 All aboard for the transcribed premier production the cruise of the Paul Parrot that thrilling story of privateers shipwreck and wailing days at sea Although bad luck has followed our friends of the Paul Parrot ever since they found the rough diamonds on Gaulto Island It looks now as though they may just about have everything under control Or even though the Paul Parrot was wrecked on this strange island off the coast of Brazil All repairs have just about been made by the man under the direction of Captain Dalton The Indians who menaced our friends have been scattered their white leader misto The magician has gone mad and jumped into the ocean when his black leopard was killed by the Jaguar Which Johnny Robbins and Sue Grange befriended Annabelle Wilson is back safe in camp and Johnny and Sue have recovered the diamonds that briney stole Only one problem faces our friends now that the Paul Parrot is repaired How can they get it back into the sea from the rocky ledge where it was beached as they're worrying over this? Impossible task a sail is sighted approaching the island It soon turns out to be a full rigged ship, and it's about to drop anchor in the harbor as we pick up our story Dickon Dickon hand me my glass That vessels fly on no colors, but there's something about it. That's familiar. Hi captain. He's the glass I think I knows what you means I does know me down to these you know what ship that is dicken Strike me captain if these all eyes don't deceive me It's it's the african I dicken the africana it is Captain Dalton you mean captain Karsha's privateer ship that we got separated from in that awful star I sue last the very same Captain if that is the africana We may have more trouble on our hands whoever's in charge of the rest of the privateer's crew doesn't know that karsha's dead And briney and his men have surrendered their liable to start firing on us again But mr. Grange Remember there are still a lot of our men from the crew of the pal paradigm board that ship Remember captain karsha made them go over there as hostages when he and his men boarded us Then when the storm came up and we lost our rudder neither group could get back to their own ship You're right lad, but I fear mr. Grange is right our men can do little good Most likely against all the men of their crew that are still on the africana Dirt and down the edge captain if that means we has to fight what are we standing about Gaffin for that's right Dicken if we could defeat half their crew we ought to be able to walk with the other half easy enough Easy there Johnny and dicken remember they have cannon aboard and we're in their range. They can blow us off the beach But we'll be ready the last all hands Stand by for a skirmish mr. Wainwright mr. Wainwright issue arms from the powder locker There's a bootload of men coming ashore. Lush me to a yard on captain. That's a good sign. That means they will stop poorly first There's somebody in the bow of the boat captain holding up his arm. It looks It looks like stand by men make no show of resistance till we find what they want first captain Dalton Don't you know who that is in the boat? It's mr. Hollings Hollings well, so it is Salt me down for a mackerel Hollings was the one who saved the diamonds for us on go to island captain Dalton Maybe he can help us again. I mr. Grange have a great deal of faith in that man When I sent him over on the Africana at the head of our group of hostages I figured he might be able to throw a reef in the private here's course and maybe he's done just as much Oh Johnny just think mr. Hollings wasn't even one of us to begin with he was one of that awful dirt Brisco's crew back on go to island and yet. He's been such a good friend. Blow me down It seems you're all doing a lot of pearl counten before you even catch your oysters Let's wait and see what Hollings has to tell us they're beaching their boat now Yes, some of the other man from our crew that went over to the Africana with him. Blow me down. It's a blink and reunion Hollings it's good to see you again. We scarcely thought we'd ever see you were the Africana again after that storm Hello Johnny and Sue Well, I'm back all right and I'll bring you good news you seem to be in charge of things around here What happened aboard the Africana? Well captain when you sent me over with a party of hostages and give me that long glance I knew you wanted me to try something. Hi Hollings that I did with your ingenuity I thought you should be able to spike his gun somehow. Yes captain It was the storm that came to me aid When the Paul parrot and the Africana were separated the crew on the private here was on be men's Both the captain and the first mate were over on the Paul parrot The third mate had died then the second officer was a man that couldn't have been master of efficient smack But what did you do mr. Hollings? Well, I'll tell you that it's highest and all hands were at wit's end Did I start him to figure out? Blow me down. Help me. I just know what captain Carson be walking me to do in case like this I can't see the other ship at all. Don't you know how to navigate men? I know but that is I think I just well enough but without the captain. It's very distressing for me Oh, yes, then you're letting the waves hit us a beam if you let us sink sidewise into the trough of the waves will be swapped Give me the wheel. I'll write it out for you I I ought to let you at the wheel being your one of the oil is the captain was about to scuttle But if you if you think you can hear why You're swinging the wheel hard over your layer over on her Well, I guess that did it when I swung the wheel over hard the boom from the foremast hit him in the back of the head and felt him like a tree Oh, hi there you meant from the Paul parrot Now here's all that's left to the second mate thanks to a swing and boom that just laid him low The crew aboard is demoralized. It's up to us to keep our heads and take off All right, all right now here You you Rogers and Kately creep after and spike all the Canada you three get to the arms locker and take what arms you need And stand guard over the rest of your capture the cook and stand guard over the galley Bring me guns and you for back me up with rifles when this bloomin private air crew finds out We've got all the arms that they've got no leader and that they don't eat till they do what we say They'll see our way of it soon enough You mean to say that you and the men with you from our crew took over the Africana as easily as that. Hi, Mr. Grains, that's the way it happened. In fact, we didn't even have as much trouble with them as we expected after the storm died down There wasn't one left who had navigator ship well enough to be sure to get them out of their trouble So when I promised not to report him as pirates, they was ready to follow me and eat out of me hands Wonderful, but how did you get back here and find us on this island? Well, Johnny, that wasn't so easy We scoured these seas all these days looking for some trace of the Paul parrot to tell you the truth I'd almost given up hope when I sighted the smoke from your camp on this island and a moment later through the glass I saw the good ship Paul parrot herself rest in high and dry on the beat High-hullings all's well that ends well they say. Hi, but by the way, are you sure the men on the Africana are still with you? They won't try any tricks now when they find out what's happened to their captain and the rest of the crew There's captain you can depend on them. They're behind me strong Captain I just thought of something remember you and mr. Grange and Dickon said you were worried about getting the Paul parrot back down into the sea again I lad with whatever I still see no way to do it now that the Africana's in the harbor Couldn't it pull the Paul parrot down off the rocky leg? Johnny let this ain't like hitching a wagon to a blooming horse. Let the Africana pull us off Johnny is sound like a blooming land lover Stole that Paul parrot Blow me down dick and there may be something in what the boy says it that if we construct a long slide from the big trees in The jungle from the ledge across the beach into the sea What's to prevent the Paul parrot from sliding down them if she had a tug from a line hitched to the Africana? But captain with the Africana in shallow water She can't get enough women or sales to drag us off of ass tears where I have good news for you Among the many fancy trimmings the Africana's got is a little auxiliary steam engine below decks to give her a boost when the wind dies It ain't a big one, but it's enough to give the Paul parrot a boost off the island Hullings have saved the day for us again. Mr. Hullings you'll receive an ample share of our proceeds from the treasure when we return to New Bedford I assure you Now you may later that no hold hold hold fast a moment captain Captain Dalton you've got a full crew. You don't need me And now I've got the chance. I've always wanted I've had me first mates papers for years, but I could never get to be master of a ship Now here's the Africana Kosh owned it and he's dead. He had no as his only other officer brine. He's joined with you. He has His crews come to me as a man Now look here captain Dalton. They let me claim salvage on it The port authorities will grant my claims and I'll be what I've wanted to be all these years Master of me own ship a respectable merchantman skipper And believe me that means more to me than all the diamonds you could show me You're a wise man Hullings. I There's nothing like being master of a ship your own ship Do as you like Hullings and good luck to you But we'll miss you at that your old seadog Well, that's me to a yard on what are we all standing around like a like a blooming bunch of sentimental landlubbers? We've got work to do we had a dick in your old hard-shell crab we have step lively men once off that rock ledge and we're Getting for home at last and this time. There'll be no more stops Here's the quiet Johnny. Oh I'm just thinking what about oh about seeing mother and father again after all these years and About what's been happening in the Civil War and about well everything I was awful sorry to see mr. Hullings leave us But I guess he knew best he got what he wanted most a ship of his own and that's the most important thing I think well now you've got all you want haven't you Johnny I mean when we get back to new Bedford and brother as we sell the diamonds will all be rich. Yes, Sue But that's not all I found something else that I want all my life more than being rich even what's that Johnny? I bet I can answer that Johnny. I don't think and I didn't see you come up behind us And he's captain Dalton too. We couldn't help over here in your sue and Johnny. Well dicken. What do you think it is? I want most verse lad. I'm afraid it's the same thing. I always wanted to be on the scene Is that it Johnny? Yes, Sue. That's it. I It's caught you in its spell too has it Johnny Well, let me tell you this the seal make a man of you if anything can and it's helped prove to me That I may look over all the earth and nowhere would I find a better group of shipmates than us four right here Hey captain, you said a wise word. We'll always be good shipmates I hope and I hope no matter how many storms we run into There'll always be enough smooth sailing for us And there they go Johnny sue captain Dalton Paul parrot himself and all our friends of the Paul parrot homeward bound But they've still got a long ways to go And there may be many more adventures ahead for all of them on the transcribed crews of the Paul parrot But until we hear from them again, this is your announcer Dave ward wishing all of them smooth sailing and saying goodbye
