Speaker 1: Fed up with the every day grind, tired out from
Speaker 1: the summer heat, want to get away from it all.
Speaker 2: We offer you escape, escape designed to free you from
Speaker 2: the four walls of to day for a half hour
Speaker 2: of high adventure.
Speaker 1: You are clinging precariously to a diving, pitching longboat lashed
Speaker 1: by mountainous seas in the middle of a hurricane, and
Speaker 1: at the helm driving you on is a man bent
Speaker 1: on revenge and willing to kill for it.
Speaker 2: To night we escape to the open sea with an
Speaker 2: ancient tramp steamer and its fighting captain, as that far
Speaker 2: Buckley told it in his ironic story happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the court has no more questions.
Speaker 4: Step down, please, no, thank you, sir, I mean your honor.
Speaker 3: Well, Captain Weatherfield, you've just had the complaining witness. Have
Speaker 3: you anything to say in your own defense?
Speaker 4: Here hit the man about a bit, No doubt that,
Speaker 4: Joanna like, with half chance, they'd have founded his blasted
Speaker 4: hit off, quiet riot, We have more than the court.
Speaker 4: Then you admit the charges, Captain Weatherfield. Then I hit him, Yeah,
Speaker 4: but had stinuit in circumstances, Janna see, and what were they?
Speaker 4: He laughed at my ship at the Wakeling, your honor,
Speaker 4: this fineer freighter has ever steamed out of here on
Speaker 4: the Liverpool Run. Don't quite stood there on the wharf,
Speaker 4: squint eyed son of a landloved lawyer. He said, my
Speaker 4: ship looked like an old woman with her dress on backwards,
Speaker 4: her hair not combed. That's when I flighten him out. Yes,
Speaker 4: and I still say that's what she looks like.
Speaker 5: God, why you confounded, Pip squeak. I'll break your heart.
Speaker 5: Send him down. Captain weather will not.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Come huy. The card that happen Weatherfield can't
Speaker 4: turn Weatherfield.
Speaker 3: This court finds you guilty of assault and battery is
Speaker 3: charged and sentences you to seven days.
Speaker 4: In the now Bristol City jail. All right, Bill, knock
Speaker 4: him up.
Speaker 6: And that's the way it started, with the captain getting
Speaker 6: seven days in the new Bristol jail. But it went
Speaker 6: a whole lot further before it was over. It was
Speaker 6: like a bolt of chain lightning that may take a
Speaker 6: dozen strange turns of more before it finally strikes home.
Speaker 6: And actually, of course the Wakeland was a funny looking
Speaker 6: old scowl. She'd had thirty years in the North Atlantic,
Speaker 6: with never a part being replaced, so long as there
Speaker 6: was some way of patching it up. Yeah, she was
Speaker 6: a regular joke of a ship, as to everybody except
Speaker 6: Captain Weatherfield. Those of us who were officers to board
Speaker 6: her had learned a long time before not to hint
Speaker 6: anything like that to him. Now she was the Queen
Speaker 6: Mary and the Normandy and his first born child all
Speaker 6: rolled up into one. So you can bet your life
Speaker 6: we all kept sober faces when the captain finally came
Speaker 6: aboard at the end of the week.
Speaker 4: Mister Conley, Yes, sir, well everything in order, will we
Speaker 4: be able to sail in an hour?
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, I've been keeping her ready for the last
Speaker 6: four days just in case.
Speaker 4: I'm fully aware that we're four days past schedule, and
Speaker 4: the reason for it will not be discussed on board.
Speaker 4: Is that clear? Yes, captain been badly treated in this town,
Speaker 4: mister Conley, thrown behind bars like some feline docret. I
Speaker 4: don't feel good about it. If it takes me the
Speaker 4: rest of my life, I'm going to even up the score.
Speaker 4: Do you understand that?
Speaker 6: I think so?
Speaker 4: You think so, sir? Yes, sir, all right, then button
Speaker 4: up your color and go get up ahead of steam.
Speaker 6: So three days later, we were plowing through a heavy
Speaker 6: C five hundred and eighty miles out on the Atlantic.
Speaker 6: The spray was freezing the rigging. We were flirting with
Speaker 6: the fringe of a northeast hurricane.
Speaker 4: Blast this double blasted confounded wind. It's Connley. Well how's
Speaker 4: she looking, mister Connley?
Speaker 6: Oh, not so bad. We're taking the season our quarter,
Speaker 6: and so far we're making only about four inches of
Speaker 6: water an hour.
Speaker 4: Four inches of water an hour, sir, yes, sir, good.
Speaker 4: Then we'll take a chance on it.
Speaker 6: We'll take a chance on what, sir.
Speaker 4: And distress message just picking up the wireless sheck. Yeah,
Speaker 4: take a look.
Speaker 6: The freighter Johannes out of New Bristol, main shaft, broken auxiliaries,
Speaker 6: out of commission ship and water fires latitude forty six
Speaker 6: thirty longit two let me see, Yeah, about ninety mile
Speaker 6: from a snob in the west.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, miss Conley. Layout the course. What we
Speaker 4: should sight her sometime around dawn if we hold a
Speaker 4: full speed all night.
Speaker 6: Full speed, get into what hurricane wait clenan fall apart
Speaker 6: in two hours.
Speaker 4: I doubt it. She's a good ship. Layout the cost.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that Johannes is right in the main ship
Speaker 6: in lane. Somebody else has bound to pick her up
Speaker 6: before morning. Anyway, mister Connolly, we can hope not. What
Speaker 6: do you mean hope not?
Speaker 4: Evidently you didn't notice her, registrate, mister Connolly, she's out
Speaker 4: of New Bristol.
Speaker 7: Oh what of it?
Speaker 4: That, as you may recall, is the town that threw
Speaker 4: me into jail, got all the papers like as not.
Speaker 4: My daughters up in Maine have probably read about it.
Speaker 4: For now, I'll not have them thinking their father's a
Speaker 4: man who does nothing but go round punching people in
Speaker 4: the noggin.
Speaker 6: All right, but what's it got to do with this?
Speaker 4: I'm going to be alongside the Johannes before anybody else is,
Speaker 4: mister Connolly. I'm going to rescue every man about her.
Speaker 4: Then I'm going to take him back to New Bristol
Speaker 4: and get a public apology out of that. Now, see
Speaker 4: the death gets in the papers too.
Speaker 6: I've never heard of anything so crazy.
Speaker 4: You've never heard of, mister Conley. Lay out that costs
Speaker 4: now before I get mad decide to punch somebody's dusted
Speaker 4: head off.
Speaker 6: Well, the little cock of the walk made good the
Speaker 6: first part of his plan, all right, in spite of
Speaker 6: a broken steam injector that had to be patched up
Speaker 6: with rigging wire. By shortly after dawn, he had us
Speaker 6: hove to half cable length off from the Johannes. She
Speaker 6: was down by the stern and distant, badly but still afloat.
Speaker 6: The wind was howling like a banshee, and the flying
Speaker 6: spume was freezing all over our decks. There was no
Speaker 6: doubt that what the next part of our job is
Speaker 6: going to be a lot tougher than the first time.
Speaker 6: He counley the boat two together, Yes, sir, there'll be
Speaker 6: five seamen and the third mate, I'll take charge myself.
Speaker 4: Lay the third made of bard, I'll take charge percent
Speaker 4: It's my show. I'm going to run it.
Speaker 6: All right, Champion, whatever you're saying, Well, what's holding this up?
Speaker 4: Let's get this boat over his side. Not the captain
Speaker 4: Carvin is trying to break a.
Speaker 5: Loose Well, he's not cracking walnuts at the tea paty
Speaker 5: hair chips. Give me that mellet, mister Rowitts, Yes, sir,
Speaker 5: you'll stay on one.
Speaker 4: But oil sleep.
Speaker 8: Running waves on that pretty high, pretty high I haven't
Speaker 8: seen him anyhow well, I can't help it.
Speaker 4: Mister Cunnley, I've got.
Speaker 7: All ready well right there away.
Speaker 6: Or the seven of us who went overside in the
Speaker 6: long boat. That command was the beginning of a nightmare.
Speaker 6: If things had been bad up on the Wakeland's deck,
Speaker 6: there were a hundred times worse down there in the
Speaker 6: very midst of that smash, in that tumbling mail stream
Speaker 6: of water and wind, a continuous driving spray was torn
Speaker 6: from the wave crests and froze solid on the gunwales
Speaker 6: and the boat seats and on our faces. One man
Speaker 6: baled constantly, while the others pulled away on the oars
Speaker 6: with breeding hands. And even then we were never far
Speaker 6: from foundering. Captain Weatherfield sat in the stern and shouted orders.
Speaker 6: None of us could hear, but we could see his face,
Speaker 6: and that was enough to keep us at it. With
Speaker 6: a halo of sheet glass round his souester and his
Speaker 6: gray beard turned to a frozen mass of jumbled icicles.
Speaker 6: He looked like Neptune come to life, or maybe even
Speaker 6: more like like the devil himself. It took us over
Speaker 6: two hours before we finally hauled in against the rusty
Speaker 6: side of the battle. Old Johannes h.
Speaker 5: H the deck Hi, here's what.
Speaker 4: You'll have to jump for.
Speaker 7: It.
Speaker 4: Can't use the letter she he's too heavy, understand.
Speaker 7: All ready here.
Speaker 4: Wait till we come up.
Speaker 5: But as swell we hold as steady as we can,
Speaker 5: and whine, no, not yet, lord.
Speaker 4: He fell on the gun lastic fool told him to eat.
Speaker 6: He smashed in his chest. Why it's the captain of
Speaker 6: the ship that.
Speaker 4: He had no business jump in fast anyhow?
Speaker 5: Hol him aboard, mister candy, get him right away, all right, ready.
Speaker 9: On deck, my eyes, all right there, steady.
Speaker 5: Now, God, I'm gonna stole that man af there on deck.
Speaker 4: Wait well wait, wait.
Speaker 5: Now, conny a plastic feet, fire hand you are there,
Speaker 5: jump down wait you ben helped him off. There it
Speaker 5: comes another catch him, catch him good back horse shoes
Speaker 5: sad by four and a half night there tack comes
Speaker 5: to another one, honors toady, keep one or against the
Speaker 5: side there anybody else up there with his gutro.
Speaker 4: No, sir, others have lost overboard last night. All right,
Speaker 4: then back off yours. You have plan of get ahold
Speaker 4: of that order. He can't do it very well with
Speaker 4: with only one arm, captain, cutting you mean one arm?
Speaker 6: He broke his arm a couple of minutes ago when
Speaker 6: we bumped the side and give.
Speaker 4: Him a bucket. Least he can bail. All right, let's go.
Speaker 6: It was six hours before we finally got back aboard
Speaker 6: the Wakeland, but we did get back, and I doubt
Speaker 6: if any of them but Captain Weatherfield could have done it.
Speaker 6: True enough, he fainted across the engine room hatch once
Speaker 6: we were on board. But I don't forget. He was
Speaker 6: seventy two years old. He'd taken a crew of six
Speaker 6: out in an open boat in the high seas in
Speaker 6: the middle of a hurricane, rescued six more men off
Speaker 6: a sinking ship, and brought the whole twelve back alive.
Speaker 6: Well one of them, of course, was only barely alive,
Speaker 6: and that was Captain Miller of the Johannes. He was
Speaker 6: still unconscious. I had him put in a bunk and
Speaker 6: hoped for the best, and then I turned in to
Speaker 6: grab a few hours sleep. I guess it was some
Speaker 6: time after midnight when the third mate called me. I
Speaker 6: got dressed, went down, woke up the captain.
Speaker 4: Confounded mister Conley, Ugh didn't get the man. He close
Speaker 4: his eyes, bought this ship that somebody roused him out
Speaker 4: of his bunk.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, captain, thought you ought to know. Miller's conscious
Speaker 6: now and wants to see you. He thinks he is he's.
Speaker 4: Dying, dying, is it? I'll see about that. Where's my pants? Here?
Speaker 6: You are, sir, I thank you?
Speaker 4: Yah.
Speaker 6: It might be a good thing if Miller did die,
Speaker 6: According to his first mate, Larson Well, Larson says they
Speaker 6: had plenty of warning this storm, but Miller drove straight
Speaker 6: on into it. He was racing for port.
Speaker 4: Or racing for port. Yeah, bad business.
Speaker 6: There'll be an inquiry on it. He'll lose his ticket
Speaker 6: when they find out.
Speaker 4: It's also bad business, mister Connley. When first mates talk
Speaker 4: out of turn, come on, where is he?
Speaker 6: I put him in the cabin off the wardroom and
Speaker 6: the third mates in there with him.
Speaker 4: Now, how is the ship heading New South?
Speaker 6: We're running before the wind. Can't do anything else.
Speaker 4: I told you, mister Connley. It costs for New Bristol pie.
Speaker 6: No, but we can't do it. The main boilers out
Speaker 6: and we're on the auxiliaries. May take two days to
Speaker 6: fix it.
Speaker 4: Con found in the luck risk my life to rescue
Speaker 4: a man tries to die on me. Now that bone
Speaker 4: hit engineers let the main boiler break down.
Speaker 6: That's not his fault. It should have been replaced five
Speaker 6: years ago.
Speaker 4: Five years ago. What's wister Connley?
Speaker 6: Five years ago?
Speaker 4: Sir? Good here we are? Oh mad to got to here?
Speaker 5: Sir?
Speaker 4: I was getting worried. It's all right, mister Roberts. Yes,
Speaker 4: stand back a bit to hold the night up. Yes there,
Speaker 4: that's fine, evening, Captain Miller, even captain, ye're in seven
Speaker 4: pain night ticket. Yeah, there's a something sharp sticking at
Speaker 4: my chest getting worse. H something sharp eye, No doubt
Speaker 4: they broken in the rib poking into your lungs. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I guess. Hey, he feels like there's a rib gun here.
Speaker 10: Oh eh, well, I want to make this statement.
Speaker 4: The log I do figure you're getting ready to die?
Speaker 4: Is that it? Yeah? Not much chance? Shouldn't I shouldn't
Speaker 4: have jump first, No, he shouldn't have understand you was
Speaker 4: racing for pot, drove straight into the star. Yeah ahead.
Speaker 10: It's my wife, her first baby, wanted to be with her.
Speaker 6: What's he saying to her?
Speaker 4: His wife's thinking of having a baby. Rabbish statement.
Speaker 10: Responsibility.
Speaker 4: We'll discuss that leader keptain. That lung gets a hole
Speaker 4: punched in it. You're done for.
Speaker 6: He's practically done for now, you know.
Speaker 4: Mister Conley saw a doctor open up a man once,
Speaker 4: take a broken rib bottle. I can remember fairly well
Speaker 4: how he went about it, and there ought to be
Speaker 4: some CHLOROFYB on board.
Speaker 6: Captain Weathers.
Speaker 4: You shut up, mister Connley. Captain Miller, it's one chance, Nmidian,
Speaker 4: but you've got no chance. Now, how about it?
Speaker 10: Eh, anything doesn't matter, be an inquiry report. Better to
Speaker 10: die where.
Speaker 4: We'll worry about that later. All right, then go find
Speaker 4: that chlorophy, mister Roberts, yes, sir, and bring me a
Speaker 4: bar of soap. Yes, And get a couple of their
Speaker 4: little dives whatever they call them, out of the medicine locker. Yes,
Speaker 4: mister Connley, go wake up that first fate of his.
Speaker 4: Get him in here. We'll need a witness to Captain
Speaker 4: Miller's consent, and mister Connley find chips and borrow's chest
Speaker 4: of tools. Never can tell what you'll find whence you
Speaker 4: start to open a man up.
Speaker 6: In ten minutes, we have everything ready. Larson signed a
Speaker 6: statement swearing that Captain Miller had agreed to him and
Speaker 6: the third mate with his face white as a sheet.
Speaker 6: Stood at the head of the bunk, ripping chloroform under
Speaker 6: a towel and holding it over Miller's nose and mouth.
Speaker 6: I held a light in one hand and kept the
Speaker 6: other on the patient's pulse while Captain Weatherfield rolled up
Speaker 6: his sleeves and started in on a major operation that
Speaker 6: he thought he'd seen some doctor perform.
Speaker 4: Once everything snugging brober Has he seemed to be getting along,
Speaker 4: mister Connolly, I don't know.
Speaker 6: He's still breathing.
Speaker 4: No, he's breathing, man his chest, I am operating on.
Speaker 4: How's his pulse?
Speaker 7: Pretty weak?
Speaker 6: No worse than it was?
Speaker 4: Hm. Keep that chloroform dripping, mister Roberts, Yes, sir, where
Speaker 4: there's no time like the prison. Oh all that like steady,
Speaker 4: mister Conley, sir, steady yourself. Now let me see I
Speaker 4: think that doctor did it like like this. M m
Speaker 4: I've used up half the chlorophorm captain. He'd been dripping Roberts. Mm. Well,
Speaker 4: well now don't remember anything like that being in there.
Speaker 4: See now, pulses getting pretty weak, mister Connley. Don't bother me,
Speaker 4: got more important things here to think about. Mm hm,
Speaker 4: that's it. Here's the end. Of the rabar right now,
Speaker 4: if I can, uh, just that's all right, let it go.
Speaker 4: Don't need the knife anymore, con Founded, Conley, give me
Speaker 4: a little more room to work in Kevin small enough stairs.
Speaker 6: Captain, his pulse is stopped.
Speaker 4: No it hasn't, mister Connley. Now, now where the devil?
Speaker 4: Doesn't that rid come loose?
Speaker 6: When I HiT's no use, Captain, he's dead. His heart
Speaker 6: stopped beating.
Speaker 4: Mister Connley, don't stand there. Try to tell me his
Speaker 4: heart stopped when I can see it beating right now,
Speaker 4: mister Larson Er, yes, sir, Would you look at that
Speaker 4: tool chest behind you? See if you can find me
Speaker 4: a pair of pliers.
Speaker 6: I doubt if there's ever been another operation like it
Speaker 6: before or since. By all rights, Captain Miller should have
Speaker 6: died ten times over right there on the bunk.
Speaker 7: Only he didn't.
Speaker 6: He was unconscious for forty eight hours. But on the
Speaker 6: fifth day he was sitting up on a deck chair
Speaker 6: and cuss him because somebody had slung his broken rib
Speaker 6: overboard instead of saving it so he could whittle out
Speaker 6: a letter opener. We were driven six hundred miles to
Speaker 6: the south before the storm blew itself out and we
Speaker 6: got the main boiler back into operation and could lay
Speaker 6: a course for New Bristol and three days away from port.
Speaker 6: Captain Weatherfield called all of us officers of the Wakeland
Speaker 6: together in the chart room, along with first mate Larson
Speaker 6: of the Johannes.
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, there may be some questions in your minds in
Speaker 4: regard to what this meeting is all about. No doubt
Speaker 4: you're wondering, even if you aren't asking. Am I right? Well, yes, sir,
Speaker 4: we have been trying to guess. Then I'll tell you, gentlemen.
Speaker 4: I called this meeting to put a stop to certain
Speaker 4: idle rumors which I hear have been floated around.
Speaker 6: Just what kind of rumors, Captain Weatherfield.
Speaker 4: Limb which says that Captain Miller of Lateship Johannes deliberately
Speaker 4: drove hidden into a storm while racing to make port.
Speaker 7: Eh, there's no luman about that. It's what he was
Speaker 7: doing as his first mate.
Speaker 4: I should know, and I say he wasn't, mister Lasson
Speaker 4: the way, I think it got caught by the storm
Speaker 4: without any wanting. He gave orders for full speed to
Speaker 4: try to beat out of it. A couple of hours later,
Speaker 4: mainshaft broke left him helpless without stirageway. Could happen to anybody?
Speaker 7: Maybe only it didn't. I was there, Captain Weatherfield. I
Speaker 7: know what happened, and there's five of my crew left
Speaker 7: to back me up.
Speaker 4: They'll pack up anything you say, mister Larson.
Speaker 7: You know that, and there's nothing to talk about when
Speaker 7: the Board of Inquiry gets through with Miller. He won't
Speaker 7: command another ship as long as he lives.
Speaker 4: So there's not going to be any board of inquiry.
Speaker 7: Ah, maybe that's not up to you.
Speaker 4: Which is what we're here to decide.
Speaker 6: I don't get it. Captain Miller's a rat. He was
Speaker 6: the first one to jump when we come alongside. Anything
Speaker 6: that happens to him serves him right now, Why should
Speaker 6: you stick up for him?
Speaker 4: My personal opinion of the man has nothing to do
Speaker 4: with this, Miss Cudley. I say there'll be no bout
Speaker 4: of inquiry because it suits my purposes, said the feat.
Speaker 7: And just what are your purposes? Captain?
Speaker 4: I drove my ship ninety miles off of course in
Speaker 4: a hurricane, risked my life in an open boat just
Speaker 4: for one reason, mister Larson, because I knew you were
Speaker 4: registered out of New Bristol.
Speaker 6: Ah, so that's.
Speaker 4: It, I mister Connley, that's it. I updated on. A
Speaker 4: man saved his life just so he could stand up
Speaker 4: alongside of me. Have our pictures taken for the newspapers?
Speaker 7: I get it. So you don't want some messy board
Speaker 7: of inquiry, don one scandal in the story of your
Speaker 7: noble rescue on the high Sea? Eh? You want to
Speaker 7: be a blessed.
Speaker 4: Hero, mister Larson. Being a hero has got nothing to
Speaker 4: do with it. But I am planning to get a
Speaker 4: public apology out of the town of New Bristol, and
Speaker 4: you or nobody else is going to do anything to
Speaker 4: stop me.
Speaker 7: Oh well, it's too bad you haven't got the whole
Speaker 7: say about it, captain.
Speaker 4: And it's too bad you're bullheaded, sit on and swearing
Speaker 4: away your captain's ticket. That you forced me to teach you.
Speaker 7: A esson And just how are you aiming to do
Speaker 7: that by.
Speaker 4: Knucking a little sense into your thick knugin something like this? Oh?
Speaker 7: So what's up?
Speaker 6: Fight?
Speaker 7: All right? Come on, captain, teach.
Speaker 11: Me a lesson, and the one you learned in China.
Speaker 11: I teach you all right? Have you got yeah, mister Larson? Well,
Speaker 11: catch up, all right, he's not a par.
Speaker 8: Of dividers, so you t like to step in whatever? Well, lasten, okay,
Speaker 8: what about his father?
Speaker 7: I'm through.
Speaker 4: They're going to be a body of inquiry.
Speaker 7: Now I'll back up anything you say, good?
Speaker 4: What about the rest of you? Anything I say?
Speaker 6: Go yes?
Speaker 4: All right, then get back on.
Speaker 6: Watch.
Speaker 4: What do you think this is a peaceful habit of
Speaker 4: a sunday?
Speaker 6: It was a clear sunshiny when we esteemed in a
Speaker 6: New Bristol harbor and robbed anchor at the mouth of
Speaker 6: the river. Captain Weatherfield sent Miller on ashore at quarantine,
Speaker 6: he insisting that his reason was not just to make
Speaker 6: sure of having a reception ready. Nonetheless, he spent an
Speaker 6: hour and a half shaving, trimming his hair, and dressing
Speaker 6: up in his best shore going clothes. But he had
Speaker 6: a right to strut a little at that. He'd moved
Speaker 6: through a whole series of tough jobs, every one against
Speaker 6: almost impossible odds, and he'd come out on top, and
Speaker 6: all because he wanted his daughters up in Maine to
Speaker 6: though he could do something once in a wild asides
Speaker 6: punch people in the nuggin. It was mid afternoon by
Speaker 6: the time we finally rowed ashore in the long boat,
Speaker 6: and a good sized crowd had assembled on the walk.
Speaker 6: And when we got him close, we could see Captain
Speaker 6: Miller waiting by the landing, along with the regular reception committee,
Speaker 6: all dressed up in striped pants and top hats like
Speaker 6: a bunch of foreign diplomats. And the headman of the
Speaker 6: whole layout was the same judge you'd given the captain
Speaker 6: seven days in jail.
Speaker 4: Easy now, mister.
Speaker 6: Conley, I hold this study, sir, thank him here. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I'll cover you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all welcome coming weather here on behalf of the
Speaker 3: town of now Bristol.
Speaker 4: Well that's mighty nice.
Speaker 7: Have you judged a.
Speaker 4: Dog, Captain? We're the one on the whole town if
Speaker 4: we want you to know it, well, thank you, judge.
Speaker 3: Captain Miller here has given us a complete story rescue
Speaker 3: at sea, the daring operation that saved his nie.
Speaker 4: Here. Now you're feeling, Captain Miller.
Speaker 9: I'm a little tired right now, Captain, been pretty busy
Speaker 9: arranging things, you know.
Speaker 6: Of course here on this.
Speaker 4: Town, Captain Weatherfill, there's nothing too good for you. We're
Speaker 4: proud of you. I was wondering if you'd recall a
Speaker 4: little incident where we met before, Judge, not so long ago.
Speaker 4: A terrible mistake.
Speaker 3: I'll never forgive myself if you know your public apology,
Speaker 3: Captain Weatherfield.
Speaker 4: Don't believe you know just what to say, Judge. But
Speaker 4: then at all tu.
Speaker 3: Say, Captain Wetherfield, As I said before, we're the ones
Speaker 3: who are honored the whole town of New Bristol and
Speaker 3: all of New England too.
Speaker 4: By Joe, what's those reporters get their stories on the wire,
Speaker 4: the report is, hey, well now that's going too much trouble, Judge. Yah, Captain,
Speaker 4: not at all. They will be wanting an interview with you.
Speaker 4: You know we've had quite a time keeping them off
Speaker 4: this long. You're a hero man. Do you realize that
Speaker 4: I only did my duty?
Speaker 7: Judge?
Speaker 3: The New Bristol needs more men who only do their duty,
Speaker 3: Captain weather View.
Speaker 4: Nicely nice of you to say.
Speaker 3: So when I recall the way you were treated here
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago, Captain, Well, all I can do
Speaker 3: is to ask your forgiveness publicly.
Speaker 4: Has suspect that might be range, Judge, I'm not a
Speaker 4: man there, Brudge. A That's which your actions have proven, sir.
Speaker 3: Them there fellas with the cameras the reporters are there. Oh, yes, yes, indeed, Captain, well,
Speaker 3: of course the photographer. Really they're taking them pictures to
Speaker 3: print in the newspapers.
Speaker 4: Are they. That's right, Captain, they'll be seen by people
Speaker 4: all over the country. I suppose we might walk over
Speaker 4: that way, certainly, Captain, whether vie'll certainly? Anything you like?
Speaker 4: Want to join? Is Captain Miller? Thanks, gentlemen.
Speaker 9: You know, I was just thinking, if they print a
