I don't know if I was going to be too lazy to test this camera for you...

So don't forget, it.

For details of what's going on,

you'll be okay

with all the partISON

There's no words

Gerry want to defend

What can I-

Well, I hope

what will I wear

Maybe read that

I gotta wear it

Captain Bains. I am and you must be a leader. One of the chap's point to do out

Don't take passage with you

You are bound for South Africa I believe

All of us may will do admirably this is no passenger boat, but you do have a comedy

See well informed I also have a recommendation from Sir Daniel Fogarty

He said you were a sharp fellow need him

Of a very simple sort of a chat he has his reasons Mr.. Sresher be done in a moment and lady thank you

She's gives

It's ten days now since the funeral and she hasn't been out of the house once well

It's up to us to stop her from brooding isn't that why we're here? Oh tragedy she and James

So looking forward to a son and within two days that poor little Sarah talk like that isn't going to help let it

How are you let it Sarah and I would just pass oh quite well. Thank you. Can I offer you some refresh?

No, no, we won't stay long I called really to ask if you and James would care to have dinner on Saturday

Oh, that's very kind of you Elizabeth, but well, I'd rather not if you don't mind well say I will be there with Samuel

It'll be a family girl. Well all the same. I'm sure you'd understand if we'd rather talk it over with James first

Well, I wish

Why don't we shut come over there come and sit

I tried to control

It's just that James is as hardly said work also brother of mine can be so no

No, Elizabeth he wants to I know he does just that what

He should have shut himself off his whole bottled up inside James was never one to show his feelings even at the best of times

I know he agreed deeply over Robert, but he kept all that inside. Please shut off too

He needs my help as much as I need his

Letty the best thing for the pair of you is for you to get with child again. Oh, there's a without no

Oh, no, I have quite made up my mind. No, I shall have no more children those things are not in our heart

Sort of going through that again when there's always the possibility

There was a chance in a house. No, it is if you don't mind and I'd rather not talk about it

Letty with the best of medical attention

I haven't said Sarah I had the best of medical attention

Look, I'm sorry. I I know that you're both mean well

Is this if you don't my I'd rather be left in my home

I see

So you're just going to stay here moping and feeling sorry for yourself. I suppose. Oh Sarah well. She does have others to consider

I had to lay off two of my semesters yesterday

What without supervision your women at the flock works are falling behind with my order and for my girls no flock means no work

Sarah is right Letty

Employers do have a duty to their work people jobs are not easy to come by I'd hate to think that I was the cause of some poor

So facing starvation

They've fallen behind you say unless something has done sooner shall have to lay off more of my

Oh, you say it can't be that bad. You know what they say is when the cats away the muds well

Please

Oh

Oh

Elizabeth and Sarah called today

Elizabeth asked us to dinner on Saturday

What's she going to serve a sympathy James she's got us better sir

Why can't they leave people alone think you've been a bit over there. Oh, letty aside for a moment and talk about us

Now I think you'll agree that we've been growing apart recently I

Wouldn't disagree with that. No, not because of our feelings

But because of our business interests one particular business interest and Liverpool and Manchester Ship can now

Yes, something we can neither agree upon nor disregard

Well as long as I remain the director of that company then there'll be a bone of contention between us

Well, there is an alternative as you were frequently pointed out and there it is

There what is my resignation

Daniel

You've done this for me. Oh, I do love you

Every bit of cargo stowed and all I wait on is the time

You should make a fast passage shouldn't you and I can't wait to get away if the truth is known

Liverpool don't mean much to me these days

Too much noise too many people

When I'm at sea somehow I feel I have time to think

All right, what about

Sometimes nothing at all. I don't know it. It's all it clears my head

You know I I

Will I know go with words?

No, I know what you mean

Some things just can't be put into words. Yeah, that's true

You know I enjoy that run down to the Cape

plenty of Sun

flying fish for breakfast, you know, right? You let me want me to come with you I

Imagine that was your intention. Hey

Well, I want you along with me for I was planning to enjoy myself. Do you think enough getting up to Ben's?

Nothing just that

Couple of months relaxing in the sun doing nothing thinking nothing is just what I need and I'll get that with you along now

Would I take him to speak in your mind quite a bit recently?

I'm Japan's there's nothing wrong with that. Is it after all you doing enough?

Let me tell you this if I want to come on this voice. I will I want the osprey to have a quick turnaround and so she will

You

Land around in the Sun stuffing a belly full of flying fish look I can work this ship just as hard as you can

You sailing in the afternoon. Hey

Don't put your good night then

Daniel

Now that you've resigned from the canal company no doubt the yard will be seeing more of you well not exactly

Daniel well, you know I've been asked to represent a Manchester ward. Well, yes, but there won't be a general election for years yet. Oh

I'm afraid so Joshua Sacherade died last week

There's to be a by-election in Manchester a

by-election

Oh, I see

So that's the reason for your concern not me but the damned canal

With a bill to go through Parliament you could hardly have remained a director of the board and still represented Manchester

And there was I thinking your decision to resign was for my sake but it was this way we both win I

Think you'll make a very good politician. Well, Elizabeth. Do we always have to fight? I'm not fighting

I'm giving in for once gracefully and you don't mind of course I mind you should be representing Liverpool

But I suppose you have to start some Elizabeth. I promise you will don't start talking like a politician

It's passed no good can come of brooding on what might have been if we were meant to have meant

If I thought I'd have to be a penance say all I'm saying is that we've got to pick up the piece. Oh

Pretended never happened. I know yes. I lost a son as well

Look

Why don't you take yourself off to see

What I'm trying to forget, but you won't let go

The way we're both feeling we're no help to one another at all

Do you really mean it I

Think it will be best for both of us

Yes

Oh

Sailing with us sir. I want to make sure you make a fast passage

Breath or see air do you the world of goods?

I'm not an invalid. You know

Come on. Let's make way

All aboard

Ready when you are kept

I paid shallows of his it yesterday

Hmm, that was very candid. Yeah, I'm sure she was supposed to preach it to I sometimes think that Samuel is the most thoughtful member of this family

Not like that skate grace. How was she Samuel? Oh, I found her in quite good health aren't I?

But Sam is it was a kind thought and I appreciate that you were motivated by the highest principle

But you must understand that in this wicked world cruel tongues do wag and we don't want the finger of suspicion pointing the wrong direction do we?

I proposed you

But I asked Charlotte if she would consent to be my wife

Samuel, how could you?

Well, it was a very gallium gesture Samuel, but we'll do have your own future to think of I absolutely forbid it

I'm sorry mother, but I must remind you that I'm a wage

It's only Charlotte that requires permission

That's why I wanted to speak to you aren't letty. Oh, no

News with your uncle James away. I couldn't possibly take on that kind of responsibility

We can hardly wait upon his return. I'm afraid the decision rests with you alone, aren't letty

Well, then in all conscience. I must say no

Good then that settles that really Samuel. I can't imagine what your poor father would have said

Oh, it was my impression that he was quite in favor of the match under totally different circumstances for my part

Those circumstances have never changed

I still love her

Samuel does she love you love that?

I did that she can send it. Oh

She was quite non-plussed at first, but oh, yes, she did

And then she burst into tears

Promise that she'd make a good life. Oh, she promised she promised anything

Did she actually say that she returned your love?

No, not in so many words. I think we should consider what's for Charlotte

Now such a marriage would be a sure recipe for disaster. I cannot possibly agree

Look, believe me. I do have Charlotte's welfare at heart. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. I came prepared for a refusal

You may recollect that in similar circumstances

Aunt Elizabeth also eloped. Hello

Samuel you wouldn't. Oh, yes indeed. I would mother

I'm very sorry aren't letty but Charlotte and I are determined to marry with or without your approval

We thought just a quiet wedding one or two close relatives

And that way one more skeleton can be safely locked away in the family closet

Well, I don't know what James is going to say

I

I

About 220 miles I make it

The wind holds fair. We should side crunchy the market with about four bells and the forenoon watch

I have a hand at the masthead. We don't want to miss it when we're running down the skillet and cook the hot and tots call up the land of

desolation

It's 800 miles long

90 miles wide

salt pans

shifting sand dunes burning desert

No life

Only the bones of men and ships

Thank you for the job lesson, but we have said that but of course before I should hate to pass without

patching sight of a place with such an evil reputation

Put it down to morbid curiosity

Give an offshore wind I don't run foul of leisure there will be ones

called a soup one

The wind that cries

Good afternoon gentlemen

He's an odd fisher passenger isn't he for a man who claims is just curious he's all commonly well

The pole

Is that what you're seeking Mr.. Lisa so yes

Curious isn't it?

It's been there for many years and few reliable landmarks on the charts

Tell me as you say nobody can survive ashore

This coastline keeps its secrets to itself Mr.. Really

I have a proposition to put it to you I thought you might oh

I

Gree and you can keep these as an earnest of good faith

Come ashore with me mr.. Oran even and you can stuff your pockets with diamonds the size of pigeons eggs

diamonds

So that's your mysterious business enterprise a this coastline is littered with diamonds and also no doubt littered with the bones of those

Looking for a percent rays nature has locked the door, but I hold the key

This is the original chart

Masked entrance winding channel soundings bearings from the tall post where did you get this Portuguese West Africa from an old

Prospector another treasure map the world's covered in them. You know

Join the way to Morgan's treasure

To want to sumas halls of gold from King Solomon's minds to a ladens cave

You know the only people to make a fortune out of that other

Other people to sell that rubbish to gullible crackpots with an urge to get rich quicker

This is a very old charge as to old this coast is on the moon the whole town

The same boat

There were no knowledge of navigation

Well, it must have had the devil's own look

Once we landed our luck ran out

Come ashore with me mr. Ooneven

Who need the ospresh he's leaving us I don't want any of the reef

Don't miss to larry to give a pledge of sea rock

I've need a new haven't brought any supplies water biscuits

Man, we're only here three hours. Well, it may take a little longer

No

Read on three hours three hours. It will be that's long enough for any man in this heat. Let's not waste time. Here's the compass which

I

Hey look at that skeleton coast I reckon it was well named

How much further almost there come on come on

Once the sea I look you promised us bucky pools of diamonds and all I seen so far is sand and bones

You're standing on more treasure and you ever dreamed of underneath this sand dune

It is a Spanish galley and loaded with gold plate and bullion

Galleon

So this is the end of your wild coast

Or medium I have seen it

Chests of gold diamonds emeralds rubies all we have to do is to shift this mountain as I tell

My partners and I found it

Partners

What's happened to them

They are still here

We were tunneling when the hill structure collapsed

Like it's not the same would happen to us

When is beginning to shift?

For a bow

We'd best get back no wait you don't understand look let me show you

I

Should be here watch short dig dig

When it came through inside I was outside bragging the chests through I was lucky

I

Brooms I tell you

It's true

Into the dunes we'll take shelter no no I gotta find those tests come on

Oh

Charlotte and Samuel married

I can't credit it looks still as the voice of scandal

It doesn't alter the fact that you haven't come out of this very well young man

No, when did the ceremony take place yesterday? It was very quiet affair just family. Well, you both attended and never told me you could hardly expect an invitation

Well, I didn't make amulous for bitten you the house and I doubt your uncle James will ever forgive you and I can't say that I blame him

I don't get too hard on the boy Daniel after all it wasn't exactly a one-sided affair was it?

Well when your uncle James returns you make your peace with him if you can otherwise you make a point of running the Fraser line off the seas

If he tries he may find he's spitting off more than he can chew

I'm contemplating selling out

What?

Sell the freezer line you can't be serious. I've had a very fair offer home a syndicate

Mr. Bomot knows Bo-mont. I might have known that scoundrel would be at the bottom of it

I know he blighted your political aspirations father, but I would ask you to remember that he's been a good friend to me

Oh, will you will you never know and what part does your good friend Bo-mont play in his syndicate? He doesn't

He acts simply in an advisory capacity

He has no financial interests whatsoever

A syndicate

Your grandfather created that company and I spent ten years of my life fighting to keep it afloat

And yet you have the gall to tell me you'll prepare to sell it off to a bunch of anonymous money bags in the city

Yes, William exactly who are these gentlemen?

I know of most of these men mr. Bomot assures me they are of the highest probate. They are

The

Fraser line will be sold as a going concern the name continues

There has to be a catch in it somewhere

There has to be

Yeah, let's find Peterson get out of this

She was using it to take bearings

You

Must have found it on the reef

I

Could have been blown out to see anyway, we're not likely to see it again

Well not survive a day out there

And if my time was calm I'd rather

Rather it was to see

Hey, well look we're not done for yet

She

Said

First is not stove in there's no sign of the oars

Well, this flotsen will like paddles

What do you reckon? Get up the coast?

No

We'll make for the shipping rate. That's about 150 miles out

Well, then there are settlements about 250 miles away. That's true. All right. We'll head west then

I

Enough to find his way to a telegraph office. Oh, perhaps he simply hasn't had the opportunity

Oh, he may not yet have received out bless his correspondence. He should have I sent it care of our agents in Lisbon

You should have called their weeks ago. Well, then why hasn't he replied? Sure? There must be a simple explanation

Let's take the rest

You're still heading west

I

Have any miles you're at when you've covered six days

15 miles a day

Not not you man, not you

Carried might of help

I

Pabbles picked up a couple on the beach

You know, I reckon we should have buried him

Recon the sandal do that for us some

There's go fever really kill

I

Am what is it, mrs. Bakai? I hope you don't mind me coming up to the house, ma'am. No, what you're making this

Well, it's very good quality very good indeed now

Nothing we get the like of that of the flock works only it came from Albert borrows

Who's he a clerk work for the council lived in my street him his wife and six youngens?

Well two months ago. They moved to park side

Well, well on the wages he got we wondered how he could afford a house in that district

He died last week and now I'm wondering how he could afford a jacket like this

Well, I really know I do mrs. Mcgoy. Does it really matter a while back you were asking around about a company called port side holdings

How do you know about that some of the girls have got big ears?

Anyway, you take a look at this I

Found it in this pocket

What do you make of it Samuel?

Well, it seems that port side holdings are intent on acquiring all this waterfront property

And port side holdings belongs to mr. Bullmott, but look my properties marked and what I've already turned down the offer they made me

Are your buildings freehold? No leasehold, but it's a very long lease. Oh

James we're here he would know what to do

Oh

I'm rather glad father isn't here at the moment. Let's see

Those stuff

Paddles go

Mr. Oh step out of me hand current my car is alone

Just come across a ship so

Oh

And throw a lot together

You

More than 20 years

So when you left me for two years, huh?

You deserve

I

So could have made my peace with let you know

Fine

I should have told her sorry. I wasn't that you son

But in times like that words don't come easy

Oh

Boy oh

Letty that is good news

How much did he weigh five and a half pounds and he's Charlotte. Well. Oh, yes quite well. Yes. I

Won't make an invention of this to win. No

And Samuel has decided not to announce the birth in any of the newspapers very wise

Elizabeth a letter that map you gave to Daniel he has promised to look into the matter for you

But I've seen so little of him the last few days. He's been so busy on the hustings at Manchester

Oh, yes, the bi-election. Will he win? Do you think well? Of course they all adore him and call him the savior of Manchester

But I did remind him of his promise to you when he said the matter was all in hand what that's supposed to mean

Probably the teacher's remembered

Anyway, he's asked William to arrange a meeting with Bo-mon so no doubt I shall know more before then

James we're here. I I wouldn't have to bother Daniel with this matter

Have you still not heard from me?

I look at the list every day, but there's no mention of the osprey so at least it isn't bad news

Oh, you're letting maybe they've put into some remote place for repairs or maybe they simply become maybe he's still so unhappy

But he can't bring himself to write to me or anyone

Well

Well

Hey ain't gone yet, and I do and it'll be the last of the beans

Nobody to follow me either

Don't matter

Not really

Just to me

I've decided I shall sell to mr. Bo-mon's principles

William if you sell the Fraser line to his friends I

Guarantee that within six months the company will be broken up piecemeal and the ship sold off and you will find yourself the

Director of a bankrupt company who shares our worth line and I suggest everything to do with a Fraser line mr. Bo-mon

Daniel show William the map

Now you will see that among the properties port side holdings plan to acquire are the Fraser line offices and key

Josiah that map does not none of a has belonged to me. Oh, but borrows was a very meticulous club proves nothing

Perhaps this will a letter Bo-mon sent to Sir Frederick

Confirming that after the syndicate had purchased the Fraser line they would let him have all the land of water side properties for

50,000 pounds how much would your directorship have been worth then William forgery this is a forger is it

William you surely don't believe him

I'm your friend. We trust one another you told me never to mix business and friendship Josiah

Don't you see he's only intent on ruining me? I don't give a damn what happens to you Bo-mon

But I do care about my son if you're still intent on selling William your father and I will buy the company at the agreed offer

300,000 you may have a directorship, but the company will be under my management. I'll make it

325,000 you said the syndicate wouldn't go any higher feeling desperate Bo-mon

I'll pay the balance myself as an earnest of good faith

That's your cell tonight, Rob you

William don't be so foolish

You have a chance to be your own man

You don't have to be tied to your mother's apron strings anymore

Well think of all the help I've given you

How long do you imagine you would have survived without my guidance? I don't know Josiah

But I intend to find out admitted Bo-mon you've lost the day perhaps

But not the battle

You best enjoy this moments of Daniel

Lady Fogarty

For as long as I live I shall make it my business to ruin you

And I thought him to be my friend

It was a hard lesson William, but one that had to be learned

Now you need time to consider the future

Your father and I have a suggestion and it's one that you will accept

In view of both business and family interests you will take a long holiday

You will go abroad for at least a year and in your absence I will run phrases

When you return old wounds should have healed

Do I have any option? No

Not unless you intend cutting yourself off from your father and I

forever

Why you haven't touched your food it'll be stone cold

Mom

Mom what is it

Because the osprey feels finally been reported as missing

I

I

I

I

Let you I know you don't want to talk about it, but

Sometimes it's better to face the facts

Did I do enough to save our child?

It's a question. I keep on asking myself

We have the Miss doctors I know and they explained in great detail to me about the heart

Should have taken him to London let him

I

James has been missing for over three months home very soon. I know he will you must face facts

We can't believe it any more than you can, but the osprey has been officially put here look as though you've seen a ghost

Oh

How dare you put us through all this torture why didn't you let us know you were safe good and

statement picked us up

Even then it took six weeks

Betty James so much as happens as you don't know it begin and don't bother well to stop

Both of you

Lucky pebble and we was almost done for and when that steamship picked us up

It was clean so tightly in my mouth had to dig it out

We must have been standing on a bed of them and I picked up to and gave one to miss Rowdy

And they just to say man wasn't a time

Pebble and I hung on to it as it keeps a but home were bound it dropped on the deck and a bit chipped off and suddenly there was a diamond

It is it saved my life and I wouldn't part with it for all the gold in the world

It's all done. Yeah, now you remember a paladin I and with a healthy majority

Yeah, you give you a couple of years near the house of lords here. You'll be a duchess yet, you know

Captain Baines very good of you to attend. I've done a lot of things in my life. I never a godfather

Wouldn't you

Bit late in the day, I know

This is Charlotte's doubting. Oh, that's most generous

Oh

15 pounds well, not exactly

Them's 15 original and Eden shares a bottom back from your father that represents a 15% interest

15% of the anneid in line

Oh, no, I couldn't go on well. I'm in a generous mood

I

Think more important than money

Thank you. I'm I really I'm most grateful uncle

father-in-law

Let's say uncle for now until I get my bed. Hi mother

You know it does my art good to see you a mr

O'Nedon so happy together, you know, I always remember when he told me when we were in that boat together and he

Suddenly I've forgotten

In the families more

Come on James

Puss Betty the past

Thanks for waiting I will come
