We better hurry up for we won't never find our way back to the bright light You just take it easy, California. We got the whole night ahead of it. Yeah, that's just it I want to make the most of it. Say this frisco is quite a town. Yeah, sure is. I guess it's got just about everything Yeah, I wouldn't give you two cents for all this water though I don't see how them sailors stand. Well, I suppose they don't see how we stand ranch life Maybe you're right, but as far as I'm concerned that ocean business is strictly for the fish And just give me dry land Well, maybe you better wait here then when I go aboard this old cub and get the money I wouldn't want you getting seasick Oh sure copy longs it don't get any further away than this from the doctor. I don't mind Well get on up that gang plank then I'll bet old man Caldwell and his daughter and that Wainwright fellow it'll be glad enough to get off this thing And finally get back to war Australia California most folks don't feel the way you do about oceans and boats for having a fine trip out of this See now as I remember We've got to go downstairs and towards the back end of this concern. Haha. I hope no sailors ever hear you talking It's not downstairs and towards the back end. We go below and ask What's the difference so long as we find cold rolls cabin collect the money and get back to town Back again welcome aboard Decide to sail for down under with us. Hello captain. No, just paying our last visit got a little business with mr. Caldwell Ship looks deserted. All right. It is almost our last night in port most of the men are ashore I've just kept the skeleton crew aboard. Oh, that doesn't hoppy. Let's get out of here now They're running this thing with dead people Oh By the way is mr. Caldwell and he's cabin. Hi, they're all aboard. Oh, can I show you the way? Oh, that won't be necessary We can find it all right. Well, I'll get back up to the bridge then my third mate's taken sick I'm having to take his watch. I'll see you later captain. Come on, California Hmm some boat if this is the Pacific Queen royalty sure slipping huh coffee What do you expect of a cattle boat the palace hotel? Wait a minute. I think this is Caldwell's cabin right here. Well, the door's half open. Let's see. He's in there Mind if we come in mr. Caldwell, California night Wayne rice, what's happened here? I I don't know I came in just a moment ago and found him lying here like this Joe you suppose he's dead To hop along Cassidy and our story parallel at pier 19 Hoppy in California have taken a shipment of reading stock to San Francisco where it was loaded aboard a cattle boat Which was to sail the next day for Australia? They returned to the ship that evening to receive payment for the cattle from a mr. Caldwell an Australian rancher When they got to his cabin, however, they discovered Caldwell lying on the floor his future son-in-law Cedric Wayne right kneeling beside him come on men help me get him up on his bed easy now That's it. Did you hurt bad coffee? I don't know head split open, but I can't tell how serious it is I say this is terrible all the money is missing from his little strongbox Look at me like you're more worried about the money than you are about mr. Caldwell, Wayne, right? Oh now see here Never mind California, you better get right up and tell the captain what's happening and get a doctor pronto and Tell the captain not to let anybody off this ship. I got you hoppy. I'll be back I say Cassidy the bounder that did this must be captured Who do you suppose it could be? That's just what I'd like to know You say you just came in before we got here. That's right. You see I'd be in my cabin dressing Hello, mr. Cassidy darling. We really must Father Father, what's happened? Oh steady now. He heard said we counted it happened Well, it appears that some chaps truck him over the head and rub the strongbox Ellen at any rate the money is missing Oh poor father. I was afraid something like this might happen. He simply wouldn't listen to me Excuse me miss Allen, but what did you mean? He wouldn't listen to you. Well father brought the money aboard the ship two days ago and put it in a little strongbox I tried to persuade him to leave it at the bank But he said nobody would even know he had the money here in his cabin. That's right Cassidy I remember that was the day mr. Russo visited the ship and gave mr. Caldwell the wine mr. Russo you've heard of Russo's the famous Italian restaurant here in San Francisco. Oh, yes Well, you see mr. Caldwell knew Antonio Russo years ago in Europe father looked him up when he arrived in San Francisco Mr. Russo's been extremely kind to all of us I see and with mr. Russo here when you were discussing where your father keeping the money here in the cabin Well, yes, yes, mr. Russo had brought father a case of his finest wine and while he was here We got to talking about the money Mr. Russo agreed with Cedric and me that it was dangerous to keep it here and as far as your father knew nobody but yourselves And mr. Russo knew he'd brought the money here exactly I don't know anyone else could possibly have known And to make us feel better father told us he'd hide the little box in the bottom of the case of wine We all thought that an excellent idea. Well, sometimes things don't turn out quite the way we figure By the way, have either of you ever seen this before. Oh, yeah That looks like mr. Russo stick pin by job. It is Where'd you find it Cassidy? It was lying here on the floor right beside mr. Caldwell Fellowes are bored for a while left just before you came Say you I don't suppose anything just yet captain But it looks like mr. Russo's got some mighty tall explaining to do well He was the only landmine would have come aboard ship this afternoon Doesn't strike me as being the kind of man who would slug and rob somebody Well, yes, you never can tell that's right. You never can tell how many crew members are on the ship captain Well, I could tell you Hank Grossman. He's my third mate. It took sick He's been bunked down in quarters all afternoon I'll try to him and myself for just a couple ordinary seamen aboard and where would I find them? Well, they're down the cattle hold but if you're suspicion in any of my crew you're off your course Well, no harm in checking up a little can't be too careful about a thing like this captain. Hey, you're right Cassidy Can I show you how to find them? No, thanks? I think we can find them. All right The doctor says he's gonna be all right hoppy things. He'll be conscious again pretty soon good. Come on, California. Let's go I Sure didn't learn anything from them two sailors below. No, maybe we'll have better luck with Grossman be cabin here You Grossman the third mate, yeah, what about it? Can't you see ain't feeling good? We just wanted to ask a couple of questions Grossman You see mr. Cowell is not feeling so good either Got a bad headache and it was caused by someone sneaking up and slugging him over the head Yeah, what's that gonna do with me? Maybe nothing. I just thought you might have seen or heard something that would help us pick up the trail No, I'm afraid I can't help you. I told you I ain't feeling good now get out of here Such harsh vitality. All right Grossman. We'll be glad to clear out just one more question What's this thing here under your bunk? Get away from here. Put that back. Oh, don't get up. Don't get up Remember you're a sick man What do you call this thing anyway? It's a belay and pin stupid. Well, well, so that's a belay and pin Doesn't make quite a thing for hitting a man's skull wouldn't it? What was it doing under your bunk Grossman? Yeah, you think you're pretty smart, don't you? Why everybody's got one of them. They're all over the ship and do they all have blood stains on them? Yes, I can't count boy. You're way off. I use that one to kill rats with and there's plenty of money Mind if I take this along for a souvenir? Yeah, just get out and leave me alone. Come on, California Mr. Grossman must get his rest now Hey, the sheer market streets really something ain't it better But weren't for the fog you could see a thousand like yes quite a place probably be as big as St. Louis someday This looks like Rousseau's place right ahead. You still think somebody besides that third mate sin on the robbery, huh? I'm downright certain of it. Somebody must have told him that money was on the ship and where it was hidden Well, let's see if mr. Rousseau was in Say, this is the right fancy eating place coffee. Good evening gentlemen. Welcome to Rousseau's I got a nicer table. You're gonna like. I like these away. Oh, good idea. I'm nice starved to death We haven't got time to eat now, California. I guess we can sit and have a cup of coffee though I hear you are a gentleman. Please sit you down. Oh, well, waiter. We came here to see mr. Rousseau. Is he around? That's very funny. You see, I'm a Rousseau. What I can do for you. My name is Cassidy, mr. Rousseau And this is California Carlson. We brought out the ship and a cattle that mr. Caldwell bought. Oh, sure I hear him a talk about you. I understand you saw him at the ship this afternoon. That's right I make him a little visit to have a little talk. Why mr. Rousseau your friend Caldwell was found in his cabin Unconscious just a few minutes after you left. What's he got? He'd been hit her with a head. He's lucky to be alive That's a do-bet. I wanted him to somebody Robert the money. I want anything about robbing him Rousseau How did you know about that? Well, I didn't know but why else somebody gonna knock him on conch? I asked you why else they tell me you knew where he hid the money. That's right. Oh, sure. Sure. I So where the just a minute that you don't think I'm gonna wait a minute. This belong to you, Rousseau I sure that's my stick pin. Where do you find that in Caldwell's cabin right beside his unconscious body? Well, that's not the possible. I lost it that stick pin couple of days maybe how long since you've seen Hank Grossman, Rousseau Hank Grossman Don't know somebody named Hank Grossman. Who's he? Never mind California, let's get back to the ship and Rousseau you better stick around where we can find you now just a minute All right, you got to tell me I take it easy. Take it easy. Just don't wander too far away But I want to go down and see mr. Caldwell. He's my friend. You know, I think that's a fine idea We'll be looking for you I'm sorry. That's all I can tell you Cassidy, but you see I didn't even get a glimpse of the beggar It happened just after Rousseau lived the door was still open my back was turned when I was struck down And you can't be sure about whether Rousseau was wearing a stick pin while he was here I can't I just don't know but I thought you were convinced this like a grossman is the man who robbed me I am mr. Caldwell, but I'm also convinced that he just did the dirty work and somebody else planted it I say that sounds plausible. Thanks, Wainwright. Well, what do you propose doing now? I found out the maritime office not far from the pier and there's somebody there all night a couple of things I want to check on there so California now see if we can find the place See you later, mr. Caldwell. I told Cassidy and do have a car now, won't you? I don't see how you expect find your way off this fear hoppy a little on finding that Mary time Don't tell me you let a little fog hold you back little fog Waterway to spend our last night in person. Oh stop complaining We hurry up. We might still get through with this business in time to have some fun I sure hope so, but what do you expect to Get your hands up and don't try anything funny get their guns, Jake. Well, if it doesn't sound like mr. Grossman Feeling better. I say it's me. All right, but don't turn around just keep walking right over to the edge of the pier Down them steps All right, stop right there hide their hands behind of Jake What do I do with the gun or some in that drink? Where they're going they won't need them Just where are we going anyway? Yeah, you'll find out sooner hurry up Jake. I might again All right get in the boat both of you lay down at the bottom there Right Jake Mind letting us in on your plan Grossman might be glad you cowboy a story simple We roll out the bay little ways hide him two anchors to your legs and over you go And our story parallel at pier 19 Assure that somebody besides third-mate Grossman was behind the attack and robbery of mr. Caldwell left the cattle boat to do some more investigating as They walked along the fog shrouded pier a voice from behind ordered them to put up their hands They were quickly disarmed and tied put in a small rowboat and told by Grossman that they would soon be thrown into the bay With anchors tied to their legs Loops like curtain stoned. I don't know Jake didn't do too good a job dying my hands. I can just work. I'm loose You better hurry. I can't watch mine. This is California. Our legs aren't tied yet Just a chance. You mean when they stop to tie those anchors to our feet They're gonna have to bend over. Yeah, sure. But it's not only chance Wait till I give the signal and kick you a man like a Missouri view. I got your hobby. I hope it works What do you have these cowboys like fish One of these anchors on the old games and you get the other one okay These things are heavy enough When you just eat us are about to have a dive in less California and free now I'm being a little more careful about it and then these pal Jake was I'll get you yet cowboy California. Let me get you on time. It'll be a pleasure I can get my hands out now. All right. Now. Let's fish out this wharf rather than tie him up Oh, I'll leave the farmer for you. Oh, come on. Give me a hand. All right I'll put a rope around in California, and we'll see if we can get this thing back to drop for me Be a miracle if we can find our way though That wasn't bad navigating for a cow and was it only missed this pier by two others probably a lucky thing We'll end is where we did that night watchman at the warehouse. We'll take good care of them see-going coyotes Yeah, now if we can just go around the other one. Yeah, then to assure stubborn Yeah, we got them dead to rights and they still won't tell us who put them up to all the others shouldn't take long to find out I've been up and down this year gangplank so much. I'm I'm beginning to feel like a member of the crew Maybe you can get the third mate's old job. Yeah, that's enough No, no chair not me not me. Come on. There's a light up in the pilot house. Let's go up and see the captain. Yeah He ought to be interested about his third mate. I Just wonder if that Jake was a member of this crew. I don't know. He seemed to know Groeschman pretty good anyway Looks like the captain's inside. All right I thought you'd gone ashore. We did captain and we almost went for a swim to swim I don't understand. Have you got a crew member named Jake Jake? Well, yes, yes, I signed on a Jake Richard just the other day friend of the third mate Why you're a third mate and his friend just tried to drown us in the bay. That's why Groeschman. Why I can't believe it Why he's always it? Why would they try to drown you Cassidy because somebody gave them orders to somebody that planned the robbery of Caldwell? Well, where are they now? Let's find them. I'll notify. I won't be necessary captain We put them in a nice safe place. Well, if somebody else is mixed up in this year Why not make Groeschman and Jake tell who it is. Yeah But right now we've got the other business below See that reminds me that Rousseau fella came aboard a while ago. Is he down with Caldwell now? Of course I know he is. No, we better get down there too, hadn't we Huffy? Yeah, you gonna be around captain? Hey, I'm staying aboard. Good. We'll see you later. Come on, California What you're looking for Huffy? I thought I had a silver dollar in my pocket. I guess I don't. What internation you want a dollar for now? I just wanted to try something. You got one? Yeah, sure. Here you are. Thanks You're all gone, Huffy. You're gone from local. What you throw it down there for now? We'll never find it Oh, don't get excited. What's a dollar between friends? What's it? Well, I'll be I hear it about folks throwing money away But I never thought I'd look to see the day when you throw mine away Forget it. Come on. Let's get down and see how Caldwell's making out. A lot better if I still had a six gun handy Yeah, so would I but you just hang on to that valiant pen and Oh, it's Mr. Cassidy in California. Come in. Father's feeling ever so much better. Well, I'm sure glad to hear Good to see you, Cassidy. Thanks, Mr. Caldwell. Hello, Wayne Wright. And how are you, Mr. Rousseau? Goes to find it. Thank you. Well quite a get together here Everything's fine captain. Nice of you soon class come in captain. I was about to tell Mr. Caldwell my ideas concerning the robbery Would you like to hear them? I by all means I say Cassidy. Have you solved the case already? I think so, Mr. Caldwell Go on old man. Tell us everything. Sure. What's in your story? What's happened? We were right about Grossman, Mr. Caldwell He's the one that robbed you and he tried to kill us a little while ago Hi, Joe. Did he really? Oh, no Yeah, but he was only acting on orders The man who planned everything knew we were going ashore and told grossman to make sure we didn't leave the pier alive I don't understand None of us really knew the world. You didn't have to He discovered our plans the same way he found the money was aboard and where it was hidden California Take that grill off the ventilator opening in the wall there right hoppy There she is now look inside Do you anything at the bottom of the shamp? Well, well, I'll be done. Here's a silver dollar What in heaven's name are you writing at Cassidy? Just this when you and the others were discussing the money and where to hide it Somebody could hear every word you said, but I I don't understand that ventilator shamp runs right up to the bridge And it's open and is right next to the pilot house Somebody listening up there could hear voices in the cabin as well as through a speaking tube Bye, Joe, then it's not for you. Look how he must have gone. Get him, California That ought to keep you in port for a while captain To hop along Cassidy Heavens, I should be carrying another bike. Say that rooster fella. I sure sets a pretty good table at that Didn't have him inviting us all to be his dinner guests. Well, how's the dinner? Do you like it to see food? Oh, that's great. Mr. Rousseau You know, I wouldn't want any of the bar 20 boys to hear me say this But that's seafood tasted better than many a steak. I've had But don't ever repeat that, please. Oh, we've enjoyed it so much. Mr. Rousseau That's the good I just to wish you papa could be it too. I know he does too But doctor's orders, you know next to trip you make the we do it again. How's that, huh? Thanks, Joe Vellin. That reminds me the shipping company said we'll be leaving tomorrow after all They're putting on another captain and third meet and thanks to mr. Cassidy the cattle will be aboard too Don't thank me miss Ellen California is the one who found the money in the captain's cabin. We owe you both a debt we can never repay I only hope someday you two get down to australia so you can see our ranch and be our honored guest You do it. Well, I can't promise anything, but we'll sure try good Oh, there's one other thing Father told me to order you both a pair of the finest six shooters made But you see, I didn't know much about that sort of thing. Well, I I say, uh, why not let them tell us what to get That's just what I had in mind How about in california? Well, I reckon better just get him a rifle for long range work miss ellen He doesn't have any use for six guns. Well, what do you mean? What's he going to use in close quarters if he doesn't have six? Just give him a belaying pin. He's pretty handy with one of those The send coffee in california is expanding adventure in san francisco title peril at pier 19 Next time we find them in the real grand economy of texas where their dangerous adventure begins as Death crosses the river Apollon Cassidy starring william boy does pan scribe and produced in the west by walter white jr Parallel at pier 19 was written by robert t smith All stories are based upon the caricatures created by parenty mofer.
