This is a story
of the East Indies in 1883,

when in the calm
and beautiful Java seas,

there occurred the greatest,

most terrifying spectacle
nature has ever presented

to the sight of man.

The islands were accustomed to
violent earthquakes and volcanoes,

but not to anything like Krakatau.

That island,
3,000 feet high, blew in half,

exploded with a report
heard 5,000 miles away,

and set up a tidal wave which drowned
50,000 inhabitants of neighboring islands.

About three weeks
before that terrible event,

an American full-rigged ship
was sailing the Java seas.

She was the Gerrymander,

commanded by a certain
Captain Boll of Boston.

Mr. Flint, break out
the royals. In this wind, sir?

I said, break out the royals!

Captain Boll,

I feel responsible to the firm of Culver
and Adams for the safety of this ship!

If those topmasts carry away
that pirate will have us!

And if we don't set the royals,
he'll have us anyway.

Mr. Flint, whatever you
are for Culver and Adams,

you're first mate on this ship!

Now pass the word
and make it quick! Aye, aye, sir.

Break out the main royal.
The main royal!

The old man's really piling it on.

I hope she holds together.

Old man knows his business.

Better than being
caught by pirates.

The shooting's getting
mighty close.

O'Brien, when you've stretched
that royal, come aft.

We'll set up our signal gun
with cannon balls. Aye, aye, sir.

Tie 'em up!

Bosun, get the signal
cannon up here on deck!

Aye, aye, sir.

We'll give Mr. Pulo Besar a taste of
his own medicine before we pull away.

That firewater spoils
your aim, Mr. Wilson.

Elevate the muzzle!

More. More. Secure it.

Steady as she goes,
Mr. Reeder.Aye.

There, that'll slow him up.

Helmsman, set the course south
by southwest for Surabaya.

South by southwest!
There's a great man for you.

Great man has to have a heart.

Yeah, and it's a big heart
you'll be needing to fight like him.

You'll never find him
giving up. Never.

Not when there's money
involved. Or his ship, Mr. Wilson.

You wouldn't dare strike
your bosun. It's mutiny.

Against the laws of the sea.

Well, Mr. Flint?
Well, just this, Captain.

Why was Pulo Besar on our trail?

For the usual reason, I imagine.

Doing his job as a pirate,
wanted to gather some loot.

Is that all, Captain?

Yes, that was all.

If you weren't an agent
for Culver and Adams,

I'd throw you off this ship
for the sharks!

Since I am an agent for Culver
and Adams, you'll tolerate me.

You can leave now, Mr. Flint.

I'd like to remind you, Captain,

unless you begin to show a profit

in operating this ship
within six weeks,

you'll be on the beach
without a ship.

And you'll be Captain.
Is that the idea?

I wouldn't object if I were.

It'd almost be worth it
to see you struggling.

You're too new at the game
to know it, Mr. Flint,

but the governors of the Dutch East Indies
are not exactly what you'd call encouraging

to non-Dutch traders.

An American has to be a genius
to show a profit in these waters.

Well, nevertheless, Culver and Adams
expects you to show one and quickly.

Your boat's ready, sir.

Where is he going
this time of night?

I'm sure it has something to do
with that letter he got in Makassar.

Whiskey.

You got my message?
Yeah.

I must speak quickly.

Tuan,

this is part of the Pieterszoon
treasure. Here, take it.

It is one of the ten thousand diamonds.
You can see from the size.

Tuan, since you saved my life
from sharks three years ago...

Get on with it, Gusti.
What about the diamonds?

Yes, Tuan. You give me
present, my life.

Now, I give you present.

Ring will help you to find
hidden diamonds.

They follow me, Tuan.
Shh.

Who follows you?
Men from Ebenezer, the Saint.

Quickly, go to harbor.

Find Chinese junk, Chinese Captain,
Hoppo Two, double-size man.

Buy secret cargo,
he will sell for big price.

Secret cargo give clue you seek.

I must go now.
Goodbye.

Tabe, it is death
to be seen with me.

So the traitor waits for his
death in fear and trembling.

Very appropriate for a traitor.

You're making too much
use of his breath

to tell secret tidings
to our enemies.

Squeeze the rest of
it out of him, Kung.

Ah!

Gusti.

You've killed him.

I wouldn't use that
if I were you, Captain Boll.

You know I have a little influence
with the Dutch. It would be murder.

It will be your word against mine

and I'm a respected trader here.

If you killed me, you would never
trade again in the Dutch East Indies.

You'd very likely hang.

You seem to be forgetting,
Captain, you are a foreigner here.

The dead man is only a native.

Yeah, he's only a native.

Now, I'd like to
give you a little advice.

I don't know how much
this traitor has told you,

but you'd be wise to give up
your pursuit of the Pieterszoondiamonds.

And I warn you that
if you cross my trail again,

you will end up
as your friend did.

I'll cross your trail again, Ebenezer,
you can count on that.

And when I do,
you'll pay for this.

Hoppo Two?
Me, Hoppo Two.

I've come to trade.
Late night for trading.

I understand
you have a secret cargo.

Secret?

Nothing secret here. Who you?

I'm Captain Boll.
The ship Gerrymander.

I know a man named Gusti.

That's secret cargo?
Yes.

Do you know there's a Dutch
East Indies law against slavery?

Who shall know about girl?

What would I do with a...

How much?

Very high value.
Dancer, Sultan palace.

Hundred guilders.

Crazy man!
Absolute no less 700.

I cut my neck, Kim Kim too,
before Captain pay less.

Four hundred.

Before I sell Kim Kim 400,
I cut neck. I finish, I finish.

Go ahead. Cut her throat.

Six hundred.

Four hundred and fifty. No more.

Crazy man.
Stealing. Robbery.

All right. I get chest
to carry Kim Kim.

Men to help. Chang!

Take to Dutch gun boat.
Give to sentry. Say nothing.

Chess, give us a hand here.

Careful with it, lads.
It's my souvenir from Surabaya.

Pretty heavy, ain't it?

Yeah, probably a dancing
girl for the Captain.

Let's see. Put it over
there in the corner.

That's all, boys.

Come on.

Here.

Put 'em on.

Yeah.

What does it mean?
Not Malay, is it?

So you spoke
English all the time, huh? Yes.

My father was white.

A slave girl speaking
English like that?

I am not a slave girl!
I was a dancer.

You buy me because you like me?

Yeah, sure.
Sure I like you.

But, uh, the bracelet
around your ankle,

it's a volcano, isn't it?
What does it mean?

Only a design. A volcano.

Kim Kim, did you ever hear of a
Dutch ship called the Pieterszoon,

that was sunk 200 years ago with
thousands of diamonds on board?

Many times I have heard
of the Pieterszoon, Tuan.

Everyone knows.

In Bali where I was a small girl...
In Bandjarmasin.

Did you ever hear of an Australian
who calls himself "Saint Ebenezer"?

Saint Ebenezer?
Yeah.

No, Tuan.

Tuan!
It's only an earthquake.

It can't harm us here on board.

Yes?
Captain, about the earthquake...

Yes, I know about the earthquake.
Just a minute, Captain.

What about the Pieterszoon
diamonds, Captain?

It sounds very interesting.

So you were out there
listening, huh?

Yes. You know the shipping line
would like to hear about this.

So would the Dutch authorities.

Slavery being
a crime in these parts.

Come out here.

Mr. Flint, I oughta
throw you in the brig.

But you won't, will you, Captain?

You wouldn't do that to a partner.

A partner?

All right.
Our next stop is Bali.

As soon as we load cargo.
The girl came from Bali.

Maybe we can find out
something there.

Haul round
the head yards, Mr. Flint.

Tell Mr. Wilson
to break out the t'gansails.

Aye, aye, sir.

Haul round the head yards,
break out the t'gansails.

Dutch sloop of war putting out
after us, off starboard, sir.

Yeah.
Here comes their longboat.

Looks like they're gonna board us.

I think so, sir.
Back the main yards, Mr. Flint.

Boarding party in sight. Aye, sir.
Mr. Wilson, main yards aback!

Is our, uh, cargo all secured?

Don't worry,
Mr. Flint. It will be.

Captain Boll?

Yes, of the Gerrymander,
bound for Bali.

I have a warrant
to search your ship.

Search away, Lieutenant.

No luck, Lieutenant?
Not yet.

What makes you think
you'll find this runaway dancing girl

aboard the Gerrymander?

Or do the Dutch just automatically
suspect Yankee traders?

We are not permitted to disclose
the sources of our information

or discuss the economic policy
of the Netherlands East Indies.

You can save yourself some trouble,
Lieutenant. You won't find the girl here.

Thank you.
We must search in any case.

Very well, Captain.
We have found no trace of the girl.

We are sorry we have detained you.

What'd you do, Captain?
Throw her overboard?

No, but I still hope
she doesn't drown.

But we'll find out
as soon as possible.

Captain, did she drown?

All right. I've got her in a
half-filled water cask on deck.

I haven't had
a chance to get her out.

Hasn't she made a sound?
Not yet.

I spoke too soon.

Ho, lads, look what we got here.

Let's divide her up.

Not so fast, Reeder!
What's happening here?

Ahab and I, we saw the top
of the cask move, sir.

Yes, sir, you never saw a cask
jumpin' about like that before, sir.

So we just opened
it up and there she is.

A stowaway, huh?

She must be what the
Dutchies were looking for.

Well, now that she's aboard,
we'll treat her like a human being.

You better put her
ashore, Captain.

The boys may wanna play
cribbage with her.

This girl is our passenger to Bali.

She'll take over
your quarters, Mr. Wilson.

Mr. Flint, take her
to his cabin. Aye, aye, sir.

See that she gets
some dry clothes.

And you men,

if anyone of you lays a hand on her,
you'll answer to me.

Understand that.

Likely story he's telling us.
Stowaway, huh?

I say he knew she was
in there all the time.

Stop picking on the lad like that

or your noggins will be knocking
on the deck like a heathen drum.

And it's meself telling you
what he says is gospel truth.

Besides, he wouldn't wanna be
fooling with a woman

that is not on his own blinking ship.

Aye. There's no
money to be got from women.

A shape like Venus de Milo.

Ahab?
Yeah?

You think we brought her
aboard in the chest?

Well, I'll be dinged!
Maybe so! It's too bad, that's all.

What's too bad?

Just like I once read in a book,
"Cherchez la femme."

It means look out for the lady.

She'll get him in trouble yet.

He's right. Cherchez la femme.

Don't worry about the

They won't bother
you as long as you stay below.

I don't worry about the men on deck.
No, you got me wrong.

Being captain of a ship
is a job to me.

When I'm on board, I work at it.

When I'm on leave, uh,
well, that's different.

You drink like the men on deck.

I only drink on special occasions.

You're a beautiful girl, Kim Kim.

You better go to your cabin.

And stay off the deck.

Come on.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Well, Captain, did you get
any information from her?

No, it'll take a little time.

Couldn't be that
you like her company.

There's always the devil to pay on a ship
when a pretty woman comes aboard.

But this time, it's necessary.

There's a secret
in that head of hers.

If we can only get at it.Yes.

Sir, Kim Kim's on deck.
Mr. Reeder, he's...

On the quarterdeck!

No!

Mr. Blue, rig a bosun's chair.
Put him under 10 times.

Don't drown him and don't let the
sharks get him if you can help it.

Aye, aye, sir.

I told you to stay off the deck.

I'm Captain here and as
long as you're on my ship,

you'll do as I say.

Now get to your cabin
and stay there!

Who is it?
Captain Boll.

Come in.

The sarong is very beautiful.
Thank you, Tuan.

When I picked 'em up in Makassar,

I never thought
you'd be wearing it.

It looks good on you.

I just came to tell you that
we stand in at Bali day after tomorrow.

We'll do some trading there
with the Raja of Klungkung.

The Raja of... Oh...
He mustn't see me.

He's a very bad man.
I will stay on the ship and hide.

Why?

I was a dancing girl in his court...
Dancing Legong.

After the men killed my father,

he brought me up from
Sanur, where I was born.

But my mother took me
and we ran away.

After that you, uh...
You went to Bandjarmasin?

Yes. We lived there.

The Sultan saw me dance and
wanted me to dance in his court.

One day Mother went out
and never came back.

No one knew about it,
the Sultan said.

He came to see me and...

I run away from him.
But the Chinese men caught me and...

They made me a slave.

They beat me and...
And sold me.

Why do I have to tell you this?

You don't have to.
Just one thing, Kim Kim...

Did the Sultan ever mention
the Pieterszoondiamonds?

Pieterszoondiamonds!

No, he never did!
You always ask me,

Pieterszoondiamonds,
Pieterszoondiamonds!

You don't like me!

You have a cold heart,
like Ayer Batu ice!

Get out!
Now wait a minute, Kim Kim, I...

Get out!

She's a hot-tempered devil.

Maybe you didn't go about it
in the right way, Captain.

Mr. Flint, I don't know
what she was angry about.

All I've discovered is that she
came from Sanur in southern Bali.

When we get there,
we might turn up something.

Come in.

It's a fine day and, uh...

I thought maybe you'd like to go up
on deck and get a little fresh air.

- Yes, but...
- It's all right. I'll stay by you.

It is a beautiful day, isn't it?

Kim Kim...

I didn't get you up here to ask
a lot of questions again, but...

There's one thing I've got to know.
This ring...

It's mine.

It's yours?

They took it from me.
Where did you get it?

Well, never mind where I got it.

Here. You've got it back.

Thank you, Tuan.

It's a volcano, isn't it?

The same as the mounting
on your ankle bracelet.

Why, yes.

What does it mean?

I don't know.

All I can remember, my...

My mother gave it to me in
the temple on the mountain.

A temple on a mountain.
Where?

I was a little girl then...
How can I remember?

Come on, try to think.

You, Captain...

You only think of the
Pieterszoondiamonds

so you can get money!

Yes, I want money.
I'll tell you why.

I went to sea as
a cabin boy when I was 10.

I was raised with the lash and the
whip and the kicks of seamen's boots.

When I was 16, I was an able-bodied
seaman and made my living doing

pully-hauley on a slippery deck
and clawing canvas...

on a rolling boom in the sky.

I lived on hardtack and
I slept in a wet, stinking bunk.

Then I got to be a ship's officer.

I made men move with strength
and will and bare knuckles.

I drummed some learning
into my own unschooled brain.

Then I was put in command
of my own ship,

a beautiful ship,
but she isn't really mine.

All my life I've dreamed
of owning a ship like this,

and now I've got a chance
to make that dream come true,

and I'm not gonna
miss that chance.

I will try to help you, Tuan.
I will try to remember.

Chess.

Get a chair for
Miss Kim Kim from my cabin,

then stand by and see
that she's all right.

- Anything new from the girl?
- No, not yet.

Well, what if the Dutch
board us again?

I think it's worth the risk.

I wouldn't let my personal feelings
interfere with my judgment, Captain.

Suppose you let me handle
this in my way, Mr. Flint.

I know it is very important
to you, Captain,

about the Pieterszoondiamonds.

Captain.

I have remembered something
about the ring and the bracelet.

My mother gave them to me on the island
where there is a temple to Vishnu,

the fire god.

She told me Vishnu was given the
Pieterszoon diamonds to keep.

Diamonds are sun and fire!
Same as Vishnu.

His island is a fire island
with big volcano!

Men are afraid to go there.

The High Priest took the
diamonds there as an offering.

My father took the High Priest
to the island on his ship.

Later, the pirates
caught my father,

tried to make him tell.

He wouldn't.

They hurt him too much, till he died.

I'm sorry.

This island with the volcano,
where is it?

We sailed between two big islands

to go to the small island
where the temple is.

Were there any towns near there,
like, uh, Surabaya or Batavia?

I do not remember.
But I do remember...

a big light on a tall house
near the fire island.

A big light...

Kim Kim, did the light
flash on and off?

Was it a...
Was it a lighthouse maybe?

Yes, lighthouse.

Tall like the cliff at Sanur.

Maybe white like the moon.

I remember a...
big cross on top.

Big cross.
Sounds like Sunda Light.

Wait, I'll get a drawing
in the chart house.

What is this, Mr. Flint?

Just a re-adjustment, Captain.

A re-adjustment.
Looks like mutiny.

When the captain of a vessel becomes
mentally unbalanced and unfit for command

according to admiralty law,
the First Officer may replace her master.

Get out of here, Mr. Flint.

Unless you want to end up
on the wrong end of a rope.

You give us trouble, Boll, and I know
the owners of the line'll stand by me.

You wouldn't have the guts to use
that even if you had a reason.

Oh, wouldn't I?

And as for reason, your insanity
about this girl will do.

Kidnapping her in violation of
the laws of the Dutch East Indies.

Exposing all of us to the
severest penalties for slavery.

For a good reason.
Good reason!

A scheme to find some
fantastic sunken treasure.

So you've told the men
about the diamonds, huh?

Yes, I told them about
your trumped-up yarn.

About how the girl's supposed
to have some information

that would lead us to some
imaginary diamonds.

Mr. Blue, conduct
Captain Boll to the brig.

Just a minute...

I think the crew should know that
the diamonds are not imaginary.

Just a few minutes ago, the girl
confirmed that there is such a treasure.

And she gave me
the approximate location.

Nonsense. Mr. Blue!

- Mr. Flint, perhaps the Captain...
- No treachery here, Blue!

Come on, Captain,
and none of your tricks.

No, tricks, Mr. Flint, only to
offer the crew half the treasure.

The half that would have been
yours. Do you hear that, lads?

It's all right, lads.

Get Flint out of here.
Throw him in the brig.

Aye, aye, sir.

Men, you heard me correctly.
I'm willing to forget this trouble.

And more than that, like I said,
I'll give you half the bounty.

We're with you, Captain.

All right. Mr. Blue, you'll take
Flint's place as first mate.

Fortunately for you, good officers
are scarce in these parts.

Mr. O'Brien will take
Mr. Wilson's job as Bosun.

Mr. Wilson, as of now,
you're a plain, able-bodied seaman.

See that you live up to the name.

The girl remembers the island where the
Pieterszoon diamond cache is located.

It's between Java and Sumatra,

near Sunda Light on Sunda Strait.

With her help, we'll get there
and we'll get the diamonds.

All right, men,
back to your watches.

Mr. Blue, set her northwest by north.

Aye, aye, sir.

I'm afraid.

Well, there's nothing
to be afraid of now.

The fire god.
The diamonds belong to him.

I don't think the fire
god will get angry...

Anyway, not with you.

No, I... I fear for you.

The fire god...
He may kill you.

I love you.

Starboard bow!
Cuttin' us off!

Pirates!

T'gansails!
Headyards up!

Captain, the pirates...
Looks like Pulo Besar again.

The big prau with the black flag!

It's him all right, Pulo.

Put all sail on her, Mr. Blue.

I'll look to her aft.
You take her forward.

Aye, aye. Mr. O'Brien,
get that mizzen royal up fast!

We'll show a high wake
to Mr. Pulo yet!

Aye, aye, sir.

Helmsman, keep her a nice full!

They're too close, Captain.
We won't make it!

Get back to your job, Mr. Blue.

Get that forward canvas on her.

The Captain's down
in the wreckage, Mr. Blue!

He may be hurt bad.
Get him out of there! Wilson!

They'll cut us to ribbons if
we don't heave to. Strike the colors!

Aye.

Are you all right, sir?
Yeah, I'm all right.

The mizzen royal
and topgallant gone, sir.

Well, we can still make it.

Who struck the colors?
I did, sir.

Well, run 'em back up again.

It's too late, sir.
Pirates are alongside!

Oh! Mr. Blue...

It's an outrage! You dirty!
It's an outrage!

You offered very little
resistance, Captain Boll.

Last time you did quite well
with that signal cannon.

This time you must
have been asleep.

What do you want from us?

We have no cargo that
would interest you.

I'm informed that you have a cargo
which interests me exceedingly.

Or rather a passenger.

A seagull, or a water rat?
A dancer named Kim Kim.

Do not try to protect her.
My men will find her.

The Dutch navy will be
on your neck for this.

The Dutch navy does not have the
slightest idea where my capital city is.

In these waters,
I do exactly as I wish.

Why don't you come out
from behind that mask.

Silence, dog!

I could kill you in a moment
if I wished. And all your crew.

But I need some information first.

I won't tell you anything, Mr. Pulo,
or whatever your name is!

Your insolence will
cause you pain tonight.

So you had no passengers.

Now, you men, we did not kill you

or your captain because
I intend to question you.

But we will kill you
if you try to escape!

So you will quietly do
as you are told.

You will sail this ship
under guard to my harbor.

I think we're comin'
into Pulo Town.

A harbor, anyhow.

The Dutch have a big reward out
for information about this place.

Do you think we can
remember where it is?

Careful. This pirate
may understand our lingo.

Wait till I check him.

You're very stupid, huh?

Yeah... Stupid.

Well, you see what you can,
and I will too.

If we get out of this alive.

Your mate, Mr. Blue,
has been very cooperative.

And so has Mr. Flint,
the man you had in your jail.

I'm not surprised.

I understand you have considerable
affection for this ship.

So, I'm going to permit you
to bring it to anchor.

I'm sure you don't want anything
to happen to your ship.

Do you think they'll kill us, sir?

What's the matter, Chess?
Do you wanna live all your life?

Don't worry, we'll get
out of this somehow.

Hey! Hey! Hey, hey!

Gentlemen, please be seated.

There will be dancing and some arak
to drink for my new friends who have

so wisely decided
to join Pulo Besar.

Mr. Blue, I'll bet you wish
you had your other eye.

Confidentially, Mr. Wilson,

this is exactly the kind
of a place I lost it in.

Release her!

Dance!

Savage! You will pay for this!

Kung, take her!

Ask her where the Pieterszoon
diamonds are! Question her!

Girl, you will answer him
or you will bleed for it.

Tie her.

You say where diamonds are!

No. Captain Boll will
have the diamonds.

Then you bleed!

Now you tell, eh?

I'll never tell!

You see!

Mother.

She no tell either.
Same thing happen to you.

I'll never tell.

Idiot! You've killed her!

No, Tuan. She live.
I ask about diamonds. She no tell.

As usual, you over did it.

I just wanted you to teach
her respect for Pulo.

Your methods didn't work
with her mother, either.

Now take the girl down!

Bring her upstairs!

I have more intelligent
ways of handling her.

You seem surprised by the
wealth of my surroundings.

I happen to enjoy living
in the utmost luxury.

It is my privilege and my right.

What have you done with the girl?

It seems your confinement has not
broken your power of resistance yet.

I said, what have you
done with the girl?

I suppose you are wondering
why I didn't send for you sooner.

I thought I might need some information
about the Pieterszoondiamonds,

but that will not
be necessary now.

The Balinese dancer with some treatment,
has been very cooperative.

What do you mean by that?

I simply threatened to kill you,

and the girl told me
everything she had told you

about the Pieterszoondiamonds,

and promised to lead me
to them if I let you live.

With this leverage,
I'm sure she will remember the rest.

Such is the power of love.

I had almost forgotten
what power it had.

I'm glad the girl reminded me.

But you are a strong,
resourceful man.

But love, passion,
is a weak spot in your armor.

I want to see what's behind this!

Ebenezer.

You might have
been killed for that.

You know, Captain, there's a
little honor even among hypocrites

of which, of course,
I am an outstanding example.

I promised the girl
I wouldn't kill you,

and I intend to keep that promise,

but I am also going to be
hypocritical about it.

Since you know who I am,
I should kill you,

but then I have my
hypocritical word of honor.

So I think I shall simply keep you
in prison for the rest of your life.

You've got it all figured out.Yes.

And if you should fall sick
and die during your captivity,

that will not be
my responsibility.

I shall be keeping my promise.

And Kim Kim will do what you
want because she believes you.

You need not worry
about your loved one.

I will be gentle with her.

I learned my lesson in regard to this
with another member of her family,

her mother, Bintang.

Once she was a beautiful woman,

but I wanted the secret she knew,

the secret of the diamonds.
I was too impetuous.

Madness came first.

You're even lower than I thought.

And you're more emotional
than I thought.

So you see, Captain, I've learned
my lesson in regard to force with women.

I've had good success with this
girl Kim by being gentle with her.

I don't want to hear any more!

I'm disappointed in you, Captain.

I thought you had more self-control.

Incidentally, Mr. Wilson,
Mr. Blue and Mr. Flint

have decided to throw
in their lot with mine.

And they will eventually sail
the Gerrymander under my flag.

Snake.

Ah, Captain Pidada.
Everything ready?

Reasonably so, sir. We should
be able to sail before sundown.

What about the girl?

She seems very depressed.
Perhaps seeing her mother

under the circumstances
has upset her.

The Americans?
They are on the prowl.

Good. Kung, I want you to
guard the girl carefully.

Stay with her at all times.

Yes, Tuan.

You'd better go now and stand by
her door until we're ready to sail.

I don't know how
to fight with my feet.

Don't worry. The clumsier you are,
the more interested they'll be. Come on!

Raise your feet, kid.

Come on, kid.
That's a one.

Up, up, up, get up!
Up you get!

Come on.

Here comes one of the guards
to give you a lesson.

Get up!

Good boy!
That's what I call boxin'!

Come on, lads!
Come on!

Give me that.

Good work, lads!

Let's grab the ship.
The girl's in a lot of trouble!

We'll get the girl first.

Hey, Captain! Look!

Have you got that telescope of yours,
or did they take it from you?

Captain! They got the girl aboard!

We'd better try to get back
to the ship, Captain!

All right, Reeder, you stay with me.

We'll pin 'em down.
Rest of you get in the boats.

Sounds like trouble at the boats.

Better get down there.

Man the boats, everybody!
Man the boats!

Come on. Come on.

Head for the stern.

We'll climb up the wreckage
of the mizzen rigging!

Throw him overboard!

Ahab, take a party
and search the ship.

See if there are
any more of 'em left aboard.

Secure this mizzen rigging.
Mr. O'Brien...

You are now
my first mate. Take over.

Aye, aye, sir.

Hey, Reeder?
Here.

Take the forward watch
and set that headsail!

Aye.

Captain, more of 'em coming!

Grab a rifle.

We'll hold 'em off until
we can get underway.

Chop that line and save the sails.

That did it.
They're turning back.

Mr. O'Brien,
stand by to haul anchor.

Aye, aye, sir.

You lads keep firing just to be
sure they don't change their minds.

Good work, lads.
How's your ammunition?

Only a few rounds left, sir.

We may need it later.

Sir?

I didn't want to mention it,
but do you know about that fort.

I saw it on that point
of land when we came in.

Yes, I know. We'll have
to pass right under its guns.

We can only hope that they don't
have word yet that we've broken out.

Sir, Ahab and I watched pretty closely
when we came through the narrows.

- We could help.
- Good.

You go aft and stand
by the helmsman.

Tell Ahab
to stand by the bow. Aye, aye, sir.

A signal from the bow, Mr. O'Brien.
Turn two points to the starboard.

Right.

Two points to the starboard, it is.
I hope!

Do you think the fort
will fire, Captain?

Maybe not.

Chances are they haven't had word
about us yet from the village.

It's a long way on foot.

I hope the messenger
boys are tired, sir.

Yeah.

He's a cool one.

Who? The Captain?
Yeah.

Aye, except when
it comes to that skirt.

He only used her to get information
about the diamonds.

Hmm, maybe.

He's a tough one when
his mind's made up.

But I still think he'll be
grabbin' that dame back.

Only if he needs more information
about the diamonds, Mr. O'Brien.

Well, we showed 'em
a clean pair of heels, lads.

Yeah. We did. We sure did.

Mr. O'Brien, set her
northwest by west.

For Batavia, Captain?

Is it more tradin' we're going
to do now the girl is gone away?

Not Batavia, Mr. O'Brien, Sunda Strait.
We'll catch Mr. Pulo there

and then we'll go after the
best trade of all, the diamonds.

Oh, no! I mean, aye, aye, sir.

And Mr. O'Brien, put a work party
on the mizzen royal and topgallant.

Get 'em mended.
Get all the sail on her you can.

Aye, aye, sir.

The saints preserve us.
16 knots, sir.

Good. The mizzen will
hold, Mr. O'Brien?

Just like new, sir.
But not better than new.

Uh, the barometer's been
falling, sir. Might be a storm.

Well, that's when
we gain time, in a blow.

Sure. And we'll make
the ship fly, sir.

The mizzen royal's
going to carry away, sir.

It'll hold all right, Mr. O'Brien.

He drives the ship, huh?

I'm wondering
about one thing. What?

When we catch Pulo,
what are we going to do with him?

Him with his shipload of cannons.

The Captain will figure out
the answer, all right, I think.

I think he would at that.

If the ship lasts that long.

Reckoning fixes us near
Sunda Light, Captain.

Yes, I can see it,
but no sign of Pulo.

Sail, ho!

Port bow!

It's Pulo, all right.

Shorten canvas, Mr. O'Brien.

Take in sail, Captain?

Yes. We'll lie off Mr. Pulo's ship
just out of range of his cannons.

We'll let him
lead us to the diamonds.

Reeder, send your boys up foremast, and
take in the royal and the gallant sails.

Aye.

Watch aft there,
and haul in the royals.

Haul in the royals, men.

Come here, girl.
Don't be afraid.

Give me your ankle bracelet,
if you please.

The Krakatau carving.
No!

Don't forget that Captain Boll
is still a prisoner at my palace.

He will suffer if you don't obey me.

Gerrymanderoff
the starboard quarter.

Kung, get the girl
below, quickly! Yes, Master.

It's Boll, all right.

We can attend to him with cannons.

Really, Captain Pidada,
you know better than that!

He won't come within cannon range.
He'll simply follow us.

We'll never catch him with this ship,
or have you forgotten?

The broken sails all restored.

Clever work. He must have
flown to get here so quickly!

Well, Mr. Blue,
what do you suggest?

You're well-acquainted
with this man.

Well, sir, if we can't
catch 'em or outrun 'em,

I suggest we try to
lose 'em after dark.

He don't know the way
to those diamonds.

Only as far as Sunda Light.

He don't know
where that island is,

the girl keeps talkin' about
Krakkity-toe, or whatever it is.

I can rig a spinnaker
out of your extra mainsail.

Give her a few more knots speed

and we can give 'em
the slip tonight.

That's a good idea, Mr. Blue.

And if you please, tell Kung
to keep the girl below decks.

Seems a capable man,
this Mr. Blue.

But utterly untrustworthy.

Well, he's useful for the moment.

That's more than we
can say for the others.

As for Wilson, he's fond of
alcoholic spirits than life itself.

Would you then propose
to lose them overboard, sir?

Exactly, all in good time.

Ah, Mr. Wilson, we were
just speaking of you.

I bring a message from Mr. Blue.

He wants to know where you
keep the extra mainsails,

Your Honor Saint Ebenezer.

Sir Pulo... Sometimes I just
don't know who you are.

Tell Mr. Blue the sails
are in the forward locker.

Forward locker. Aye, sir.

I don't think he overheard
our plans for him.

Krakatau.

What a curious name
for a volcanic island.

It almost sounds
like a volcano going off.

Well, Captain, let's go to the
chart room and map out our course.

Pulo has some canvas
spread on his forward deck.

Looks like he's gonna
rig an extra sail.

They'll never sail as fast
as Captain Boll, sir.

No, but they'll probably
try to lose us after dark.

They won't be showing any
lights and there's no moon.

And we can't bring the Gerrymanderin
close enough to see Pulo's ship.

Not without gettin' blown
out of the water, sir.

Yeah, that's right.

So we'll follow close
with the longboat.

I want you to paint the longboat
sail black so it won't show.

I'll carry a lantern
shielded on one side

and I'll lie in close
to Pulo and signal you.

Aye, aye, sir.

All right, that'll be all right.

Lower her down and secure her.

She's about ready, Captain.

It's a funeral boat you
got, black sails and all.

I hope not.
I'll need a crew of two.

You, Chess, and uh, you, Ahab.

You've got sharp eyes.

Yes, sir.

Finish the work now,

and look sharp for that
lantern tonight, Mr. O'Brien.

We shove off in five minutes.

If we wait any longer,
it'll be so dark we'll lose 'em.

Right. Aye, sir.

The light movin' to starboard,

give her one more point
to starboard, helmsman.

What's that?
Huh?

Sounds like somebody
swimming.Yeah.

Don't shoot!
It's me, Wilson!

Keep your eye on the pirate ship,
Chess. We don't want to lose her.

You don't have to follow Pulo anymore.
I know where he's goin'.

If this is a trick, Wilson, I'll...

It's no trick, Captain.
I swear it.

Quickly now, before we lose
Mr. Pulo's ship. Where is this place?

Here, here it is, Captain.
Krakatau, that's the name.

Krakatau.

It's a little island
nobody ever heard of.

The girl says the diamonds are there
but she can't remember exactly where.

Pulo thinks she'll remember
after she gets there.

Yeah, yeah, here it is.

"Krakatau,
a small volcanic island,

"also known as
Pulo... Fire island.

"The volcano has been dormant
for a hundred years.

"As recently as 1865,
earthquakes have shaken the area.

"This explosive type of volcano
is always dangerous."

This has got to be it.

The girl talked about a fire
god guarding the diamonds.

That'd be the volcano.
Yeah.

Mr. O'Brien, set course for Krakatau.
Pile all the canvas on her she'll take.

Aye, aye, sir.

We'll make her fly like a bird!

Wilson, if you've lied to me about this,
I'll choke the breath of life out of you

with my own two hands.

Sir, the American,
Wilson, has disappeared.

Disappeared? Have you
searched the ship carefully?

Yes, sir.

Well, perhaps in his usual intoxication,
he slipped off the deck.

It's better that way.

Saves us the trouble
of pushing him over.

The main thing is that the
horizon to the rear is empty.

No sign of our friend,
Captain Boll and the Gerrymander.

How long before we reach
this island, Krakatau?

We should be in sight of the island now,
sir, except for the morning mist.

We should have no trouble seeing
Krakatau from a distance, if the volcano

is active.
A pillar of smoke.

It's not really dangerous?

It has never been really dangerous,
sir, but it cannot be guaranteed.

Well, we'll trust that
our good luck will continue.

Take a look with this.

See if you can see
anything you remember.

Is the temple on the peak
the temple of the fire god?

Yes, I remember.
The fire god peak.

Good, Kim, good!

The Gerrymander!
That devil, Boll!

Sir...

We can hold him off
the island with cannons,

while our landing party
goes ashore.

Captain, when we anchor, you'd
better stay on board with a gun crew.

I'll take Blue and Flint ashore
and keep them out of trouble.

Of course, I'll take the girl.

Captain Boll will have the diamonds.

I will not go on the island with you!

Oh, yes, you will.

The next volley will be closer.

Yeah. We'll pull away and
sneak back in close to shore.

Helmsman, stand by to come about.

Round up all the rifles and ammunition,
Mr. O'Brien. Aye, aye, sir.

Well, Mr. Blue.

So the great Captain Boll
turns tail under gunfire.

Well, it isn't the first time.

Are you sure that's the temple
on top of the mountain?

Yes, the diamonds are there.

Listen.

The fire god! He's angry with us.
He will kill us!

Mere superstition.

All active volcanoes
make that sound. Kung.

I want you to stay here with
the girl until we come back.

Yes, Tuan.

That volcano looks dangerous, sir.

Possibly, but there are more
important facts at hand.

All right, cast off!

Come on!

They're heading for the temple.
That's where the diamonds must be.

We can go up this ridge.

Let's get back to the boat!

Kim Kim, you get off the deck, it'll be
safer. Chess, take her to her cabin.

Mr. O'Brien, up anchor
and set all sails.

Up anchor and set sails!

Mr. O'Brien, bring her about.

Swing the bow toward the island.

Take all sail off her
and rig a sea anchor.

Aye, aye, sir.
Sea anchor, sir?

Yes! And fast.

That thing's gonna blow any
minute and when she does,

there'll be a tidal wave
like a mountain.

I want to be heading into it.

Aye, aye, sir.
Come on, men!

The pirate prau!

Under full sail!

She's gonna try to outrun it.
It'll sink her for sure.

Hang onto something,
lads! Hang on!

Kim Kim, I've been thinking...

You remember that thing
you said once about, uh...

Well, about women being
able to live on a ship?

Yes, yes, I remember.

Well, I've been thinking...

You, uh...

You don't have
any family left now and...

Well, like you said,
I suppose women could...

Kim Kim, go down and put on your silver
sarong and get back up here, will you?

Uh... Please.

O'Brien!

Assemble the men
on the main deck. Aye, aye, sir.

And so we lost the diamonds,

but we got away with our lives.

But there's still a big
bounty waiting for us.

Pulo Besar is no longer
with us, but his town

is still there and
so are most of his pirates.

And the Dutch are interested

to the extent of a hundred
thousand guilder reward.

Now, there's uh,
there's one more thing. I, uh...

I wanted to tell you men
I'm getting married today.

Mr. O'Brien.
Aye, aye, sir.

"We are gathered together here

in the sight of God and in
the face of this company

"to join together this man and this woman
in the state of holy matrimony..."
