Horatio Hornblower - Spain Becomes Neutral

One broadside in order to please get in bush.

Point is on target.

Fire!

Presenting Michael Redgrave as C.S. Barters in Dominable Man of the Sea, Horatio Hornbloy.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Even as an 18-year-old midshipman, I'd often heard the word blood first in this of course.

I'd read of the blind hatred that was said to seize on fighting men in crisis.

But well, I don't suppose I'd really quite believe in it.

There's other than miles young man, I think, country bread and up long at sea.

So it was something of a sort to me to find that I could have this feeling too,

at least on one occasion long ago.

The story of this unexpected piece of self-discovery began quietly enough,

just off the coast of Spain less than a hundred miles from our own, which is portable to port.

Mr. Ross, call up side boys and marine guard.

Honours to a captain who's an ally.

And first the word to captain Peru.

You probably want to be at the gangway.

Mr. Hornbloy, make the Spanish captain welcome.

That's a speak French.

Ask him to come below for a class of wine.

Captain Peru, sir, I've only got school friends.

No, I know, but I can already read the stuff, some of it.

Well, I'll try, sir.

Mr. Captain, would you like to send the captain to our captain?

He'll tell you that you live in the village.

Hey, Mr. Hornbloy, sir.

I'll tell you that he'll tell you later.

So let's go.

Immediately.

Thank you.

He says, sir, he prefers you read the contents of this envelope once, without delay.

Very good.

Well, now.

Oh, it's in French.

You read it, Hornbloy.

Yes, sir.

Well, it's mostly a compliment for this, by his excellency.

The Duke of Belquitte, to the most gallant ship captains,

would tell you, not at the bar, and so on.

But...

Well, sir, we'll...

No, but it seems to be that Spain is now neutral.

How long could it go with France?

That's it, yes. Must enforce her right.

It says, sir, that...

We have been at the air here 24 hours.

Hornbloy, if we...

And you're leaving us at the lunch, as he knows, we beat his ally.

Our fate for a friend.

Go on.

Yes, sir.

Six hours from now, sir, if...

We are still within range of the shore batteries.

They will have orders to fire on us.

Well, go all of it. I don't mind you. Hornbloy.

Huh?

You'll tell this fellow.

No, never mind.

I must let him see he's made me angry.

Mr. Hornbloy.

Sir, tell Mr. Chet to see him over the side with all the others.

Side boys, hostel pipes, drummers.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

Little muster.

Then I'll go below and do my swearing.

Tell Mr. Echoes, I want to be on the way within the hour.

Yes, sir.

Colonel impudence.

It was...

Well, it was almost funny.

I poured out complimentary farewells to the bed to my ability.

And while I was doing it, the two captains

stiffly exchanged boughs of every phrase,

hats across drummers concerned.

But Captain Beliu was as good as his word or even better.

The cable was hope short in less than an hour,

and as we slowly got underway,

I stood in the waist with Mr. Wales, our carpenter.

Looking across at the distant white town,

which would soon fade.

Two long sharp cows had emerged from the inner bay

and were pointing towards the end of that book.

They were a sort of ship I'd never seen in my whole life.

At least, outside my history books and schools.

I'm Mr. Wales, what are they?

Gary is Mr. Ornblower.

Gary is?

But like ancient Roman phyriums, is that it?

That's it.

A man by a flame.

Straight south of the ancient world,

and yet here, beside modern cross, like ours.

Oh, this is something to see, all right?

How many does Spanish have in commission?

Couldn't help Harry give it to Ornblower.

A dozen, I would say.

Four men to the Oral and fifty Orals.

That means 200 galleys ladies per ship.

Oh, now I'll ask salute.

I see we're getting it.

They're applying.

I thought it's good news.

Yes, a bit ironic.

Please shut the desolute.

Ornblower, I will wait here.

The next time we hear those guns from shore,

they'll be firing the real thing.

Lieutenant Ross was quite right in there, probably.

The tide of war was turning against England.

Nation after Nation was retiring from the contest against the tyrant Bonaparte.

And in the weeks that followed,

it looked as if we would soon stand almost alone against the world.

I do not like the look of it, Mr. Chad.

Don't like it?

One little bit.

The current is quite strong, sir.

And what pain prevailing winds that are out of blowing in the same direction.

An odd grain slip.

Fond it all.

I give my half a two hours of a southerly wind just now.

That's all we need to walk us up to the mow.

Well, what did it miss a long door?

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees.

But I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me.

Who cares?

Big retailers and making record profits.

That's why we support the Durban Marshall credit card bill.

See?

Banks and credit unions help small businesses make payroll.

Miss Bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing Megastore profits.

They deserve it.

Don't they?

Maskhead Locals has reported.

Vessels are approaching far off on the port beam.

Vessel has asked for instructions.

Port beam?

Give me that dust, Mr. Chad.

Yes, I think I can barely detect.

Take the dust, Mr. Chad.

Horizon is extremely hazy, but tell me if I see no right.

And let's find very much mistaken.

It's our friends from Cadiz.

Oh, Cadiz, sir.

I don't quite follow.

The galleys, man. The Spanish galleys.

Look carefully now.

Can't you make out the rise and fall of those damnable arms?

Yes, sir.

By heaven, that's exactly what they are.

The galleys.

And sir, they're heading straight for us, or I have a blind man.

Quick now.

I want you on the court to take Mr. Chad.

We'll arm the men.

Red is a long boat.

Cut.

Our call has the court immediately, sir.

Apparently, the galleys' intention was to fall upon the merchant ship,

lying farthest behind in the convoy.

Three grand ships lay within half a mile of us, and might be covered by our gunfire.

But the others could expect no such protection.

And a pair of galleys sped toward these, looking like ghosts.

Sinister ghosts have long dead cruel fears and injustices.

Hi.

Hello.

Welcome, gentlemen.

Mr. Chad, hi, sir.

Mr. Jones will come out of the cutter.

Mr. Mason, the long boat.

I want six barter cut and eight lard is of both boats.

Oh, I'm drafting eyes, of course.

Yes, sir.

They're already equipped.

Mr. Honger, sir.

You at a check.

All personal arms.

But make sure each hand has pistol and cufflessness.

He goes over time.

Oh, I thought to have some jolly boats.

Going to, sir.

That's my special shot.

You're jolly boat.

A tack one of those war galleys, Honger.

A twill puttin' a show with a crew of six.

Don't they be large?

Oh, sir.

We could just pull to one of the grain, convoys, sir.

And we enforce that crew against a tack.

Well, yes.

Possibly, a captain's a loser.

What do you think of the young man's proposal?

He says he and his crew might be required by one of the convoys.

Jackson.

So bring our other men.

Be quick.

I have.

All right.

All right, Mr. Honger.

What are you about to spend?

Make for any one of our ships that they need help.

I put your men aboard her.

But I don't waste any more time with talk of jolly boats in action.

Yes, thank you, sir.

Jackson.

Under her.

All six of us is ready, Mr. Honger.

And we're only up at the Davi Tinia.

Good.

Just a little bit, sir.

I, sir.

And swing out the jolly boat.

You're 18 to attack them.

Do you worship theirself?

Oh, man.

Well, we, we, we, just might want.

Jackson, if that is the chance, came.

Are you willing?

And the others too.

Willing, I always to have a pregnant and mistook.

So is all six of us.

Don't worry.

Don't worry about it.

Good, good.

And we'll, but we'll see.

It's quite true, as Jackson said, every man of the six in my crew was glaring in hostility

at the two war gallows as we pulled away from the indefatigable.

That's for myself.

Had never in my life felt the sudden, violent, personal hate that shook me now.

Along both in the cutter, both much larger than our little craft, had a good start on us and made far ahead with.

We lagged behind them.

I found myself clutching the tiller and leaning forward in my eagerness to be equipped somehow with this weird enemy.

Just you look at them galleys or blades fly.

The way they come sweeping down is something.

The rice of their depth.

There are the be time there to board a grain ship if you would be too.

I think you're right.

I'm going to pull the tiller over.

We'll follow the cutter.

For better or for worse.

Sir!

Well, Hunter?

I can see Mr. Stars in the cutter.

Give it all to us, sir.

She's budgeted as six pounder of the gallows.

She doing the fire?

I wonder.

This much too great a range for that six pounder of popcorn and bread.

I'm glad to see she's ready.

Sir!

Look there.

What is it?

There's the other galleys.

Biggest life.

Driving right in between then two merchant ships.

But now a cutter's in there that he par.

Pull, man.

Pull!

We've got to get out there and help.

Pull, real eyes!

I tell you, pull!

We're gaining on the cutter, Mr. Ohmdar.

She's fired.

They haven't fired.

They're straight up the galleys bar.

Listen, they're good.

It's just splinter, see?

They still look good for the cutter, sir.

There was always a quickening on the galleys.

Galleys coming on the rammer.

It's like the creeps of the psalamis or something like that.

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Phew!

That was close.

We just missed our own cutter, sir.

And now we have past issue.

We've turned about and she's going around the cutter.

Why are they only there?

They've seen the cutter right in two.

And Mr. Ohmdar was standing up in the stern,

each when she struck.

Yes.

I can't even see him, now.

It was a chilling sight.

One moment before, a lieutenant's film was looking straight

at the death which cleaved towards him through the blue water.

And now, no trace of him or half his men.

A few men clung to the severed cutter's stern parts.

But as the Spanish galleys starboarded or swept by us,

just clearing us and our own wars,

she wrote them down relentlessly and passed over their bobbing heads.

Give way forth!

Give way!

Use your cutter, little Jackson. Use it now.

We're going aboard that devil ship.

Jackson yelled an oath in reply and hurled our grappling hook on its long line.

It caught in the flooded guilt rail of the galleys quarter,

just before he swept out of our reach.

I was wild at rage and horror now.

Somehow we must avenge that cutter's crew.

Our own men have been slaughtered by this ghost out of the past.

I already loathe for our brutal slave,

but the cutter's fatal with the last storm.

I can't hold it, sir.

You feel that pull?

Blinds cut my ends off.

I'll take a turn on the cleat. Don't be a fool.

We've got it all under, Jackson.

She's passed down the cleat,

while swearsed like we'd harpoon the whale, ain't it, sir?

Look, like this is it? They've seen us.

There's a Spanish running out on her blue.

He cut a knife to cut our lives.

Well then, shoot him, hunter.

Good shot under!

He fell right out of sight below the rail.

Look, man, the odds are heavy against this,

but we've got a good chance to climb aboard.

Are you for it?

We'll only step high.

Good last.

All right, pull up them there.

You, Davis, you cross and give Jackson a hand of the line.

Pull us up in the closer to our stern.

They were as fighting mad as I.

All of us shouting at each other, shaking with fury and excitement.

It was them that that word I'd read came back to me.

Flared in my mind like fire.

Blood first to this.

Well, finally I knew what that word meant.

I was insane with it.

Them four or five sordid faces appeared above the galley's gilded stern,

and muskets pointed down into the jolly boat.

I'll test those eyes and fire.

James Stanley hates you when you're out of sight right quickly, sir.

Carson's near conscious.

Reload.

Watch out, Mr. Horngoer.

So much push the muskets down through the window

and they're off to cabin up there.

You got a knife, I'm sure.

I'm heading for that broken cabin window in the stern.

Now, bring them in off for me one at a time.

I flung myself at the gravitational line.

My legs grazed the water as the line sagged,

but my arms finally carried me upwards.

I swung up my feet.

Kicked out what remained of the shattered window

and pulled myself through.

I came down on the cabin deck with a thud,

and peered about me in the dim cabin.

The Spaniard will dame through the window lay there dead.

I was alone.

What?

If it even jumps there, only me.

We all alone in here, sir.

Don't talk so loud.

Are the others coming, Jackson?

Hunter's next.

They'll all be here, sir.

They'll step Carson.

Good, all.

We can't wait for them now.

But, sir, here they come out and have a battle.

Look, now, speed's the important thing, Jackson.

Now, come along.

Here's the cabin door.

Find the officers first, Jackson.

Got your cutlass ready?

Aye, aye, sir.

Look.

There's two big guns up for it, yes.

And three or four men on the boat, sir.

Yes, but there'll be more on the poop just above us.

And you need it.

And we need it.

And we need it.

Put it back.

Put it back.

Put it back.

Put it back.

Put it back.

Put it back.

Here we come.

Do you think this is right?

I think so, sir.

But you don't like it?

See?

Right.

You think it's right.

I don't like it.

Mark can come.

Let's go inside.

Please help him!

Go!

Hello.

Oh wow, John, why do you want to hear that?

He's dead.

Why?

Help him.

Aren't you staring at me?

A man who could have died.

I'm very sorry that, but, well, by in a bit, and sweet,

well, we didn't follow instructions. You see, sir, but the admiral will be pleased.

All the same, Mr. Armdard. And now that we've lost poor Mr. Somes in that accident

or the cutter, I rather think you should need another watchkeeping officer.

I have it in mind to give you an order as acting lieutenant, young man.

Acting lieutenant, sir. Sir, I just lost my head, I think.

I bought it a gallon, a kind of fit of, oh, I don't know, insanity, perhaps.

It might be well if more young officers lost their heads in that way than, but, said it.

I mean, I had it. I wouldn't like to make false pretenses, sir.

And now I'm on it for enough.

All right. I'm almost the same to that blind rage, now, sir. I must be honest, I am.

Never question the lucky things that happened to you, Mr. Hornblower.

You'll learn more moderation in good time, unfortunately.

Oh, thank you, sir.
