 All aboard for the transcribed premier production the cruise of the Paul Parrot that thrilling story of whaling days and buried treasure The trim ship Paul Parrot has landed finally at the secret island of Galto Whereas regrains the ship's owner along with Captain Dalton and our young friends Johnny Robbins and Sue Grange Expect to find the valuable mineral deposit indicated on the map originally drawn by Johnny's father and the lady Zeke will keep While the party is ashore endeavoring to locate the mineral deposit the two troublemakers Altusti and red moholy who have been imprisoned in the hold of the ship managed to escape and overpower first made George Wainwright who remained aboard to guard them then in a raging argument which develops between the two flutters Altusti is thrown overboard in a sea of man-eating sharks and red is left alone Red takes one of the whale boats and rose some distance out to sea around to the far side of the island So as not to be seen by the shore party. He finally beaches his boat in a little inlet and then Well, I ain't got Altusti to worry about no more Now I'm on my own I'll be a millionaire so help me And now that I've got this boat beached better hauler ashore and hide her someplace This clump of bushes should do There should be Now let's take a peek at our blooming island here Ain't much more than that big ugly volcano and I've been a woods about the base of it That enough hole a vast that looks like a cabinet the edge of the woods who could be there I better go over and have a look I better keep this gun handy. Here we are. I'll just throw the door open quiet like yeah, don't move where we are Empty I'll have a chance to look around Somebody coming Yeah Good fishing Grub for a couple of days now good fishing and decide you walk in skeleton and don't make no noise Hey for you your walrus. What are you doing on my island? This is mine. Fine. I tell you get off Years ago. I set foot ashore here and claimed it and it's mine and nobody is getting that mineral deposit But me I stole that there's plenty what knows of this island Galto that's what it's called and I know that much so how can you stand there and say nobody knows about it? That's what me and Jonathan Robbins named the place when we landed here for water years ago hold on there you swab You and Jonathan Robbins. Did you say I blanket walrus? That's what I said and however you come to know us tell that a minute your lover I gotta think I have to have it quiet when I think Hmm Jonathan Robbins was the father of that bloomin little sprout. That's our cabin boy Hold what's your name you mildewed old fossil? No man can call a zekeal kip a fossil without being swan So it's no it's not I say So you're a zekeal kip are you? blister and barnacles You're no ghost. Are you you're supposed to be dead dead? How do you know all this about me? It seems there's foul work a foot that nothing's a secret anymore Oh, man, there's a chance. We may be friends. We could do a lot for each other Listen to this mate years ago You and Jonathan Robbins discovered this island had rich minerals on it when you were sent a shore here from your ship for water You both held your peace and made a map of the place Intended to return when you were able to outfit your own break to mine the minerals and get rich from the Salem Oh, you know this. I don't know but it's the gospel truth In time you ran off with the map leaving Robbins with nothing for his pains But anger for you and hate for the sea he quit the life of a seafarer man and moved inland to farm Be that as it might there's no profit in going into matters. What's the past? Oh, I know what a blooming clever doggy I kept well though the map was all yours You had no chance to ever get back to the island So you sold it to Israel greens and then the rest of the story don't fit But here's is how I knows it a year or so ago You were supposed to have died and you told the story of this island to a spanyard named Al testy on your deathbed Well, Al testy and me was mates until today when the sharks got hungry. So that's how it is You know so much. I was down so sick of us and sure I was dying So it's old Al testy who was me matey then but it didn't die after all see I'm hailing hearty is a pine spore And last year I managed to ship back to this island where I jumped ship with one of the door He's in the middle of the night, and I've been working my claim since But now I see foul weather ahead hold on kept you've nothing to worry from me I'm willing to work with you But what you have got to worry about is on the other side of this bloody island How do you mean that blooming landslubber Ezra grains has a full-rigged ship in the harbor there And his whole blasted crew is out hunting for your treasures shiver me timbers This is the one thing I've been fearing ever since I sold him that map. I didn't need the map myself I know the place like a book But I might have known that a shark like him with a head for business wouldn't take long to follow up that map You see that's why we've got to hold together Maybe you're right me It's just us against the whole blooming crew But with my brains and your beef it should be smooth salons around their plans of ground I've asked them let's shake on it red moholy's the name agreed red shake But look here we best get to the leeward side of the island under full sail and see what we can see Yeah, no telling what they're doing right now. Now. Here's what I Now let's see we've assigned all the men to that task and we captain Hi, mr. Grange who scour on his party or to explore the north side of the island and jow it in his party the south side Nicholson and a few hands are scaling the volcano to investigate just how dangerous she is But captain dolton, how is it possible to tell just how dangerous a volcano can be? Yes, especially before it really erupts. I've been trying to figure that out myself Well, there'll be truthful. There's there's nothing we can tell definitely But we can make a good guess at it. I'd go further than that captain dolton As I understand it Nicholson's an old-handed exploring and he's come in close contact with just such a thing as this before You see volcanoes are found where the earth's crust is of inferior strength Areas or islands such as this one. We're on actually our ocean basins or areas bordering them Now when Nicholson finishes his inspection of this island and discovers just the formation of the earth's crust as near as he can He'll be able to form a pretty close opinion of just how active this smoky mouth can be Ah, you're right there, mr. Grange. Well, I sure hope mr. Nicholson's report is good Oh, I know it'll be a good one. We've just got to be able to stay on this island As I was saying mr. Grange The rest of the hands under the quartermaster are building cabins ashore for us to live in while we dig for the minerals Good, then that means the three of us yourself and dicken and I are free to follow up the map and see if we can find trace Of this mineral load, but answer. How about us aren't we coming with you? Yes, we'd want to help Blow me down, sir. You might know the youngest wouldn't be left in our way Well, it looks like Polly's for you Johnny and Sue. I see no reason why you shouldn't come along Yeah, suits me captain, but stay out of danger Now, let's look at this map Look, there's the harbor and the volcano And here's approximately where we are now close to the foot of the mountain Now the outcropping of the vein should be directly ahead of us on the lower slope. Let's set out here Excuse me, sir Sue and I were just sort of wondering what is the mineral that we're looking for? Yes, you know Ezra, he never has said just exactly what it is And although my father was one of the discoverers, he never said anything about it to me, you know He was so disgusted with the whole business. He never told mother or me anything about it Well, you can't blame anybody for being disgusted when his partner steals his possessions It was when that swab Ezekiel Kip ran off with the map that your father let to see wasn't it Johnny? That's right captain. Well, I'm not certain of the exact nature of the mineral It's one of two things that I know, but I'd rather not say until I see it I know it'll be easy to say because if it could be identified by two seamen who'd naturally know little of minerals Should be pretty obvious big in your part and says But this part of the underbrush don't look as if nobody ain't been here. What's that dicken? You think somebody's been here before us? Hi. Hi captain Dalton. Look here. Look Blow me down if that ain't a beaten part. Dickens, right? That is a pal Blow me down. This is serious. If anybody else knows about this, we've trouble on our hands Pally don't like to look for things either. He feels it. There's danger in the air There goes old smoky mouth again. Gee that rumbling is sort of scary Now wait a minute. Wait a minute. I think uh Yes, we should be almost at the beginning of the deposit The map shows it to be in a place just above a slight rise and there's the rise mr. Grange right ahead A sort of a little hill. Yes a sort of a little hill. You're right. You both have keen eyes here. Let's scale it Now bury your foot. Blow me down. Quiet, the bird dicken. His croak isn't very cheerful at a time like this Still that you're no man pelican. Fair enough without you, John. Have asked. Look, sirs. What is it now? Footprints Footprints in wet earth And not very old you may later that We'll have to proceed cautiously. Sue you and Johnny stay behind us. There's no telling who may be here Yes, sir. Oh Ezra do be careful. Come ahead. We're at the foot of the rise now I can't see who'd know about this but us how testy and redder and irons aboard the pal parrot There could be no one else You're supposed one of the men from our crew who are exploring the island might have gotten here ahead of us and left those footprints I don't think so. Mr. Grange. They didn't go this way at all Well, we're at the top of the rise and the deposit should be right over look Blow me down. Lash me to where you're done. Why the place is all dug out. Why there there's a regular mine there So look Mr. Grange, this couldn't be done in the short time Somebody's been working here for a long while. You can later that blow me down This bears licking over. I'm going to look around a bit. Easy there, Dickon. You can't tell what you may be running into Aye aye captain, but I don't think there's anyone here now If you wanted to stay on me shoulders stole that speech in a mere I'd tell me down if I For Lordy's disappeared. Lash me to a yard on he's tumbled into a pitfall Look, there's a regular trench dug all along covered with branches and when anybody stepped on it, he'd fall into the trench Step lively me hearties. We got to get him out Somebody built this blasted trenches a pitfall that trap anybody who tried to get to the mine As soon as we get thick and a lot from that hole I'll track down the rat who's done this thing Look those bushes up the hill behind the mine are moving and there's no wind I think there's somebody up there. Ahoy there, whoever you are Show your colors or I'll shoot This does look like trouble captain Dalton and his friends may be able to get dicken out of the pitfall But even then they don't realize whom they're up against They don't know that red mohooly escaped from the paw parrot Nor do they know that Ezekiel kip one of the discoverers of the mineral deposit is not only alive But on the island working his claim How will this affect range's claim to half the treasure and what can this valuable mineral be? To clear up the increasing mystery which surrounds our friends We'll have to wait for the next adventure in the cruise of the pawl parrot your pawl parrot announcer is dav ward
