end. 0:44:160:44:19Ready! 0:44:260:44:27Heave! 0:44:270:44:29Heave! 0:44:290:44:31That's torn it! 0:44:400:44:42Told you we should've stayed in the boat! 0:44:440:44:46Why the hell did we come back on board?! 0:44:460:44:49If you want the boat, you'd better swim for her. 0:44:490:44:52Housden, nip below. Tell the chief the bad news. 0:44:520:44:55Well, we're stuck here now till someone spots us. 0:44:560:44:59Better get back on the fires before she blows us all to glory. 0:44:590:45:02-Bad enough losing the boat, we've lost the stores in her as well.-Yes. 0:45:040:45:08Jamieson! See if you can find anything in the way of grub. 0:45:100:45:14-Very good, sir.-Have a look at the water tanks while you're at it. 0:45:140:45:17Chief, this is hopeless! 0:45:290:45:30-Might as well try to put it out by spitting on it.-Don't worry. 0:45:300:45:34-I may be able to raise enough steam for the hoses.-You can, eh? 0:45:340:45:37-What's it like below, then? -Like a sewer, 0:45:370:45:39-but if I can take my men off you, I think we can fix something up.-Fine. 0:45:390:45:44-Davies, Boyle.-Come along with me. -How long will it take you? 0:45:440:45:48-About four hours.-We'll try to hold our own here till you're ready. 0:45:480:45:51Just in time. Give her a kick. 0:45:590:46:01You would have a belly-ache at a time like this. 0:46:150:46:18Come on, let me have a go. 0:46:180:46:20ENGINE STARTS 0:46:310:46:33So far, so good. Now for the fuel pump. 0:46:360:46:39Food's ready, sir. 0:46:420:46:44You two! Break off and eat. 0:46:440:46:46-This the best you can do? -A bit burnt, I'm afraid. 0:46:560:46:59They were in the fridge. 0:46:590:47:01The fridge is on fire, you see. 0:47:010:47:03What a ship. 0:47:030:47:04The water's all right. 0:47:040:47:07-What's this?-That's a steak. 0:47:070:47:09Better try and find my teeth. 0:47:130:47:15That ought to do the trick. Get your hose couple onto the pump. 0:47:250:47:28That's more like it, Chief. 0:47:360:47:39Bos, you can take half the men and start on the fires amidships. 0:47:390:47:43Very good, sir. Come on, Yank. 0:47:430:47:45We'll split up into watches and carry on through the night. 0:47:450:47:49Let's hope there's no U-boats around. 0:47:490:47:51Our blackout's none too good. 0:47:510:47:52OK. That seems to have done it. 0:48:210:48:23-Hello, Jock.-Morning, sir. 0:48:300:48:32What have you found? 0:48:320:48:34Six tins of condensed milk, sir. 0:48:340:48:36And this. I bought it in Galveston, sir, to take back to my granny 0:48:370:48:40in Helensburgh. The old lady feels the tea rationing pretty badly. 0:48:400:48:44And how are you going to make tea? 0:48:440:48:45I was just going to light the range when you came in. 0:48:450:48:48And blow yourself to blazes! 0:48:480:48:49Don't you realise the ship's full of petrol fumes? 0:48:490:48:52Never heard about the man who looked for a gas leak with a lighted match? 0:48:520:48:55Never mind, son. It was a good idea all the same. 0:48:570:49:00-Morning, Mr Hawkins.-Morning, Chief. -I see you've got the fires out. 0:49:130:49:16Yes, thanks to your hoses. The next job's to keep them out. 0:49:160:49:20-Ow!-That was a good 'un! 0:49:260:49:28Ah, it doesn't matter. 0:49:280:49:30I'm so cold I can't feel it. 0:49:300:49:31I've set lookouts. 0:49:320:49:34All we can do now is to hope she keeps afloat till somebody spots us. 0:49:340:49:36I sounded the double-bottom tank. She's not making any water. 0:49:360:49:39That's a comfort. 0:49:390:49:41-How's Boyle?-Not too good. But we are at least out of the weather. 0:49:410:49:45Yes, you've got something there, Chief. 0:49:450:49:47-It's the cold that gets you down more than anything.-Breakfast, sir. 0:49:470:49:50-Breakfast!-Such as it is. 0:49:520:49:55Bos! Grab yourself a carrot! I'll take over your job. 0:49:570:50:01-What you got there, Jock?-Cold water. Want some?-No, thank you. 0:50:010:50:05I don't want to rust me guts. 0:50:050:50:07Oh! What wouldn't I give for a cup of tea? 0:50:100:50:12Not a hope. 0:50:120:50:14Did you never hear of the man who looked for a gas leak 0:50:150:50:18with a lighted match? 0:50:180:50:19HE SNIFFS THE AIR 0:50:460:50:48-Morning, Bos.-Hi, Yank. 0:51:490:51:51You're the very man for this job. 0:51:510:51:53Boatswains never forget. 0:51:540:51:56-Mr Hawkins, sir.-Yes! 0:52:010:52:04Chief sends his compliments. All hands to tea. 0:52:040:52:06What? 0:52:060:52:08-Tea out! -Hey, boys. Only four mugs. 0:52:230:52:26-You'll have to take it in turns. -Not much in your line, yeah. 0:52:260:52:29What is this? Magic? 0:52:290:52:31Well, we were all so damn cold I thought I'd chance my arm for once. 0:52:310:52:35Talk about a watched pot. 0:52:350:52:36I never knew a kettle take so long to boil. 0:52:360:52:38Make the most of it, boys. Can't take a risk like that again. 0:52:380:52:43-Hey, leave some for my lads down below.-Yes, sir. 0:52:430:52:45That's fine, boys. You've done a good job. 0:52:510:52:54Glad you like it, Chief. 0:52:540:52:56-Took plenty of bilge-diving to get it clear.-I'll bet. 0:52:560:52:59Here, drink it while it's hot. 0:52:590:53:01You look like death. 0:53:010:53:04Your pal's right. You better have a rest. 0:53:040:53:07It's only the cold got into my inside. 0:53:070:53:09I'll be all right when I've had this tea. 0:53:090:53:11-Can't leave the deck in a mess like this.-Well, take it easy. 0:53:110:53:14I don't want any of you crocking up. 0:53:140:53:16What, with you and Davies having pains in your guts. 0:53:160:53:19And Mr Willey not being sure whether his feet still belong to him or not. 0:53:190:53:22The place is more like a sick bay than an engine room. 0:53:220:53:25But there's plenty of work still ahead. 0:53:250:53:26How's things up here? 0:53:290:53:30Well, I've checked the lube oil system - OK. 0:53:300:53:33Water jackets and piston cooling, likewise OK. 0:53:330:53:36I've been through all the accommodation, sir. 0:53:510:53:54A cockroach couldn't live below here. 0:53:540:53:56The only cabins fit to use are starboard aft. 0:53:560:53:58-Any of the old gear left? -Not a sausage, sir. 0:53:580:54:00-Mr Hawkins inside?-Yes, Chief. 0:54:000:54:02-I've got some news for you. -Not bad, I hope. 0:54:040:54:07No, I don't think so. Just that I can get her underway. 0:54:070:54:10-Get her underway?-Why not? The main engines are undamaged. 0:54:120:54:16Wait a minute. No bridge, 0:54:170:54:20no charts, 0:54:200:54:21no wireless, 0:54:210:54:23no signal flags, 0:54:230:54:25no compass, 0:54:250:54:26and even if we had a compass, no steering gear. 0:54:260:54:29What about the auxiliary steering gear? 0:54:290:54:31What's got into them? 0:54:400:54:41Running races to keep themselves warm! 0:54:410:54:44Well, there's half a wheel. 0:54:520:54:54More than you can say for this. 0:54:540:54:56It doesn't matter much. This is jammed anyway. 0:54:580:55:00-I should say the bulkhead below is buckled.-Think you can free it? 0:55:020:55:06I can have a try. In any case, we can always steer by the winch. 0:55:060:55:08Chief, if we can steer her, we might get the old girl home. 0:55:100:55:13No charts, no compass. 0:55:130:55:15You get the engines going, I'll fetch you up somewhere, 0:55:150:55:18if it's only the North Pole. 0:55:180:55:19That's the idea. Don't want anyone breaking his neck. 0:55:310:55:34We're shorthanded enough as it is. 0:55:340:55:36You can have any tune your like for a penny. 0:55:380:55:41Now try. 0:55:510:55:53No good. 0:55:560:55:58-Still stuck, sir.-No use in fiddling with that. 0:55:590:56:01We should be some time yet. 0:56:010:56:03Here, son. 0:56:030:56:04Make this fast to the binnacle. 0:56:040:56:06What are you up to, Chief? 0:56:090:56:11Oh, just a little idea of mine while we're waiting. 0:56:110:56:14See you later! 0:56:220:56:24One for room service, two for valet 0:56:260:56:28and three for the chambermaid. 0:56:280:56:30Ow! 0:56:300:56:31Hey! What's the big idea? Want to electrocute me?! 0:56:320:56:35Yank, take that compass away. He's got a face like a funeral. 0:56:370:56:41It's OK for dead reckoning. 0:56:410:56:42Mr Hawkins, come and have a look at this. 0:56:420:56:45-Fairy lights?-Fairy lights, my foot. It's your engine room telegraph. 0:56:490:56:53Taff, switch on the top one! 0:56:530:56:55Ahead. And if you flicker it, it means full speed. 0:56:580:57:02Middle one! 0:57:020:57:04Stop. 0:57:040:57:05Now the bottom one. 0:57:050:57:07Astern. 0:57:080:57:10Neat but not gaudy, eh? 0:57:100:57:12-Jones? Mast to hands aft. -Right, sir. 0:57:120:57:16While we're waiting for Willey, 0:57:160:57:18-I'll see if the men agree with us about the course.-Fine. 0:57:180:57:20Listen to me, all of you. 0:57:270:57:29-Thanks to the chief, we're almost ready to get underway.-Good for him. 0:57:290:57:33-Some say good old chief. -Bring-'em-back Pollard, huh? 0:57:330:57:36We're not back yet. 0:57:360:57:38I'll do my best to steer her in the right direction, 0:57:380:57:41but it'll be by guess and by God. 0:57:410:57:44Now, what I wanted to talk to you about is this - 0:57:440:57:46we've got to decide which is the right direction. 0:57:460:57:49If we hold on our original course for the Clyde, 0:57:500:57:52we're heading for U-boats, mines, bombers and all that. 0:57:520:57:56If we turn round and head west, 0:57:560:57:58we'll probably be safe from them, 0:57:580:58:00but we'll be steaming into the weather instead of running before it. 0:58:000:58:04And we've got a hole in the bows, remember. 0:58:040:58:07Well, what about it? 0:58:080:58:10Home sweet home for me. 0:58:130:58:14Not me. Had enough trouble for one trip. 0:58:140:58:16I signed on to get to England, not for an ocean cruise. 0:58:180:58:21Bos? 0:58:210:58:23I look at it this way - we set out to take her home 0:58:230:58:25and we've got it halfway already. 0:58:250:58:27Doesn't seem much sense turning round and taking it back again. 0:58:270:58:30-Bos is right.-Hear! Hear! 0:58:300:58:33-Right, east it is.-Mr Hawkins? 0:58:340:58:38-We've freed the steering gear.-Fine. 0:58:380:58:40-Set lookout, Bos.-Aye-aye. 0:58:400:58:42Housden, Jones, up here. 0:58:420:58:44-The next question is, which is east? -Too true. 0:58:470:58:51Chief! What's the time by your clock down there? 0:58:560:58:59-It says half past two.-Thanks. 0:58:590:59:02Half past two. 0:59:060:59:08Looks about right. 0:59:090:59:11-Let's see... 2.30.-November. 0:59:130:59:15Latitude, say...52. 0:59:150:59:18Sun's about south, south-west. 0:59:180:59:21-That makes our head more or less due south.-That's it. 0:59:210:59:24-Here you are. Tap on the skylight when I give you the signal.-OK. 0:59:270:59:30-Well, Taff, here we go.-We hope. 0:59:310:59:34Housden? 0:59:350:59:37Slow ahead. 0:59:410:59:43As you were. 0:59:581:00:00She would. 1:00:001:00:02Give her a shot astern. 1:00:021:00:04Blimey, Chief! Are we going home stern first? 1:00:151:00:18Starboard. 1:00:191:00:21Well, if she'll go one way, she ought to go the other. 1:00:251:00:28LOUD HISSING 1:00:281:00:30Phew! Just as well. I'd never have heard the last of it. 1:00:551:00:59-She's answering, all right.-Good! 1:01:071:01:09Full speed ahead. 1:01:251:01:27THEY CHEER 1:01:411:01:43-First stop England.-First stop Wales!-First stop Scotland. 1:01:451:01:49It's the Clyde we're bound for! 1:01:491:01:51You're all getting mighty particular. 1:01:511:01:53There's one hell of a lump of land ahead of us there somewhere. 1:01:531:01:56-Good job, too. If we fetch up anywhere between Narvik and Gibraltar, we'll be lucky.-Not half! 1:01:561:02:01WIND BLOWS 1:02:331:02:35Well, even if we could get one glimpse of the North Star, 1:02:401:02:42we'd know if we were on our course. 1:02:421:02:45She'll not clear much tonight. 1:02:451:02:47I'm afraid this nor'westerly will be setting us off to the south more than we've reckoned. 1:02:471:02:52The engines have made 116 miles. 1:02:531:02:55So, allowing for the weather, I should reckon somewhere about 80. 1:02:551:02:5880? 1:02:591:03:01How are you managing down below, Chief? 1:03:011:03:04Willey and Davies in one watch, Boyle with me. 1:03:041:03:07In total, myself and three crocks. 1:03:071:03:09It'll be four crocks if you don't do something about that. 1:03:091:03:12Wish I could, but what? How are things topsides? 1:03:121:03:15Might be worse. Six of us can take a turn at the wheel. 1:03:151:03:18Young Jones is a godsend. 1:03:181:03:21I've made him a watchkeeping officer. 1:03:211:03:24Well, if you trust him so much, why don't you turn in for a bit? 1:03:241:03:26Yeah, not a bad idea. 1:03:261:03:29Do you ever sleep, by the way? 1:03:291:03:31Oh, yes, I've had a mattress put in the engine room so I can be handy if I'm wanted. 1:03:311:03:36Righto. You turn in and rest your feet. 1:04:041:04:07Do 'em good to take your shoes off. 1:04:071:04:08I daren't do that, I'd never get them on again. 1:04:081:04:12Will I give him a drop of this, sir? 1:04:261:04:28Yes. Good job we left some. 1:04:281:04:30-Where am I?-Where I should've sent you two days ago. 1:04:521:04:55Just you lie quiet now. 1:04:551:04:57-How do you feel now, pal?-Cold. 1:04:571:05:01We'll soon have you warm. Central heating, just like the Ritz. 1:05:011:05:04Come on, Yank. 1:05:061:05:08-How is he?-He'll do no more work this trip. 1:05:151:05:20-Pretty bad, eh?-Pretty bad. 1:05:201:05:22I blame myself for letting him go on so long. Tried to make him pack it up, but he wouldn't. 1:05:221:05:27I never knew a little scruff of a man like that could have so much guts. 1:05:271:05:30You never know a lot of things about people till something like this comes along. 1:05:301:05:34He's asleep already, sir. 1:05:361:05:37I'm going to be a bit short-handed down below. 1:05:371:05:40-I'll have to take one of your lads off you.-Who would you like? 1:05:401:05:44-Oh, he'll do.-Righto. 1:05:441:05:46Get yourself below and ask Davies to take you on the oiling round. 1:05:461:05:49Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. 1:05:491:05:51-Any luck?-Sighted the North Star a few minutes ago.-Where about? 1:05:511:05:56-Just above the beam. So I brought her round to head due east.-Good. 1:05:561:06:00-If you watch your wake, it'll help your steering.-OK. 1:06:001:06:03-Steady as she goes, Yank! -Steady as she goes. 1:06:051:06:09-This was your idea, wasn't it? -Yes, but the weather wasn't. 1:06:411:06:45Haven't you blokes finished that job yet? 1:06:451:06:48We thought we had till this lark started. 1:06:481:06:51Fast as we knock 'em in, the sea knocks 'em out again. 1:06:511:06:55Well, don't let it get you down. Just keep plugging away. 1:06:571:07:01-Morning, Chief.-Hello, Mack. Expecting a heatwave? 1:07:011:07:04Oh, I found it in one of the wrecked cabins. 1:07:041:07:08No, we're in for a blow, right enough. 1:07:081:07:10-Seems to suit you cold-blooded islanders.-Chief? 1:07:101:07:14Have you noticed she's a bit more down by the head this morning? 1:07:141:07:16It's that hole in her bowels. 1:07:161:07:18She's shipping water into the fore hold every time she bellies her nose. I don't like it at all. 1:07:181:07:23Well, how's the patient this morning? 1:07:361:07:37I've been trying to make him take some of this, but he can't keep it down. 1:07:371:07:41Are you warm enough, son? 1:07:421:07:44You all right below? Must be short-handed without me. 1:07:471:07:51Don't you worry, your pal here is doing your job. Doing it well too. 1:07:511:07:56That's good. 1:07:591:08:01Come on, Jock. Time we went to work. 1:08:031:08:05-You look like a couple of brass monkeys.-And feel like them too. 1:08:111:08:14Well, what's on the menu this morning? 1:08:171:08:19Can't digest new bread. 1:08:211:08:23Ain't half going to cop it when I get home. 1:08:261:08:28No present for the missus and me breath ponging of onions. 1:08:281:08:31Nothing for my mum and dad either. 1:08:311:08:34I bought some scent for my mother. 1:08:341:08:36That's gone too. 1:08:371:08:39Aye. All that was left was the tea that Jamieson got for his poor old granny. 1:08:411:08:46And we've drunk that. 1:08:471:08:49Well, this won't buy the baby a new pair of shoes. 1:08:511:08:54This is like trying to steer an old cow by the tail. 1:09:201:09:24She's as buoyant as a waterlogged sponge. Hold on! 1:09:241:09:29That's what we call pooping, son. 1:09:381:09:41You hang on here. I'm going topsides. 1:09:411:09:44-Take over, Willey.-Right, Chief. 1:09:441:09:46Come on out of it, you two! Let someone else have a turn. 1:09:491:09:52Chief, she'll break her back if this keeps up. 1:09:551:09:58-Isn't there any way of bumping out the fore hold?-Not a hope. 1:09:581:10:02Steam-line's all shot to blazes. 1:10:021:10:04-Any bones broken?-Don't think so. 1:10:041:10:07No, not so you'd notice it. 1:10:071:10:09At this rate, the fore hold bulkhead's bound to go. 1:10:111:10:14-Then we'll be for it. -You're telling me! 1:10:141:10:16Wait a minute - haven't you got an empty tank amidships? 1:10:201:10:23Yes, number six. 1:10:231:10:24And number nine is full. 1:10:241:10:27If we run the petrol out from nine into six, 1:10:271:10:29-it should alter her trim and bring her bowels up.-Sounds fine. 1:10:291:10:33-Can you do it?-I think so. 1:10:331:10:35It means going down into the forward pump room and opening the block valves. 1:10:351:10:39I'll need someone to help me. 1:10:391:10:41Better be a volunteer. Room's sure to be full of gas, maybe flooded as well. 1:10:411:10:46If you could ease her off, she'll ride better while I'm working. 1:10:461:10:49Right, Chief! 1:10:491:10:50None of your granny knots now or I'll never see Barra again. 1:10:561:11:00Nip below. Tell him to ease the engines down. 1:11:061:11:10Bring her up into the wind. 1:11:101:11:12Chief's going down into the pump room. 1:11:121:11:15-Hello. Where have you sprung from? -I heard you say you need some help. 1:11:351:11:38Good lad. 1:11:381:11:39Argh! Would be my right hand. 1:11:411:11:43-Like me to fix that finger for you? -Wish you could.-Sure, I can fix it. 1:11:431:11:48-Huh?-Come on over here. 1:11:481:11:52Well, it won't do any harm to air that for a minute. 1:11:521:11:55Let's have a look at it. 1:11:591:12:01-It's not going to be a very elegant piece of surgery.-Hey, you're not going to cut it off, are you?-No! 1:12:111:12:16I'm just going to pierce the nail and let some of that pus out. 1:12:161:12:19-Ever tried it before?-Sure. Did it to a horse that had a bad hoof. 1:12:191:12:23-Feels better already. -That's what the horse said! 1:12:351:12:38Here, use this. It's cleaner. 1:12:401:12:42She's riding as easy as I can make her, Chief. 1:12:551:12:59-Look at this. Surgeon as well. -Right, let's get started. 1:12:591:13:03-I'm helping the Chief.-OK, kid. 1:13:031:13:06Better put these on, hadn't you? 1:13:091:13:11No rope. Only follow the ladders. Head on straight down. 1:13:111:13:15-One, two... -SPLASH 1:13:231:13:26Well, there's something there. 1:13:261:13:28All right. Play them down. 1:13:591:14:00Carry on with that. Quick as you can. 1:14:121:14:15-Start that one. -HE COUGHS 1:14:241:14:27HE COUGHS 1:14:311:14:34All right. You go on up. I'll finish it. 1:14:481:14:53HE COUGHS 1:14:531:14:55Hang on! 1:15:141:15:16HE GASPS 1:15:351:15:37You all right? 1:15:491:15:50All you've got to do now... 1:15:541:15:56open your deck valves, wait for it to run through. 1:15:561:15:59Port! 1:16:101:16:11-How do you find her? -Quite a bit livelier. 1:16:121:16:15-I think we've saved the bulkhead. -Not falling into it like she was. 1:16:151:16:19Good. Can I have a word with you? 1:16:191:16:22Take over for a minute, Bos. 1:16:221:16:24That's about all we can do. She'll weather it now, with luck. 1:16:301:16:33Yes, it's about all we can do for the ship. 1:16:331:16:35What's on your mind, Chief? 1:16:351:16:37I've just been along to see Boyle. 1:16:371:16:40How's he getting on? 1:16:401:16:42I've made him is warm and comfortable as I can, 1:16:421:16:45but cold condensed milk for a man in that state... 1:16:451:16:47And he's only the first. 1:16:471:16:49Any one of us might crack up at any minute. 1:16:491:16:51Cold, wet, underfed, tired out. 1:16:511:16:54And a long way to go. 1:16:541:16:57I suppose we couldn't light another fire? A hot meal would make all the difference. 1:16:571:17:01In this weather, she's spilling petrol all over the place. 1:17:011:17:04The poop's chock-full of vapour. It was a risk before. It would be suicide now. 1:17:041:17:08How's your poor feet? 1:17:101:17:11They haven't dropped off yet, but I sometimes wish they would! 1:17:111:17:15-Jamieson?

Thanks very much. 1:29:181:29:21She's on her way to the Clyde. 1:29:211:29:24Ah, look me up a train to Glasgow. 1:29:241:29:26-Well, what do you think of that? -I was thinking this... 1:29:271:29:30if a crew from another ship had brought her home, 1:29:301:29:32they'd stand to get a packet of salvage money. 1:29:321:29:34But as it's our own chaps, the poor devils won't be entitled to a penny. 1:29:341:29:37Trust you to think of the main chance! 1:29:371:29:39-But it doesn't seem fair, does it?-It does not. 1:29:391:29:42Wait a pip, I've a hazy idea 1:29:431:29:45there was a case where the crew reboarded... 1:29:451:29:47And got salvage money for bringing their own ship home? 1:29:471:29:50I've never heard of that. 1:29:501:29:51Well, this fella has. 1:29:511:29:53-One o'clock from Euston, Mr Dodds. -Thanks. Ah, here we are. 1:29:541:29:58Dr Lushington ruled in the case of the Florence 1:29:581:30:00that a crew can reboard its own ship as salvers provided that - 1:30:001:30:03one, the abandonment must be in consequence of danger 1:30:031:30:06by reason of damage to ship and state of the elements. 1:30:061:30:08I imagine that's putting it mildly. 1:30:081:30:10Two, the abandonment must be bona fide 1:30:101:30:12and carried out under the orders of the master. 1:30:121:30:14We know George Waite well enough to be certain about that. 1:30:141:30:16Three, the master must not be among those who reboard the ship. 1:30:161:30:19He wasn't because he's in Newfoundland. 1:30:191:30:21-There you are! They get it. -Oh, here's a bit more. 1:30:211:30:24Should the crew accept the assistance of any other vessel, 1:30:241:30:26the claim for salvage would lie in favour of this vessel 1:30:261:30:29-and not of the original crew. -The tug. The tug!-What tug? 1:30:291:30:32They said they're sending a tug. 1:30:321:30:34You can bet your boots our lads don't know they're entitled to salvage. 1:30:341:30:37And if they take a tow, 1:30:371:30:38the poor fools won't get a brass farthing. 1:30:381:30:40San Demetrio! 1:30:421:30:44Hello, what's this fellow after? 1:30:451:30:48HORN TOOTS 1:30:481:30:50Orders from the Admiralty to tow you into Rothesay. 1:30:501:30:54Well, son, that's the end of your first voyage. 1:30:541:30:57It looks as if I've got to stand you that pint of 4X after all, Yank. 1:30:571:31:01Pint? 1:31:011:31:02Make it a barrel. 1:31:021:31:05Boy, am I going to get stinkin'! 1:31:051:31:08I'd like to know how they expect me to tow a ship your size. 1:31:081:31:12Who the hell's asking you to? 1:31:131:31:15We can manage all right as we are. 1:31:151:31:18Spoken like a sailor. But it'll take you a long time. 1:31:181:31:21-How many knots can you make?-9! 1:31:231:31:26I can make 12. 1:31:261:31:27It is right and proper 1:31:321:31:34and a part of my duty which I shall gladly discharge 1:31:341:31:37to recognise to the full the courage, devotion and sacrifice 1:31:371:31:42of each of these men. 1:31:421:31:44I have decided that there should be shared among them, 1:31:451:31:49in proportion to the services rendered, 1:31:491:31:52salvage money totalling £14,700. 1:31:521:31:56EXCITED MURMURING 1:31:561:31:59And there is another matter that I should like to mention. 1:31:591:32:02The crew have unanimously asked that the ship's Red Ensign 1:32:021:32:06should be presented to Preston, known to them as Yank. 1:32:061:32:10-Stuff to give him, mate.-Oh, Yank. 1:32:111:32:13He will remember, as we in England will remember, 1:32:131:32:16that except when it was lowered for the burial of John Boyle, 1:32:161:32:21this ensign flew at the mainmast of the San Demetrio 1:32:211:32:23throughout her misfortunes. 1:32:231:32:26And that it still flew 1:32:261:32:27when at last she came steaming up the sheltered waters of the Clyde. 1:32:271:32:31I should not like to leave this case without thanking everybody concerned 1:32:331:32:36for having given me the best working day of my life, 1:32:361:32:40in listening to the very modest recital of some gallant gentlemen 1:32:401:32:45concerning a memorable achievement. 1:32:451:32:47Subtitles by Red Bee Media Ltd Download SubtitlesSRTDownload san-demetrio-london.srt ⇓ASSDownload san-demetrio-london.ass ⇓Browse Site ContentFormatsAnimationAppealsBulletinsDiscussion & TalkDocudramasDocumentariesFilmsGames & QuizzesMagazines & ReviewsMakeoversPerformances & EventsPhone-insReadingsRealityTalent ShowsGenresChildren'sDramaLearningFactualMusicNewsReligion & EthicsSportWeatherComedyEntertainmentQuick LinksHomepageAboutContact UsTerms of ServicePrivacy PolicyRemoval / DMCA RequestsSearch
