Speaker 1: Afraid to face the tax collector tomorrow. Fed up with
Speaker 1: high prices, I want to get away from that.
Speaker 2: Uh. We offer you Escape.
Speaker 1: You have shipped aboard a south Sea schooner with a
Speaker 1: ghost of its dead captain in command. A ghost who
Speaker 1: shoots guns, resurrects the dead, creates a terror from which
Speaker 1: you cannot escape.
Speaker 3: Escape produced and directed by William N. Robeson, and designed
Speaker 3: to free you from the four walls of today for
Speaker 3: a half hour of high adventure.
Speaker 1: To night, we escape across the limitless horizons of the
Speaker 1: South Seas. An Alfred Nois version of a classic legend
Speaker 1: of blue water. The log of the Evening Star.
Speaker 4: Tahiti, French Oilcania, June nineteenth. The sailing schooner Evening Star,
Speaker 4: reported missing since the first of April today, was discovered
Speaker 4: one hundred miles west of here, drifting about in a
Speaker 4: dead calm, with all sails set but not a soil
Speaker 4: on board. The ship, when found was well stocked with
Speaker 4: food and water, and all three of her small boats
Speaker 4: were still present. The sun bag body of the ship's
Speaker 4: cat was lying in the bow, and the mess table
Speaker 4: in the crew's quarters had been laid in preparation for
Speaker 4: a meal which was never served. Otherwise, everything aboard seemed
Speaker 4: to be in order, and no solution can be offered
Speaker 4: to explain the whereabouts of the twelve persons who sailed
Speaker 4: on her from San Francisco. It appears that the fate
Speaker 4: of the Evening Star will remain permanently one of the
Speaker 4: weird and unsolved mysteries of the sea.
Speaker 5: My name is Harper. I'm first made of the south
Speaker 5: Sea schooner Evening Star. I'm writing this because I believe
Speaker 5: it my duty to make some record of the terrible
Speaker 5: things which have just occurred. Events I can't possibly enter
Speaker 5: in the ship's log I can't, of course, be certain
Speaker 5: that this account will ever come to light, because I'm
Speaker 5: not likely to live another twenty four hours. I guess
Speaker 5: I should have been able to see it three weeks ago,
Speaker 5: on the day we sailed from San Francisco, but I
Speaker 5: didn't m I remember I was standing on the deck
Speaker 5: of the Evening Star talking to Cato, the cook, while
Speaker 5: we waited for Captain Burgess to come aboard. We were
Speaker 5: due to sail in a half hour.
Speaker 6: Where you think we go on this trip, mister Harper.
Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know. Cato Marquess first, then Tahiti may
Speaker 5: beyond Australia.
Speaker 7: He's good to Reveport. He's bitter on open sea.
Speaker 5: Hm, you said it.
Speaker 6: We'll seemed very strange this trip without Captain Derell.
Speaker 5: Yeah. We'd had the same gang together for over two years.
Speaker 8: Mm.
Speaker 5: Some kanakas and the crew, you and I and Burgess Dayrell.
Speaker 5: I to believe he's been dead four months now, and.
Speaker 6: Then Captain Derrelle was proud man was good captain. He's
Speaker 6: too bad he died.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Burgess will make a good skipper too. Who's
Speaker 5: all right? His first mate?
Speaker 6: Why he not come on board yet?
Speaker 5: Captain Burgess? M I don't know, just can't bear to
Speaker 5: leave that new Briday is.
Speaker 6: I guess you have seen her, mister Harper, you know her? Maybe?
Speaker 5: No? No, I haven't. He's been staying down the coach
Speaker 5: somewhere ever since he got married a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 5: I don't even know who she is.
Speaker 6: New wife? You come on? Who is a rocky man?
Speaker 9: Kto?
Speaker 5: I got a strong hunch you're a sentimentalist down underneath.
Speaker 6: Ooh, it's possible, mister Harper.
Speaker 5: It has been said, Hey, Keto, there's Burgess now, coming down.
Speaker 6: The Piero's somebody with him too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, guess she's come down to see him off. Huh.
Speaker 5: At least we'll get a chance. Nah, that's missus Dayrell.
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe she go on ship to just like all time.
Speaker 5: No, she wouldn't want to sail on the ship her
Speaker 5: husband died on. I wonder, mister Harper.
Speaker 6: Mister Harper, Look, three birds fly around the bust.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I see him, Kato.
Speaker 6: He's really bad side, really bad.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know what you mean by that. All right,
Speaker 5: Captain Birges, we can sail any time you want. How
Speaker 5: are you, miss Daiel Dayrell.
Speaker 9: Oh gouse, mister Harper.
Speaker 10: Even though you're already acquainted with the lady, i'd like
Speaker 10: to present my wife your wife.
Speaker 8: We were married two weeks ago. Mister Hopper, I'm sailing
Speaker 8: with you on this trip.
Speaker 5: Well that's fine, glad to have your board, Missus dal Birges.
Speaker 5: I mean, well little be like old times.
Speaker 9: Old times, mister Hopper, Well.
Speaker 5: I mean all of us together and everything. Well, congratulations
Speaker 5: to both of you.
Speaker 8: Thank you, mister Harper. Look, I've brought Satan along too.
Speaker 8: He wouldn't miss this trip for anything.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's right and all. Oh yes, adan, uh, would
Speaker 5: you like to look over the Clarence papers, Captain Burgess,
Speaker 5: I got 'em right here.
Speaker 10: Oh, thank you, mister Harper, I assume there in order,
Speaker 10: He'll say, as soon as missus David, as soon as
Speaker 10: my wife's trunk comes aboard.
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, I'll be in the cabin if you wanted
Speaker 9: to be.
Speaker 8: Uh, Kato, would you take Satan and give him something
Speaker 8: to eat?
Speaker 6: I think he's hungry, Yes, missy, I'll take him right now.
Speaker 9: Come on, kiddy, we gonna fight.
Speaker 8: We well, mister Harper, we're all together again.
Speaker 5: That's right, Missus Burgess. We've even got Satan on board.
Speaker 8: Yes, all of us except my husband.
Speaker 5: Your husband is down in the cabin. Missus Burgess, you
Speaker 5: mean we're all here except Captain Dayreel. Well, once out
Speaker 5: at sea, things straightened out a little, the way they
Speaker 5: always do. After a while, we got so we could
Speaker 5: think of her as Missus Burgess instead of Missus Dayrell,
Speaker 5: And after that it wasn't so awkward. Captain Burgess stayed
Speaker 5: to himself quite a bit, but all in all it
Speaker 5: was a fairly pleasant three weeks up until yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 5: I was standing in the bow smoking, watching a school
Speaker 5: of dolphins skip out of the water, when Missus Burgess
Speaker 5: came up behind me.
Speaker 8: Mister Harper, I wonder if I could speak to you
Speaker 8: a moment. Of course, Miss Burgess, I'm I'm terribly frightened.
Speaker 5: You're frightened. What about?
Speaker 8: Is he around anywhere?
Speaker 5: Is who around?
Speaker 2: My husband?
Speaker 8: I don't want him to hear me?
Speaker 5: What now, missus Burgess, I can't listen.
Speaker 8: No, please, you're the only one I can turn to.
Speaker 8: We're all in terrible danger.
Speaker 5: You know danger. What are you talking about.
Speaker 8: Mister Harper? Do you have any reason to think my
Speaker 8: husband maybe not quite himself?
Speaker 5: Not quite himself? In what way?
Speaker 8: Do you think he may be? Insane? Of course, but
Speaker 8: you don't understand.
Speaker 5: I understand one thing, Missus Burgess. I'd better get back
Speaker 5: to my duties.
Speaker 10: I quite agree with you, mister Harper. Captain Burgess, I
Speaker 10: believe you really should stay in the cabin. My dad's
Speaker 10: far too windy for you up here in the bow.
Speaker 8: Yes, I was just going, I mean, I'm going right now.
Speaker 10: She has a rather delicate throat, Mister Harper, catches cold easily.
Speaker 9: Used to be a singer, you know, yes, sir, I know.
Speaker 10: Oh yes, yes, of course you do. We don't pay
Speaker 10: too much attention to anything. My wife might say, mister
Speaker 10: hoppoh Jesus, well she's upset.
Speaker 9: Just don't pay any attention to him.
Speaker 5: Something was wrong, all right, no question of that. But
Speaker 5: I couldn't figure what. I couldn't think of any terrible danger.
Speaker 5: It seemed more likely it was missus Burge's. It was
Speaker 5: not quite herself. Well, anyway, the whole business didn't make
Speaker 5: much sense, so I shrugged it off and forgot about
Speaker 5: it for a couple of hours. It was just at dusk.
Speaker 5: Most of the crew was below decks. I was sitting
Speaker 5: on the after hatch, scratching the ears of Satan, the
Speaker 5: ship's cap. The sun was just dropping past the horizon,
Speaker 5: and Satan was purring, me owing. Everything was pretty peaceful
Speaker 5: until I heard those voices coming from Captain Burgess.
Speaker 8: Captain No, no, really, I didn't.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't tell anybody, you.
Speaker 5: Know, it wasn't a matter of eavesdropping. They even forgotten
Speaker 5: anyone might hear him.
Speaker 9: I mean it, all right, you don't care about me.
Speaker 9: If he were alive, I.
Speaker 8: Still be with him.
Speaker 9: You can say that when you know about the thing
Speaker 9: that's here.
Speaker 2: On board with us.
Speaker 8: That's your imagination.
Speaker 9: I told you that imagination then, not what you told Harper?
Speaker 9: Is it do?
Speaker 5: Look satan? This is what he wants me to do,
Speaker 5: Captain Burchason, Captain Burgess.
Speaker 9: Yes, mister Harper, what is it?
Speaker 5: I wondered if you wanted Cato to bring your dinner
Speaker 5: here to the cabin, sir?
Speaker 9: No, mister Harper, I'll eat at the wheel. Tell them
Speaker 9: to bring it up right away, all.
Speaker 5: Right, capt'n Burgess.
Speaker 8: Mister Harper, listen carefully.
Speaker 5: You've got to help me, all right.
Speaker 8: How meet me on the after deck as soon as
Speaker 8: it's dark in an hour, if I can get away
Speaker 8: from him.
Speaker 5: Did you want something else, mister Happer, No, sir, nothing else, Captain.
Speaker 9: I suppose you know about you do this?
Speaker 5: But your wife, Sir, doesn't she want something to eat?
Speaker 9: She does not, mister Harper, She's indisposed. She does not
Speaker 9: wish to be disturbed. Is that popping declare? Now?
Speaker 5: I was convinced that there was danger aboard the Evening Star.
Speaker 5: I had a feeling that something deadly it was stirring
Speaker 5: itself and coming awake below decks. The first night's shadows
Speaker 5: were bringing her terrible threatening tenseness. I felt that I
Speaker 5: ought to scream to keep from laughing. Yet there was
Speaker 5: nothing to laugh about. I was quite certain that if
Speaker 5: I hadn't knocked on that door, Captain Burgess would have
Speaker 5: killed his wife. But why well, I hadn't found any
Speaker 5: sensible answer by the time Cato brought a tray of
Speaker 5: food in my.
Speaker 6: Chappin good evening, mister Harper.
Speaker 5: Oh put it there in the chart table with how
Speaker 5: does it look on that Cato?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 6: That I do not understand you, mister Harper.
Speaker 5: I mean, well, was it dark yere oohs.
Speaker 7: Get dark soon? I think, and I think too. Tonight
Speaker 7: is not goodnight?
Speaker 5: What do you mean by that?
Speaker 7: He's something bad onboard ship, mister Harper? I know understand
Speaker 7: what I know see it, I know hear it, but
Speaker 7: inside I've seence it all the time, grew bigger.
Speaker 5: Well, that's your imagination, Cato.
Speaker 7: He's the imagination bother you too, mister Harper.
Speaker 6: Ah, this morning three birds fly over ship together.
Speaker 7: Oh, dey a bun much incense? The can uh to
Speaker 7: night three birds fry over ship together?
Speaker 5: Well, what about it?
Speaker 7: He's a sign of death? Mister Hopper, to night on
Speaker 7: this ship. Somebody die?
Speaker 6: You like something else?
Speaker 2: Maybe?
Speaker 5: Oh, kidto that's all, thank you.
Speaker 6: Mister Happer, good night please.
Speaker 5: So I wasn't the only one on board it was
Speaker 5: feeling something was wrong. I wondered if Catroo knew any
Speaker 5: more of what was back of it than I did.
Speaker 5: You couldn't tell by looking at him. He could be
Speaker 5: busting with joy or scared half to death, and that
Speaker 5: face of his would never show either one anyway. Ten
Speaker 5: minutes later I was out on the dark fantail, watching
Speaker 5: the moon cast shadows from the rigging. After a while
Speaker 5: I heard her calling my.
Speaker 9: Name, Harper.
Speaker 5: Here, I am, miss Burgess. Where's the captain?
Speaker 8: I don't know. He didn't come back to the cabin.
Speaker 5: All right, I suppose you tell me what it's all
Speaker 5: about and talk fast.
Speaker 8: I don't know what it's about, mister Harper, not really.
Speaker 8: I only know that my husband has gone insane.
Speaker 5: And you told me that earlier. What makes you think
Speaker 5: so he tried to kill me? Yes? I know why,
Speaker 5: because of last night.
Speaker 8: He came into my cabin and woke me up.
Speaker 2: He was trembling.
Speaker 9: Why does a sheep but why?
Speaker 8: He said he'd just seen Captain Dalrel.
Speaker 5: I'm dead Deyrell, but he's yes.
Speaker 8: He died four months ago. I told him he imagined it.
Speaker 8: He keeps talking about it. He says, Captain Dyrel has
Speaker 8: come back to to punish us.
Speaker 5: Punish you for what well, but.
Speaker 8: Not waiting longer to get married?
Speaker 9: Who You've got to do something?
Speaker 5: Well? If I use force, missus Burgess, it's the same
Speaker 5: as mutiny.
Speaker 2: But he's insane.
Speaker 8: He may do anything.
Speaker 5: I se you're right there. I don't know, but what wait?
Speaker 9: Hm, there by the mast, it's day rail.
Speaker 5: There wasn't any doubt about it. The moonlight behind him
Speaker 5: threw his shadow toward us on the deck, and he
Speaker 5: had on that tall peaked cap and the white muffler
Speaker 5: he'd always worn when he was alive. He didn't move,
Speaker 5: didn't say anything, just stood there looking at us, Miss
Speaker 5: Burgess Before I coul stop or. Miss Burgess turned the
Speaker 5: round to the rail and jumped overboard one of the kanaka.
Speaker 5: Saar grabbed a light reserver and went in after it.
Speaker 5: I ran to the long boat hanging in the davits
Speaker 5: of the port rail. I don't know, Let's get this
Speaker 5: boat in the water. Missus Burgess is overboard along with
Speaker 5: one of the boys. Did you see anything on deck?
Speaker 2: Oh? What I see?
Speaker 9: I believe, But come on.
Speaker 5: Move here, take the oars. Schooner's not gotten much stories way,
Speaker 5: so they should be far astern. Come on, come on.
Speaker 12: Bye.
Speaker 9: Somebody's shooting on day all right?
Speaker 5: Never mind keep rowing, will you. We'll find out about
Speaker 5: it later. We've got to pick up those two before
Speaker 5: they go under. We didn't find him, though, the shooting
Speaker 5: on board stopped after a while. We rode around for
Speaker 5: a half hour more. We couldn't find a trace of them. Finally,
Speaker 5: there wasn't anything else to do, so I told the
Speaker 5: kanaka to pull for the schooner. We were about ten
Speaker 5: yards away from the side when.
Speaker 9: Mister Hopper look.
Speaker 5: I looked up at the rail and there stood Dayrell.
Speaker 5: He didn't say anything, just stood there. He had a
Speaker 5: gun in his hand. Hey, Reel, what are you trying
Speaker 5: to do that over Joe? We gotta get away from it, Joe.
Speaker 5: We were drifting away from the side of the schooner.
Speaker 5: I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder with a
Speaker 5: bulleted hit, but the kannaka was worse off. Blood was
Speaker 5: running down over his face, from a hole in the
Speaker 5: center of his forehead. That's when I passed out. When
Speaker 5: I came to, it was broad daylight. The boat was lying.
Speaker 5: I was lying and was bumping up against the side
Speaker 5: of the schooner. Captain Burgess was talling down on me
Speaker 5: from the rail.
Speaker 9: Mister Hopper, are you alive?
Speaker 5: I'm all right, Captain Burgess.
Speaker 9: In a horrible night, mister Hopper, it's all right. Now.
Speaker 5: Can you help me boort you?
Speaker 9: Yes? Can you lift up your arms? Yes, sir?
Speaker 2: Here easy?
Speaker 9: Now, okay, Joe, you can't get me a hand here, caple.
Speaker 10: Now, there's pretty bad wound and kind of weak.
Speaker 5: Yess. I lost a lot of blood. Sorry about your wife, sir.
Speaker 5: We couldn't find her.
Speaker 9: I know. Only three of us left alive on board. Now,
Speaker 9: mister Hopper, you and I and Cato here.
Speaker 5: What happened?
Speaker 9: You may not believe it. It was Captain Darrell.
Speaker 5: Yes, I saw him, got a.
Speaker 10: Hold of the ship's guns and killed the whole crew.
Speaker 10: Locked me in the cabin while he did.
Speaker 5: But he's dead, Captain Burgess. We buried him at sea
Speaker 5: four months ago.
Speaker 10: No matter, he's come back now, mister Hopper. It's his
Speaker 10: ship evening star. Isn't he wants it now?
Speaker 5: It's not possible. A man is dead.
Speaker 9: That's what his wife.
Speaker 10: I mean, my wife said when I told her i'd
Speaker 10: seen him, said I was crazy.
Speaker 9: I think she knows better now.
Speaker 5: Maybe we could search the ship.
Speaker 9: Kato and I went through to daylight this morning. We
Speaker 9: found nothing.
Speaker 5: Well, there has to be some explanation.
Speaker 9: There is the wicked. She'll be punished their sins.
Speaker 5: What do you mean by that, I think, mister Harper.
Speaker 9: Nothing at all.
Speaker 10: Well, I was his friend, always thought of a lot
Speaker 10: of Captain Dayell. You know that, don't you, mister.
Speaker 9: Harper, Yes, sir, all right now in the daylight. But
Speaker 9: he'll come back tonight as soon as it's dark.
Speaker 10: It's only the three of us now to face it,
Speaker 10: mister Happer, for if you count Satan, and I'm thinking
Speaker 10: there's more than one Satan on board this ship.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 5: They helped me to the bunk in my cabin and
Speaker 5: left me there. That was about noon today. I could
Speaker 5: tell her with the look on Captain Burges's face, it well,
Speaker 5: it was pretty certain I wasn't going to live. That's
Speaker 5: why I decided to write this account, try to set
Speaker 5: down everything that happened. In a way, this is the
Speaker 5: real log of the Evening Star, even if it doesn't
Speaker 5: make much sense Anyway, right after sundown, Cato brought me
Speaker 5: in a tray of food.
Speaker 6: How do you feel, no, mister Harper.
Speaker 5: I guess not too bad, Cato?
Speaker 9: You like something to eat?
Speaker 5: Maybe later? Maybe you can leave it there?
Speaker 2: Uh is?
Speaker 6: But you eat now? Rita, I think we all did.
Speaker 5: Has anything happened yet?
Speaker 6: He's not dark yet? When he's dark, didn't he come?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Where's Captain Burgess?
Speaker 6: I no see him? He's hide somewhere.
Speaker 5: I think, Kato. All those who were killed last night,
Speaker 5: what happened to their bodies?
Speaker 7: He's buried in Cea. This morning, I helped Captain Burgess.
Speaker 7: You you like something else?
Speaker 11: Maybe?
Speaker 5: No? Thanks, Cato.
Speaker 6: Didn't I go burn much incense?
Speaker 7: Make peace with many gods for last time?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 6: I think goodbye, Breeze.
Speaker 5: I lit the lamp over the bunk, and I lay
Speaker 5: there for a long time. I don't know how long.
Speaker 5: I didn't know where Captain Burgess and Cato were, what
Speaker 5: they were doing. I kept waiting to hear the sound
Speaker 5: of shooting, kept lying there, dreading it, and then gradually
Speaker 5: I began to realize that somebody was singing onboard way off,
Speaker 5: and I knew that voice. I'd heard it somewhere before,
Speaker 5: singing the same song. It was Missus.
Speaker 11: Burgess, stopper, mister Harp, with you.
Speaker 5: Here, I heard, Captain Burgess. What in the name of
Speaker 5: heaven's going on?
Speaker 9: She's come back to She's in there with him now
Speaker 9: in the cabin.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's impossible. She drowned last night.
Speaker 9: She's dead, they boasted. But they've come back there in
Speaker 9: the cabin now. But she's singing for it.
Speaker 10: She never sang for me, mister Harper, but now she's
Speaker 10: singing for him.
Speaker 9: Come, mister Harper, you gotta help me. I'll tell you.
Speaker 9: They're both in the cabin right now.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I don't know too.
Speaker 9: Week I forgot. I'll go aload, I'll stop them. Somehow.
Speaker 9: I got to stop them.
Speaker 5: I pulled myself up in the bunk and I put
Speaker 5: my feet on the floor. Weak or not, one way
Speaker 5: or another, I had to get to that cabin. I
Speaker 5: managed to stagger outside under the deck. Captain Burgess had
Speaker 5: disappeared somewhere, and there was no sign of anything moving
Speaker 5: there in the moonlight except satan the cabin and came
Speaker 5: up and rubbed against my ankles. Singing had stopped, and
Speaker 5: the ship was quiet. I made my way forward and
Speaker 5: finally was looking through the skylight down into the captain's cabin.
Speaker 5: One lamp was lit. Its light fell on the hunched
Speaker 5: figure that strode about the cabin, cap pulled down low,
Speaker 5: hands sunk in his pockets, all the old familiar gestures.
Speaker 5: It was Captain Dave, and he was alone. I crouched
Speaker 5: there with the skylight, shivering from the night wind and
Speaker 5: from the terror inside of me, watching that awful figure.
Speaker 5: After a while, it walked over and stood beside the phonograph.
Speaker 5: Then I realized where that voice had come from. Dayreel
Speaker 5: had always been crazy about his wife singing, and he'd
Speaker 5: made a lot of records of her voice. Was playing
Speaker 5: one of them. Now. The song went on, and he
Speaker 5: paced back and forth, and I still couldn't figure it out.
Speaker 5: And then for just a moment, the white muffler fell
Speaker 5: back from his throat, and for the first time I
Speaker 5: saw Captain Dayreel's face. I'm not sure how I managed
Speaker 5: to stumble back here to my cabin. I'm writing this now,
Speaker 5: just as raptily as I can. I may be interrupted
Speaker 5: at any minute. If that happens, I'll try to slip
Speaker 5: it behind the map here on the cabin wall, in
Speaker 5: the hopes that it may be I can hear him coming. Now,
Speaker 5: whoever may read this, please try to get word of
Speaker 5: my family in San Francisco. Yes, come in.
Speaker 9: I thought you might be asleep, mister Harper.
Speaker 5: How could anybody sleep, Kevin Burgess as long as Dayrell's
Speaker 5: loose on board.
Speaker 10: Yes, that's true, mister Harper. Should have seen him down
Speaker 10: there in the cabin and heard too. He was walking
Speaker 10: up and down as proud as ever, and she was
Speaker 10: singing for him just like she used to.
Speaker 9: We should have seen him.
Speaker 5: I did see him.
Speaker 9: They never sang for me like that. Not it you
Speaker 9: saw him? Did he look natural, just as always?
Speaker 5: Captain Burgess. It was you I saw, dressed up in
Speaker 5: Darrel's clothes that were stored in the sea chest there
Speaker 5: in the cabin.
Speaker 10: Oh no, mister Happy, you're mistaken. It was his spirit
Speaker 10: come back to punish us.
Speaker 5: It was you all the time, you who fired those
Speaker 5: shots last night. You're insane, that's what she said too.
Speaker 5: That's because he told me, because that's the truth.
Speaker 9: I always been talking to you.
Speaker 5: He's taught to nobody. He's dead and you've never seen him.
Speaker 5: Accepting your own guilty conscience, Just what is that guilt?
Speaker 5: Captain Burgess? Did you kill him?
Speaker 6: Oh, don't.
Speaker 13: Don't say that, mister Harper.
Speaker 9: I was his friend.
Speaker 10: I thought a lot of him and missus Dayreel too.
Speaker 10: Everybody knew who were friends.
Speaker 9: I did he tell.
Speaker 13: You that you're completely mad? Don't say that, mister Harper.
Speaker 13: I've got to save you from him. He talks to you,
Speaker 13: and you're week and you can't run away. I've got
Speaker 13: to save you.
Speaker 5: Car Just put on that gun, don't don't say it.
Speaker 13: Got to go someplace where he can't find us, mister Harper,
Speaker 13: Go up, Dick, I'll take you.
Speaker 9: Mister Harper, come on, h don't worry. I'll save you
Speaker 9: from him. His ship, everything on it. He wants it back.
Speaker 9: We've got to give it to him, mister Harper. Got
Speaker 9: to let him have it. Got to get off the ship.
Speaker 9: It's you. They wrong. Go away. You can't stop us.
Speaker 8: Day round.
Speaker 9: I'll show you. See, mister Harper, I killed him. They will.
Speaker 14: Now he can't stop us. There is again fare by
Speaker 14: the mass. See him, mister Harper, he's coming this way.
Speaker 9: He won't stop. Got to get.
Speaker 14: Away, got to save him, mister Harper. Here he's the rail.
Speaker 9: I'll help you there. See he's God Damnell.
Speaker 2: No, it's just me, and.
Speaker 9: I'm going to you. See it's all yours now, The
Speaker 9: Evening Star, just like you wanted to. No, no, look
Speaker 9: stay back, I'm going. I'm going.
Speaker 12: Ah ah.
