One broadside in for it, please, Captain Bush. Point at some target. This top's ready. Eyes are ready. Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! There's a Michael Redgrave at CS Foresters in dominant land of the sea, Horatio Hornblower.
Fire! Fire!
Sitting here in England, playing the country's choir, getting soft and retirement, does at least serve to keep my memory sharp. I retain a very clear picture in my mind of the events which followed the suppression of the mutiny of the flame. I was tired, I was much to do many decisions to be taken. Certainly I felt little enough like granting an interview with a prisoner, and yet the seamen who bore Captain Freeman's message was awaiting my answer. Oh, very well. Now, the Captain Freeman takes the advice fully concerned this fellow interview. What's his name again? The little bronze. He seems to be getting near the blue hogs. Get the little man, is he? Let's see what he has to say. I've got him outside now, sir. Bring him in. Come on, I'll see him now. Ah, sir, what have we got to say to him? I take it this year that I may speak entirely in confidence.
I promise nothing. I have represent large commercial interests which have great influence on the prosperity of the art. A firm which was prepared for the month of peace, with full warehouses, ethnic millions, millions. So, I'm a busy man, come to the point. His majesty of great Britain might do well to allow his friends to make those preparations in advance. Mr. Lebron, I'd like to get in thought to what you're saying. Their words would take you to the guilty in a bonapart ever heard of them. You're offering to betray the empire for commercial advantages. There are many in front of who have no faith in the empire. Very well. You may tell me the nature of your offer, but remember that I can make no promises on behalf of my government. I will. Suppose, for instance, that the city of Laf declared itself against the empire and for Louis XVIII. Well, it might be the example for which the empire is waiting. And if Laf declared for the king, the city would be in alliance with the great Britain and their license,
but then they granted for my firm to import. I know that the city authorities were declared for the king. I cannot assure you of the support of the mayor of Mr. Lebron. Most of the other authorities would be saved too. As to the others, a dozen well-timed arrests and a deal for the troops in the barracks, the arrival of your forces are happening for coordination to the people, the declaration of a state of siege and all would be over. Mr. Lebron, I've been very patient, but so far you've made no definite proposal. Here, if you have one, make it. If not, allow me to proceed with my own duties. A very well-done. Here is my proposal. Set me on shore. As an excuse, you could send me to arrange the exchange of prisons. If I can assure Mr. Lebron of your support, I can complete the arrangements in three days. I mean while you stop, you're ending close in the vicinity with all the force you can master. The moment we secure the citadel, we shall send off a white flag.
When you see that, sir, you will enter the harbor and over all any resistance in return for this a license to emphot colonial produce and your word of honor that you will inform can do either people's eye, that you will inform who was responsible for the scheme. There, am I specific enough, sir? There, there. Pass the word to the escort to the English prisoner away. I don't you refuse. But sir, I'll give you my decision in an hour. Meanwhile, for appearance, the second is treated harshly. For the moment I have no more to say.
The Dick Worms, sir, the plane of singling, sir. 1851-10. That's a thunderstorms in sight, bearing no way. Good, must be the reinforcements. Find out who's in command. Sir, the signal's going up now, sir. I'll read it back, sir. It's non-such. 74, Captain Bushler. Bush by Abzexland. Of course, the little wood sent him if possible. He knows I can always rely on Bush. That was the signal, sir. Oh, sir, Camilla, 36, Captain Hard. Have on board 300 Marine. 300 Marine, that's wonderful, sir, with those and our own men and non-such. We should be able to march 500 men into the hall if the opportunity arises. Flag the center, make the signal. Common order, all vessels. Join me here after dark. I shall. I shall transfer to the plane. Mr. Freeman, there'll be other work for you with the porter-chalien.
Kindly join me with Captain Bush and Hard when they arrive out to dark. The bruh must be completing his plans and we must strike tomorrow, if at all. High eyes, sir. How good it was, he pushed again as he heused in himself and his wooden leg onto the plane in the darkness. It was good to sit in the stuff a little cabin with Bush, Freeman and Hard. And outline my plans for the modern action was what I needed. And the prospect of it swept away all my doubts and fears. I knew there was no certainty that my government wanted to restore the board bonds if Bernhard Fell, that they might refuse to honor my promise of the import license, that they might refuse to recognize Louis XVIII. But I might be sharply reprimanded for all I'd done. But the time for hesitation was over now and the risk must be taken. I saw Bush studying the anxiously.
You've been very busy since you came to see against her. Too busy if you thought me. It was too soon for you to receive duty. Hansen's Porsche had nearly a year sickly, yes, sickly, after typists. I should say, Hansen's friend has worked cutting out action. A battle, three prizes taken, two vessels sunk. An invasion planned and now, on midnight council of war. Look here, are you gentlemen trying to tell me that I'm on plate for service? Well, no, sir, but I can. And then kind of keep your opinions to yourself. Well, you all understand what I want then tomorrow. If tomorrow is the day, no questions? No, sir, it's all right. Well, you must forget me if I was rude just now. Better try and day. Beat the courtism, clear the break for action. Help me that speaking, come back.
Thank you. What's the tale of high? Lame a high. I will clear for action. All ships clear safe. They'll keep stations as ordered. I say. I remember, Mr. Crawley, if I'm killed as we go in, the flame is to be laid alongside the team. Captain Bush has been informed as soon as possible, the flame is to go on. And now let's get those men moving. That's cold, little children, and none of this. Men? You with the guns and sheets? Let's see how you can jump. Come on, lively, now. Move your arms as well. Go on, take this. Go on. Go on, go on. Go on, go on. That's it. Right, right, still. I'll leave for ever. Fallen sir. Stand here, post.
Oh, I'm around, my pistol. Thank you. You can take that, we're not the best, Brian. Oh, I see. There will be another legend in the 90s, sir. But how you went into action with the men jumping. Remember the time, sir, when you had the men dancing the old pipe, as we went into action against the Naciliad ad. No desire to recall the past for the moment, Brian. You should all keep us busy enough. Mr. Kool-E, two hands at the lead. If you please, if one is killed, the other is to continue sounding. All right, but. On the other text. On the other text. Edgel sheets. Main soul sheets. Making three knots under four and a half sail, we stood in for the heart. Shadow in the fog, I could just make our port of trailer following our text. Behind her, but invisible to me, was the old non-such. I've not said eyes on her since the day I quit at her to catch the typhus in Vika. Good old bush.
It was comforting to happen with me again with this stony loyalty, but non-such is humbling broadside. And an anchored boy loomed on the starboard bulb, re-renearing the entrance to the heart. I listen to me, man. Now the shop is to be fired without my orders. A man who fires a gun no matter for what reason unless I tell him to. I love melee fog. I will hang. Well, some said today he'll be at the yard on.
You hear me? I'm too nervous as a chap or not. The Lebron is playing a double game only the play will be lost. The others will get cleared and head in the help of Brun in just city. Look, fair along that key as quick as you can now. Bye, sir. Where is that officer? Are you in command, yes, sir? What do you want? I'll tell you a man not to fire. Have you not received any orders? I'll get you an men away from those guns before there's an accident. Oh, God. She looked down there, bleached your ships at the key. Bleached my beans for the what am I to do? And the black ones. I'm going to get the gun. I'm going to get the gun. Bleached my beans for the what am I to do? And the messenger at once to the other battery to make sure the officer in command understands. But, Monsieur, I cannot die. I said that once, sir.
The moment was tense and uncertain. The young officer was clearly undecided. And then I had an inspiration. I've been speaking in French, of course. And now I heard the rhythmic trade of a section of Marines approaching. And I'd beckon them to mark past them. Have their approach, type 4 to them. Eyes on it. Men's heads turn smartly towards the French officer. The officer of Marines, salute it smartly. The courtesy of it completely took the wind out of the French themselves. As he gaped the Marines, we old left-run the battery, and threw the open cellar port in among the guns, pushing the gun as a side, knocking those smoldering minstocks from their hands. Let me out, job. I can manage it. That's all right to the other batteries. See that the other landing plot is deployed as arranged.
Open! Open in the name of the king! The king is a pretty servicer! You'll tell that Embassy of the Lower Days' Mosquito. Now, open the gate! Open the gate, I say. Do you expect my Marines to march through it? Ah, that's better. I'll come on my beauty and report. That'll be 34 pandas and all four can be told to our best. Then this is the heating shop. Never have storms as badly by order of methods. Palafits, five feet, quick and eight feet higher. Ten foot stitches. Sir, tap on, mister. I do not understand. Who are you in? Where did you see the king? Ah, are you the sub of the men's charge here? Yes, mister. Hi, I bring you great news. This is the beginning of the new age for France.
I'm Mr. Howard, you find a horse too. It is all well. As far as I know, sir. I thought I would not involve a landing bar in the netter streets of the town without orders. I have two midshipmen here, if you need messenger, sir. Oh, and your crux, your hacks, sir. I pick it up on the gate. Oh, thank you, man. The other defenses are all secured, Mr. Howard. And thanks to your boathons. Because if that chap can turn, there's at least succeeded in creating some confusion. One of these probes, you know, what to do. You can't give them time to think. Hello? Who comes here? A writer with a white hanker chip in his hand? You are a man this year, old little sir. Older, yes. When I come from this year, I'll let that all happen. Ah, the citadel is secure. I'll use the bastard to send it to the main square. Good. As we enter the town in gate possession, there's no status. Some curious or sullen, some indifferent,
but none actively hostile. And they've plastered a little to the view of their former bustle and life. Numerous men's at horses, and the catchments of Zondan, thrown up in line, given their respectability of the proceedings. But what's really courtly I was the multitude of white embers, white, everywhere. You said they're making sure we understand, and is it true, so? Look at all the little bit she's hanging out in the window. Even the police have got white on cage in their hats. They're not true scholars, right? White is the color of the bourbons, the king's of France. Oh, so this is the first time for 20 years that the bourbon white has shown on fence soil. Well, you come to that looking boat with a white satch. Oh, I've only had a fried color there yesterday. You look in the book, sort of, coats up, as expected of the mayor. That one, no matter what. Come on out. Oh. Oh, my gosh, well, I just met with it.
I'm afraid I will allow it to all the belower I embrace you. Come on out. The gentleman is a bit respected. And here is Mr. LeBron, I presume. Your servant, sir. Our plan has exceeded. Oh, the counter-order. This is a great moment, sir. A very great moment, Mr. LeBron. If you will be so good as to a company, I mean to say good, of the price of the several bodies of two begin. I shall proclaim allegiance to his Majesty. Mr. LeBron, sir. The city's end of the harbour. I, the Bourbon, I swear to you, if you consider declare that all true Frenchmen no longer serve and you, the power of the保 Jo. Mett it further all the way up. And seems to me. Fine. I'm not silenced, please. Ah, this way.
He isif, you will soon be binding... I shall blowing through your duty, the distribution of shops money. Have the safety now. I want an office and anotherièrement. Hey! Stop! The Burner Party's number only is 30 or 40 men and could have been dealt with by the police, but it was important in this early state that the town would be given a lead. The slightest hesitation or show of leniency might lose the town. As scattered before our charge, I reformed my men and marched them back to the square where
the mayor had once again taken up his stand beneath the flagstaff. The citizens of the Harabura have declared the whole troop rich men voluntarily recognized the unbroken reign of his most Christian Majesty, Louis XV, King of France and the whole. I'm not people who stand after me. As I think, Brian, it's time to adjust your own art, but... And... Are you here for the day? All together now? It's perfect! It's perfect! It's perfect! Here, Jacque, what blooming king are we all are in for? I don't know. All he says we got a chair, and if all he told me to chill out, boney yourself. I'd do it, see? A port of Lahabura was ours. Don't about it, Supperty's greatest defeat yet since Moscow.
It was perhaps only a foothold, but English speech held it. After all these years, all the blood in the heartache, the grounds seemed to shake beneath the pyrrhened bone of parts of India. The Horatio Honeblower, starring Michael Redgrave, is based on the novels by C. S. Farasberg. Music compers and conducted by Sydney Torch, produced by Harry Alan Tars. Music
