[male narrator] "Salty All at Sea."

Brendham Docks is usually a very busy place.

Salty and Porter are rushed off their wheels,

and Cranky'’s hook never stops swinging.

But sometimes it'’s not busy at all,

which gives Salty the chance to tell more of his stories.

[horn blares] Arr, matey.

It be quiet today.

Too quiet for my liking.

Ha-ha-har.

It was a day just like this

when the giant squid of Sodor first appeared. [laughs]

Oh, here we go again.

Huge he was, with eyes the size

of diesel wheels and legs...

-[whistle toots] -Oh!

Hello, Porter. Hi, Salty.

Ha! Ahoy there, Thomas.

I was just telling young Porter here

about the giant squid of Sodor.

Ah, Salty.

I have a very special assignment for you.

Oh? A special for me?

What'’s the job?

There'’s a dock yard on the mainland

that'’s very busy.

They'’re short of engines and need your help.

Aye-aye, captain!

I'’d be happy to join the crew.

Now, Vicarstown Bridge is being repaired,

so you'’ll have to travel to the mainland by sea.

[sputters] By sea?

You'’ll like that, Salty.

Arr, but... but there'’s...

Oh, there'’s so much to do here, captain.

[coughs]

It could get busy any second.

Well, I'’m sure Porter can cope.

Ah, yes, but...

[horn blares]

[sputtering]

Oof, stop that!

We'’re waiting for Edward to take us to Wellsworth.

Arr, see how busy I am?

Oh, har, busy, busy, busy. [chuckles]

Hmm. I'’m sorry, Salty, but it'’s already agreed.

It'’s much busier on the mainland than it is here.

[shudders]

Right, Cranky.

I understand this ship is heading to the mainland.

Get ready to haul Salty aboard.

With pleasure.

Uh, where is Salty?

Oh. Salty?

[shudders]

What'’s the game, Salty?

He looks scared. [laughs]

Oh, ow!

Quiet back there.

[train engine chugging]

I can'’t find him, sir.

Where'’s he got to?

Silly little diesel.

[whistle toots]

Hello, everyone.

Hey, where are my cars?

Not so fast, Salty! Slow down!

Where are you taking us?

[Salty] To Wellsworth, of course.

[narrator] Salty delivered the trucks to Wellsworth Station,

but he didn'’t want to go back to the docks.

Oh! I need to find another way to keep myself busy now.

[man] Where'’s our train to Knapford?

It'’s running extremely late.

A-ha!

[train engine chugging]

[whistle toots]

Sorry we'’re late, but...

Oh, there'’s nobody here.

Your passengers have gone, Thomas.

Gone? But where did they go?

[narrator] Salty was taking Thomas'’s passengers to Knapford

in an old coach he'’d found in the yard.

Thomas hurried to catch up.

[horn blares]

Salty, what are you doing here?

Shouldn'’t you be shunting cars at the docks?

Yeah, not carrying passengers.

Arr, well now... [chuckles]

It be a long story.

[whistle toots]

It'’ll have to wait.

[horn blares]

Have either of you seen Salty?

Oh, come on. Dear!

[whistle toots]

Salty! Stop!

[narrator] Salty didn'’t know what to do now,

but he knew he didn'’t want to go back to the docks.

[Thomas] Salty!

Salty?

Salty?

What are you doing hiding here?

Sir Topham Hatt chose you

for a special job on the mainland.

I thought you'’d be happy.

Arr, but it'’s the getting to the mainland

that'’s the problem.

But you must have been to sea before,

hundreds of times.

Ah, well, har-har.

Uh, yeah, you see, the thing is, I, uh...

I'’ve never been on a ship before.

[gasps] You'’ve never been on a ship?

No. There'’s diabolical dangers at sea, Thomas.

Giant squids!

Terrifying sea snakes!

Razor-toothed sea monsters!

[shudders]

Are you sure all those stories are true?

Oh, sure I'’m sure!

You hears all manner of terrifying tales

down at the docks, Thomas.

But didn'’t you make up some of those stories, Salty?

Well, I may have tinkered with the odd tale or two.

[chuckles] But that'’s half the fun of telling them!

Remember the time you scared us all

with that story you made up about the flatbeds of fear?

-[whistle toots] -Oh, arr, yes!

The flatbeds of fear!

And what about the monster of Brendham?

[Salty] Oh, har! I'’d forgotten that one.

Then there was the phantom brake van.

Arr, well, maybe I do let my imagination

run away with me at times.

And maybe your imagination is making you think

going to sea will be scary.

I'’m sure a little voyage to the mainland

can'’t be that bad, Salty.

[narrator] By the next morning,

Salty had made his way back to Brendham Docks

and let Cranky load him onto the ship.

[murmuring]

Well done, Salty!

Work hard on the mainland, and we'’ll see you soon!

Oh, I'’m not sure about this.

Nothing to be scared of.

Nothing to be scared of.

-Nothing to be scared... -[foghorn blaring]

[yelps]

Bon voyage!

Have a wonderful trip!

Nothing to be scared of.

No squids, no snakes, no razor-toothed sea monsters.

No... nothing?

This ain'’t so bad.

Arr!

Maybe life on the ocean way ain'’t so scary after all!

Ha-ha-ha-har!

[foghorn blaring]

[seagulls squawking]

[narrator] A few weeks later, after working on the mainland,

Salty returned to Brendham docks.

There you go, Salty!

Back on dry land again.

How was it, Salty?

Did you enjoy your first time at sea?

Ah, well, it were quite a journey, matey.

Raging seas, terrifying monsters,

waves as high as mountaintops.

[laughing]

Oh, here we go again.

Sharks the size of ships!

Whirlpools of doom!

Not to mention the engine-eating octopus.

Oh, yar!
