G. Weld's famous story Jimmy Goggles the God. 10 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.239 Why doubt you'll remember anything of the Ocean Pioneer, So 11 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.079 a bit of the story that came to public knowledge, 12 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:14.400 made headlines and the newspapers at the time. Timey now 13 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.519 that I think of, it's been over forty years ago. 14 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:23.280 It espens forty years and betimes. Yet I can still 15 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.959 wake up in the middle of the night and see 16 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.439 that cold, dead eye at Jimmy Goggles, staring at it 17 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.239 from the darkness they had. It gives me the creeps 18 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:38.159 even now. It all started night the Ocean Pioneer went 19 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.799 to the bottom of the Summer coast. Only two survivors, 20 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.120 aside from myself, came out of that treck. Mister Sanders, 21 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.319 the first mate, and a seaman named Jacob. With a 22 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.079 bit of luck, we had enough food and water in 23 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:52.920 the longboat to see us safe to Papua. 24 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.680 He wait a thre nble to put us on dryland again. 25 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.400 I just n give the work for Captain Wells and 26 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.959 ten of the lads back there on the twenty fair 27 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.759 them of breaking green water they are and all laying 28 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.080 back there, either lads you. 29 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.840 Meaning something more?

Not necessarily, Eh, what 40 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.199 is it you're meaning to say? I'm the only man 41 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.680 alive norship position when she's on there you are. 42 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:57.360 Go on, mister Thunders. 43 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.280 When we get the papaway fourth ship struck one hundred 44 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.560 masters to the north, then the salvage goes there. We 45 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.240 come here and pick up a type of fortune for ourselves. 46 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:08.680 And how do we come here? 47 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.599 My brother in law is a brig in the Sydney trade. 48 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:19.439 He's coming mech my lad, are you out forty thousand pounds? 49 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:27.840 Amen? Hie forty thousand pounds a Roman Fortunately for the taken. 50 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:42.039 Of course, we went in on it in febuous. Sondras 51 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.199 made the arrangements with his brother in law, Kid and 52 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.759 Fergussons an important later we set forth in the brig 53 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.120 Pride of Daniel. There we're just the four of us 54 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.560 and the diving suit. It was one of them kind 55 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.199 of diving suits don't have a pumper. Airline carried its 56 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.599 own tank of compressed Sara ted so you could walk 57 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.240 around on the bottom independent black. We hung the suit 58 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.479 on the wall in a mess room, and believe me, 59 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.000 it was some bright times we enjoyed besides it. During 60 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.240 the three weeks the Pride of Banya beat intowards Sonner Channel, 61 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.040 we'd wonder how long it'd be before we'd get there, 62 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.279 what the sell ship might be fine in one hundred 63 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.120 miles away from the wrecks, and all that time meting 64 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.040 like we had the care in the world, and that 65 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.279 confounded dive into the sway back and forth like a 66 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.160 regular human being. It was the glass window in the 67 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.360 front stair and like a big guy in the middle 68 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.920 of its set copperhead. We got selles. We talked to 69 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.040 it like it was somebody. We even give it a name, 70 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.439 Jimmy Goggles. We called it Jimmy Goggles. And every time 71 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.240 we'd break up in some run, we'd bore a glass 72 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.720 and so into Jimmy Goggles. So by the time we 73 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.639 got to Sonner Stead a smell and robbery is side 74 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:11.360 was as sweet as the cask run. When we found 75 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.360 the place, we was afraid to take the brig into 76 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.079 the rocks where the wreck was lying, so we anchored 77 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.399 about half mile off and all of us road to 78 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.560 it in the long sit. Hi, he's still there all right. 79 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.839 I can see the trip of one of our mats. 80 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:24.240 Above the water. 81 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.720 The take a mask that's a fortunate below arm interested 82 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.680 in Hopefully it's a good air lay dead to the port. 83 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.920 Be Hey, is it still agreed? 84 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.319 I'm the one to go inside Jimmy Goggles to make 85 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.240 the first trip down.

Take m yrmunder. I'm not an 98 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.160 old woman, I reckon. I look forty thousand pounds of 99 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:15.519 cure heap before that side. 100 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.879 I'm ready to step to secure the face place. You 101 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.519 know how to operate the bove t and turn on 102 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:21.839 the air. 103 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:29.319 George, you'll find the chase in Captain's cabin. Move it 104 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.600 if you can. Or he brought the chances of getting 105 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.000 a line on it rich. 106 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.040 And good luck, Hey, good luck. Hell, here we are. 107 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.720 I closed the little glass window in my helmet and 108 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.480 fatly then I adjored the turn. Thomas was saying something, 109 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.279 but I couldn't make out what it was. We didn't 110 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.319 have no letter. So I slid over the stern and 111 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.519 hunger by the gunnel for a minute. With the helmet 112 00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.800 out of the water, I took a last look at 113 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:09.920 the go they and I let go slow. It was 114 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.920 I sunk down through that green water. The only sound 115 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.639 was the air of bubbling out of a helmet though 116 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.600 but well do you understand was the only way out 117 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.480 of control, and the descent of old Jimmy goggles. He 118 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.920 opened it up, down you'd go if he climbed it 119 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.920 fairly tight, for sew could get full of air, and 120 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.600 up you up as fast as a man came to full. 121 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.639 Five minutes more it took to think that twenty fathom 122 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.560 and then ghostly sea ferns when slitherin, passed like snakes, 123 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:45.800 and big purple and red clumps of jagged coral, and 124 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.560 the light from the surface getting dimmer and dimmer. It 125 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.120 was by the time I hit the bottom was putting 126 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:57.319 near dark. I was happy to find myself come right 127 00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.399 down on the deck of the old ocean pie. Heer 128 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.959 uh familiar sight she was saving for the crab, the 129 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.079 skittering around and planks, the blooming fish swimming past my 130 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.800 head and goggling in through the window of my helmet. 131 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.600 I made my way to the second cab. Right before 132 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.600 the door, I stumbled onto a blank and skeleton. 133 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.279 Lying there on the deck as peaceful as you please. 134 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.439 Certain by the gold braids still hanging on it, it 135 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.399 had been all kept and wells itself, so there weren't 136 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.559 enough left of it now to make a decent meal 137 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.799 for a hungry guppy. Bob Doran and I very gentle 138 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.320 when I touched it, and all the time was wearing 139 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:46.919 an awable green on his bony face, like to give 140 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.960 a man the shivers. I tell you certain I got 141 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:51.919 through the business down there as quick as I could, 142 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.080 found the chest to girls and figured out the best 143 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.840 way to get a blocking line on it. But even 144 00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.840 so it must have been an half hour for I 145 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.919 clamp the air of the alb and started for the top. 146 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.679 Half way up, something hit my helmet and slid on 147 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:13.879 down passed. I found myself looking right into the bloom 148 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:19.759 and face of first made Sombers. His mask was hanging open, 149 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.320 and a kind of pink smoke was drifting out of 150 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.759 it and making a claud in the water. So he 151 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.279 had a spear run through his neck from one side 152 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:38.559 to the oven. He was dead on the metro. He 153 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:42.799 sunk on pat out of sight, and then Jacob drifted 154 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:44.480 down from above, and I. 155 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.919 Could see his head was all twisted to one side 156 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:47.200 like and. 157 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.799 His neck was broken. He was dead too. 158 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.279 Then it hit me the left on top of it in. 159 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.320 Mexica, by both load of them blooming even savages and 160 00:09:58.519 --> 00:09:59.000 like as. 161 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.080 Not about my head up the same what happened. 162 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:06.759 To me, Oh brody click took neomet fells and shut 163 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:13.919 down toward the bottom. I sat down there on a 164 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.480 sunken rock for an eye on to fifteen minutes, again 165 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.759 trying to figure out what to do. But anyway a 166 00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.480 man had to look at it, there were but one answer. Finally, 167 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.000 crazy as it seemed, I got up and started out 168 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:38.960 to walk ashore. After a while, the bottom began to 169 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.200 slope up and it wasn't so dark anymore. 170 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:43.039 Finally myom hat. 171 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.279 Poked up out of the water. I saw the beach 172 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.320 about fifty yards away, with dark jungle right behind it. 173 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.799 I flushed on through the water and came out on 174 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.279 the sand. Then I opened the face plate and Jimmy 175 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.720 Gogo's dead and cut off here from the tank and 176 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:04.480 took a deep breath of a natural kind. It's when 177 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:09.200 I saw them at least one hundred blinking savages painted 178 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.159 up like bensheet. It stepped out of the brush and 179 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:16.360 started moving towards me, slow, beaten, soft on a couple 180 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:22.480 of drums and grawl and low and easy like well, Georgia. 181 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.360 But you're in for it now, I tells myself. Up 182 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.559 a mile of underwater walking, and you're still forgetting your 183 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:35.080 blooming throat cut. I snapped the faceboat part where shut 184 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.679 and cracked the air of over a bit. The diving 185 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.440 suit swelled up like a blessed frog, and I started 186 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.879 walking toward them. When I got close, they moved back 187 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.600 along two sides of kind of paths, and I walked 188 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:50.919 right down the middle of it. It led back into 189 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.240 the jungle, and so he quickly come out in a 190 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.440 little clear and where the grass up standing in the 191 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.879 middle of it, and sitting in front of the ut 192 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.600 was an eaven idol that and Cora would was grinning. 193 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:06.399 About as idiots as he ever opened to the sea. 194 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.480 And the idea I was gonna spot I couldn't be 195 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.720 much worse, and maybe it would work. The natives seemed 196 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.159 to be oded by Jimmy goggles already, so I reached 197 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.039 out and gave the idol a great bush. 198 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.679 If any second of fear, come my gullet. 199 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.039 I looked up, BLI me if the measings weren't down 200 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:38.200 on their faces worshiping like med it had worked. Oh 201 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:42.000 not me, understand. In the manner of speaker was Jimmy 202 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.559 Goggles with his copperhead and his one glass eye with 203 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.120 me inside him. I'd seen him walk up out in 204 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:53.159 the sea, and the second he was a god old 205 00:12:53.399 --> 00:13:05.639 Rumso Jimmy Goggles a regular blooming gosh. After a while, 206 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.480 I began to get on my nerves or I went 207 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.279 inside the other They stayed outside and didn't follow me, 208 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.279 but they didn't go away neither. In a couple of hours, 209 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.759 it started to get dark, and I was wondering if 210 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:19.600 they meant to spend the rest of their lives out 211 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:24.120 there bowing on the ground. Finally, a tall native, sided 212 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.840 up like a circus clown, stepped inside the door and 213 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:32.480 stood there just grinning like old satan yself.

What's the ceremony? 259 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.279 A little piece of business with owner of brink. We 260 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:19.200 have toured humanlife, you know, Captain Ferguson, Mm hmm. 261 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.679 What kind of business? 262 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:24.519 A bit of this, a bit of that. When they 263 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.919 get done, they cook him, of course, cook him well. 264 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.519 Now you wouldn't expect boys to eat him raw. He 265 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.840 wouldn't be civilized, you know. H cnemony. 266 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:46.879 God, it was pretty horrible, all right, but what was 267 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.440 one thing and another? I didn't feel as bad about 268 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.159 it as I might have. That's all I hadn't known 269 00:16:53.159 --> 00:17:03.320 that captain too well anyhare. Nearly a month went by 270 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.200 in mighty uncomfortable fashions, and all the time Mamala was 271 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.240 trying to figure some way to get that gold out 272 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.480 of the wreck. I was right in with him at first, 273 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.119 and I got to notice, and now he was always 274 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:20.480 saying what he could do with forty thousand pounds. And 275 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.400 then I'd kind of remind him we was atfles and 276 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.000 he'd grin strange like, and so that's what he meant 277 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.400 all the time. But I didn't trust him, no, and 278 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.039 I've got it stolen every way. I couldn't things stated 279 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.880 about as they were. I kept on being a garden. 280 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:39.880 We couldn't get no proper chance to go after the gold. 281 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.079 Then one morning Mamala and most of the tribe went 282 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.400 back into the jungle to hunt. I was sitting in 283 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.440 the hut trying to think of some way to do 284 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.400 for that eason. Before he could do for me, I 285 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:57.079 happened to hear voices outside. I sneak to looked through 286 00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.680 the palm stetch was an Englishman dressed up fit to 287 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.720 kill him.
