The land 193 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.600 had sunk away from them in the night.

A calm fell, 196 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:38.000 an absolute calm. The air hung waiting, the sea heaved 197 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:44.799 and fell in polished undulations, and the sun shone. They 198 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:50.360 crawled to the shelter of their mats, gasping, shriveling, while 199 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:55.840 the fourth man, the Savage, the beast sat silent and unmoving. 200 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.279 The water, the world. 201 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.799 Of water was whacked thick as all. 202 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:11.679 How lonely it is, doctor Duvos.

Whenever I raise my eyes, I 220 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.320 see nothing else, only this knack. 221 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:30.240 He seems to be enjoying himself quite well, Yes. 222 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.559 I was thinking so myself. 223 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:40.519 The cannibal, the savage, doesn't seem to suffer.
