Well the dashing captain carney It's so nice to see you again. Oh stinky Where's de grout? What the devil are you doing here a stroke of luck, sir? I reached an agreement with de grout just last evening at the moment. I am the owner of the bunker ship chandlers That's enough for me. I'm getting out now. Just hold on. Don't y'all go going off half cock now very concisely put mr. mankin It couldn't have been The mangan we'd run into and chentsen had died But this one looked like him and talked like him And more to the point like the other one. He sported a pearl handled frontier model colt And so mutual continues the voyage of the scarlet queen written by gildow d and bob tollman and starring elliott lewis The scarlet queen protest ship to plow the seas bound for uncharted adventure Every week a complete entry in the log and every week a league further in the strange voyage of the scarlet queen All right, austin. Let's have it. What do you want? You'll find me in dire need of your help says Yeah, I'll bet now don't go interrupt in austin all the time. Will you just let him have it Thank you mr. mankin. Oh, by the way, sirs. This is mr. mankin my confidential secretary You'll possibly remember his brother Deceased in the line of duty. Yeah, I remember I must say that although I do miss richard His brother robert has developed into a most satisfactory associate But my problem I am caught between two equally powerful forces and I must admit I'm at loss as to which way to turn Upon the one side mr. constantino upon the other your own employer koojee kang Both gentlemen hungering after esteem and wealth and Dear me, I find myself embroiled. Yeah, I'll bet you're fought to stay out of it. Oh, yes, indeed I made myself most unavailable I was in fact taking my ease of aboard one of my purling luggers off the tonnain bars When I was approached by a courier from mr. constantino a quite superior type of chap rolling golter by name I disliked him immediately, but Alas, he offered me ten thousand dollars merely to describe to him the stores that are to be placed aboard your ship He could thus duplicate the order and constantino would also be suitably equipped for the final struggle to Rest the fortune from its hiding place. So you turned it over to him. Not yet What's holding you up to be quite candid, sir. I have become obsessed with a notion To wit that perhaps you might prevail upon mr. kang to offer me a slightly Larger some to turn your supplies over to you Just wait a minute hold on will you just wait a minute Don't you all go getting riled up in that tone of voice? Our sin was just trying to set your minds to thinking he could just as well have told me to pick you off as you come through that door He didn't He's just trying to be friendly. Thank you. Mr. Mangan that will be quite enough. I think Well captain, what have you done with the groat? Mr. The Groot is vacationing at a secluded spot near the center of the island and he told me to tell you that he don't want to be disturbed Yeah, that's logical. Well captain Well Where's the closest cable office so I can get word to kang You would in your message suggest that he make a counteroffer. What else splendid Then I've anticipated you. I've already communicated with mr. kang painting clearly the situation Including the uh intense danger in which you and your chief officer find yourself. What do you mean by that? Mr. Galter sir a most dislikable fellow He would kill you both should you learn of the plan or should the plan fail So you see you are indeed in intense danger Yeah, thanks. Now then shall we go Go where to meet your enemy mr. Galter and his charming comrade loretta For the occasion, I prepared a small welcoming ceremony at my residence here. Thanks again, but I think we'd rather go back to the ship Mr. Mangan, maybe our sin's invite was too polite for you Yes, move dad. Go ahead. Get it out that door Our sin's house was like the resident governor's palace And his small welcoming ceremony from what we could see at the entrance hall Was a south seas version of the bows art ball I have founded a great boon in situations of tenseness to call upon pleasure in generous portions. So I see I can tell from here. It's been a great party. Yeah, but don't forget corny. I won't be riding herd on you from someplace Thank you, mr. Mangan. Shall we go in? Our sin minced across the hall with red and me following in the backwash of jasmine that flowed from him Mangan brought up the rear The big room we entered was well supplied with people food and liquor The people were mostly ballonese and mostly female Which meant that they were of a type world hail for coloring form costume The food was heaped from one end of 40 feet of polished teak table or the other and had come from every corner of the world The bar was supplied with the same eye toward variety as we reached the center of the room a supple young girl stepped onto a low platform Again rising into the rhythms of a few musicians If we got to have trouble skipper, this is the way I wanted this is the way you've got it. So watch your step You could enjoy my little party gentlemen Yeah, it's great Could be very relaxing indeed the true purpose of such fair and such company Mr. Mangan take mr. Gallagher to the bar. Yes. Come on radio. See you later skipper. Yeah red Now sir, if you will come with me, you shall meet the other element in our little trying Galter and his charming comrade were waiting for us in a quieter corner He was at outstanding heavy featured stocky half a head shorter than I carrying his cargo a little too much drink, but loretta Loretta was different Auburn hair loosely framing a delicately tanned face Eyebrows arching over soft brown eyes with lashes that Almost but not quite touch the eyebrows And a habit of caressing her own full mouth with her fingertips So she liked it too like all good hosts captain carney. I like to surround myself with people of all types Here is my Caucasian display mr. Loretta finland and mr. Roland galt I resent that Caucasian display. I'll see oh come now. I'm a pleasantry. All right I resent that kind of pleasantry. Oh roll and drop it Ah, you don't like my attitude All right, I'll take it out with me when I go if the kind oriental will still allow me the use of the room Good Come come come now my dear Mr. Galter shall in no way lessen the pleasures of the evening shall he captain Rest of the guests seem to be living through it. Yes, indeed And in the face of food drink and music Why not live? I will look into the welfare of your chief officer, sir In the meantime, I hope that you too will enjoy each other as well as my hospitality Did that sound a little pointed to you a little yeah, he takes his name too seriously Come on. Let's have a drink or something. That's as good a way to start as any She was not only beautiful, but she was led by instinct And well versed in using the same instinct on others We went from the bar To the wide screen veranda Then do some comfortable rat-tanned furniture in a secluded corner of the softly scented garden What's the matter phil? What could be just wishing I knew you better Why? So I'd know why you were here in boule long No here No Because you appealed to me Hmm? How about gaulter? He doesn't appeal to me anymore You do Come here darling See? I know you are Oh I know you are What was that? What are you telling me? Phil, you're hurting me You bring me out here to get me out of the way? No Phil, really I didn't know he was going to do anything On that? By the time I got to the house the place was in a frenzy I saw Gallagher crumpled on the floor Gaulter was stepping over his body It only took one look to see that he was anything but drunk What's going on Gaulter? Okay Connie, keep moving this way What have you done to Gallagher? Man, his size is safer on the floor You look pretty good there yourself Don't talk him before I do Right now that gun doesn't scare me, it makes me mad Go on, get mad Everybody's out in the open now I've seen to it that the message from our syndicang Never got out of bully long, Connie Whatever bargaining to be done will be done by me Which means none Now turn around and face the door Okay, it's your party Gaulter Where are we going? You really want to know? You're staying here Throbbing my head The pain of an arm twisted under me With the lines that finally pulled me back To what was left to my world It was inky dark I was lying on a floor Warm, uh, such a warm Skipper, you here too? Yeah So I've seen Four or five years I guess Not moving for fear that clunkhead would bash me again What happened, Ren? I was outside Being human All of a sudden Gaulter had our sin laid out like we were And then Gaulter's quite a boy Where's our sin now? A couple of natives dragged him and Mangan out the back way Oh, yeah My head's got a knot the size of a heave and lead If I get my hands on it Hold it, hold it Kevin, I finally found the room What do you want? He'll believe me, I didn't draw you away from the house for any reason except my own Listen, I can get you out of here Will you trust me? Handedly, no You're a gun, now will you trust me? That if you gave me the royal Dutch artillery Everything you do is just too pat This for example, why? Because I want to get rid of Gaulter I want you to kill him You're fated, I'll take that one Okay, Gaul, just lead the way It isn't much, but it's the best offer we've had since the lights went out I didn't know where she was taking us But wherever it was, we went on foot We picked up the smells of the harbor at low tide Then the greasy shine of the water She let us out on to appear To a shack set up on pilings We opened the door Mixed with the stench of mud There drifted the faint odor of jasmine And huddled in a corner Tied hand and foot and with his head hanging in shame His robe soiled and torn was our sin Cross from him was mangan Leave me, I beg of you Go, leave me to my shame Well, that's a fine reaction, isn't it? Oh, now, all sin, don't go acting that way I demand not to request that you leave me The infinitesimal bits of face I might save From this cruel series of events Now, unloose me, corny I'm going gunning for a vomit named Gaulter You're gonna erase me Yeah, spread your hand so I can get this blade between them Get his feet where you're at Oh, boy You know where Gaulter will go? I got him out of strong hunch If he's looking for them suppliers And you already don't find them in the warehouse I figure he'd go right back to all sin's house Where they at? There you are Yeah, oh, thank you Well, say Ain't that that little old colt in mine that you got? Yeah Here, mangan, you can have it Well, look, I'm there now All right, now Now don't you fret none, our sin If I could see but one small clement of colt Oh, buck up, you old horse thief Look, we don't have time to stay here and argue with you Come on, our sin, we're going to save your face Our sin's house was still lighted when we got there The main room still cluttered by the table full of food The refuse left by the people who've been there Gallagher and mangan started through the place looking for Gaulter Our sin, Loretta and I stayed in the big room to watch the exits It was about five minutes after the search started That we heard mangan flush him Hands up everybody, here it comes I moved toward the door that led from the long hallway I heard him running toward me Then when he broke from the doorway I made a short ten foot rush I hit him from his left My right shoulder driving into his legs just above the knees So that my body swung in front of him and he crashed over me The bruises gun barrel that left behind my ear Got bumped in the first impact And with the anger the pain brought me, I let him up Stood back Then went in again to regain the face I'd lost When he gunned with me Well, don't go You get yourself into a temper when you get to going, don't you? Watch it, mangan You don't come out of it for a while either Phil down, I know you all right Get away from me, leave me alone Phil You can kill him yourself, I've had enough of him Captain, when the final accounting is made out of Shut up Calm down, skipper, you've had your fun He slugged me too and I didn't even get a crack at him Ah, sorry, red Well, who's doing the bargaining now? I've tried, Phil But if you'll let me, I'd like to try again All right, if you want to do something, go mix me a drink All right, Phil Captain Your instinct is infatuated What do you mean by that? Sending that dreadful woman away See here What? Moving that Galter is not the only one capable of intercepting cables This missing from Konstantino would dress not to Galter But to Miss Loretta Finley But who's it, sir? The cable didn't make me feel any worse or any better But it did make sense Loretta Finley was the loyal Konstantino worker Since we were so close to Kang's treasure Galter had decided to hide the information about my equipment Outfitters ship himself and enter the race on his own So finally, the warm trip to the softly scented garden Made sense Well, sir Would you like to claim her yourself for chastisement? No You're going to have her No, splendid, splendid Mr. Mangan, go apprehend Miss Loretta We will sell her for a handsome profit To the first party leaving for the Asia mainland Well, we could send her down to Texas Have to take the fight out of her Well, sir When the final accounting I believe it is safe to assume That we may part as we met on equal footing And is the best of friends My broken furniture and dishes A not inconsiderable item notwithstanding Your face is all right Indeed Since you, my friend, saw to it that Galter's activities Were terminated on my premises I feel that I have indirectly but conclusively Saved the situation Well, that's a boy, Orsonian I know you'd come up bucking My debt to you is even now so great That my greatest sacrifice barely suffices to even the score I give to you your supplies You're very generous, Orson Indeed Thank you, sir I may say that you are a most estimable man yourself, sir The next morning the equipment was aboard And we'd pushed out against the tide Toward the Flores Sea and the next port An anchorage off Halmahara Our bow lifted under the deep water swell And the damp monsoon rolled down Across our port quarter No key to excitement By the diving gear we'd taken aboard Jumped to their stations Reminded again that it was an important ship They'd signed on You stop a sheet, make sail The fans of the mainsail followed the head Climbing up the mast Flapped hopefully for a number of seconds And settled back comfortably under the wind That finally filled it To the ship sheets, friend Finally held Then the mizzen And the scarlet queen slashed into the swells As though impatient As though the wind and sea she had Were not enough for her to work with That's tipper, I want to ask you a question Fire away, Rhett Well, when you said you were out in the garden Acting human Just what did you mean? Well, Rhett, I was just admiring All the glories of Bali, that's all That's human Yeah, that's what I thought, of course I knew you wouldn't be wasting your time With Loretta What do you know about her?
