1:07Call all hands, big to quarters. Now I beg of you, stand by this table better. One broadside in order to please gap in bush. Point of some target. Windstuff's ready. Eyes on, ready. Fire! Presenting Michael Redgrave at CS Foresters in Domino Man of the Sea, Horatio Hornblower. The Red Bull Dragonberry Emergizer.

2:24The Red Bull Dragonberry Emergizer. The Red Bull Dragonberry Emergizer.

3:24He tried to force our way past the Spanish fort which guided the entrance to Somana Bay. When we'd run aground, we'd been forced to turn tail and run like a frightened hare. Miss Ruhl Blowerzer? Yes. Yes. Captain Zorderser, we'll report to the cabinet once. Report to the captain. High-izer of once. Captain's cabin. What have I done wrong? The time of Hornblower reporting, sir. 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 thought. 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. No, I mean to expect, sir. Mr. Hornblower, I took the liberty of telling Captain Buckland.

4:26Telling him what, Lieutenant Bush? You are sleepy. What we talked about on deck, Hornblower. Your idea of a landing party. Storming the fork from the rail. Oh, yes, Captain Buckland, yes sir. Maybe, yes. Maybe no, Hornblower. Who pens? Five. I think it's possible, sir. Possible depends on many things. For example, how many men we send a shore? A hundred. 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 beast. 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 amount of time. That's sixty. I'll say the same number to look after ammunition detail and garrison. Oh, well, that can't be more than 120, sir. Yeah, 120.

5:26Behind solid stone wall. 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 waters, sir. Especially after our attempt of yesterday. Yes, I'd be obliged if you stopped mentioning that. Yes, sir. But it's true. Here's the island of Heizle. Here's the Spanish fort overlooking Samana Bay. Here's Scottsman's Bay. Yes. Behind it to the left. That's your suggested landing, please, eh? Yes, Lieutenant Bush. Oh, no, it's not really my place to suggest we go on with it, Hornblower. What about the natives? Well, they hold this half of the island, sir, the right half. 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 her.

6:27Oh, if, Hornblower. There's always if. Why, sir? Ah, it's getting late, General Onewill. We'll think about it. Think about it. Sir, now what? Well, sir, I mean, you'll put it off. Hornblower, you're not suggesting we can be done now tonight? Well, there's time enough, sir. Time enough tomorrow night. Yes, sir. And they only watch. Good heavens isn't my crew tired enough already. 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 Wombra. Soon it's done, but you're surprised, I say. Oh, very well then. A landing bar, 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.

7:27That way, man. Good will. You can take whom you choose. Lieutenant Bush, if you please. Oh, well, nothing, sir. I'm made. Well, you look at you now, Captain. You cannot disdain an attention, he's so anxious to get. Of course, Hombra. Who else would I take his second in command? Wasn't this your scheme in the first place? A greed, Bush, a greed. Hombra is your second. Although I'll be left for all the short-handed. It'll go badly with all of us if these vents are fails. You'll have the run-out and standing off some on a bare dung. I will. And I'll have my glass trained on the fort. Mr. Ranger, signal. Where successful, sir, we'll fly our flag above the Spagot. Good enough. Our answer above the dawn is good. Now, let's see. Well, Hombra, 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 Scotchman's Bay now. We shouldn't waste any time.

8:33The order was given and the ship healed over. The black bulk of the topic island grew larger before our straining eyes. The land breathes quarters and then we heard the swell of the surf. And then we were in the small boats heading in towards the beach at Scotchman's Bay. Steady there, Helm. He'd be headed in properly, who else swamped a lot of us, I said. He did, and she is steady always there. The first of the small boats behind us, Hombra. I don't know. I wish there wasn't so much phosphorescence in the water. You'd have trail of it behind the river. I hope you'll write about the dams looking the other way. So wow. 180 men. Fisk over the plounds, Hombra.

9:35Every man has strict orders not to load his musket. We'll be climbing through a tangle of brush. If a gun goes off by accident, it'll rouse Ibris pan-yard in the fort. At least their wall sentries will rise and we'll rely on cold steel, Bianis. At least to an inside the walls. I said. Do you think single-file, Hombra? You mean from the beach, sir? Yeah, I'd, uh, there must likely be a pass, but it'll be narrow. Well, there's the wall of the fort to scale. So, oh, good lord, I forgot the grapples. Grapples to reach the top of the wall. As I ordered them put by Sir there, that in the boats. Oh, good. What's wrong with your throat, Hombra? You keep making odd noises. My nut's dry, sir. Keep getting thirsty. No, sir. Oh, so much. Shall I proceed as planned, sir? Yes. You'll go ahead with the ordinary Hombra. So, proceed until you come within sight of the Spanish fort.

10:35You'll wake there until I arrive with the morades. Okay? Yes, sir. Quite clever. At the end of the boat. Yes, what is it? We're at the beach, sir. Oh, lord. We're driving in. All right, ours. On the next wave. Now! After we left the marsh and began going upward. Along the narrow path we found on a ridge. The climb was back breaking. And now is their rule. Worm. Pass the order to Wort. I, sir. Wolt there. I'll see you over. Oh, dear. I'll see you over. What is it, sir? Your eyes are accustomed to the darkness, Worten. I think so, sir. There's something up ahead in that clearing. Can't be the fort we're not far enough for that.

11:37I know. I can't. Shop vans and Albertsons for fresh savings every time you shop.

I find it difficult to recall my thoughts on that sultry new

14:05night on the island of Haiti when we were attempting a surprise action against the Spanish fort. An 180-men, a good portion of the crew of his majesty's ship Rennon, fall on shore in the darkness. The Spanish fort only a few hundred yards away yet all might be lost. For in the darkness I had 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 semen Wulton to keep me company, my heart was pounding 60 to the dozen. Sir, yes Wulton, directly ahead of us. It's pure sin tree. If you blunt us out, it's our sir. I dear Wulton, no panic if you please. Oh, sir. Coming this way, sir. I cold steel remember, there must be no sound. Cold steel. How Wulton? Good lord sir. It's a cow.

15:06You know the colds killed you dear. I could have spored you. Yes, yes, yes. So good I know Wulton. Listen, I'll wait here. You go back to the column and have the men come forward and pass the word that they're cows about. If you and I almost took this month of the enemy there's no telling what nervous troops would try to fight out. 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 four-shorn blower? I think we have Wulton, Mr. Bush. Boss, we have reached it sir. There before us by heaven, so it is, or there, or... Spanish fort.

16:07Hornblower, come forward with me, I sir. There's not a light showing, nothing, no sir. The moon's beginning to rise. But lighter than it was, Simon is a girl. Yes, it is. Close enough. The walls look like common hide from here. That's not too high for grapple sir. There's nobody like sailors who's warming up a lever. Isn't that, isn't that a salient port, yonder? A salient port? Well, directly ahead, sir. A bit to the right. The door must be wooden, sir. A good strong ax man might be able to cut through it. You're referring to Bush's made super-ups. 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 verse is, 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 salient port. Take silk with you. Yes, sir. Well, moon rising. To the dawn soon. For long, all blood.

17:20Now, Marines, you understand your instructions. I have heard. Lieutenant Bush has taken the rest over to the left wall. His men are deployed with grapples and cutlerces. Silk. I sir, right here, sir. Marked out your target, sir. I got it fixed and proper, sir. Good. And this year, ax is a sharp as a man could move. Don't you fret, sir. I'll bash that salient port door in like it was cheese and me hungry rant. I can't hang on it, silk. Alton. Yes, sir. Let me remind you, cold steel, no shooting until we're well inside. Yes, sir. Well enough. Order fixed, sir. Reims. Fixed, sir. Silk, stay beside me. Bye, you, sir. Very well. I believe we can now move forward. Here we are. Silk. Silk. Stand aside.

18:26Turn over. Must be gruffling with the walls by now, sir. Yes, Walton. Spaniards are coming to life. Keep at it, silk. Are these air? Separate force should do it. One more, sir. If someone could reach through and live off the bolts, or the side silk, I've got it. Follow me, rat. Follow me, rat.

19:26I'm going to be late, sir. Hornblur! It's her, Hornblur! Coming, sir. Hi, Lieutenant Bush. What's up on your arm, Hornblur? Blood? Oh, if it is, it's not mine. You weren't harmed. I believe so, sir. There are three dead among armor reams. And the dozen casualties. I've established a station for the wounded over near the Sally Porrow. Have you known? Good idea. You can concentrate all the wounded there. Oh, don's fought quite well, isn't there? Yes, sir. Sir, hi, I beg one. 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, one standing till. There is, sir. Hi. There's no well inside the walls. Well. Right, sir, there is. Hope it hasn't been poisoned. I'll never forgive myself. See that, also, Wolton. Oh, I was wrong. This way, Hornblur. It's turned on. I'd time to make signals to the renowned. Yes, sir. Sir! Yes, sir. I see you have our colors. It's nothing now.

20:26Bring down the Spanish flag. Oh, yes, sir. Once this business is over, I'll be grateful for sleep. So, over the line. And water, also. Yes, water, also. 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. Of course, the only thing you did for this, I should have remembered. Should have! 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, now they did Captain Buckland. Your plan and your details. It was you. Remember the grapples. It was you. Devised how we should divide out. It was you who had the sense enough to put guards on the prisoners. Remember the powders and the spirits. You. Really think that? Would I say it otherwise?

21:26Well, 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 ensign, please. You're at the serve. Hornblur. Yes, sir? Here. What, sir? Yeah. Take it. Take it, man. 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. I... Yes, sir. Huh? Looks good in the sunlight, don't you, sir. That's it, sir. By a matchy doesn't need it.
