They are

a ship holder and his wife living in a basement.

Every penny James earns to buy more shares in the company.

Let me help you.

Oh, you'll sell your frot.

Look, you'll do yourself an injury.

You can't even live in that.

Oh, indeed, I can.

Anne, are you not well?

Up she goes.

Stop me!

Wait.

Grab him.

That's better.

It won't be worth much without the cargo.

The cargo's worth nothing at all.

There's something sugar in those bags now.

Born in a right squall by the look of her.

Didn't even have time to reef the sails.

The Gumption to try.

You know what a man doesn't ship unless they have to, sir?

Come on, put your backs into it, heave!

The cargo's all to get old!

Don't stand the keeping too long, neither.

It's to death, say it won't.

I'm even our cargo by an apple's hand.

There's some good salvage money in this, eh?

It's that smokey old range in there.

Oh, James, I'll have something to answer for when he gets back.

It's just a queasiness that passes soon enough.

I was young William.

Wanting his dinner, I should think, how must go?

The maid has no way with the child at all.

You know, James could afford a maid to help you.

Servants?

You'll be wishing a carriage on us next.

Well, at least he could afford a decent house.

There's a very passable property, you know, in Trinity Road.

It all comes soon enough once James has control of your need in line again.

And when will that be?

It's like Albert Stinkett.

Men heads in the clouds.

So long as we've got our feet on the ground, there's no arm in that.

Well, at least mine aren't stuck in a basement.

Look, go and give young William his dinner.

You'll be all right.

I am all right.

It's just a touch of sickness that comes over me at times.

Sickness?

Well, haven't you ever?

Oh, no.

No, it couldn't be that.

Nice.

It's coming up nicely, Mr. Baines.

Right.

Shift the rest over to starboard.

Nice.

All right, now come on, shift the rest of it over to starboard.

I'll take it.

There's a set of spare cells at the morning.

I've never known a ship but to see.

So will equip us this once.

Well, we'll use what we come from our own cell, now, Cal.

We'll take her and so.

I'll take her and so.

I'll take her and so.

I'll take her and so.

Oh, Elizabeth, could it really be?

Well, you've waited long enough.

James would be so pleased.

Well, as long as he shows he is.

But this is no place to have a baby.

He'll have to put his hand in his pocket for you now, Anne.

Yeah, will he really be pleased?

Of course he will.

An heir to the only, didn't I?

Well, I'll take her and so.

Well, I'll take her and so.

Oh, Elizabeth, could it really be?

Well, you've waited long enough.

I'll take her and so.

Isn't it nice?

And this freak will not make Liverpool by the end of the monster.

You'd like us to cut it?

Wouldn't you, Mr. Baeens?

The crew didn't think it worth saving, sir.

I think she's a fine ship.

And in my opinion, a fast one.

Salvage of warts should be worth a tightest something.

I can't agree, sir.

It's not worth the risk we're taking on our cargo of pineapple.

It could be brought in below within the week.

Hmm.

Ireland.

Delayed, lost car, but it's sailing tomorrow.

James was ever a man of few words.

Especially when words cost money.

To put him to Ireland.

It must have been serious for James to delay and risk his pineapple cargo.

This ship must have been badly battered.

Well, it's seaworthy now where he'd not be sailing tomorrow.

Yes, but in what condition?

The Charlotte Road is not the ship that she was in the Irish Sea can be fearsome.

Oh, I can't bear it when they sail without me.

The worst they can endure at sea is nothing beside the fancy that won't be at hold.

Anne.

I was expecting it moved.

Day.

What ever is the matter with you?

I'm sorry, Robert.

I just keep messing into tears when I was messing with you.

You're surprised?

You've been to me often enough.

What happened?

Thank you for bringing the telegram, Robert.

I'm sure you've business to attend to.

Listen, what are you doing here?

I'm just calling.

In an apron.

I'm giving Anna hand in the kitchen.

You're giving someone a hand?

Never known you put yourself out for anybody.

Give them all of to Sarah.

Listen, if there's anything wrong with her in there, we ought to get a doctor.

We don't need a doctor yet.

Yet?

Do you mean she's...

I'm...

Anne! No, Anne!

Why haven't you told me?

Well, I want to change.

It's to be the first time I've ever been.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I didn't. You tell me!

I want to change to be the first to know, Robert.

But I think it's wonderful news, I don't know.

Oh, it's time.

You just wait till I tell Sarah.

Oh, Robert! No!

Don't worry.

She won't read the word to anyone. I promise you!

It'll be all over Liverpool by night, though.

It'll really matter.

Not if James were here.

You'll have to get used to being on your own from now on, you know.

There'll be no more voyages with James when the baby's born.

Why ever not?

Babies just give them an excuse.

So what? To go off? Fancy free?

Oh, just because Alberts away.

Well, as long as James gets you out of this place, that's something.

But you'll have to insist.

I think not.

James himself will insist.

James, a father!

What did you say about that, then?

I was beginning to wonder.

Wonder what?

Oh, you know how, James.

All that energy and not even a child to show for it.

I mean, the rest of us have managed it, haven't we?

Well, really.

It'll be the making of James. You mark my words, having a family.

There's nothing like fatherhood.

Just to give a man a proper sense of responsibility.

You don't seem best pleased with the news.

Should I be?

You know that James are needing on the way.

Oh, that is a sober thought.

Wonder worrying one.

Hurry in.

I don't know what you mean.

Oh, you never can see beyond the end of your own nose, can you?

If James has a son, the unedin line will go to him,

and not to our little Samuel.

Well, I do have 1,500 shares of my own in the company.

Only I need a cymo than that if there's to be anything worth having for our little Samuel.

Robert.

You must buy more unedin line shares.

Get these hats covers off. Read for discharge!

Thanks.

James.

Well, they're dockeys.

James.

Well, they're dockeys. We've got a cargo aboard the won't stay a moment longer.

Mr. Fains, what kept you?

We took a derelict in tow, cost us a weagold tow,

and Capno didn't got it as worth it, I can't understand it.

Normally I value his judgement. Get armed with it there.

This derelict, what's her name?

The Dago schooner, the Barry and the Glory.

A Portuguese old Brazilian, anyway.

We put what sale we could on there and took her in tow.

But the win changed to the east so we could make no headway.

So we dropped her off at Ross Cap.

A good prize, is she?

Well, Bains doesn't think so, but he's wrong.

That schooner's worth a lot to her own us, and the savage of what should be a good and, hey?

James.

And the steamship company.

Yes.

Bring us that much nearer to getting control of the unedin line again.

James.

Of course I do regret the delay.

I'm having a baby.

It's not true.

It's rotted then, on the other hand.

What did you say?

I'm with child.

Why, did you say so?

Well, it's right, but he didn't give me room to get a word in edgeways.

You sure?

It wasn't at first. I couldn't believe it.

But I'm sure now.

James, is it good news?

Good news.

That's wonderful news.

What's wonderful news I've ever heard in all my life?

What's that then?

Here, Robert.

I'm gonna be a father.

Oh, yes, that.

I'm told me.

It is certainly most wonderful news.

You want it to be?

Well, January, or February, maybe.

Yes.

Yeah, this calls for a toast.

Sarah, I'm gonna be a father.

I know, Robert told me.

Oh, I am, please, be your welcome.

Yeah, Robert, go and get them so I wonder if everybody took drink to the area of the unedin line.

Oh, Mr. Paine's is chasing up the dog.

It's to unload your car and go to pineapple.

Oh, well, better not interrupt that then.

No, you can drink his later then.

You're needed. He's no, now you're starting a family.

Oh, my son will act for nothing.

I believe it's a girl.

Oh, no.

It'll be a boy.

Well, here's to James the second.

And to the company that'll want to be his.

There's a very nice house in Trinity Road for sale.

Of course, it will have to be furnished and with a baby to bring up, Anne will need servants.

Anne, well aware of Anne's needs?

One would hardly think so from a glance around this place.

Anne is up without trouble. You're delivered to mind the owner fairs, will you?

If Anne has to have her baby here.

James has already put aside money for her house, Elizabeth.

The cargo of Pine Up will make a handsome profit.

I thought a lot of it went bad.

It's only 50 pounds worth.

They've made 500 pounds profit on the rest and with what we'll get from solving the Maria de Gloria.

Anne will lack for none of the comforts that you so kindly wish her.

Oh, dear.

No, no, Anne. Elizabeth will attend to it. She is just leaving.

James, do that.

Brother Robert, what an earth to see one now.

Goodbye, Anne.

Goodbye, Elizabeth. You married Anne Swell, but when I see him...

Your father will be here next.

You'll be happy to toast our sons out for the first time.

Now until Christmas.

James.

That ship you salvaged. She's up for auction.

What?

The Maria de Gloria. It's in the shipping gazette look.

To be sold up public auction at the Wexford Arms, Ross Carberry, where you left it.

A month's time.

Yeah, barely time for anyone to go and have a look at it.

Much less decided if he's a used for it.

Oh, so much. That's more than three or four hundred.

Oh, and there's must have lost his wits.

The owner abandoned interest in it when it was lost four months ago.

It belongs to the insurers now.

They seem to want it off their hands just as soon as they can.

Don't they know a fast ship on a sea one?

Oh, don't fret James. It's their loss.

Oh, and ours.

Indeed it is.

The salvage court will allow only one third of the value.

So whatever it fetches at public auction, even in Ireland, will be deemed the value.

What is fit? It's really worth so much more.

Oh, well, well, yes.

Only James thinks that.

Maria de Gloria, you know.

So far I've not met anybody who's ever heard of her.

Nor have I.

It seems she's never been seen in English waters.

And according to the shipping movement lists, well, there's no mention of her there anywhere.

Something odd about that ship.

I'm going to get to the bottom of it.

Robert, we'll go over tonight on a steam packet, eh?

Too bad in the night we could be in Roscabary in the day after tomorrow.

Oh, cut your losses, James.

You'll be all right, hey, Robert and myself go over to Ireland.

Oh, indeed I will. I'm coming with you.

A woman in your condition doesn't travel over the Irish sea in a steam packet.

The Irish sees a sightless danger, subclimbing all the stairs every time I want to go out,

or looking close from the cellar for that abominable stove.

You never make complaint before.

I've never been with child before.

I've never been with you before.

Where's Robert?

I've got her stomach for the sea at all.

Paul, Robert.

You and I used to it.

I just heard who's handling the sale of the school, sir.

Mr. Sankler.

A sharp customer.

It's all.

Here.

How much longer must we endure this bouncing tin kettle?

Not enough for you to acquire your sea legs.

Man.

I just lost my balance.

You're it.

I'm not feeling too well.

You'll never see, sir.

The baby.

You should have stayed at all.

Told you.

I'm all right, really I am.

She's a lovely line on the water.

Lot of damage.

Days work for a competent ship's carpenter.

No.

Come on.

Let's have a word with Mr. Sankler.

Mr. Sankler.

Who are you?

My name's O'Nida.

It was Arlet Salvitch, the Marie de Glottie.

I'm aware of that.

Though I fear there won't be much in this view, Mr. Nieden.

Oh, indeed.

Well, now, there is this my wife, Anne.

And we're brother Robert.

Shall say this?

Looks like a good ship to the ship.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure you're not.

I'm sure you're not.

I'm sure you're not.

I'm sure you're not.

I'm sure you're not.

I'm sure you're not.

I'm sure you're not.

Looks like a good ship to me, eh?

She has a bad record.

We haven't seen any records at all.

What's she been used for?

Well, I'm just the insurer's agent.

Mine structures out to arrange a quick sale and dispose of that.

Why did the owners abandon her, eh?

They couldn't even ride out a gale.

That seamanship.

Perhaps.

Some day go crew from Brazil, eh?

Well, I know nothing of the crew, except that they were all picked up and taken home for Rio.

Mr. Sankler, what do you think she'll fetch?

My principal's be very happy to receive £500.

Eh?

I did warn you, there was little for you in it, her salver.

I reckon she's worth four times, that's about it.

But how can you be so sure, James?

She doesn't look worth 500 to me.

Face the facts, man.

You were wrong to pry to her so highly.

I think not, Robert.

It's a matter of simple shopkeeping.

What should it is to you?

No, if I price a candle at up one penny, then a penny is what it's worth.

Otherwise I'll charge more.

Mr. Sankler doesn't even want to get more £500 for her, no one will bid more anyway.

Right.

It's got some interest in this, I swear.

I'll make the salar shop like that, here.

It's crowd.

James!

Yes?

£50 with the pineapple, rusted on the Charlotte roads because of the delay.

Can you honestly say it in not just trying to justify that?

You saw her, Timbours?

Not more than two years old, lovely lines, you said.

But James, you've said yourself, you've nowhere telling how fast a ship is until you take it to sea.

Oh, well.

This time it's different.

I just know she's a fast ship.

Oh, it's late. Come to bed.

Rin.

Why would they want to get rid of us so quickly?

For such a measly sum?

There's more to life than ships.

I wanted you to stay at home, but no, you would come over here making yourself ill now that you are.

I'm sorry, I was foolish.

It's Elizabeth.

She thinks Albert neglects her.

Neglects her?

Fine house, carriages, servants.

Everything she needs, so he's no need to feel guilty about not being there himself.

She thinks you'd be the same.

For a moment when you wanted me to stay behind, I...

Oh, I admit, I was foolish, James.

James, where are you going?

James!

James!

James!

James!

James!

James!

James!

James!

James!

James!

James!

Who's there?

Mr. Anita!

Mr. Jackie, you're just looking around, you know.

This time of night?

Well, I couldn't sleep, you know.

What can you see in the dark?

All that I want, I think.

Well, good night, Mr. Sandeep.

I couldn't bring you before a magistrate for this.

This is not your property, Mr. Anita.

I'm of no wish it to be, either.

So you went aboard a lot tonight, though?

Found out what I wanted to know.

No. And what was that?

Oh, I thought the French and English navy's had ships on the African coast to stop it.

So you need a fast ship to evade them, a ship especially built for the purpose.

The Brazilians have got too much in slavery to give up the trade altogether.

So that schooner was especially designed to put a long way between her and any ship or suiner.

No one do you think?

No, no, no.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

So that's largely designed to put a long way between her and any ship or suiner?

No, you couldn't find out about her, Robert.

Our douches have ever been registered.

But what's she doing in Northern latitude?

Well, maybe there was a after a Brazilian owner.

Then, he wants to get rid of her, eh?

So he ticks on a cargo shuber, and with the same crew, he's sent her on a commercial voyage through C's.

They've never sailed before.

Have her sign of trouble, they've texted the boat.

So that explains why the insurers want a quicksail,

the less attention drawn to the bacteria?

Suits my purpose fine.

But you want the ship to get that real value

so that you get a just salvage award.

The handless salvage award.

I'd rather have the ship.

What?

For £500, she'd be an absolute bargain.

On the fruit run from the Azores, she'd be definitely body home.

Now, I'll tell you something.

When we get back to Liverpool,

we display no more interest in the Maria de Gloria.

And we tell nobody!

But I thought the £500 was for a house.

Oh, and we can always get a house.

But we'll never have a chance of a sconer like that.

No, for £500.

It's a pool lookout for a man of our years.

We've used to be denied the occasion to drink a health to his old grandson.

It'll be six months at least before he's even born.

And the way you're drinking his health, you'll not be able to christen again.

Well, I understand that least he's to be born in a more serious surrounding than this.

Yes, James is to buy the house for us.

The property I haven't told you have in mind,

she sounded up with her timbers,

a bit short on accommodation.

If it's the house in Trinity Road that you're referring to,

I've been to look at it, that's all.

I'm not sure I'm completely taken with it.

And in a case at the moment, James needs the money for other purposes.

But it only takes one other bidder to find out about that ship

and the price will soon soar to its proper value.

Well, just have to chance that, won't I?

£500 as far as I can go.

So I must do without the house in Trinity Road.

Oh, if anybody talks to me about that again.

Look, what are you trying to help, James?

Oh. Well...

Yes, I mean...

That is, I mean...

James, we do have something saved.

And with that little nest stay for my aunt, Ma...

Are you offering me a loan?

Okay.

Not exactly.

No, we thought we could buy, say,

say, £500 of your Anitain line shares.

Well, then they'd still be a family.

If you want to buy some more shares, you buy them from the public.

That way we'll have all the more in the family, won't we?

Unless, of course, you want to reduce my holding.

Robert, I might have to sell some shares.

But if I do...

I'll sell them to people I know I can buy them back from.

Has James only found out she was a slaver?

I can't say, but I strongly suspect that he has.

Well, if he has, he'll bid for it.

Oh, good morning, Emma.

Miss Emma Callan, may I present Mr. Sankey,

agent for weather business who ensured the Mario de Gloria.

Oh, it'll take my leave.

Oh, there's no need.

You can speak freely in front of Miss Callan.

She owns the business.

Indeed.

She also has her head for it.

Very pretty, one, two, if I may say some.

Oh, uh...

Mr. Sankey thinks that James or Needy

may have stumbled on the truth about the Mario de Gloria.

That she's a slaver.

Well, a fast ship anyway.

A ship you might be inclined to purchase

if you could get it cheap enough.

A Wilbur, at least, will bid against him.

So will I, because if James or Needy

is at that auction, I'll be there too.

And if that's the case, there's no question

of this private sale we've been discussing.

A private sale?

Well, Mr. Sankey remembers our interest

in the Mario de Gloria when her owners wanted

to dispose of her quickly six months ago.

And now she's turned up again.

Brought in by of all people, James or Needy.

Mr. Sankey's offering her to us for a straight 2,500 pounds.

Then why go to the trouble of putting her up for auction?

To say Mr. Sankey's principles from paying James or Needy

in the salvage money he expects.

How?

Well, if we don't let anyone know what a fast ship she is, ma'am,

no one will bother to go all the way to Ireland to bid for her.

The morsel orcas will go to his about 400 pounds,

and, uh, Mr. Sankey's ma'am, what's his name?

Wilbur, Hen.

Hi, Wilbur, I'm as instructions to top that.

You'll get it for 450 at the most.

Of which James or Needy gets one third as salver?

My mere 150 pounds.

Hi.

And then you, Mr. Wilburham, acting for you,

sells a schooner to us.

On the quiet for 2,500 pounds.

What should be worth if you were auctioned her fairly?

Well, at the least 3,000.

She's as good as that.

Yeah, she's a remarkable ma'am.

Now, which is why Mr. Sankey knows we'll be glad to have her.

Well, you can bid it the auction if you prefer Mr. Fogarty.

But remember my way.

You gain a considerable bargain.

We save ourselves a great sum by preventing a need

in from getting the full salvage deal.

And what I hear, that in itself could be quite a consideration

with you, Mr. Fogarty.

Yes, but if James or Needy is going to bid for the ship himself.

Well, in that case, our transaction can't stand.

So it's imperative that we find out.

James says she'd beat everything on the seat from the resort.

Now, fine time to buy a shit.

Oh, the right time if it's a bargain.

What was it?

Quite the stay at home these days, aren't you, James?

That's nice to be with your wife at a time like this.

It's dinner ready yet.

It will be soon if the fire's not gone out.

Anne says you're not going to buy that house in Trinity Road after all.

Elizabeth, I've told you before. Keep out of all affairs.

You mean to leave her here, don't you?

Your profits and your ships come first, even before your own child.

Anne is as anxious as I am that our child shall make no difference

to our way of life.

She readily understands that if I need to put the affairs of the Anita 9

before a ball-fronted window or a lace cup of cotton, I'm very right to do so.

Well, am I not right, Anne?

Of course, James.

I must go.

I left the servants' spring cleaning, and without but away,

they're inclined to grow laks in their duties.

How lucky you are, Anne, not to be troubled with these problems.

Next time our sister comes to call our visor to be a bit more reticent with your comfort,

isn't it, eh?

Could you put some more coal on the fire for me?

I've managed to fill the bucket, but it's a little bit more fine hard.

Anne, if it should be necessary to find more than 500 pounds,

would you bring grudge me the expenditure?

Well, how could you raise the money?

Sell some of the shares.

In that case, couldn't you sell a few more, and we could have a house as well?

Yeah, yeah, before the Maria de Glorier made enough profit to buy back the shares.

And a house couldn't make any profit to buy them back?

So, yeah, it would be grudge at me, eh?

I can manage the shares without undue accession at the moment, but not the coal.

I'm so sure more than the moment.

But as of the moment, I make two boats.

I hope I'm not in commolding you.

Oh, I'm not expected on the Miss Callen.

Well, I'd heard your wife was with child, and knowing there'll be times when you're away at sea,

I wanted her to know if there was ever anything I could do.

My wife has everything she needs.

I came out of kindness, not charity.

Oh, won't you sit down, Miss Callen?

Afraid you find us ill prepared for visitors?

This play make no ceremony for me, Mrs. Anita.

You'll take a glass of something, we have some Madeira.

No, I can see you're just about to die, now.

Oh, boy, I think nobody'd ever had a baby before.

Well, your wife has never had one before.

It's not expected for another six months yet, at least.

Well, let's hope you're home for the happy event, and that by then your fortunes will have turned sufficiently to provide for it.

Miss Callen, why have you called?

I admit that whilst here I didn't tend to make inquiries about something else,

about my concern for your wife is no less genuine for that.

This ship you salvaged, Mr. Fogarty and I were wondering whether it was worth going over to Ireland to bid for her.

Well, would I tell you if it were?

Well, you would, I think, if you knew, in fact, it were not.

What if I were to tell you that the Maria de Gloyer is so unstable that she'd found her after hitting the first gale,

that she saw on sea worthy that I should have let her to sink?

What would you infer from that, eh?

That I wanted you out of the way so I could get her cheaply myself?

Very possibly. My uncle may have underrated you, but I do not.

Hmm. Well, whoever buys the Maria de Gloyer buys a pig in a book.

For £500, she could be worth it or she could not.

For the Callen company, it's not much of a risk.

But, uh, for me, wife and myself, expecting, uh, first, uh, well, we've got better things to spend on on you.

Well, I appreciate your candor.

I'm good, then, as a needed.

I only see myself out.

Good day.

No, I'm just gonna...

Here.

That should kill any interest in a day, are they?

Now, unless anybody else has heard of that ship, she's as good as ours!

Oh, James, stop it.

Stop what?

It all seems so petty.

And that ship could be the way back for us.

Another ship, another gamble.

Oh, I'm sorry, I just got so weary.

I'll get you dinner. I fear it'll be overdone.

I'll see you sailing today, Mr. Baines.

I'm Mr. Bogarty.

On Eden's income, and...

His wife's with her now, saying goodbye, we sail on the tide.

Oh.

So we won't be on hand to see what he might get for salvaging that schooner.

The auction's tomorrow.

He's not expecting much from that.

Got his fingers burnt there, didn't he?

Why don't you buy us her? You could afford a few thousand?

A few thousand?

Of course, you're not worth more than three or four hundred from what I'm told.

Captain O' Needon never wants to hear of the Mario the Glorier again.

I'm not surprised, Mr. Baines.

Well, why are you sailing today?

That I'll ship cos money.

You'll load it sooner than I counted on, so why wait?

So that you can go to Ireland to buy that schooner?

Oh, you say that?

Yes.

James, you've hardly spoken a word to me these last two days.

Can't you see I'm trying to make amends?

I want you to buy her.

Another venture, another gamble.

Oh, I was just feeling so weary that day.

Frightened.

I was even a bit envious, too.

I'm a callin' in a fine clothes and Elizabeth.

Look, I don't care a job for our house.

If buying the Mario the Glorier is what we need, well,

that auction's tomorrow. You must be there, whatever it costs.

Oh, man.

Excuse me, sir.

Oh, yeah.

I just thought you'd like to know I full missed a foggity all the way.

He thinks I'm sailing.

I neglected to tell him I got my master's certificate back.

Oh, I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Baines.

Thank you, man.

I told him you know wish to hear of the Mario the Glorier again.

So if you go now, you just have time to catch the pack.

Yeah, only up up up and it doesn't sell as well.

We did early, Bob, with that, if he thought you were to.

You'll have it all the time.

But you were too. You'll have it all to yourself.

It's hope it's worth what you pay for.

I'll be back in a couple of days, eh?

With the school.

So he was going anyway? I should have guessed.

Well, you low-kept no lead in that.

Yes.

But for a while, I forgot.

But what about our fine, our points, Mr. Sanky?

How do I recommend her to the players?

Just say she's a 300-tonne schooner in need of repairs.

A powerful fine schooner in good state of repair.

That is not what I said, Mr. Delaney.

A broad beam sits well on the water, good strong, high in quarters of solids.

She is a ship, not a prize bull.

Maybe, but I'm a deal more skilled at selling cattle than ships.

And there's a, it's something to attract the imagination as it were.

Ah, the Dublin coach.

Let's hope it brings some customers.

Nobody from these parts has money to spare.

I should have thought she was just what was needed for the local potato trade.

There's a small bunch of farmers who formed themselves into a sort of a syndicate.

And if they haven't drunk the money away before the auction tomorrow,

they may be bid a few hundred.

But if you want her to fetch a fair price...

We just want her disposed of, Mr. Delaney.

Ah, here's someone with the right smell of after once about him.

His name's Wilverham. You'll find tomorrow he could well be your man.

And with the gentleman upstairs as well, who is forgetting him.

The gentleman upstairs.

This was hardly necessary.

Just here to observe Mr. Sankey to keep an eye on my interest in the matter.

Good evening, Fogarty.

Good evening, Mr. All-kneading.

James has taken all the money he could raise to Ireland with him.

I don't know why you put up with a dad.

Why, I have a question did I want to do.

I married him for security.

And I love him for the lack of it.

Dear Elizabeth, you wouldn't understand at all.

Three hundred pounds I am bid do I hear for.

Four hundred for this fine schooner.

Now, gentlemen, this auction is conducted by inch of candle.

When the candle burns out, the lot falls, or whatever bid I've been to.

I have accepted that that time.

No. Take heed from my experience as an auctioneer.

In the hope of getting it cheap, you stand to lose it all together if you leave it to the last moment.

So who will bid me four hundred pounds?

Three hundred and fifty.

Three hundred and twenty.

Your friend Wilverham doesn't push the price up soon or need, and you'll get it for me a four hundred pounds.

Yeah, I know he's not going to raise his hand until that candle's near burns out.

Just in time for Wilverham to make another bid.

You can't count on that.

Wilverham knows these auctions by inch of candle.

You can't time them to a fraction of a second.

So keep calm, Mr. Fogarty.

Wilverham will get that schooner for four hundred and fifty.

And our transaction can take place as bad.

But if I need it, you'll get him first.

I'll not risk it.

Do eight a moment, Justin.

Ah, come on now, gentlemen. Surely we can do better than this.

Elizabeth! Wait!

What's the matter?

Less than half an inch of candle left, and I'm still only bid three hundred and fifty pounds.

Do I hear four hundred pounds, Mr. Wilverham?

Ah, thank you, sir.

Now, who will bid me four hundred and fifty pounds?

Yes, Mr. O'Radeen.

Five hundred pounds. Thank you, Mr. Wilverham.

Five hundred and fifty pounds.

With Mr. O'Radeen at five hundred and fifty pounds.

Ah, six hundred, I'm bid.

That's Wilverham's limit. If he goes any higher, we've nothing to gain by selling to you afterwards.

But if our needings should get in now.

Oh, six hundred and fifty, I am bid.

That's your Irishman, the potato merchants.

At least let's see the colour of our needings money.

Seven hundred. I look for seven hundred.

Who will bid me seven hundred pounds?

Seven hundred, Mr. Wilverham.

Can you help me, Mr. O'Radeen?

Seven hundred and fifty, I am bid.

Mr. Wilverham. Eight hundred, Mr. Wilverham.

Now, who will bid me eight hundred pounds?

I am bid seven hundred and fifty.

He's still in at eight hundred, just how much higher can he go?

No, gentlemen, there's only a minute or two.

Time we found out.

And I must have eight hundred pounds.

Yes, sir.

I have eight hundred pounds and the gentleman's just joined us, Mr. Fogarty.

Eight hundred and fifty.

Thank you, Mr. O'Radeen, nine hundred.

Ah, that's better. Nine hundred pounds, I am bid.

Nine hundred and fifty.

A thousand.

Do I hear a thousand pounds?

Well, who will bid me a thousand pounds?

With Mr. O'Radeen there at nine hundred and fifty pounds, do I hear a thousand?

A thousand. Thank you, sir.

Now, gentlemen, time is running out.

Can we say, ah, twelve hundred pounds?

Eleven hundred then.

Who will give me eleven hundred pounds?

With Mr. Fogarty, at one thousand pounds, do I hear eleven hundred?

A thousand hundred, con gentlemen.

James!

Do I hear eleven hundred?

Eleven hundred?

I'm, I bid eleven hundred pounds.

You are, you're leaving it late, sir.

Well, it gets unwitted then.

Twelve hundred.

Ah, twelve hundred, I am bid twelve hundred and fifty.

Fourteen hundred, Mr. Fogarty.

Thank you, sir. Fourteen hundred.

Yes, sir. Fifteen.

That's sixteen.

A seventeen.

Eighteen.

I must have more than this, gentlemen.

Can I hear?

Nineteen hundred pounds.

Will you give me nineteen hundred pounds?

Two thousand.

Two thousand, two hundred.

Two thousand, four hundred.

With Mr. O'Neden at two thousand, four hundred pounds,

will you give me two thousand, six hundred pounds?

Can I say two thousand, eight hundred pounds, Mr. O'Neden?

Do I hear two thousand, eight hundred pounds?

With Mr. Fogarty at two thousand, six hundred pounds,

do I hear two thousand, eight hundred?

You're here two thousand, eight hundred pounds.

Two thousand, eight hundred, I'm bid three thousand.

Two thousand, nine hundred.

Two thousand, eight hundred and fifty.

So to Captain O'Neden for two thousand, eight hundred pounds.

I hope you've got the money, Mr. O'Neden.

You made a deal with Sanket.

I'm not a good one.

I'm not a good one.

I'm not a good one.

I'm not a good one.

I'm not a good one.

I'm not a good one.

I'm not a good one.

I'm not a good one.

You made a deal with Sanket, didn't you?

Octioner off cheaply.

Took me out of my salvage award.

And buy her for the Callen company.

But you didn't know my limit, did you, O'Neden?

Well, you've got yourself a fine ship.

A thousand for the salvage award between the schoolers.

Ask me under two thousand pounds.

And you have but five hundred pounds.

You'll have to sell nearly fifteen hundred pounds with a yours share.

Ah, but she's a fine ship.

Sure.

But on the assault.

You're back.

She'll make more than...

Where's Anne?

In bed.

Ill.

She was lifting the goal for that store.

But no one else here at the time.

A child?

She hasn't lost.

Yes.

But what matter?

James has gained another ship.

Did you get the schooner?

Yeah.

Good.

Good.

That's what we need.
