Transcript

Speak to quarters. Turvert better. One broad side into it, you please, Captain Bush. Point yourself on target. Then stop, ready? Presenting Michael Redgrave as she as foresters in Dominoable Man of the Sea, or Rachior Horneblois.

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 fella.

Often impetuous, not always care for you. Especially when I found that Captain Sawyer, mastered of the ship on which I served, was no less than a madman. Told her what am I to do? Do? Told her what, well, huh?

I keep getting punished, it's told her. I've been beaten three times already. There's no need to whisper. I've set aboard this ship, everybody. Whispecial has no need to now. But on the Lord Rail, the wind carries every word out over the water.

Yes. The water. What do you mean? I keep looking at it, sir. The water looks so peaceful, so quiet. And it could feel so good, sir. My skin burns from the marks of the canan.

I keep thinking, if I was in the water, how cool and good it could feel. Well, I... What possessions you're meant to talk like this? I'm sorry, sir. Well, ever since last Sunday, I keep dreaming.

Dreaming. I dream about the captain reading the articles of war on... Well, uh... Every time he comes to the word death... I... I seem myself dead. Sir, I'd assume he did. There'll be a fool wellard.

If 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.
