Transcript

Speak to quarters, say this to Albert Baja. One broad side into it, you please, Captain Bush. Point of them, target. Prince Tops, really? I'm Michael Redgrave, as she has barristers in Domino Man of the Sea, a ratio horn blower.

And yet, how much a man can approve of it even? Well, only several months ago, I'd been a country squire,

so a ratio horn blower, in residence with my lovely wife, Lady Barbara. wearing fashionable clothes, sitting down meets meal time to choice foods. And yet, when my conscience troubles me in saying it, I'd left it all with no trace of regret.

And once aboard the Nunsuch, a Commodore now, in command of a squadron of six vessels, I felt really alive. Not until Brown, my orderly, reminded me that evening of Born Home, did I realize I hadn't so much as touched the delicacies that Lady Barbara had so thought.

Barbara had so awfully provided when we sailed. There's cheese, sir, and there's wine, and there's buttering crocs. A lady ship made a special point that the butter would turn rancy, unless it was used, sir.

My time to supper with everyone, for Bell, sir, and Captain Busch is dining with you as usual. I should think a bit of cheese instead of ship's biscuit and salt beef will be a welcome change.

There's nothing wrong with biscuits and beef, Grant. Good native herb of them. Oh, yes, sir, but, uh, picking your pardon, sir, I... I'll sing them from the raven, sir. The Reden, what is it? She cited a Swedish vessel of ones to speak at the Commodore.

I see, must have someone of importance aboard. Right, I'll come on deck. Ask Captain Bush if he'll be kind enough to join me. Aye, aye, sir. Sir, what, Brown? Oh, what we should have for supper. Oh, shoot yourself, Brownce.
