<v Speaker 1>Escape Escape Tonight to the China Seeds.

00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:19.600
<v Speaker 2>In Typhoon, A Columbia Broadcasting System and its affiliated stations

3
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 2>presents Escape, a new series of programs, of which this

4
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 2>the fourth is Typhoon by Joseph Conrad, produced and directed

5
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>by William N.

6
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 3>Robson.

7
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:38.880
<v Speaker 4>Of all the great authors who wrote of the sea,

8
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 4>none so captured the wonder and the horror of it

9
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.920
<v Speaker 4>as did Joseph Conrad. Tonight we escaped to the China

10
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 4>Seas in his great story Typhoon, told in the words

11
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 4>of a certain mister Jukes, chief mate of the China

12
00:00:53.679 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 4>Coat Steamer Nanshan, a young man of very remarkable perceptions.

13
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 1>I've been sailing the China so long enough to see

14
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>some strange and terrible things, but nothing as bad as

15
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that was. My God himself forgot us, and the whole b.

16
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln universe set out to do us in that night.

17
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>It was the how, But that comes later. I guess

18
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 1>you can't really understand what happened on board the nan

19
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Shan without knowing something about our skipper, Captain mc whirr.

20
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Stupid mcquirr, I called him, and after sailing with him

21
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>for three years, I ought to know what I'm talking about.

22
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>My eye tagged him right off first day he came

23
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 1>aboard to take command in Liverpool it was and mister Siggs,

24
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>who was one of the owners, was showing him around

25
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>the day.

26
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>There's no more modern sheep of flute. I might say

27
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 3>again that you've come to us very highly recommended.

28
00:01:57.719 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 5>Captain mcquirr.

29
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 3>We've a great deal of confidence in you.

30
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, mister Siggs.

31
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 3>She's a brand new ship and a good ship. It

32
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 3>is no reason why you shouldn't continue in command of

33
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 3>her as long as you like.

34
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's that's fine.

35
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 3>She'll be the smartest thing afloat in the Chinese trade.

36
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Why she's put together.

37
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Like a Swiss watch, precision built from stem to stern.

38
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 5>Just a minute, mister Si, what is it that luck lock?

39
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 5>What lock? Here on the cabin door?

40
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>What about it?

41
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 5>You'll notice how it's been set in the frame somewhat

42
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 5>caught at an angle. The ship starts rolling a bit

43
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 5>in the first thing, you know, it snaps open and

44
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 5>leaves the door swinging. It really should be fixed, mister Siggs.

45
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>That's Captain mccluirr, the best birth he'd ever had, new

46
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>command of brand new ship, when, instead of pinching himself

47
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.599
<v Speaker 1>to see if he's awake, he complains out a lock

48
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 1>on the cabin door. See what I mean? I see

49
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>what you mean.

50
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 3>I'll have it attended to right away. I think you

51
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 3>will do all right now, Thanks.

52
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 5>You, mister Simmons.

53
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, everybody knows what the China coast is. You haul

54
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 1>out a Bangkok through a quick run up to Singapore

55
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>and then shove off for Hong Kong two days ashore,

56
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>and you do it all over again, three years of it,

57
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 1>three years of heat, smells, weather, copra, silk and tea

58
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 1>along in there somewhere, the owners decided to transfer the

59
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>ship's registry to the Siamese flag. Don't ask me why

60
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>they just did, that's all anyway. I can tell you

61
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like it. When you grow up under the

62
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Union jack you figure to go on sailing hundred. Not

63
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 1>that the skipper, of course, could understand that kind of

64
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>a feeling on not all stupidly.

65
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 5>Quirk Hi, what is that, mister Jewkes.

66
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 1>They just sent the new flag out from shore, sir.

67
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 5>Here it is oh fine, fine, unbroiled. Let's have a look. Ah.

68
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, in my opinion, sir, it's a queer kind of

69
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 1>flag from man to sail under.

70
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 5>Oh, and what's the matter with it?

71
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, it just looks queer of me, that's all.

72
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 5>Well, now, let's see a white elephant on a red

73
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 5>field just a minute, I'll look it up in the book.

74
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 5>Here we are, Siam, white elephant on the field of

75
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 5>bright red length exactly twice the breadth. So well, there's

76
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 5>nothing wrong with this flag, mister Jewkes. Oh, isn't there

77
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 5>not a thing? I hardly thought that could be. After all,

78
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 5>these people ought to know how to make their own flag.

79
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 5>It stands to reason, does it. Now you must have

80
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 5>it confus with some other flagged mister Jukes.

81
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, all I can say is.

82
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 5>Because you'll have to take care of the semen, don't

83
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 5>hoist the elephant upside down. That is before that are

84
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 5>quite used to it. I presume it might be taken

85
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.759
<v Speaker 5>for a signal of distress. And in that case, the

86
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 5>way I see it, that the elephant stands for something

87
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 5>like the nature of a union jack in the British farce.

88
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh you think so, well, it's like a bloom and

89
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Noah's art, That's.

90
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 5>What it is, mister Jukes.

91
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, sir.

92
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 5>I can't see where the color of a flag could

93
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 5>anywise affects the navigation.

94
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Of all right, Sir Alan struct the hands. It would

95
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 1>certainly be a most distressful sight to see that elephant

96
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>hoisted upside down. Well, that was Captain Mchuurr. Couldn't get

97
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>a thing through his head if you drew him a picture.

98
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>And that's the skipper we had to sail under on

99
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 1>the maddest, wildest trip that any coaster ever took. We

100
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 1>were loading out in Singapore. Half the cargo to already

101
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>come aboard. Now the sun was blazing, and the smoke

102
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 1>from our stacks hung over the decks like a blanket.

103
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>The nan Chan's winches puffed away aft, and the cargo

104
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>chains creaked and clattered across the Komans. I was in

105
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the ways supervising the loading, when mister Rout, the chief engineer, came.

106
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 6>Up here, Jukes, what's going on down there.

107
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:27.480
<v Speaker 5>On the dark looks like a bloomin army.

108
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, mister Round. Must be a marb of

109
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 1>coolies in the moon.

110
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 6>Here comes a captain, would be some of his orders.

111
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.480
<v Speaker 5>Sir, keep between and get geared of cargo. There'll be

112
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 5>two hundred foodies coming aboard, and we'll plant to bank

113
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 5>them down there.

114
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Good lord, where are they bounding?

115
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 5>We'll have to put in there this trip.

116
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but we're not fixed a handle passengers, sir.

117
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:55.480
<v Speaker 5>They'll bring supplies aboard with them. Every man's got a

118
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 5>comfort wood chest. So you'll have to nail deck buttons

119
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:00.600
<v Speaker 5>down there to keep them from lighting.

120
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, sir, I'll see to it.

121
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.720
<v Speaker 5>I've all been working on a plantation not somewhere, two

122
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 5>year contract. They're dying to get home. It wouldn't have

123
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.160
<v Speaker 5>been quite right to turn them down. You may as

124
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 5>well start them coming aboard into.

125
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Jukes, all right, saying all I number one boy, are

126
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 1>the same? Lissen you savvy? Huh? Only fellow catch him

127
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>here top side, catch them step step farther side, only time,

128
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>chop chop, single file now, one fellow, one time, all

129
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the time. We do you suppose they carry on those boxes?

130
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.399
<v Speaker 5>Oh? I suppose they're personal belongings with the Jewkes, And

131
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.240
<v Speaker 5>of course they're two years pay in silver dollars.

132
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.199
<v Speaker 1>There as vicious a looking bunch of murderers as i've

133
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 1>ever seen.

134
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh come now, mister Jewkes, one or two of them maybe,

135
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 5>But in the main. I'd say they're honest workmen have

136
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 5>to be to stick out a two year contract on

137
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 5>one of these plantations.

138
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Just the same, sir. We better not take any chance.

139
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I checked, Lady Waits careful, and mister Jukes, we

140
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.959
<v Speaker 5>can carry them without any overloading a toll.

141
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean that, all right, sir. I'd better go hide

142
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the silverware in the officer's mess He's.

143
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.279
<v Speaker 5>A hard blab to understand.

144
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I could say I had a premonition right then,

145
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.839
<v Speaker 1>and I wouldn't be lying anyway. That's how it started.

146
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>At the hottest time of the year, two hundred and

147
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>half civilized coolies aboard a captain with no more imagination

148
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:34.840
<v Speaker 1>than you could stick in your ear, we steamed out

149
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 1>from Singapore and later course for the port of Fuchow.

150
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, dukes, I don't like it. I don't

151
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.320
<v Speaker 1>like it a bit. What don't you like about it,

152
00:08:58.399 --> 00:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>mister row the.

153
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.559
<v Speaker 5>Luks a thing something ominous about it.

154
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh, there's a bit of a swell running, all right.

155
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>There's not a breath of wind. It's uncommonly hot. That's

156
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>all gives a man the jumps. You're as bad as

157
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 1>the second mate. He's been growing around like the voice

158
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 1>of doom all day. That's the old man. I'll see

159
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:25.679
<v Speaker 1>you later. Keep your steam up the round? Are you

160
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>calling me? Catain?

161
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 5>I was, mister Jewkes. What with all the long conversation

162
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.120
<v Speaker 5>with mister Rout.

163
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Why nothing much, sir. I didn't see any harm in

164
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 1>talking a bit. I'm not on watch, you know.

165
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.399
<v Speaker 5>No, no, nothing wrong with it, nothing at all. I

166
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.720
<v Speaker 5>just wondered what you could find to talk about.

167
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, different things. I don't know.

168
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 5>I've seen people on shore sit around the table and

169
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 5>talk for two or three hours. I never could understand it.

170
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>It's just conversation that's all about nothing in particular.

171
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 5>Seems pretty silly. Well you've noticed the parrometer.

172
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 1>No doubt, Yes, sir, it's driving all in.

173
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 5>Past quite low. Now take a look.

174
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it's driving bad.

175
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.279
<v Speaker 5>Time of the year for that sort of thing, very bad.

176
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Anything you want me to do, sir?

177
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, No, must be some uncommonly dot the weather

178
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:22.000
<v Speaker 5>knocking about somewhere, hey, mister Jewkes, Yes, sir, Well that's all.

179
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 5>Just thought you ought to know about it. That's all.

180
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 5>Carry on, sir, carry on.

181
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh, there's a heavy one all right, night And coolies

182
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>must be having a time of it down below. Lucky

183
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 1>for them, the old Girl rolls easier than any ship

184
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen.

185
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 4>Hey, you just wait?

186
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh you think we may be in for it?

187
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

188
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think anything. You're not going to make

189
00:10:58.480 --> 00:10:59.639
<v Speaker 1>a fool out of me that way.

190
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.480
<v Speaker 4>Mister Jukes. I didn't say a word.

191
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>What's the matter with you? Second, why shouldn't you say

192
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>what you think? If you're a minded.

193
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Herna, you don't catch me?

194
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:13.639
<v Speaker 1>Whoa, there's a little that's pretty rough.

195
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 7>Now?

196
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Whatever is about? We're steaming right into it pack. You

197
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 1>just tried telling the old man Nate, And why shouldn't I?

198
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 1>Matter of fact, I think I'll ask him about this

199
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>cross swell. It's getting worse all the time.

200
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:27.879
<v Speaker 6>I've known skippers to break some right good men for

201
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 6>saying her whole long?

202
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Lest uh Captain mcquirrh, Yes, mister Jewkes, what is it?

203
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>The swell is getting a good deal worse, sir?

204
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I noticed that in here? Anything wrong?

205
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Well? I I was thinking about the passengers.

206
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:44.120
<v Speaker 5>Huh what passengers?

207
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Why the cool is sir?

208
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 5>And if you mean coolst say cool is, mister Jewkes.

209
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.360
<v Speaker 5>A man ought to say what he means, what about

210
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 5>the coolies.

211
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 1>She's rolling her decks full of water. Sir, I thought

212
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you might want to put her head at the swell

213
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.559
<v Speaker 1>for a bit until this goes down.

214
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 5>Of course, so that's it is. Would have headed the

215
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 5>swell four points off the corpse.

216
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's just for a while, sir, as well as

217
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>high as this can't last long. That stands to reason,

218
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:07.679
<v Speaker 1>mister Jewkes.

219
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 5>Take a look at the barometer, good lord, Yes, exactly.

220
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 5>It's a dead calm outside, isn't it.

221
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 1>There's not a breath of air stirring, sir, only that

222
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 1>cross swell.

223
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.080
<v Speaker 5>I've been reading in the book here about storms. It's

224
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 5>a funny thing. If a man believed everything written down here,

225
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.480
<v Speaker 5>he'd spend half his life running to get behind the weather.

226
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 5>If I was to go by what this fellow says,

227
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.279
<v Speaker 5>I'd all to my course and come booming into food

228
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 5>shelf from the north four days late, three hundred extra

229
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.840
<v Speaker 5>miles in distance, and a pretty bill for coal on

230
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:44.080
<v Speaker 5>top of it. I'll tell you, mister Jewkes, if I

231
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.759
<v Speaker 5>knew every word in here it was gospel true, I

232
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 5>couldn't bring myself to do that now, sir, I guess

233
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:51.960
<v Speaker 5>and how's a man to know the book is right?

234
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.480
<v Speaker 5>If you dodge around the spot of deathly weather? How

235
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 5>do you ever find out it was there in the

236
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 5>first place? Answer me that? No, Oh, mister Jewkes. There's

237
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.360
<v Speaker 5>things that a man can't get from books. I've thought

238
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 5>it all out this afternoon. We'll hold her steady as

239
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 5>she goes.

240
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Whatever you say, sir, you're the captain. I guess i'd

241
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>better ride up the log I'm going on.

242
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.679
<v Speaker 5>Watch good. I'd say we're heading into something you bit

243
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.600
<v Speaker 5>out of the ordinary. Call me at once if anything

244
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:22.639
<v Speaker 5>you shows up in the night.

245
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Mister Jukes, All right, sir, I'll say to it. And

246
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 1>mister Jewkes, yes, sir.

247
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.919
<v Speaker 5>If you're going into the chart room, please close that

248
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.600
<v Speaker 5>blinking door. I can stand here the door bag.

249
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:44.080
<v Speaker 1>It, yes, sir. Eight PM. Swell increasing ship, laboring heavily

250
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.399
<v Speaker 1>and taking water in all decks. Still a dead calm

251
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and very hot. Batting down the coolies for the night.

252
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:56.519
<v Speaker 1>The barometer is still falling. All appearances indicate an approaching typhoon.

253
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, hacker, holder steady as she goes. That's all

254
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.639
<v Speaker 1>we can do, Why, sir, I'll sure try to well

255

258
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>mister Jukes. Why didn't you call me? But there was

259
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 1>no warning, sir. It is all of a sudden, about

260
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.159
<v Speaker 1>five minutes ago, blasted right out of a dead calm.

261
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.279
<v Speaker 5>The book was right in some parts. Anyhow, how's he going?

262
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:42.200
<v Speaker 5>The wheelhouse hacked?

263
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:42.320

00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the glass will go, she starts breaking any higher?

267
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:55.600
<v Speaker 5>Oh do you break higher? Mister Jukes?

268
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 1>What's the higher? It's a happy thought. I haven't ordered,

269
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>of course, I say, hey, straight at the winds?

270

<v Speaker 5>Good and the else we can't do, mister Jukes, understand, yes, sir.

271
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 5>Something a man can't fight in books. Just keep her

00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:10.519

297
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.399
<v Speaker 5>below and see to it.

298
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Put things in order. But what shall I do, sir?

299
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 5>I can't tell you up here? Find out what's wrong?

300
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.600

00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, we we took care of everything, sir.

405
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 5>I thought you would. The wind fell all at once,

406
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:37.680
<v Speaker 5>stopped cold. It's been like this for ten minutes now.

407
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.279
<v Speaker 1>If you think it was an easy job to bring

408
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:41.599
<v Speaker 1>that marb under control of.

409
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.920
<v Speaker 5>The coolies, oh say it wasn't. I had to do

410
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:49.160
<v Speaker 5>what's fair by them, though, mister Jewkes, that barometer in

411
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:51.640
<v Speaker 5>there stands at the lowest point I've ever seen a

412
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.720
<v Speaker 5>glass in my life.

413
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:54.079
<v Speaker 1>He may never be more of it.

414
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.960
<v Speaker 5>The worst yet, according to the book, it'll break sudden

415
00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:01.680
<v Speaker 5>now any minute. Top for two of win, and then

416
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:02.200
<v Speaker 5>it hits.

417
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>She's taken a horrible beating, sir.

418
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:07.200
<v Speaker 5>She has, indeed, and she's in for a worse one.

419
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:09.079
<v Speaker 1>We haven't much chance, have we, sir.

420
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:11.720
<v Speaker 5>She may come through it. She's a good chip.

421
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Here's the first puff.

422
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.599
<v Speaker 5>It'll hit us hard when it comes. You left them

423
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:18.519
<v Speaker 5>pretty safe, did.

424
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.400
<v Speaker 1>You, the coolies, we strong lifelines. Gives them something to

425
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:21.880
<v Speaker 1>hold on to.

426
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:24.920
<v Speaker 5>Good. I'd like to give them all the chance we can.

427
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:26.000
<v Speaker 5>Whatever happens.

428
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Ah, they'll be all right, Sarah. I broke out rifles

429
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.759
<v Speaker 1>to rade of the crew. Put them the guarding all

430
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the companion ways leading off the team deck.

431
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 5>You arm the crew, mister Jukes.

432
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh sure, we won't have any trouble with them now,

433
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>says mister Jukes.

434
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.720
<v Speaker 5>Please have those rifles return to the magazines at once.

435
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.559
<v Speaker 5>There'll be work for every man aboard in a few minutes.

436
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:46.480
<v Speaker 5>I can't spare seem under stand around and hold rifles

437
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:47.559
<v Speaker 5>when it isn't necessary.

438
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Isn't necessary, don't you realize those savages. You think we

439
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:52.759
<v Speaker 1>stole her money, but they'll tear us to bits if

440
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:53.759
<v Speaker 1>they ever get out of that deck.

441
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.359
<v Speaker 5>I think they'll understand we're dealing fair by them. Collect

442
00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:58.640
<v Speaker 5>the rifles to Jukes cap.

443
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.880
<v Speaker 1>In its suicide. The best thing we can do is

444
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:02.960
<v Speaker 1>turn the whole mess over to your faridies in food show.

445
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 1>If we have a get there, well, I don't know.

446
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.839
<v Speaker 5>I figured that when anything happens on shipboard, it's up

447
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:11.599
<v Speaker 5>to me to settle it on shipboard, part of the

448
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:14.680
<v Speaker 5>duties of commanding a vessel, mister Jewkes. I have no

449
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:17.599
<v Speaker 5>doubt I'll be able to reach an understanding with these

450
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:18.319
<v Speaker 5>men later.

451
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Understanding you want to see him a while ago and

452
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:22.279
<v Speaker 1>me and the person was down.

453
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.960
<v Speaker 5>There lost their heads a bit. I guess we wonder

454
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:29.720
<v Speaker 5>at that when here she comes. Pick up those rifles,

455
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:33.480
<v Speaker 5>mister Jewkes. And something else. Yes, Captain, if anything happens

456
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.240
<v Speaker 5>to be you'll be in charge. Only advice keep for

457
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.319
<v Speaker 5>facing it. Best t wait to get through facing it.

458
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:43.480
<v Speaker 1>That set up for any man, all right, Captain. I'll

459
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:45.519
<v Speaker 1>remember one thing, bore, mister Jewkes.

460
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 5>Yes, sir, something that always helps to see is to

461
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:50.599
<v Speaker 5>keep a cool head.

462
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Just keep a cool Oh no, keep a cool head.

463
00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 1>A stitch in time saves nine a snow what I'm

464
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the name. I haven't here to deal with a man

465
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:20.319
<v Speaker 1>like that. There was a clear blue sky and bright

466
00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:22.960
<v Speaker 1>sunshine in the morning. We steamed in the food shewl harbor.

467
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Mister Rout was leaning on a hatch combing smoking a pipe,

468
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and the bowsam lounges on the four deck, waiting to

469
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.680
<v Speaker 1>pick up a line from the wharf. And the captain, well,

470
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.440
<v Speaker 1>he was engaged in the most unusual occupation. He was

471
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:39.640
<v Speaker 1>sitting at a table on the four deck, handing out

472
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:43.519
<v Speaker 1>silver dollars to them, blinking coolies, all divided up even

473
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.759
<v Speaker 1>the same amount to each one. Craziest thing you ever

474
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.400
<v Speaker 1>heard of in your life. You see the way the

475
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>captain figured it. Since those blighters had all worked for

476
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:55.480
<v Speaker 1>two years at the same rate of pay, then their

477
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>savings ought to all be about equal. As you can see.

478
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Of course, it was necessarily true by any means, wasn't

479
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:06.400
<v Speaker 1>even legal. But you couldn't tell him anything. Well that,

480
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:10.640
<v Speaker 1>mister Jewkes, Yes, sir, coming captain.

481
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.359
<v Speaker 5>Well, mister Jewkes, I've disposed of our little collection of

482
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:15.920
<v Speaker 5>silver dollars that's great.

483
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Only way to those boys get a sure and file

484
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:19.200
<v Speaker 1>claims against them.

485
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:22.319
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, they won't do that. As a matter of fact,

486
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:24.839
<v Speaker 5>they we're quite pleased at having it arranged that way.

487
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:27.839
<v Speaker 5>I figured it might avoid a lot of arguments later,

488
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:32.400
<v Speaker 5>they said, the spokesman the thank well, I'll be mister Jewkes.

489
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:35.200
<v Speaker 5>You may as well give all the hands six hours

490
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:37.519
<v Speaker 5>leave before we start working the cargo.

491
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 9>Whatever you say, captain, Oh yes, and before the carpenter leaves.

492
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 9>I wish you'd have him fixed the lock on that

493
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.720
<v Speaker 9>pot cabin door. But that seems to have got broken

494
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 9>somehow during the storm.

495
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:51.759
<v Speaker 7>I suppose I can't stand to hear the door banging,

496
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 7>mister Jewkes. I, sir, I I don't suppose it matters

497
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:57.200
<v Speaker 7>that the ship is battered from stem to stern, half

498
00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:59.920
<v Speaker 7>her topside carried away and smashed, so she looks like

499
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:01.079
<v Speaker 7>a blooming tins and freighter.

500
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 5>Mister Jewkes, I don't understand you.

501
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 1>You don't understand me, sir. Do you understand that we've

502
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 1>come through the worst typhoon in the China season twenty

503
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:10.599
<v Speaker 1>years were the only ship that got through.

504
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 5>It's true, I suppose we were a bit lucky.

505
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:16.519
<v Speaker 1>Lucky, sir, with two hundred murdering cutthroats running loose a

506
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>board in the very heaven's doing their worst.

507
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:20.200
<v Speaker 5>We had a job to do and we did it.

508
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.680
<v Speaker 5>That's all, mister Jewkes. That's the important thing.

509
00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 1>Yes, sir, that's that's all. That's all, he says, A

510
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 1>job to do, A bit lucky. What can you do

511
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.799
<v Speaker 1>with a man as thick as that? And then as

512
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I started to turn away, Captain mcchhuru said something else.

513
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 1>It surprised me. With emotion wrung from the very bottom

514
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 1>of his soul, he he uttered words, I never thought

515
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I'd hear it coming from so so stupid a man.

516
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:53.440
<v Speaker 5>But I'm glad we brought her through, mister Jewkes, truly

517
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:57.640
<v Speaker 5>I am. She's a good ship, mister Jewkes, A good ship.

518
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:03.599
<v Speaker 5>I should have hated to I should have hated to lose.
