Their bodies were blackened with 19 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.000 dried blood, and the hair upon them was long and matted. 20 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.480 They wore only the rags of blue convict's uniforms on 21 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.640 wrist and ankle.

Doctor, you're a marvel a magician. 29 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.400 Look at them, white and fresh as though they just 30 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:18.800 came from the package. 31 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.120 How did you do it? 32 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:24.639 Oh? Every six months there are about seventy five escapes 33 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.520 from New Maya, and not more than one succeeds. Ours 34 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.280 would be that one I knew, so three weeks ago 35 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.319 I bribed the nightguard for these very cigarettes, so that 36 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.879 we might sit here, my friends, as we are doing, 37 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.960 and celebrate. I want a light, a light for the pet. 38 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.560 Our doctor is a wonder. He thinks of everything. He 39 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.680 gives us cigarettes, matches and our freedom. 40 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.840 Wait till you've got your two feet on a pavement again. 41 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.360 That'll be the time to sound off about freedom. 42 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:03.759 To wear starched car again. Stole the girl, clean and 43 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.319 fresh from her bath. Down the place La concorde. 44 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.360 Suppose we get a storm. 45 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.400 It's not the season of storms. 46 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.319 Just the same. Suppose we get a storm. 47 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.919 Arrikay, my friend, you must not be so impatient. Remember 48 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.599 we were convicts back they're festering and oblivion. Now we 49 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.199 are men raised from the dead. 50 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:31.520 Suppose we get a storm. 51 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.759 You've got a gift of speech.

There's a 56 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.159 government launch at Toryen. And I doubt if the native 57 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:51.360 trackers have given us. 58 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.599 A careful parrot. The natives leach you, yet. 59 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:59.360 I've heard about that. It's a true doctor, that they'll 60 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.680 keep all oneaways that can capture to fatten on. 61 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.560 Oh they prefer the reward. Still, I doubt if they've 62 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.479 entirely lost the habit of cannibalis. 63 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:11.400 Peace by peace. 64 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:11.759 Parrot. 65 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.280 First they'll sample you, then they'll make a stew out 66 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.519 of your brains. Oh, they won't miss a thing. 67 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.120 Shut up, philar room, the filthy brutes. 68 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.279 Oh, I almost forgot. 69 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.360 We have one of them with us. 70 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.879 The fourth man was steering the raft. 71 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:36.920 He sat crouched in the. 72 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.319 Stern, his body glistening with spray. His huge, dark hands 73 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:42.519 held the steering paddle. 74 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.240 He was motionless, like. 75 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.399 An idol, his eyes fixed on the course ahead. 76 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.160 The fourth man on the raft. You are looking at 77 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.720 a canarch, my friends. You will see nothing superior, no 78 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.000 line of beauty to redeemed, the low angle of the forehead, 79 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.040 the knobby joints of the body. Nature has stamped him 80 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.319 with the mark of inferiority, and he has set the 81 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.480 final seal himself with that twist of bark about his middle, 82 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.000 that prong of pig ivory through his nose. 83 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.680 Yes, but none the less, he is a man, and 84 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.800 there is a price on our heads. 85 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.079 He could be taking us. Worry alike, arm yourself and 86 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.439 areou This is a very simple animal and Infantryly. 87 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.759 Does that mean he couldn't double cross us? 88 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.439 It does. He is bound by his duty. I made 89 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.839 my bargain with his chief up the river, and this 90 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.000 one is sent to deliver us on board our ship. 91 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.439 That's the only interest he has in us, and he'll 92 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.680 do it. He will. That is the nature of the native. 93 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.399 Now I don't trust him, not for a minute, the. 94 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:56.600 Brute, the animal. You it's you.

He speaks no language, only a 97 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.879 few noises, few signs. 98 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.199 I don't feel right on the same wrath with that. 99 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.319 Where burn yourselves up in the sun if you like, 100 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.240 But me, I'm going to crawl under a mat. 101 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:20.600 Get asleep. Yes, we should all sleep a little, conserve ourselves, 102 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.720 and when we awake, our ship will be here, a 103 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.439 saucy little topsail schooner, a mass standing out against the sky, 104 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.360 and will be on our way to France.

He stood once again to sweep 108 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.480 the skyline under his sheted hand. His plan had been 109 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:01.240 so careful, so precise. He had counted absolutely on meeting 110 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.000 the ship, a small schooner, one of those flitting, half 111 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.680 piratical traders of the Copra Islands that can be hired 112 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.000 like cabs in a dark street for any sinister enterprise. 113 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:18.360 And there was no ship, and there was no crossroads 114 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.720 where one might sit and wait. 115 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.319 Eh, good morning, doctor. 116 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.399 It's afternoon phenero. 117 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.399 Oh, yes, so it is I slept like a corpse. 118 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.480 Hey, where's the ship?

This crew 124 00:07:58.600 --> 00:07:59.519 is put on rations. 125 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.040 What are you talking about? Where's that water? 126 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:04.399 I have it here? 127 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.759 Show your hair?

We don't know how long we may be 131 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:21.600 floating here. 132 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.920 Oh so that's how you talk. 133 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:24.279 Now. 134 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.079 You don't know how long.

She cannot 137 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.080 stay for us in one spot. She'll be cruising to 138 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.879 and fro until she intercepts us, and we must wait. 139 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:41.200 Er. 140 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:42.639 That's good.

Why you deal us out water 143 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.120 drop by drop? 144 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:52.159 Perhaps? 145 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.559 No, a man doesn't live. Who can feed me with 146 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:56.240 a spoon? 147 00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.799 Unless you would die very speedily? We mist guard our 148 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.639 We can only do our best with what we. 149 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:09.799 Have all right, doctor, do your best.

But his body 160 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.440 has never known clothes, his feet shoes. His heart has 161 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.559 never known the swelling that comes with feelings of love 162 00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:00.240 or beauty. His mind has never known a single thought. 163 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:06.279 Look at us, three gentlemen. You pheneraoh, a forger, you 164 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:12.080 parrot a thief, and I, doctor Dubos of Paris and Marseilles, 165 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:18.639 a murderer. And yet we are civilized men, and this 166 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.159 is a savage general, and our provisions are for civilized 167 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:24.600 men only. 168 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:37.679 And the three men awoke to the second day on 169 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:42.440 the raft. They looked and saw the far round horizon 170 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.000 and the empty desert of the sea, and their own 171 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.120 long shadows that slept slowly before them over its smooth, 172 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:53.879 slow heaving. The land had sunk away from them in 173 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:58.879 the night. The trap had been sprung as the savage 174 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.600 sun kindled upon with the power of a burning glass. 175 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:08.600 A calm fell, an absolute calm. The air hung weighted, 176 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:14.200 the sea heaved and fell in polished undulations, and the 177 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:18.840 sun shone, driving in under their eyelids like white hot splinters. 178 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.720 They crawled to the shelter of the mats, gasping, shriveling. 179 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:29.639 And the water, the world of water was slack and 180 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:30.720 thick as oil. 181 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.480 Oh, how long it is, doctor devous? 182 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.279 Yes, parrot, look around you?

My friends will not fail me. 197 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.840 Why how do you know? How can you be so sure. 198 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.919 There's a safety vault in Paris full of papers to 199 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:32.200 be opened at my death. Those papers contain confessions. No, gentlemen, 200 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:34.320 my friends will not fail me. 201 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.600 But perrot eh. 202 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.759 A moment ago you asked me what I saw, Well, 203 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:46.480 there was something I neglected. 204 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:47.600 What's there? 205 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.360 I see a canack and this raft with us. He 206 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.120 does not join us, He does not look at us. 207 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.559 He sits on his heels in the way of the Native, 208 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:03.320 with his arms hut his knees. He sits at the stern, motionless, 209 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.279 under the shattering sun, gazing out into it, into vacancy. 210 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:12.720 Whenever I raise my eyes, I see nothing else, only 211 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:13.320 this cannock. 212 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.879 He seems to be enjoying himself quite well. 213 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:23.840 I was thinking so myself. The cannibal, the savage. He 214 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.200 does not seem to suffer. What's going on in his brain? 215 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:29.120 What does he dream of? 216 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:29.600 There? 217 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.039 He looks as though he hates us, a dirty rat. 218 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.759 Maybe he's waiting for us to die. Maybe he's waiting 219 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.080 for the reward. At least he wouldn't starve on the 220 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:44.039 way home. He could deliver us, please my peace? 221 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.320 Oh does he do a doctor? Hasn't he any feeling? 222 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:54.200 I've been wondering. It may be that his fibers are 223 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.799 tougher his nerves. 224 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.759 But we've had water and he hasn't yet. 225 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.639 See his skin it's moist and fresh. 226 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:06.240 And his belly that is a football. Don't tell me 227 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.159 this savage is thirsty. Is there any way he could 228 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.399 steal our supplies? 229 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:12.080 Certainly? 230 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:12.279 Not? 231 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:17.679 Suppose he has his own supplies hidden?

Doctor, he can you say he 237 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.960 has no understanding? There's one thing he can understand. 238 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.879 Hey, not too much. 239 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:48.720 Her? 240 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.120 That will teach you?

Why do we look and look? The schooner can't 249 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:27.679 help us. Now. If we're becolmed, then they are too. 250 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.000 Doctor, Is that true? 251 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:31.600 Yes? 252 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.159 We must talk for a breeze first. 253 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:37.039 Then Why didn't you tell us we trust you? Why 254 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:38.840 do you keep on playing out the farce? 255 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.759 You are wise, doctor, you are very wise. 256 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:46.039 Put down the knife, parrot. 257 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.480 You know things we don't, and you keep them to yourself. 258 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:56.679 All right, But be careful if you think you use 259 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:01.360 your wisdom to get the best of us. Be careful, doctor, 260 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.960 because I still have the knife. 261 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.360 And so the days dragged by, the second, the third, 262 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.039 and now it was the fourth day, and still there 263 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:25.480 was no breeze, and still there was no ship. A doctor, 264 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.759 as what do you what do you stare at him? 265 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:39.120 At him, at him the native, the canark?

It is a man, a miracle. It is 271 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.920 a man, and a very poor and wretched example of 272 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:14.480 a man. You'll find no lower type anywhere. Look at 273 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.119 his cranial ankle, the high years, the heavy bones of 274 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.880 his skull. He's scarcely above an ape. 275 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:22.720 And what. 276 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:25.839 He has a secret? 277 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:28.960 Uh secret that. 278 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.960 We see him every movie makes every minute What chance 279 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.039 has he for a secret? 280 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:42.440 Absurd?

Such 286 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:09.839 things are known among primitive peoples, known and jealously guarded, 287 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:15.519 like the properties of certain drugs, the uses of hypnotism. 288 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:17.119 Who knows? 289 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:20.720 We can know?
