03x07 - The Cappy Darrin Story

Post by bunniefuu »

Ooh. You better hurry back.

Oh, no, Not happy. Darren again.

Yeah. You got to.

Got to stop that old growth measure.
I just remembered.

I have to go check the stock.

I'll see you later.

Dr. Bell.

Oh, I'll

hold it up.

You've got me ringing more.

Not Dong Dong bell.

Well done, lad.

That'll bring them skipping to the back.

All right.

Now, just why in tarnation
you ringing that bell this time of night?

Come on, speak up, Charlie.

You better make it good.

Or I'll ring that bell with your head.

Well, the fact is, Cappie says you got
this wagon train way off its course.

He said if you keep on going
like you have been, we'll wind up in Peru.

Peru, huh? That's right.

It's my calculation.

And if you don't change your bearings,
we are going to be in Mexico tomorrow.

So it's Peru now, is it?

Cappie couldn't make a mistake.
We are heading for Peru.

Oh, it's getting serious, Major.

Yes, I should say it is getting serious.

Serious enough
to vibrate a whole wagon train, keeping

these poor people awake
with that confounded fire of yours.

That's a ship's bell, Major.

A ship's bell from the good ship
Shenandoah.

I don't care
if it's Big Ben from London Tower.

You ring that thing again tonight

and by golly, I'm going to melt down the
metal and make an ax out of it and use it.

Are you?

I just wanted to warn you about the upper
Meredith.

You have half of what they left for,
Meredith.

Here it is.

Right here in this American
Nautical Almanac.

It's a Bible for every seaman.

Why? This marks the exact date
for Meredith of the planets

Venus, Mars and Jupiter.

And the location of 55 stars.

How else would you expect
to get the latitude of Polaris

and know where you are?

That's right. Major.

Polaris, Peru. Poppycock.

You listen to me, all, sailor.

This is the Overland Trail.

And I know every wagon wheel
right in it from one end to the other.

A wagon wheel runners.

No better
market than a wave on the high seas.

Well, where are we going
now? We're going to bed.

That's
where we're going to turn in all of you.

Go on, get out of here.

Hey, old timer.

How about giving me a square

through that thing I'm about to lose
and find my way back to the wagon?

You'll scuttle after
I'll give you something to.

Right. You're right. Goodbye.

Come on. Steady.
You got to go to bed, too.

I want to go over these charts
with your grandpa.

You know, Chuck,

I'm not really going to swallow
your grandpa when I bite him.

He's much too salty for my taste.

It's too bad we're shipping out
when we get to San Francisco.

You could do some good navigating
full time.

Yeah, I probably could talk.

It's a long ways
from Peru to San Francisco.

First, I've got to get your car
straightened out with the captain.

You know, boy,

Skipper,
I want to have a little talk with you.

Come out of my wagon with you.

Hi, Cappy.

You forgot the charts in your ship plug.

Right, Chad?

Talk.

I'll come about.

Oh, don't take it so hard, Major.

I don't think it's all your fault.

The way I see it, that Clint McCullough
should share some of the blame.

You know, I've kind of had my doubts
about him all along.

I guess it's really true.

Charlie is no fool like an old fool.

Oh, that ain't fair, Major.
You wait and see.

Cappy knows what he's doing.

Oh, Cappy knows exactly what he's doing.

I had my mind on somebody else, Charlie.

Yeah. Come to think of it, you are.

Get a few more gray hairs up here.
Oh, you.

Have you got enough ammunition, Cappy?

Enough to sink the Spanish Armada, son.

But can you really straighten things out?

I think Major Adams knows that.

Well, maybe so.

You just remember the password.

I'm happy, Darrin.

I don't give up my ship or my ship, mate.

I've been through the middle ground and.

And bolted, and I've come out
a regular build down Johnny Cake.

Think I'm good, Grandpa?

Well, I've got my sea legs.

Now, don't you worry about.

How they help you.

Admiral.

Sir. I.

Yes, sir.

A deviation of 30 degrees right here.

You mean we're stopping in Santa Fe today?

Already? Well,
if that's what you want to make. It was.

Do you see that

navigation chart Wouldn't bother
about marking a trifling wagon road?

You have fellows traveling wagon roads.

You talk about can be two miles wide.

How come?

Well, you see, there's always stock.

Goes along with a wagon train
and they've got to graze.

Now, the more trains you go through,
the more grass they eat and the wider

the trail becomes.

Well,
I might suggest that they make a change

the next time that the Bureau
of Navigation prints up some chart.

Well, I

guess, then, that you think
I must have made a mistake.

But what bothers me is how,
after all these years traveling

the same trail, I could end up this year


You're right.
It doesn't seem possible, does it?

No, it doesn't, Charlie.

Well, there was no reason for it.

There were no currents,
a rough seas to speak of, you know.

But it was merely
a matter of purely steering.

That's what it. What?

I still think it was that scout's fault.

Cappy.

If I didn't know you doggone well, I'd
have given you no quarter to begin with.

But now you've just gone too far
with your nautical nonsense with that

sextant and that compass and that charts
and that confounded logbook.

Now, let me tell you something.

Neither the moon or the sun
nor any of those 55 stars you talk about,

including Polaris, is going to change
the course of this wagon train or destiny.

But it's in the stars, Major.

We read and write for Kingston,
and we'll be there tomorrow afternoon.

And nothing you can do or say
is going to trick me into bypassing it.

Now, Captain,
you better get your cargo ready

because Tuck is not going
with you to San Francisco.

Charlie?

Yes, sir.

Why don't you get us a hot drink?

It's a good idea.
We have had a nippy night.

No, I've watched you raise that boy
from the day that his dad dropped

right beside me. Vicksburg.

You made a good sailor out of my darned
good sailor.

And he's man enough to stand up to a man.

Sorry to disappointment with that pension,

but his mother had no right
to give Tuck to me.

Mason Hardy.

Jack Hardy's son belongs to me.

Cappy, it was her will and testament.

She was trying to do the best
she could for the boy

to give him
the best advantages. Advantage?

What advantage
is it to keep a fish out of water?

Tuck belongs to the sea, Major.

You know that.

You can see it in his eyes.

In his w*r.

Why are you contentious, old rapscallion?

You've got more bite
with those sharp words

than you have
in those straw teeth of yours.

Straw teeth?

Why? I'll have you know, I had to start
to cut my second teeth yet at 70.

Cappie, I'm 50.

Yes, I should say you are 50.
And then some.

I don't feel over 20.

And if you feel contrary to that,
just step up to that line.

Gabby You know,
sometimes you act younger than tuck.

Maybe I ought to take you over my knee
and spank you.

Come on up here and throw them off.

Tumble up here.

I'll take in your sail.

Come on.

Gabby is really yourselves in?

You taking in?

Whether you know it or not, you're making
it a lot tougher on Tuck and should be.

You're the only man in the world
that could open up his heart

so he could live with his uncle.

Oh, he.

He's a perfect stranger to the boy.

He's not a stranger to you and to me.

I soldier with tucks,
Father and Mason Hardy for four years.

All right? He's a good man. You know.

He's good enough to tame Kingston

and end up on the biggest silver
mine in the territory.

Now, why is it you can't satisfy yourself
to stay with him and Tuck?

Why? I'll tell you why.

Because Kingston is landlocked.

It's over 2000 miles to water. That way.

And it's over a thousand
miles to water that way.

I mean, Tuck would

end up turning into a couple of dry
desert lizards

or something.

Haven't

you seen enough water for one lifetime?

I've got to go,

Major.

I assure you. Won't take a look.

People read a lot of things in the stars.

I know, Captain.

It wouldn't do any good.

I don't have the power to change my.

Where do you go, Major?

Well, Charlie, I'm.

I'm afraid I made the old fellow walk

the plank.

Seven bells and all's well.

Seven bells and all's well.

Ahoy!

All right.

Permission requested to come aboard.

Make way for Wouldn't give us the word.

I'm Captain Darren Young, so I've been
through the middle ground and bolted,

and I've come out of regular
build down east. Johnny.

How come you forgot part of it?

You know, after I'm Captain Darren,
I'm supposed to go,

and I don't give up my ship
or my ship, mate.

Well, we've.

We've got that to talk about.

Permission granted to come aboard, sir.

Shouldn't

that only Simon talk to you?

Do you know what a ship of the lion is?

Sure, she's sure.

Big enough
to have a place in the line of battle.

That's exactly. It.

Well, in a manner of speaking.

That was about the size
of Major Adams tonight.

I didn't see it
till he opened his big g*ns up and.

And sent me to the bottom.

But I can help next time.

Oh, it would be too late
and too little now.

There's no way around it.

We dock in Kingston tomorrow and you'll be
staying with your uncle here on in.

I won't.

I'm sorry, but he's your guardian.

Your uncle.

You're my grandfather.

He has the right by law.

No, he doesn't,
as long as you're the captain.

But that's only on the water.

You see. Tuck on land.

Your uncle has a rank like Admiral
and Major Adams captains for him.

And then he has his duty to deliver you.

They can't impress a seaman
off his own ship.

They're nothing but pirates.

It's my fault that you see them that way.

All you hate is my black temper
in my wagon turning against them.

You just hadn't seen them, right?

They're landlubbers.

I know your uncle is.

Well,
your uncle is a sort of a good landlubber.

And he means to do well by you.

He wants to make a fine gentleman
out of you.

I don't care.

Well, and you'll just have to
take your orders from me and trust that

I know what's best.

Don't tell me, please don't make me go.

Nobody wants to.

Hatred you.

He lied.

You lied to me.

Never were going to take me with you.

You just want to get rid of me.

Think about yourself.

Oh, you can't believe that Turkey.

You just can

I take you? But tuck this.

There's still another side.

And maybe it's a better side.

Mason stands for your education and

and the right schools
and the best teachers.

How can you side with them?

You wouldn't teach me the boat world.

There wasn't one school.

You said we got to take it
all. This bottle

by ship is the best school,

and there's none better
to make a real man.

But you know, Tunku See is a hard master.

And there's some, like Mason,
they'd call it the devil.

Maybe he's

right that you should have more lenient
and more grown.

Like what? To be done.

Know this ship? One of them.

I know where by a hard sleep.
Look at this.

And the spread is the flying jib.

This is three quarters sailed.

It goes up along.

It's boom along these days
comes the morning.

Go in and see. It's all of these days.

But these rings go lines
and over here and this.

And I know what you know talk.

You don't have to prove yourself to me.

Then you take me.

Well, if you don't know
if you were just a little older.

You were only 12
when you went away to see it.

You did it by yourself.

Yeah, but it was different.

There was none
that wanted to look out for me.

So you've got your uncle and Major Adams.

Why? They'd scour the whole country.

And the minute they caught us,
they'd hang me from the yard.

The dawn with you navigating.

They couldn't
catch you. sh**t up a new broom. Easy.

Well, we'd.

We'd have to stay away from the trains
trail

to see the wake of a ship
disappears by itself.

But we couldn't help but leave
wheel tracks.

You can do it, Cappy.

I know you can know.

The day is San Francisco's
a long ways off, and.

And this is a strange kind of a notion

for a for the kind of man I am.

Lord Nelson didn't run from to Father
John.

Paul Jones didn't give up. No matter what.

It wouldn't be like you not to try.

All right.

Get the schooner ready. She sails tonight.

Hi, sir.

Now, the first thing for you to do
is to look in the grub box.

Maybe we could get some food in Kingston.

Oh, Kingston's the last port
we want to make for.

No, it isn't like me to do things

like this,
But we'll have to tie and pirate.

And we'll lay siege
against Worcester's galley.

I sort of thought that this

thing would come in handy someday.

What are you looking for, Cappy?

Oh. Here's the magic tugboat.

Chinese firecrackers.

Right from Hong Kong.

You know what we'll do?

We'll have our own 4th of July
and make our.

Tonight

for what

boat?

Hey, golly, I must be getting old.

And you getting that feeling again.

That's about the fourth time
I've gone in the last 15 minutes.

You're not worried about that trouble
between the Piney and Comanche?

Oh, no. We've been through here before.

When the party were raiding the Comanche
hunting grounds.

Happens every year, Bill.

After hardware.

There's never enough for the buffalo.

Yeah, but hungry people aren't particular
who they steal from.

It'll be all right
as long as we stick to the trail.

It had to be pretty desperate
before they jump an armada like this.

Hey, you're going to sound like old Kathy.

Using that seafaring
talk comes kind of natural.

I don't guess

I ever told you, Bill, when I was a boy,
I had an awful hankering for the sea.

And what boy didn't

for bells, huh?

Well, I better relieve that
and check the livestock for bells.

Now, who's using seafaring talk?

What lies right there?

Bill, You better keep your eyes peeled
for any party, just in case.

All right.

It sure was a close one.

See you coming down with a chill. Now.

Just a tickle.

Look just the same.
You'll get a good dose of calomel.

Wouldn't do it
all. You get sick at a time like this.

Nothing can make me stronger
than tell them nonsense.

It's not a ship afloat.

It hasn't got a store of color. Me,
Mr. Medicine Chest.

You can hold your nose when you take it.

Right, sir?

See that? You don't
spit it out behind my back.

Why wouldn't it have been used to.

Nasty place things down?

But it's good.

It's all clear.

As soon as I get.

Down to the galley, you'll start to count.

Now, give me 250 and then.

Who'd like it now?

I, sir,

Quick

question.

What is it look like?

Oh, it was all rocks out here, that's all.

Now they'll hear it. Who'll hear it?

How you doing out here
in the middle of night anyway?

Keep still.

What is it you're hearing?

Oh, they're very clever. You can't be.

I don't know what you're up to,
and I don't much care.

Would you back again?

You're hearing things that ain't here,
and I'm telling

that what you're hearing.

That's an Indian, Mr. Cappy.

You might have fool me,
but actually go and talk to my stuff.

But nobody fools always when it comes out.

I know my house.

Do you think I come all the way down
here, wake you up out of a sound sleep?

If I wasn't sure that there was an Indian.

Prowling around here. Yes, I do.

But I don't know why.
But I know one thing.

You're not going to ask me twice
one night.

Are you going to leave me alone?
All right.

All right. I was looking for the major
in the first place.

I suppose I gave you too much credit
to handle a serious thing like this.

Oh. Oh,

that would be.

Sounds like a no, but.

Not that one. My friend.
Oh, I see what you mean.

My has been expecting trouble.

They mean he's up Kingston way and
that might be them out there right now.

Well, come on, Mr.. Let's have a look.

You go get the Matron Hawks,
and I'll hit up my pants.

Oh, no, no, no.

The major think it's
just another one of those false alarms.

We better make sure
before we call the major.

Yeah, I forgot something.

All that.

I'm ready.

Yeah. Ready or not.

Full of stone?

No, the stone made a stone.

I thought we'd check your out first.

I'm willing to trust your judgment, Mr..

Every stone we go on,

we wait.

You might give away our position.

Yeah.

I can't see the only.

Anyway, Cappy,
I think you're too much for us.

We better go back. I want to camp.

But if you want to
take a chance on being wrong.

This is the way to prove I mean it.

Trying to get ourselves k*lled. Ooh.

What are you doing?

Poor fellow. Must have a sore throat.

He sure don't sound like a usual run
out around these parts.

Don't be so quick to hoist yourself.

Are you forgetting that
you really shot at something?

Just a minute back?

Yeah. What's possibly
a fallen acorn or something?

Come on. From sack.

What a shadow. Moving over there.

Where Lou would have thought our horse.

Can be talked to on what you're saying.

Oh, come on, follow me.

Now, wait a minute, Gabby.

I found me an owl, and that's
all the traipsing around the brush

I'm going to do in my long johns tonight.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry

you made me do this, sir,
but you were in such a hurry to get back.

What kind of a joke it is?

Now, you put that thing down
before it blows it both up.

Mr. Whistle,
you'll do exactly as you're told.

Oh, you may rest assured
that I'll use this fine relic.

Are you serious, Cappy?

Serious enough to resort to piracy
Under the circumstances.

So you put your hands behind your neck
and lay forward.

Go ahead.

Get some rope up.

You're not. What? Hang, are you?

Well, we're taking on supplies right now.

If you're planning.

On cutting off the wagon train tonight,
you're making a big mistake.

Tut, do you know what blocking position is
aboard ship?

Yes, sir.

More time. The same way to the wheel.

Come on.

It's too bad you had to get away, Mr..

Are you going to sh**t him? Cappy?

You wouldn't do that, would you?

I will, if it's necessary.

To get ready for it.

Up your wagons, have some. Barricades
and give you a one more.

Joe, Remind him who died.

Where were you when the sh**ting started?

I was out
checking some owl who Cappy told me about.

Happy?

Yeah, Happy.

Darrin.

All day.

Oh, last night

you to take some time to go down.

Oh, and down, fellow.

Blow them all the way.

They blow down just.

Oh. Hi. On the night.

Sometimes too long to be down.

Oh, oh.

Yeah.

With these boots, Billy,
For you to k*ll them

if I ever catch up with that carpenter.

Oh, wow.

Oh, he won't get too far.

I'll get some men and start
looking for one.

I can't spare you, though. I need you.

Still got livestock to round up my going.

I want to get the case in by tomorrow.

All lone
wagon can get into a lot of trouble.

I just hope that all good fares
a little bit better than that

ancient mariner
I read about when I was a kid.

It seems like his shipmates
tied a dead albatross around his neck.

I don't sound to Wignot.

What the heck is an albatross?

Well, it's kind of a funny looking bird.

He's got big pop eyes and a

come to think about it words.

Charlie.

Rooster.

Rooster.

Something is moving his way.

Sure. You.

Well,

look,

what do you got to say for yourself,

You old albatross.

You let him fool you again, huh?

We had a can my back.
My man was desperate.

I tell you. What you do help him.

You cause he didn't trust me right
at the time I put a gag my mouth.

I was still trying to talk
about a going away on that.

All right, Charlie.

Well, I guess we might as well get moving.

It's almost dawn.

As soon as we get the case

in, the sooner I can start tracking down
that old barnacle.

Come on, now.

I feel better.

How can you feel better?

Run when I have to take it?

Well, it does something for me too.

I never seen you take any.

Well, I've never been that sick.

When I get my class.

What are you looking for, Cappy?

Water.

This vessels leaving tracks.

What is our only chance to cover our wake?

Otherwise they'll find us for sure.

There's a stream marked in this guidebook

to the Platte River. See?

Where'd you get this book tote?

From Major

Adams wagon. I thought maybe you'd show

some other trails
besides the one the wagon trains on.

Did you find any?

But, Chief,
we got to cross the Platte River.

We miss Kingston and pick up the main
trail way ahead of me.

Drums. Oh, mariners don't need a trail.

We'll just steer accomplished.

Course right for the Platte.

Here's something else I got from Wooster

for you. Mr.

Hardtack. I knew you'd like it.

Why? We're getting closer to the sea
every minute.

Let's get ready to sail

for good.

We'll have to,

shouldn't we?

Some. Some of the cargo, Cappy.

Well, that's that super cargo
that I was saving for the Polynesians.

When we get to Tahiti, you know.

I don't think we'll nearly jewelry
and necklaces for trading around here.

I it's deadweight, and we don't need

the balance here.

Now, watch yourself.

There.

Wait a minute.

Now, wait a minute.

I'm going home. It's heavy.

Come on, Look out.

Look out to go cheap.

Well, let's try it again.

Come on.

Don't go

cast off the park lines. I.

I think we're about ready to set sail.

I think this is the plan, Cappy.

No, no, but we must be getting close.

Let's wait for the plot.

I have to

run out.

Well,
probably some friendly natives get up.

They're not sh**ting it.

Give it.

Probably will a tr colored.

Whoa, whoa.

Him too.

We better let them come alongside you.

Hey, what's the big idea here?

You can do that here. Just a minute. Here.

Keep your hands off that boy.

Here, Here. You let go,
then go back, girl.

I'll have your flock.

But we're no.

Oh, So you're a boarding party.

Well,
you can save yourself a lot of trouble

because we've already scuttled
our treasure.

It's back there. A few leagues.

You bring g*ns to our enemy, pointy g*ns.

Now you've got the whole thing
wrong, mate.

No, I brought pretty things,
You know, like beads and.

And combs and scarves.

You know, for the ladies.

That's yours for the taking.

Chief, they're right down there.

We're on our way to San Francisco, sir.

That said. Now you got it.

Army glass.

Navy. That's my glass.

You help plenty.

Steel buffalo from us. Sell them g*ns.

No, we hadn't seen any Pawnee,
and we don't intend to either.

You leave Wagon Road.

Come on. Our hunting ground.

Oh, pony show g*ns.

Like other white traitors.

We're telling the truth.

We're going to canoe over big mountains.

And tell truth.

You speak with forked tongue.

This army glass, navy glass.

Cheapest.

You don't know the difference between

a good Navy spy glass
and a pair of weightless Army binoculars.

I keep you go back Wagon road.

Oh, no, no.

We're going to the plot
to the Platte with Wagon Road.

Glad glass. Stay here.

Hey. Hey, team, get into to watch asking.

No self-respecting
sea captain would give up his telescope.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

I am excited.

Oh, yeah,

right.

He sure drives

a hard bargain
than his Polynesian cousins.

Come on, talk.

Let's go.

Broncos Rat pack

that Bill Gates is only back
ten miles ahead.

Now, I've got to go back
and find that old barnacle.

You want me to go with you? No.

You go ahead and take them on in.

All right, look, I'm Mason Hardy.

You show your place to camp,
make arrangements. Of course.

Go to church on Sunday.

Oh, Major, I think she's good.

Make them out of it all. You do.

I They old Kathy, a part of you. So tired.

You want to settle down?

You probably be strong enough to knock
over an ox and hearty enough to eat it.

I'll catch up with you later.

While this game closed up.

Well, five fathoms deep.

Is that bad, Kathy? It couldn't be worse.

The pot sure has grown
since Major Adams marked it down.

It's a full blown river now.

We'd better get him.

I don't.

Can we really get across here?

Isn't it too deep?

Oh, it's simply a matter of displacing
more water than the weight of a ship.

It's the principle of flotation.

Won't you ship water?

Not a pure bear.

A hand,
if you will bear a hand and caulker.

Seems why we'll be across the plot.

No time.

No, it

is. Floating.

We're really afloat.

Well, of course.

Got you.

Didn't doubt
the principle of the flotation, did you?

Not exactly.

But I can't help wondering why loaded
all the food and bedding in the lifeboat.

Well, there was too much ballast in
the wagon boat. That's a lot

shabby.

What is this turn?

There's some water digging in.

But you got to expect seepage
until the board went up

and expand.

How much seepage?

Kathy?

My goodness.

That Corky must have been a little old.

What do we do now?

Cabbie all the time has a little bilge
water in the best two ships.

I think we ought to abandon ship.

I'm surprised that you abandon ship.

Let's. It's a swim.

To the boy.

You damage.

We're not completely sunk
or we can't be waterlogged.

That's all that way.

I can. Can't possibly go to the bottom.

Could still be made to float.

Well,
you might say she's floating underwater.

We'll get her out.

Nothing like good Navy bean soup
after a good swim attack.

Wonderful

woman to

share. You're shivering.

Something terrible.

No, I'm not.

I'm just kind of wiggling
because I feel so good going down.

Well, well,
let me just feel your paw in there.

No, I'm fine. Happy. I'm really All right.

See about that?

I think I'll take some more medicine

to make sure.

Well, you must have been feeling

very desperate today to take that stuff
all by yourself.

I just couldn't let myself get sick.

Not now, Cappy.

Oh. Gosh,

You shouldn't
try to hide that from me. Why?

That's like deceiving yourself.

You've taken me back.

I know you would.

Well,
I'm thinking about doing that anyways to.

I'll feel better, Cappy.

I swore I will,
you see. Wait till morning.

Oh, sometimes you will.

Sometimes you.

Are you too tired to hear story?

I like a scary one that comes up good.

A real scary one.

Like it was dark and stormy.

It was.

And the good ship Shenandoah was tossed
and rolled on the heavy sea.

It was bound for the Bay of San Francisco.

And she was carrying,
well, a carrying a prize.

It was worth the king's ransom
to her Captain.

Gold and jewels.

He. Oh, no.

Lad was a human prize.

He was the cabin boy,
a youngster much like you,

and much more precious
than the value of a metal or box.

But listen now.

Good to hear.

The reward is hitting the power force

and noise like giant sledgehammers.

I and it had been a terrible journey.

Had to learn

what happened Look on the deck

You know just what I mean.

She was

she was a ship without a crew.

Only the captain and his cabin boy.

Man. The damage

alone may have loosed the mainsail
and escaped the captivity

of a pirate fleet in the Straits
of Magellan struck out on their own.

They did, against impossible odds.

For the good captain
would not be delivered with his prize

to the waiting clutches
of the admiral of Cape Horn.

I He would rather die of the pains
and tempt the wrath of the fury.

It was nearly galloping his island off
the coast of Peru.

When the captain became aware
something was wrong,

the captain took his trusty spyglass.

He was not the stick.

The most feared pirate of the seven
seas was fast approaching.

The captain shouted orders
and the poor cabin boy

struggled
with all his maiden name sheet home.

The poor royal cried the captain,

but a sheet home and saw the boy

torn, bleached, may and tired as a puppy.

They were no match for the black ocean.

They overhauled of the Shenandoah
and boarded up

other then captain sat

by himself, Master of the pirate fleet

and one of the most infamous rogues
of all time.

And with him the most bloodthirsty crew
ever gathered together.

Oh, it was a terrible sight
just to see those cutthroats

brandishing their cutlasses
swarming aboard the defenseless Meacham

and the charge the next swaggering,
including as they came.

The cabin boy was a brave, stout
hearted lad.

He reached for a marlin spike
and meant to go down fighting.

Now the captain drew his own line.

He was a man of woodsmen.

Make no mistake about it.

He could have struck Bligh down
where he should go.

But he looked at the lad whom he loved so
well and he weighed the odds against the

and he.

As. Well.

He just put what.

He couldn't Cappy.

Really couldn't fight
all those pirates took.

It. So at the end of the story.

That's as far as it goes tonight.

Who were you better earning?

No more. Oh.

Oh, John.

Captain,

how about let me give you a hand through.

We made it. If you had numbers.

You know, Captain, maybe sometimes it's
better for the pirates

to catch up to the good captain
and his cabin boy.

Let's get him in the cabin

already.

Without.

How is it he can't go much higher

and you ought to be in here with him.

You need another kind of medicine
right now.

Back there

mentioned

you're not going in there and start
another argument with the captain.

Think of the boy for a change.

That's who I am thinking
of. Cappie started

all this by filling Tuckerman
with a lot of ridiculous fancies.

Ridiculous

go off of it, Mason.

You, of all people,
how could you possibly forget

the wonderful witchery of the sea?

The stories that can't even see
the beautiful side of ships?

I don't. I remember. I went to see.

And all the fine drapery fell off.

Good.

Then how come you put all that
fine drapery in the kids

room, trying to make it
look like a ship of the line? Oh,

maybe there is an afterglow.

Yeah,

same kind of afterglow
that was burning in Captain's Heart

when he tried to take the kid
to sea with him.

That's a lot of nonsense.

You know,
sometimes it's kind of hard to figure

how a man like Captain would want
to follow his star as much as he does.

Yes, because he can't wait much longer

because he hasn't got much time
left to think of that with.

He said

no man with good sense.

Would go to see it. 17.

You listen to me, Mason.

Great old man
with Captain Spirit Rule countries,

and if they have the will,
they can still command armies in battle

or captain in great ships
and don't you forget that

for a minute.

Don't be hard on approval at Captain.

He's such a little fellow.

Swinging the line tweaks heaven and earth.

Please set him back safe on the deck,

open, shotting it in my mind.

And I think I've got you.

Course. Now

something you wrote in your

in your own
great line book that I remember

about how Jonah ran away
and you punished his shipmates

for what he did
so that he'd realize how wrong he was.

And as Jonah said,

take me up and cast me into the sea,

for I know that for my sake,
this great tempest is upon you.

Captain.

I'm ready to be pitched over and swallowed
by a whale just the same as Jonah

or anything else you want to do with me.

I realize, though,

I should have brought up right
straight to Kingston.

But as you already know,

I'm just an old faker than that.

I've never been the same

just because I was so sad on going that
I didn't do what was right.

I took

Remember what you said in the Psalms?

Cathy

They get down to the sea in ships

and do business in great waters.

These see the works of the Lord
and his wonders of the day.

Well,

that's
something I wanted to do all my life.

But it doesn't seem important
that people would

please Captain,

save this little sailor.

And if you keep fit,

let me stay here with him,

Tuck.

And meanwhile,

we could share the seven seas
no matter where we are, just so that we.

We're together.

What would you please get

care?

Be happy.

I'm right here, son.

I thought I heard you singing Shenandoah.

Well, I'm glad you did.

Sing it again, Cathy.

Oh, and then, though

I long to hear you far away.

You rolling?

Oh, oh, and. Of

pulling off.

The port bow and.

Whoa,

whoa.

Is your friend jolly?

Yeah. They're so happy
they'll get to ever get the sandwiches.

Go. Well,

in case you don't know it,
we're going to have three passengers

to pick up
next time we come through Kingston.

You know, that old Barnacle has already
talked Hardy into a world cruise and.

Yeah. Oh.

Yeah.

Bye bye.

Your.
