Call all hands, beat the quarters.

Hello, everybody. Stand by, let's tell the better.

One broadside inventory to please, Captain Bush. Point is on target.

Things toughs ready. Eyes on ready. Fire!

Presenting Michael Redgrave at C.S. Faresters in Dominable Man of the Sea, Horatio Hornblore.

They say that as a man gets older, he grows complacent. There may be some truth in that,

but when I look back on the days when I was young, I recognize myself as an impetuous and

carefully young fellow. Often impetuous, not always carefully. Especially when I found that

Captain Sawyer, master of the ship on which I served, was no less than a madman. Mr. Hornblore sir,

Mr. Hornblore, what am I to do? Do you know about what well done?

I keep getting punished, Mr. Hornblore. I can beat in three times already.

There's no need to whisper. Sir, above this ship, everybody whisper as no need to now.

But on the lowered rail, the wind carries every word out over the water.

Yes, the water, what am I to do? I keep looking at it, sir. The water looks so peaceful,

so quiet, and it would feel so good, sir. My skin burns from the marks of the can, and I keep

thinking if I was in the water, how cool and good it would feel and well out.

What was that as you meant to talk like this? I'm sorry, sir. Well, ever since our Sunday,

I keep dreaming, dreaming about death, sir. I dream about the captain reading the articles of

war, and well out, every time he comes to the word death, I see myself dead. Sir, I'd assume

be dead. There'll be a full well out. If anything, there was something could be done, or perhaps there

is. Listen, our group of us are going to talk to Mr. Clive for searching. You don't breathe a word

about this. But if he will certify the captain insane, we can remove him from his command.

If he can, he won't tell certify him. We shall see. But the doctrine, or anybody else, they

won't dare. Meantime, I dream. Sir, I did come. Why? The captain just come on deck. Oh, so he has.

Yes, Mr. Wellard, see that that tackle is seen toward once. The tackle? Oh, yes, sir.

Get off the ship's carpenter, and if the lines jam again next time we have a heavy blow,

we may lose a good deal of canvas. Aye, sir.

Ah, Mr. Hornblower. Good morning, sir. Good morning, sir. You'll even try to disemble before

me, Mr. Hornblower. I have eyes. I know when I'm being conspired against. Well, answer me.

I, I know of no conspiracies, sir. Where's my acting, gunner? Mr. Hornblower. Mr. Hornblower.

Yes, captain, sir. No, that's good and prompt, Mr. Hornblower. One hail and you're at hand.

I'm glad to see that there are at least a few upon whose loyalty I can count. Mr. Hornblower,

you have your Latin cane. My cane? Right here it is, sir. Right, well, hold it out,

so Mr. Hornblower can see it. Do you see it, Mr. Hornblower?

Hops, make it whistle, I, sir.

I see it, sir. Yes, and I warn you, you may feel it.

Just as Mr. Willard has, you may feed it. I'll have loyalty aboard this ship, you understand?

Loyalty, nothing less.

So the days dragged on. The captain ever more suspicious and dangerous. The crew,

Sullen and Slack, because of every opportunity captain Sawyer would play them against his officers.

I guess for the officers themselves.

Doctor, fly. It's been difficult enough, all of us, contriving to talk to you this way.

You're the only one who can lend a hand.

Well, now, Lieutenant Bush, it's true enough I'm the surgeon, but still he's unfit to command, Mr. Clive.

Unfit. I can't really say, Mr. Buckland, you know he is. Your first lieutenant aboard the renown, Mr. Buckland.

Next in command, the captain Sawyer. If I certify him unfit to command, it'll put you in charge.

I know that. Are you willing for me to take that responsibility?

Well, I am. I'd have to make out of a body in writing, wouldn't I?

Yes, you would. Well, of course he would, Clive. So would you and all the rest of us.

Now, Honblad, now Bush, now why not talk about it frankly? We all face the same problem.

All of us would have to face a court of inquiry as soon as ever we made port.

That's the devil of it, Honblad.

Gentlemen, may I suggest we discontinue this discussion at once?

But both the ship, there's no telling who may be spying on it.

The wake boiled behind us on the wind-stayed fare for the West Indies. We held no more discussions.

In a way it seemed that each one of us was so afraid for himself that he couldn't risk being

seen with someone else who might be suspect.

Then came one particular afternoon. Answer me about the ammunition locker, sir.

Its lock was broken. You did it some damage, didn't you?

And going off watch, you stopped to make certain it had not yet been noticed.

I did not stop. You were seen. But, sir. You were seen by Mr. Hobbs.

This good loyal man Hobbs. He says, but, ah, you cannot speak, eh?

I swear to you, I didn't know damage to any lock. I swear I went directly below.

I never went near the part of Zip Recruiter. So, expect me to believe you over.

Sir, may I say one word? You, Mr. Hohenblur. Mr. Willard never went down to the gun dexter.

Be very careful, Mr. Hohenblur. True, sir. He went down this way by way of the stern companionway.

The tenant bush and I were coming up for our watch when we bush.

The tenant Hohenblur's right, sir. So, you too define me as well, eh?

It is no define. Sorry, sir.

Silence, Mr. Bush.

Willard claims innocence and straight way you support him. Be careful.

Be very careful, sir. There are two of us. As witnesses and Hobbs must be mistaken.

Mistaken?

Where you mistaken Hobbs?

Why should I lie?

Ah, exactly. You've no reason at all. Your loyal, it's these others.

Willard and Sir.

Silence, Mr. Willard. You and these officers.

Officers, always whispering, always talking. Left, tenant bush, confess it.

You, Lieutenant Hohenblur. You did not see Willard. Did you?

You cover up for him. Confess it.

Sir, I did see it. And I also said...

Silence!

Oh, Tard with the same brush.

I'm not a fool.

Mr. Hohenblur is already on watch and watch.

By both of you shall now report to Mr. Buckland at two bells, four bells and six bells.

Yes, you two, Mr. Bush.

Two bells, four bells.

That means every hour, every hour, day and night.

Now, as for you, young Mr. Willard, perhaps a few more strokes of the cane will teach you manhood.

You shall kiss the gunner's daughter, Mr. Willard.

And I shall watch it.

To kiss the gunner's daughters, to be tied face down wood over the muzzle of a gun,

and to be whipped.

Willard made no sound, but to the rest of us in the wardroom,

the whistle of the whip came cold and clear.

So, Lieutenant Buckland, we've got to do something.

And, by the captain, awakened every hour to stand watch and watch.

Oh, well, at a bit matter of day.

Awakened every hour on the clock, we'll die ourselves.

He's a madman, Lieutenant Buckland, we've got to do something.

Clive's got to declare a month here.

Clive won't.

He won't learn something, something.

A meeting, Mr. Buckland, in the middle of the night.

A man can die of exhaustion before we make landfall.

All of the whip like that put.

Well, Mr. Willard, enough?

Mr. Willard!

What time?

He's our one time.

Well, he's alive at any rate.

Well, Lieutenant?

Yes.

Perhaps we'd best hold on.

I am meeting a secret meeting.

And the Lord protect us all.

The Lord protect us all.

Often, now, in my later years,

grown old and gray-haired,

implanted many honors for my time of service for his majesty.

Often, I think, how my career came within a hair's breath of being cut off

while I was with Lieutenant aboard the Lunar.

I'm waking up at night in the dark.

I often think of myself as I was then in the middle of the night.

In pitch darkness.

At a secret meeting, far below deck.

Lieutenant Buckland, who's that speaking porn person, I guess.

Well, so, whatever we do, we'll have to do it quickly and sharp.

You mean put him in ions?

Whatever we did, he'd call on the hands, and they might follow it,

made follow him right enough.

Hasn't he been toeding up to them?

Double run, every chance he got,

rope-y on Sundays?

I tell you, in ions, all right, we'll have our hands full,

telling them into a disciplined crew again.

That's right.

Well, that's enough.

We'll get nowhere talking about what's gone by.

What's to come is our problem.

So I say put him in ions quick.

Quiet, not quiet.

In ions and what then?

What's that?

It's not rats.

Mr. Buck, Mr. Hornblur.

Well, odd.

Where did you come from?

Captain Sir.

The captain's wick.

He's on his way down here.

Well, odd, which way?

Which way, Mr. Hornblur?

The captain, which way is he coming?

I think by the stearage hatchery.

You came down ahead of him?

Yes, sir.

What's to be done, Hornblur?

For the love of heaven.

There's another way out of here.

Followed in the cockpit up to the cable tier.

Get followed, all of you.

Hornblur is right.

Followed the cable tier.

Bush, you stay here.

What is it, Hornblur?

Something in mind?

I don't know, but someone should keep an eye on the captain.

If you and I, and Wellard move quietly enough,

we can go up the stearage hatchery

before the captain reaches here.

And then we can stick to the shadows.

Let him make his way down here.

And once he's down here, we're safe enough.

And we'll be in a good position to help the others.

If necessary, we can create some diversion.

Yes, yes, good.

We'd best move quickly, though.

Well, odd, we...

Well, odd.

Bush, where is Wellard?

Wellard was gone.

He'd slept away on the darkness.

That was inside of him.

And suddenly, I remembered Wellard's white face

after he'd been whipped.

I remembered his face and how he spoke about the captain.

Bush, where is he?

What, at least there's a bit of light.

He was becoming through the hatchway.

What's that?

Came from directly ahead of us below the hatchway.

It's a body.

Captain Sawyer.

The next several hours were busy ones.

Dr. Clive was cold and he pronounced Captain Sawyer dead.

The body was brought up and prepared for burial in the morning.

Lieutenant Buckland, a senior officer commanding,

became acting captain.

And on the quarter deck, by the light of the southern moon,

I took part in a small disciplinary action.

It involved Wellard and the captain's toadier, Hobbs.

It's not my place to remind you, sir.

But didn't the captain give you orders?

Orders?

Aye.

To arouse Mr. Buckland every watch.

Two bells, four bells, six bells.

Hobbs, you're insolent.

Aye, sir.

The captain is dead.

His orders have been commanded by Lieutenant Buckland.

Then particular that order.

And get followed Hobbs.

No more nonsense from him.

I will, sir.

I was only stopping to ask Mr. Wellard a question.

Oh, what question?

About how the captain died, sir.

What do you mean?

Well, sir, you see it was me, Ralph's captain,

soyer in the first place.

I'd heard something down in the hope.

Don't go on.

Well, I told him so.

He got dressed and gave me orders to call out the Marines.

And I never got the chance.

Go on, that's all, sir.

Only I was wondering.

It's most curious the captain should trip and fall to his death.

Now I did just trip all by himself and fall.

What I was about to ask Mr. Wellard was where he might have been when it happened.

I was wellard.

There's no need to answer that.

He's in there.

No, Hobbs.

Statements will be taken in the morning, not now.

Go for it, Hobbs.

That's an order.

Aye, aye, sir.

Hobbs?

Oh, come on.

Give me that answer again and this time properly.

Aye, aye, sir.

Now you may get followed.

Mr. Hornda, I, I, I, I guess what is it, Wellard?

My watch will be over in an hour, sir.

May I come down and speak with a minute?

Very important, sir.

Wellard, you, you look tired to death.

Why don't you get some sleep there?

Mr. Hornda, I killed the captain.

Now Wellard, I did.

Ah, I was at the staring hatch way.

I caught very hit at you and the others.

The time's a ladder.

I was on, on the deck above in the shadows.

Yes, but it was dark.

Then I saw the captain.

He came right past me and leaned over.

You can't done, sort of.

I, wellard now listen, I came up behind him, sir.

He was there.

I was right behind him, right, right behind him.

I didn't know what it was.

Listen, I'll do better not tell him.

Pull this up together.

Get your hammer, Wellard.

Wellard, get your hammer.

You're tired, you know.

You need some sleep.

We'll talk about it in the morning.

Tired, yes.

Quite tired, but Mr. Hornda, I don't think I should live a sleep again.

How dare you!

A slept silently and in the morning I came on deck almost to fresh.

The sea was sparkling blue and green,

and the fair breeze filled the sails.

That joined the cannon bush at the weather rail,

with a greeting that came near to sounding cheerful.

The morning is to bush, morning, or blur.

Ah!

It smells fresh, eh?

Ah, that it does.

Fresh and free.

Bush, I...

I can't help feeling sorry for Captain Sawyer.

Sorry?

Well, yes, I suppose, sir.

Yes, the funeral service at six bells,

I suppose I shall play as hard for his soul as any man to socialize.

Mr. Bush.

Vomla.

Yes, sir.

Lieutenant Bucklander, I mean Captain, eh...

What is it, sir?

Gentlemen, we have lost Jung Wellard.

What?

Our Master at Arms reported to be at eight bells.

There's been no sign of Jung Wellard.

His court has went stepped in last night.

According to the lookout during a dog watch,

he recalls a certain heavy splash during his turn aloft.

He thought it was a popus.

You mean...

It was Wellard.

It must have been.

The sea was running heavy.

It must have been at the rail and not his footing.

I shall report that he fell overboard.

Um...

What is it, Honla?

You're about to speak.

Ah...

No, sir.

I haven't rested so.

Hey, man, do that.

The funeral service for Captain Soyer at Six Bells, gentlemen.

We shall say our prayer also for Jung Mr. Wellard.

But in my heart, I repeated over and over a prayer that

Wellard had found not only peace and quiet,

but also mercy.
