Presenting Michael Redgrave at CS Foresters

in Domino Man of the Sea, Horatio Hornblore.

I truly believe that of all human emotions,

the one which depresses a man most is that of helplessness.

And nothing gives that feeling more than defeat.

When I was still in my 20s, a lieutenant on board,

his Majesty's ship, Brinon,

there was a particular night,

when we were in the city,

and I was in the city,

and I was in the city,

and I was in the city,

the night, when we were standing off the island of Haiti.

He tried to force our way past the Spanish fort,

which guarded the entrance to Somana Bay.

When we'd run aground,

we'd been forced to turn, tail, and run like a frightened hare.

Miss Room Blaser?

Yes.

Yes.

Captain's order, sir.

We'll report to the cabinet once.

Report to the captain.

High eyes are at once.

Captain's cabin?

What have I done wrong?

Lieutenant Hornblower reporting, sir.

Come in, come in, Hornblower.

And please be good enough to close the door.

Lieutenant Bush and I are having a devil of a time

keeping these charts from blowing away as it is.

I'm sorry, sir. It's quite a dark.

Well, Hornblower,

what's this you've been up to?

Up to, sir?

I've been asleep, sir.

What's that to do with it?

I mean, this foolish, impractical scheme of yours.

Allow me to explain, sir. Mr. Hornblower,

I took the liberty of telling Captain Buckland.

Telling him what, Lieutenant Bush?

You are sleepy.

What we talked about on deck, Hornblower,

your idea of a landing party storming the fort from the rail.

Oh, yes, Captain Buckland, yes, sir.

Maybe, yes.

Maybe no, Hornblower.

Who pens?

Why?

I think it's possible, sir.

Possible depends on many things.

For example, how many men we send ashore?

Hundreds, sir.

A hundred plus the Marines.

Oh, no.

That's a total of a hundred eighty.

Spaniards might have a good deal more.

Sir, I think not.

You must have noticed yesterday during the naval action.

They were fighting only six guns from the fort.

Don't say only six Hornblower.

They were big guns. Extremely big.

But that's not what I mean, sir.

I'm sure none of us will ever forget how big they were.

What I mean is, gun crews can't be more than ten.

Well, that's ten to each gun. That's sixty.

I'll say the same number to look after ammunition detail and garrison.

Oh, well, that can't be more than a hundred and twenty, sir.

A hundred and twenty.

Behind solid stone walls.

They won't be guarding the rear of the fort, sir.

And how do you judge that, pretty tell, man?

They're expecting an attack from the water, sir.

Especially after our attempt of yesterday.

I'd be obliged if you stopped mentioning that.

Yes, sir.

But it's true.

Here's the island of Hayes, sir.

Here's the Spanish fort overlooking Samana Bay.

Here's Scottsman's Bay.

Behind it to the left.

That's your suggested landing, please, eh?

Yes, Lieutenant Bush, sure.

Although it's not really my place to suggest we go on with it Hornblower.

What about the natives?

Well, they hold this harp of the island, sir, the right harp.

We're not at war against them.

No, sir.

But the dons are.

We might as well take it into our considerations.

They're afraid of the natives, sir.

That's why they'll be watching the front of the fort.

Right here.

Scottsman's Bay.

And then this way through the marsh and up the ridge of land,

and there's the fort.

With the fort in our hands we'll control all of Samana Bay.

The Bay is a rat's nest of Spanish privateers.

They could never use it as an anchorage against it.

Oh, if Hornblower.

There's always if.

Why, sir?

It's getting late, gentlemen.

We'll think about it.

Think about it.

So, now what?

Well, sir, I mean, you'll put it off.

Well, Hornblower, you're not suggesting we can be done now tonight.

Well, there's time enough, sir.

Time enough tomorrow night.

Yes, sir.

Only what?

Good heavens isn't my crew tired enough already.

But the dons are all so tired, sir.

And the longer we wait, the longer they have to consider the whole situation and prepare.

What do you say, Lieutenant Bush?

Well, sir, I'm inclined to agree with Lieutenant Wombler.

So, it's done.

But you're surprised, I say.

Oh, very well then.

The landing part, it is.

Scotland's Bay.

Lieutenant Bush, you'll be in charge.

A hundred men and a marine guard.

I say.

I suppose you'll need a second in command.

I will.

That many men.

Good will.

You can take whom you choose.

Lieutenant Bush, if you please.

Oh.

Nothing, sir.

I'm made.

Well, you look at him now, Captain.

He cannot withstand an attention he's so anxious to give.

Of course, Hombler.

Who else would I take his second in command?

Wasn't this your scheme in the first place?

A greed, Bush, a greed.

Hold blows your second.

Although I'll be left for all the short-handed.

It'll go badly with all of us if this venture fails.

You'll have the run-out and standing off some other bad dons.

I will.

And I'll have my glass trained on the fort.

Mr. Ranger signal.

If we're successful, sir, we'll fly our flag

above the spreads.

Good enough.

Our ends are above the dons.

Good.

Now, let's see.

Well, Hombler, you're tapping your legs like a regular cricket.

What now?

What else is there?

Well, I was wondering if we'd best alter our course.

So we can head for Scotsman's Bay now.

We shouldn't waste any time.

The order was given and the ship healed over.

The black bulk of the topic island grew larger before our straining eyes.

The land breeze caught us and then we heard the swell of the surf.

And then we were in the small boats heading in towards the beach at Scottsmouth Bay.

Sterry there, Helm.

He beheaded in properly. We lost some of the lot of us, I said.

He did it in cheers.

Sterry always there.

The first of the small boats behind us, Haumbler.

I said.

I wish there wasn't so much phosphorescence in the water.

But you're a trail of it behind a river.

I hope you all write about the domes looking the other way.

So wow.

Hundred and eighty a minute.

This go over the plans, Haumbler.

I said.

Every man has strict orders not to load his musket.

He's climbing through a tangle of brush.

If a gun goes off by accident, it'll rouse Ibra's spaniard in the fort.

Or at least their wall sentries will rouse them.

We'll rely on cold steel.

Bayonis.

At least two of inside the walls.

I said.

Do you think single-file, Haumbler?

You mean from the beach, sir?

Yeah, I'd.

There almost likely be a pass, but it'll be narrow.

Well, there's the wall of a fort to scale, sir.

Oh, good lord.

I forgot the grapples, grapples to reach the top of the wall.

As I ordered them put by sir, there.

There in the boats.

Oh, good.

What's wrong with your throat, Haumbler?

You keep making odd noises.

My nut's dry, sir.

Keep getting thirsty.

No, sir.

So am I.

Shall I proceed as planned, sir?

Yes.

You'll go ahead with the ordinary Haumbler.

So seize until you come within sight of the Spanish fort.

Take the air and July arrive with the marines.

Okay?

Yes, sir.

Quite clever.

At any boat.

Yes, what is it?

We're at the beach, sir.

Oh, lord.

We're driving in.

Or are there us?

On the next wave.

Now.

After we left the marsh and began going upward.

Along a narrow path we found on a ridge.

The climb was back breaking.

And now is that all.

Well, sir.

Pass the order to Holt.

I, sir.

Holt there.

Holt there.

Holt there.

What is it, sir?

Your eyes are accustomed to the darkness, Holt.

I think so, sir.

There's something up ahead in that clearing.

Can't be the fort we're not far enough for that.

I can't make it out, sir.

I don't know, can I?

There were just its moving, sir.

It might be there.

I can't make it out, sir.

I don't know, can I?

There were just its moving, sir.

It might be there, sir.

It's possible.

I can't move the column till we make certain.

Holt none fussing about it.

I have my saber.

We'll go forward and find out what it is.

Lonesome.

Yes, alone.

Lonesome.

Lonesome.

Lonesome.

Lonesome.

Lonesome.

Lonesome.

Lonesome.

Lonesome.

Lonesome.

I've found it difficult to decore my thoughts on that sotry night on the island of Haiti.

When we were attempting a surprise action against the Spanish fort,

an hundred and eighty men,

a good portion of the crew of his majesty's ship Renan,

all on shore in the darkness.

The Spanish fort only a few hundred yards away, yet all might be lost.

For in the darkness ahead I'd spied something moving.

I felt a tremendous weight on my conscience,

but it was I who had suggested this whole attack.

As I went ahead to investigate with only the Seaman Wooten to keep me company,

my heart was pounding 60 to the dozen.

Sir.

Yes, Wooten.

Directly.

It must be a century.

If you blunders on source, sir.

Eddie Wooten.

No panic if you please.

Oh, sir.

Coming this way, sir.

I cold steel.

Remember, there must be no sound.

Cold steel.

How old are you?

That.

Good lord.

It's a cow.

You know the colds killed the deer.

I could have spored it.

Yes, yes, yes, so could I.

Now, Wooten.

Listen.

I'll wait here.

You go back to the column and have the men come forward

and pass the word that there are cows about.

If you and I almost took this one for the enemy,

there's no telling what nervous troops would hide if I had it.

Even a four-legged beast can raise an alarm, you know.

So our progress continued.

Bush's column came along and we moved forward.

And every sound seemed magnified by excitement and nervousness.

And every whisper seemed a shout.

Silence there.

Silence!

Or there.

Are we never going to reach that blasted foresharm, Laura?

I think we have, Mr. Bush.

Was?

We have reached it, sir.

Directly there, before us.

By heaven, so it is.

Or there.

Or.

Or.

Or.

The Spanish thought.

Poor blood.

Come forward with me.

I, sir.

There's not a light showing.

Nothing.

Yes, sir.

The moon's beginning to rise.

Bit lighter than it was, Simon is the girl.

Yes, sir.

Close enough.

The walls look like I'm coming high from here.

That's not too high for grapple, sir.

There's nobody like sailors who's warming up and over.

Isn't that?

Isn't that a salibort, yonder?

A salibort?

Well, directly ahead, sir.

A bit to the right.

The door must be wooden, sir.

A good, strong axon might be able to cut through it.

You're referring to persons made superps.

I, sir, best man, with an axe I've ever seen.

Hmm.

It's a fuzzy fail, sir.

Come to school, our eggs in one basket.

We won't have to, sir.

I suggest we split our forces.

If you take the sailors and deploy them to the left with grapples and cutlerces,

I can take the Marines and try for the salibort.

Take silk with you.

Yes, sir.

Well, moon rising.

Bedorn zone.

Come along, old lad.

Now, Marines, you understand your instructions?

No, I don't.

Lieutenant Bush has taken the rest over to the left wall.

His men are deployed with grapples and cutlerces.

Silk?

I, sir.

Roy Deer, sir.

Marked out your target, sir.

I got it fixed and proper, sir.

Good.

And the seer axe is a sharp as a man could move.

Don't you fret, sir.

I'll bash that salibort door in like it was cheese.

And, my younger rat.

I can't think of it, sir.

Hold on.

Yes, sir.

Let me remind you, cold steel, no shooting until we're well inside.

Yes, sir.

Well, enough.

Order fixed bandits.

Marines?

Fixed bandits.

Silk, stay beside me.

Aye, sir.

Very well.

I believe we can now move forward.

Here we are.

Silk.

Silk.

Roy Deer, sir.

Stand aside.

I tell you what, you must be gruffling with the walls by now, sir.

Yes, Walton.

Spaniards are coming to life.

Keep at it, Silk.

What is the earth?

Separate force should do it.

One more, sir.

If someone could reach through and lift off the bolts, sir.

Stand aside, Silk.

I've got it.

All right.

Follow me, Rats.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Hornblur!

It's Hornblur!

Coming, sir.

Aye, let's get them pushed.

What's that on your arm, Hornblur?

Blood?

If it is, it's not mine.

You won't have.

I believe so, sir.

There are three dead among our Marines and a dozen casualties.

I've established a situation for the wounded over near the Saliporo.

Have you now?

Good idea.

You can concentrate all the wounded there.

Don's fought quite well in there.

Yes, sir.

Sir, hi.

I beg your pardon.

Eh?

Haven't we better make the fort secure?

It's secure.

We've won.

We should post a guard on the pada, sir.

With your permission, sir.

Hornblur, there's another matter, once tending to.

There is, sir.

Aye.

There's no well inside the walls.

Well.

Well, right, sir.

That is.

Hope it hasn't been poisoned.

I'll never forgive myself.

See to that or, sir.

Or, sir.

This way, Hornblur.

It's turned on.

All right.

Time to make signals to the renowned.

Yes, sir.

Silk.

Yes, sir.

I see you have our colors.

It's much enough.

Bring down the Spanish flag.

Aye, sir.

Once this business is over, I'll be grateful for sleep.

It's over the line.

And water, sir.

Yes.

Water, sir.

Oh.

What's the matter, Hornblur?

Nothing, sir.

Just a time ashamed of myself.

For what?

Forgetting to post a guard over the water well.

It's the only thing you did for this.

I should have remembered.

Hornblur, I'm the one who should be ashamed.

I don't look at myself.

What have I done?

You led the attack, Lieutenant Bush.

Hornblur, it was your plan.

You conceived it.

I had no notion of what to do.

I, and between us,

neither did Captain Buckland.

Your plan and your details.

It was you.

Remember the grapples.

It was you.

Devised how we should divide up.

It was you who had the sense enough to put guards on the prisoners.

And remember the powders and the spirits.

You really think that?

Would I say it otherwise?

Well, I...

I didn't want to make a speech, but...

Sure.

Oh, yes, sir.

Ready to bend on our colors?

Yes, sir.

One moment.

Give me our answer, please.

Here it is, sir.

Hornblur.

Yes, sir.

Here.

What, sir?

Yeah.

Take it.

Take it, ma'am.

The British flag, if you please.

I want you to bend it on and hoist it up.

After all, if it weren't for you,

it might not go up at all, huh?

Yes, sir.

Looks good in the sunlight, don't you, sir.

It does suck.

By even that she does indeed.
