36xxxx 039 Everyone Arrives

At last the Gregory rescue boat has arrived at the Magic Island. Towed in by Euclidean submarine, Johnson's boat has been left to shift for itself just outside the Pier 5 lock, and is now being taken alongside Mrs. Gregory's yacht, noiselessly pulled through the water by the underwater magnets.

Jerry and Joan are in the submarine which brought Johnson's boat in, and are eagerly awaiting the chance to return to the yacht as soon as the submarine is safely in its underwater lock. On the deck of Mrs. Gregory's yacht, Captain Bradford, the skipper, and Mrs. Gregory, stand ready to take a line from Johnson's boat and make it fast to the yacht.

Now you just stand over there with a poor rail pat. Keep your eye on the island for old G-47. You'll come running over here to grab Johnson the minute we get his boat tied up.

I'd like a few words with Johnson before that happens if I can manage it. I'll watch the island text. I can see the whole pier from here. But I don't want to be too far off to meet Johnson when he steps over the rail.

It's my boat, you know, dear, and Johnson's been pretty wonderful through all of this. Yes, you're right, Pat. I'll stand here if you like. We'll keep a sharp eye along the pier. I'll warn you of G47 comes down.

Ah, Skipper. Aye. You'd better come here with me and take Johnson's turn line. Hanson can handle that bow alone, but the wreckage of that mast left nothing here to make fast to. So we'll have to straw him on the line here.

Aye. We'll take your stern line here, Johnson. Look, Lively. Here it comes, then. Tex, that's McLeod. What will G47 say about this? He doesn't know Johnson. If we have to, we'll introduce G47 and McLeod and tell him Mac is Johnson.
