Speaker 1: Have you shaken that spring cold? Yet wondering if you
Speaker 1: will get a new Easter bonnet this year?
Speaker 2: I want to get away from it all. We offer
Speaker 2: you escape.
Speaker 1: You will aboard a Chinese junk on the ground off
Speaker 1: the coast of Borneo, and paddling towards you are the
Speaker 1: canoes of the deadly dyak headhunters. Your powder is wet,
Speaker 1: your throat is dry, because for you there is no escape.
Speaker 1: Escape produced and directed by William M. Robson, and designed
Speaker 1: to free you from the four walls of today for
Speaker 1: a half hour of high adventures. The night we escaped
Speaker 1: to the Orient of one hundred and fifty years ago,
Speaker 1: to the Manila of seventeen ninety in Richard Matthews Hallett's
Speaker 1: story of a Wooden Ship and an iron Man, Misfortune's Isle.
Speaker 1: The water which was lying at anchor so close up
Speaker 1: against the jetty, I could have leaned over and spit
Speaker 1: on the wheels of the elegant Spanish carriages clattering along
Speaker 1: the promenade.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what I felt like doing. I'd been
Speaker 3: away from Salem for three years now, three years.
Speaker 1: Of sailing a trader brig through the China seas and
Speaker 1: south into the Spice Island, all for what the whole
Speaker 1: thing had grown stale. Suddenly I was plainly and simply bored.
Speaker 1: Young Poe stood beside me there at the taffrail and
Speaker 1: tried to console me with the loss the feet he
Speaker 1: drank at his sailing junk alongside earlier in the day,
Speaker 1: and come aboard to renew a friendship that started two
Speaker 1: years before a tin scene when I hauled him out
Speaker 1: from under an executioner's x. He was under it because
Speaker 1: he just sold me six fine fat pigs without remembering
Speaker 1: they happened to be the sacred property of the Chin
Speaker 1: Scene temple. Oh Yang Poh was a real philosopher.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: Anyway, my friend, I reserve my sympathies for the poor.
Speaker 4: You have gained much wealth.
Speaker 1: In trade ay and a few measley gold feeds. But
Speaker 1: the trouble is out here. A man can't go it
Speaker 1: on his own. He needs backing.
Speaker 4: What more backing could a rash man desire? And those
Speaker 4: eight brass cannot at the rail either.
Speaker 1: Fair guns all right, But at the flag I'm speaking of,
Speaker 1: do these unworthy eyes not see a pin there at
Speaker 1: the masthead? The bunning of Salem swings no weight out
Speaker 1: here in the south. It's the Dutch who call the urns.
Speaker 1: On the coast the British. And here in manilis the
Speaker 1: Spanish ah man had young Paul. There she comes now,
Speaker 1: and the second carriage there has the fourth time since
Speaker 1: Ion she's come fair, four.
Speaker 4: Fine horses and two footmen. She rides in star what she'll.
Speaker 3: Look up at the ship she has every time today they.
Speaker 4: See ah that one, the little cajured bird.
Speaker 3: You'll know her.
Speaker 4: I know of her. She is wife of Don.
Speaker 1: Naciso Crispo, the Spanish nobleman who is Captain on General
Speaker 1: of the islands of Zamboanga. He is in residence here
Speaker 1: in Manila. She looks very sad er why she called
Speaker 1: the little cage's bird. One glimpse of Don narcisso would
Speaker 1: answer your question better than files on words.
Speaker 3: She's very beautiful too, I'll swear.
Speaker 1: She looked back and smiled just then Captain Arad Once
Speaker 1: in pity, I set free a parakeet which I had
Speaker 1: found caught in Annette. I still bear a scar from
Speaker 1: its beak.
Speaker 3: Some things may be worth taking chances.
Speaker 1: For me, I find it so much simpler to go
Speaker 1: to sleep and dream of mad drums on the moon. Ah,
Speaker 1: but the moon's too far away.
Speaker 2: Why, oh, bear Michael on the quarterdeck.
Speaker 1: Then the honorable redheaded one is still your first mate?
Speaker 2: Hi, there he is. What's the matter, Michael?
Speaker 1: Indeed, haven't you heard all the excitement and till I've
Speaker 1: been looking.
Speaker 4: Young cool? Haven't they hung you yet?
Speaker 1: This on what they want is touched by your concern, mister.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you mean by excitement?
Speaker 1: I've been on board all day last night with all
Speaker 1: their soldiers on guard, and the stone ramparts and all
Speaker 1: abandon pirates slipped the shore down coast and.
Speaker 4: Got through into the city.
Speaker 1: Pirate hie tin falls on busholds of a misfortune. They
Speaker 1: may possibly think it was me, They have no clue
Speaker 1: as to who it was. Got away scott free they did,
Speaker 1: and they almost abducted the Captain General of zambo one
Speaker 1: Go and set what hi hi an important grandee by
Speaker 1: the name of Don Cisco or something or other. His
Speaker 1: guard finally heard them. A pity fortune, not with you,
Speaker 1: captain rat. But here's the part of the stop here.
Speaker 1: There is no one in Manila that knows who they were,
Speaker 1: except yours truly, Michael okine, go have a look at that.
Speaker 2: What to Manchester cutlers.
Speaker 3: And there's a mark on the handle.
Speaker 2: It's one we traded.
Speaker 1: The serif I had the bandit King of North Barnio
Speaker 1: and it was me found this morning on the.
Speaker 2: Beach where the pirate board came shore.
Speaker 1: You found hell no, no, no, not quite a melee
Speaker 1: by the name of Jiamboo brought it to shampoo ten
Speaker 1: Paz champans filled with boiled fish.
Speaker 2: You know the fillam.
Speaker 4: I have used him as interpreter.
Speaker 1: He speak Dayak, but in some form our incarnation he
Speaker 1: undoubtedly was elm. You know, I think this may be
Speaker 1: exactly what I need, need for what I read to make.
Speaker 2: Fortunes for the three of us.
Speaker 1: I suddenly remember and unexpected point, young Paul supply and
Speaker 1: that won't work without you. I'm not talking of bair profits.
Speaker 1: This means a fortune.
Speaker 4: I am amazed.
Speaker 1: There is much talk of money and yet very little
Speaker 1: talk of Spanish.
Speaker 3: Lady.
Speaker 1: I've heard Room is unsure about these Spanish lashes.
Speaker 4: For one thing, they wear no stockings.
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: And I's a man to know it, Michael. He can't
Speaker 3: count too much.
Speaker 4: On his saying, well, it was a Spaniard that told me, all.
Speaker 1: Right, now listen that let me tell you the plan,
Speaker 1: and if we're all agreed, I'll go ashore and talk.
Speaker 3: To this Donna Sisso.
Speaker 1: After I have heard it, I think I shall go
Speaker 1: and sacrifice. Why roll start, too, Queen of Heaven, though
Speaker 1: I dot it will do a great deal of good.
Speaker 1: The only thing I can't understand is why this damn
Speaker 1: boo didn't take the cutlast to Dunna Sisso on the
Speaker 1: first place. It is quite possible he did take his
Speaker 1: there in first place, Captain Harad, it is point worth consideration.
Speaker 1: It took a bit of talking, right enough, but finally
Speaker 1: the others agreed to the plan, and no more than
Speaker 1: two hours later I was talking to the Captain General
Speaker 1: of Zamboango himself.
Speaker 2: He turned out to be a little.
Speaker 1: Monkey of a man, yellow as a faded sunflower, and
Speaker 1: much older than I expected to find you quite satisfied
Speaker 1: regarding your identification of those who perpertate the outrage capital art, but.
Speaker 4: Addictions and fatalities.
Speaker 2: I have also heard the stories of this pirate selief.
Speaker 1: Now I think a broadside of my thirty two pounders
Speaker 1: can furnish him enough fatalities, excellently, It's not that simple.
Speaker 1: This heaf quarters on the Borneo coast is nothing glass
Speaker 1: than a fortress. It's only a bamboo stockade lying at
Speaker 1: the mouth of the river, and with the range of
Speaker 1: the guns on my break. My friend young four has
Speaker 1: been there but hard the gains. The mouth of the
Speaker 1: river is the Plucca Laca mm Misfortune's are, and on
Speaker 1: a limestone caves filled with birds' nests with fifty dollars
Speaker 1: a pound in canton that may will be Captain Arrat,
Speaker 1: But there is also see you past three. You must
Speaker 1: have heard of it, all right, But I can't little
Speaker 1: one here saying excellency, it is not here, say the
Speaker 1: diac headhunters poisoned spills and hours with its juices. I
Speaker 1: have seen man scratched by them die like that. Some
Speaker 1: things are worth taking chances for. I must say that
Speaker 1: I quite agree with you. Captain arad Ma sent my wife.
Speaker 2: Don you a fina the Cristmas Captain arat I honor, I.
Speaker 3: Have read it.
Speaker 5: Or you will must agree to this expedition. You know
Speaker 5: the King's offer any man who reached these islands of
Speaker 5: pirates to be baby conde with lands and pilates can have.
Speaker 1: Both lands and titles. My dear, what is it you
Speaker 1: expect from this captain?
Speaker 2: Arat? A fortune?
Speaker 3: Excellency? The birds neers themselves should be worth.
Speaker 1: A half million Yankee dollars, and there's golden mantamony in
Speaker 1: the river and trade with a diax Chris nay.
Speaker 3: What is the plan of yours?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: Fifty of Seriff's men are Chinese who won't serve the
Speaker 1: young Poe.
Speaker 2: They'll come in with us.
Speaker 3: If you can get word to them, that'll make things easier.
Speaker 4: And how do you expect to get work too?
Speaker 1: Then the yank Poe I'll sail in ahead of his
Speaker 1: junk and try to contact them. My mate will bring
Speaker 1: up the water which twenty four hours later, and then
Speaker 1: we'll attack. And exactly why have you come to me?
Speaker 2: Well? Right, do it without official support?
Speaker 1: I'd happy judge a pirate myself, wouldn't I?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It would be a great thing if
Speaker 2: it could be done.
Speaker 1: See why not think of it tonight and this side
Speaker 1: in the morning that maybe you will suggss.
Speaker 5: You may allow me to show you up capital.
Speaker 3: By your leave, excellency tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Then good day, come this way, please, he will agree.
Speaker 4: You may detain done it good?
Speaker 3: I hope also that his Excellency will come nas personally.
Speaker 1: Will you can be certain of it?
Speaker 3: You seem quite sure.
Speaker 5: That who do you think it was? Who had the
Speaker 5: cordless thing to you?
Speaker 1: You? Here is the door capital.
Speaker 5: I will say, are your cito now? In our language
Speaker 5: it means goodbye.
Speaker 3: For a little wife for a little while, And well
Speaker 3: in that case, Adiocito Delfino was right.
Speaker 1: The next morning he agreed to us, and two days
Speaker 1: later we sailed out of Manila Harbor. Don't not Cico
Speaker 1: accompanied me on Young Poe's jenkins. Michael o'caine followed at
Speaker 1: the helm.
Speaker 2: Of the water, which our luck has.
Speaker 1: Saided us as we rounded the corrigator and sailed square
Speaker 1: into the tail.
Speaker 3: End of a typhoon wind.
Speaker 1: But a heavy sea was running, and it took us
Speaker 1: on the pork bow for all that night and the
Speaker 1: next day we lost sight of the water wedge, and
Speaker 1: the leaky old.
Speaker 2: Jump pitched and rolled like a dory.
Speaker 1: The young Pole stayed mostly below in his bunk and
Speaker 1: drained peacefully of the maidens on the moon, while I
Speaker 1: stayed on deck and skip.
Speaker 3: At her through it. It was late the second night
Speaker 3: before I had a chance to go down to my cabin.
Speaker 2: It's what on the name of the devil you do
Speaker 2: on a board set?
Speaker 1: Mostly it is a very unsteady ship you have, Capitan,
Speaker 1: There should be a lot more unsteady when a hundred
Speaker 1: dayak head understart trying to board her.
Speaker 2: How did you arrive here?
Speaker 5: Any saca feathers? It's really old. That saved me during
Speaker 5: the story.
Speaker 3: You know, oh, confound it.
Speaker 1: Don't you realize your husband is on board sleeping in
Speaker 1: the deck cabins.
Speaker 2: Suppose he should come down here for something?
Speaker 1: He did once?
Speaker 2: I show it in the wardrobe, all the full tricks.
Speaker 5: But you did say.
Speaker 4: For a little while.
Speaker 2: Yes, but it wasn't an invitation.
Speaker 5: Who could tell anyway? I shall feel quite valuable to you.
Speaker 5: See that Tisa will become frightened at the last moment.
Speaker 5: You're always that.
Speaker 2: Now, what will you do?
Speaker 5: Whatever is required at the time. I am not afraid
Speaker 5: of finding my captain.
Speaker 4: Have you seen it before?
Speaker 1: Found if we had a fortune in our reach and
Speaker 1: now you come along and ruin it, I won't do
Speaker 1: that again.
Speaker 2: You are I meant to be? Why did you marry.
Speaker 5: I had no choice. My father was ambitious. Artiso was influential.
Speaker 2: And did your father realize his ambition?
Speaker 5: He became a colonel and for still the san diego
Speaker 5: to Chili.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, I'm sorry, And now if you'll remove yourself
Speaker 1: from my bunk, I need some sleep.
Speaker 5: If you are going to move in here, then what
Speaker 5: am I going to do?
Speaker 2: Oh you'll think of something.
Speaker 3: You made all your own plans so far.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you.
Speaker 5: But if my husband sees me, then he I think
Speaker 5: you've brought me on brod well.
Speaker 2: In that case I shall be forced to kill him
Speaker 2: in the door.
Speaker 3: Good night you, you're going to sleep.
Speaker 2: I hope to.
Speaker 1: Try the shrine of the Queen of Heaven. It's the
Speaker 1: last cabin in this term. No one goes there but
Speaker 1: young po and you'll have to be told about you anyway.
Speaker 2: Good night.
Speaker 5: Eaven. When you are loose to me, you're not it's
Speaker 5: too very sweet.
Speaker 3: When much well, woman, I no woman, I bought.
Speaker 1: It was too late to turn back now, So two
Speaker 1: days later we dropped anchor at the mouth of Seref's
Speaker 1: River off the port rail a quarter.
Speaker 2: Mile away lay the pirate stock cap was.
Speaker 1: Backed up by the dark green mats of jungle. And
Speaker 1: on the opposite side of the junk, across one hundred
Speaker 1: yards of sore of water, was the beach of Misfortune's aisles,
Speaker 1: sloping back to break sharply on the foot of the
Speaker 1: limestone cliffs. On the upper shoulders of those cliffs were
Speaker 1: the caves without fortune and edible birds nests. And between
Speaker 1: the cliffs and the water stood the Yupis Tree. A
Speaker 1: hundred legends were told about the Yupis tree, how its
Speaker 1: shadow could kill a man, how the spirit of a
Speaker 1: white goddess was prisoned in the thick, dark foliage of
Speaker 1: its top, and how birds that lighted on its branches
Speaker 1: fell dead.
Speaker 2: To the ground.
Speaker 3: Well, one thing at least was true enough.
Speaker 1: The Dax made a horrible poison from the juice of
Speaker 1: its bark, and they worshiped the tree. Young Paul took
Speaker 1: the renegade interpreter of jamboo with him and went ashore
Speaker 1: to pay his respects to Siri, and at the same
Speaker 1: time was to pass the word to his Chinese friends.
Speaker 1: It was late afternoon when he came back, and I'd
Speaker 1: become nearly as uneasy as Donna. See, so Young Poe
Speaker 1: came aboard alone and motioned me to follow him below,
Speaker 1: saying nothing until we were alone in my cabin. It
Speaker 1: is my humble opinion, Captain Urlad, that Heaven favors us
Speaker 1: with their side that lack our fortune. Boy Saraf most polite,
Speaker 1: I most polite. We enjoy most friendly conversation while we
Speaker 1: both held our knives beneath our ropes.
Speaker 4: Are very polite.
Speaker 3: Well, did you get word to your men?
Speaker 1: Sarah blessed with presents of two hundred dayaks and fifty meles.
Speaker 1: My own present unfortunately down.
Speaker 4: The coast for two days.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a bad piece of luck.
Speaker 4: But I have news how much worse.
Speaker 1: One John Bo had sound of ten thousand devils, has
Speaker 1: deserted us deserted.
Speaker 4: He has joined sal Heath.
Speaker 2: Oh, he'll tell him exactly what we're planning.
Speaker 5: Billy Jumbo would do such a.
Speaker 3: Thing, Delfina, I told you to stay out of this cabin.
Speaker 5: Bumbo worships me. He's my sleep. Why it was you
Speaker 5: help me sleep on board?
Speaker 2: Oh, so that's why he's done.
Speaker 5: He has not deserted. What could he hope to.
Speaker 1: Gain by it? You probably this on what they want
Speaker 1: off our suggestion that we stand out to see until
Speaker 1: water which come tomorrow. A fine idea, except for one thing.
Speaker 1: Your sleepy little sons of heaven left the cable slack.
Speaker 1: We grounded on a mud bar, with no chance of
Speaker 1: moving before the tide tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3: We'll have to stand and fight.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 4: Yes, they are so callous. I forgot to tell you.
Speaker 1: They even neglect had to cover powder during storm.
Speaker 4: The water ruined it.
Speaker 2: Then.
Speaker 3: Will not even have the four cannon.
Speaker 1: Really matter of slight importance. They only ornaments. They would
Speaker 1: blow up if we fired him. You could have you
Speaker 1: picked the more suitable time to tell me, well, we'll
Speaker 1: fight without him. The impetuosity of youth. I think I
Speaker 1: sleep for a while. I'm dream of may duns on
Speaker 1: the moon.
Speaker 3: Young Poe.
Speaker 1: You'll stay on your feet and start your men boiling
Speaker 1: kettles of oil and piling rocks by the ray. It
Speaker 1: would be so much pleasant to die in one sleep,
Speaker 1: if I know, sir, If you'll not attacked until nearly midnight, Telfina,
Speaker 1: can you swim?
Speaker 5: I can do anything.
Speaker 1: Primarily I want to know if you can swim. I can, good,
Speaker 1: young Poe. I'll be back and help you in an hour.
Speaker 2: But I have a job to do.
Speaker 3: First, come along Condsa.
Speaker 1: It was dark when we slipped into the water and
Speaker 1: struck out for the island. If I had tried to
Speaker 1: lower a boat, they might have seen us from the shore.
Speaker 1: I could see no other way to keep her out
Speaker 1: of it. The rest of us had no chance. I
Speaker 1: knew how the Daeecs fought. We could expect no help,
Speaker 1: and on board she would have been the only one
Speaker 1: of us left alive.
Speaker 2: Hi Jumboo would see that that.
Speaker 1: We made the beach safely crossed it, and worked our
Speaker 1: way up the steep path on the face of the cliff.
Speaker 3: Finally we reached the ledge in front of the caves.
Speaker 5: It is too dark here.
Speaker 2: It frightens me.
Speaker 1: Well, there's nothing to harm you that's in the caves, perhaps,
Speaker 1: but nothing else.
Speaker 5: I am to stay here alone.
Speaker 1: Then hie until the water which comes into anchor tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Light this torch then and signal them. They'll come ashore
Speaker 1: and take care of tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Where will you be tomorrow?
Speaker 1: At it? You are going back to die with him,
Speaker 1: aren't you.
Speaker 2: We'll have a fighting chance.
Speaker 3: There's no chance to go stay with me at it.
Speaker 3: You know that's impossible.
Speaker 5: But this meant young poets no better than a party too, sir,
Speaker 5: when you cannot help him by losing your own life,
Speaker 5: or stay with me and.
Speaker 2: What of your husband not go back? I beg you
Speaker 2: please carry it, delfina. You have a deadly hair poison
Speaker 2: in the you pistry itself?
Speaker 5: Will you force me then to stay here?
Speaker 2: And safety?
Speaker 4: And what should die on those decks that be lost?
Speaker 2: Well it makes you very much difference to you, so much.
Speaker 5: That I would not care to be alive tomorrow.
Speaker 2: In when you I hate my life.
Speaker 3: I prayed for earthquakes, pirates, staty, anything, but now I
Speaker 3: pray only that human.
Speaker 2: Lives through this night. The fina, the finite. There's nothing
Speaker 2: can be said. You must, but before you do, kiss
Speaker 2: me enough.
Speaker 4: When it's not just.
Speaker 3: Oh do you ciccio?
Speaker 4: Have you sit.
Speaker 2: For a little while.
Speaker 3: Had I stayed there one moment longer, I should.
Speaker 2: Never have left her.
Speaker 1: Back aboard the junk, I found young Paul rushing preparations
Speaker 1: for the hopeless fight that.
Speaker 2: Stood ahead of us.
Speaker 1: Don Narsisio was shivering on the quarter deck, and I
Speaker 1: saw no reason to tell him his wife had made
Speaker 1: the trip with this. The Chinese crewel a wild stones
Speaker 1: and smoke, parts of the rails ready to throw down
Speaker 1: on the heads of the Dayaks who were aboard us,
Speaker 1: and kettles of oil were being heated over a brick
Speaker 1: cart by the mast. Paper lanterns had been lighted and
Speaker 1: hung about the rigging. But outside the narrow limits of
Speaker 1: the deck we could see nothing, nothing but the black
Speaker 1: wall of the borneo night. The same dark wall shut
Speaker 1: off any side of the Yupis tree, and so the
Speaker 1: cliff face were delphinely hidden.
Speaker 3: But I knew from the ledge she could see us
Speaker 3: moving about on the lighted deck.
Speaker 2: I loaded my pistols with the only dry powder aboard,
Speaker 2: and we waited.
Speaker 1: There was no light on shore and no sound, and
Speaker 1: three hours went pastor of old policy for measures speed taken,
Speaker 1: my Venerable Captain Jelo.
Speaker 4: I have offered incense and rise to queen off heaven.
Speaker 1: If our enemies prevail after that, then we have mistreated
Speaker 1: them in some form of life. I go below to
Speaker 1: sleep a sleep, and whish to give orders to your maid.
Speaker 1: They give them to one another, Excellency. They are all
Speaker 1: commanders in their own right. We may perhaps meet later
Speaker 1: in third or fourth Heaven with powders I'll trade that
Speaker 1: boat and the ground to the sheep. I might warn
Speaker 1: you before the attack starts, your excellency, stay away from
Speaker 1: the rail, at least until after the smoke pots are thrown.
Speaker 1: The DIACs use bamboo poles with iron hooks on me,
Speaker 1: and then they can reach up and drag a man
Speaker 1: over the rail easier than picking coconuts, coprat. Perhaps we
Speaker 1: could surrender, make peace somehow.
Speaker 3: We'll take no surrender. They want our heads. They're a
Speaker 3: young board.
Speaker 2: What the way of the regulncy?
Speaker 5: You get covered them?
Speaker 1: Ahead them go the.
Speaker 3: Worries.
Speaker 2: And when the boats went against the sides, who's the junk?
Speaker 2: And now we're pushing the murderers.
Speaker 3: Hooks over the rail. The Chinese shoe was fighting.
Speaker 2: Like madmen, tossing over smoke up, fledging those heavy rocks
Speaker 2: down on.
Speaker 1: The heads of the pirate, marble pouring up smoking kettles
Speaker 1: of boiling oil, and the whole curtain of night was
Speaker 1: torn by the scream.
Speaker 4: Of the flanger.
Speaker 1: We find ourselves suddenly and went out book posaw sting
Speaker 1: o ice and rocks on Hili.
Speaker 2: Coock either be swarming about us in another two minutes.
Speaker 4: Where's the Captain Gentlem he has retired to cavern.
Speaker 1: It would be unchy about to say he hides that alive.
Speaker 2: The little join.
Speaker 3: What happened young four?
Speaker 2: They're on the island. Look, it would appear cop out
Speaker 2: stick right your past.
Speaker 4: Three has burst into flame.
Speaker 1: The great flaming torch of the tree spread into full
Speaker 1: bloom and leaps up to the heavens, lighting the whole
Speaker 1: sea around us and.
Speaker 2: Everywhere about us.
Speaker 1: Streaming horse pair, the diet drew off in their boats
Speaker 1: and stared at the blazing goad, at a single tree,
Speaker 1: and then in full view on the glowing face of
Speaker 1: the cliff, the beautiful and weird figure of a woman,
Speaker 1: hair streaming behind it, swung slowly up from behind the plane,
Speaker 1: and up and up, and then disappeared over the ledge
Speaker 1: in front of the cave.
Speaker 4: And at the sight of.
Speaker 1: Their white goddess escaping from her prison in the tree,
Speaker 1: the DIACs broke and panic and turned their boats and
Speaker 1: raced for the shore. And while I thought of the
Speaker 1: signal torch I'd left with Delphina, Suddenly the battle was over.
Speaker 1: Ten thousand Beauchamp Savan expected good watcha the Litta Pakkita saved.
Speaker 4: Our waftres lies. All right, then you recognize how these
Speaker 4: vulnerable eyes have never looked upon sight.
Speaker 1: More fair, I shall address a after as princess of heaven,
Speaker 1: and I think perhaps another recognized her also.
Speaker 4: Imber, did you not see it? That was Delphina? It
Speaker 4: was my wife.
Speaker 1: I know she was a board with us about your
Speaker 1: God by your permission, Senior, No, she stowed away, and
Speaker 1: as would the knowledge of her presence be kept from.
Speaker 2: You, I have no doubt she found you quite agreeable
Speaker 2: that such a plan.
Speaker 3: Take care, excellency, I care.
Speaker 2: I will see your hang.
Speaker 4: Don't want her?
Speaker 3: I should rape her through the street, and when they left,
Speaker 3: we will discuss that later.
Speaker 4: I don't know disco my detaions.
Speaker 1: In fact, he may be how about it once and
Speaker 1: perhaps beat on her bed on this wedding.
Speaker 2: Your pardon me.
Speaker 1: It is my humble opinion that elderly man should learn
Speaker 1: to control the wait.
Speaker 3: There's a direc warrior hiding there by the rail.
Speaker 4: They both have gone and left him.
Speaker 1: Excellent, say excellency, away from that, Raila, get back.
Speaker 5: Look out the.
Speaker 1: Commendable shooting Captain la Hi, but a little used to
Speaker 1: the Captain General.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid. See what you can do from young Poe.
Speaker 2: I'm going ashore to look after her.
Speaker 4: See what I can do for him?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: How can I be expected to replace man's head on
Speaker 1: his body, especially when head.
Speaker 4: Seems to have road overboard?
Speaker 1: There's not believed be the use in giving me a
Speaker 1: poet's blindy or reprobate. It's nothing but pure love that
Speaker 1: kept me from sailing in here this morning and finding
Speaker 1: nothing but your.
