Oh my poor little Sue. Why did you run in the line of fire? Let me out of mr. Grainge I'll see how badly injured she is. I'm not injured at all Captain Dover. But Sue you fell you must be hurt So are you sure? Isra, I'm not hurt. I fell so that Privateer briscoe would think he shot me and threw him off guard Blow me down. What a lass. Oh, sure. That was quick thinking for sure. Lush me to a yard on the foot So you've given me enough scares to take ten years off my life since we've been on this cruise But I did it to save Captain Dawson I Lass and that you did that thieve and pirate would have finished me if you hadn't jumped between us It looks like I'm beginning to owe my life to all of you first It's Dickon who knocked the pistol from the hand of that red old testy Then the time you young ones rolled the rocks down on Red Mulholly and Ezekiel Kip And then Joward and Buscara coming to the cave in the nick of time when Kip was shooting at us from the rear of the cave And now you Sue you've saved my life again. Blimey Captain Dawson, you've a charmed life. Solt me for a herring if you haven't Rocks all over it! I believe you're right there Dickon. Thanks to the help of all my good friends here. Oh, Sue. I'm so glad you really weren't shot. If anything had happened to you then I believe I would have shot that Dirk Risco myself. I was really frightened for the first time on this cruise when I saw you fall. How did you ever think of doing a thing like that? Well, when Captain Dawson and Dirk Risco were fighting, Risco was knocked down. Captain Dawson didn't see him reaching his shirt for that pistol, but I did. And I knew he'd shoot. So I figured that if I ran between them, it might throw Risco off guard. And that's exactly what it did. But look at the chance you took. You might have been hit. What of it? Captain Dawson has been in danger more than once on our count. And I'd rather be shot myself than see Captain Dawson hurt. I'm sure proud of you, Sue. You're awful brave. I don't know that I would have been brave enough to do a thing like that. Oh yes, you would, Johnny Robbins. You're the bravest boy I've ever known. That's why I like you so much. Gosh, Sue, I've been hoping you'd say you like me. Because since we've been on this trip together, I've learned to like you a lot too. Then I was thinking... Thinking what, Johnny? Oh, thinking that maybe when we get a little older, that... Well, you... What, Johnny? Oh, that... maybe we... The last to port you, young man. Sue, Captain Dawson wants us over there. Gosh, why did he have to call us right this minute? Yes, Captain Dawson. We'll be right there. I wonder what he wants. Look, who is that strange man he's talking to? I don't know. He doesn't look like a privateer. Here, Sue and Johnny. Come here. I want a friend of mine to meet you. This is Mr. Lawrence Stanhope, the owner of the home that Privateer Briscoe was trying to raid. Lawrence, this is little Sue, Mr. Grange's sister. This is Johnny Robbins, my cabin boy, whom I've learned to care for as a brother since we've been on this voyage. Bravins, both of them. How do you do, Mr. Stanhope? How do you do? I'm mighty proud to meet the both of you. Captain Dawson was just telling me how you saved his life a while ago, Miss Sue. That rascal Briscoe, you should have put him in ions, Roy. Where is he, Captain Dawson? I did as I promised him. Two of his men carried him away to his boat and they've set sail. We'll inform the island authorities of their deed. Wainwright's going to take care of that now. Oh, but you shouldn't have let them get away, Captain Dawson. I promised, lad. Rather than take a chance on some of our party being hurt and to save Mr. Stanhope's property, I promised. And in spite of the likes of Dirk Briscoe, I had to keep my promise to him. It's too conscientious you've always been right for your own good. Maybe, Lawrence Stanhope. Maybe. Captain, everything's been taken care of, Captain Dawson. Wainwright and his party saw the Briscoe's murder and cruise at sail. But excuse me for saying it, sir. I think it is wrong in letting the lovers get away. Perhaps, Dickon, but it's the only thing I could do. But what about Wainwright and Mr. Grain? Well, uh, they've stolen for the other side of the island to get the explosives, sir. Why are we staying here, Captain Dawson? Yes. Why didn't we all go to the other side of the island? There's a precaution, that's all. Half of the crew's gone with Wainwright. They'll get the necessary explosives and inform the authorities about Briscoe. And we're staying here with the rest of the crew to see that Briscoe and his cutthroats don't come back this way. That's mighty quite of you, Roy, old friend. I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay you for this. Oh, it's nothing, Lawrence. A sight of such a friend as you is payment enough. It's been years since I've seen you. You know, I've often wondered where your sails were set, Roy. Oh, but see here, old man, we're wasting time. All of you must come to the house, as my family will be most happy to meet you, all of you. And it's happy we'll all be to meet them. Blow me down if we won't. Well, come along, then. Go ahead of us, Miss Sue and Johnny. We'll go right to the house. We've succeeded in putting out the fire and the stable those brigands started. And fortunately, they didn't get the chance to fire the house. And what are we going to do, Captain Dawson? Well, as Mr. Stanhope said, we'll all go to his house and stay there for a while. That is, you two young unstickin' and myself, until Mr. Grange and the crew get back with the explosives. The rest of the crew remain on the lookout to see that Briscoe doesn't return. And while you're here, I'll see that you all get some good English cooking. I daresay you could stand a bit of it after some of the things you've all been through, eating board, ship and the like. Oh, but Lawrence, won't this be too much trouble? Oh, not at all, not at all, old man. Mrs. Stanhope wouldn't think of anything else. Then what will we do, Captain Dawson? Well, when Mr. Grange and the men return with the explosives, we'll set sail for Galto again. You know, I have an idea. The sooner we return, the better it'll be. Captain Dawson, I agree with you. What will keep our Captain and Red Mulholly out of the way? We should have smooth sailing ahead. All that remains is to recover the diamonds in the mine on Galto Island and then set sail for home. Aye, aye, let's hope it'll be smooth sailing, as you say. But suppose we should have more trouble with Dirk Briscoe and his privateers. Yes, and there's no telling what they'll try if they get away safely. There is something in what you say, Johnny and Sue, but... I don't think we'll hear from them again. Well, I oaks, you're right, Captain Dawson. Ah! Speak the door, ye men. It's a good thing we sighted this island. But with those British lovers on our trail, we'll hide out here on this far side of whatever island this is and maybe we'll be safe for a while. Speak, I say, and be fast about it. It's lucky for you, Captain Dawson, kept his word to you, Briscoe. He had you down for fair. Silence, you dog of the sea. I'm a better man than Dawson, you may later that. It didn't seem so on the beach at Ascension. Grat you, Hollings. I should thrash you for that, even though you're an army mate. And it's Captain Briscoe to you who remember that. Aye, but it is no honor to Captain a privateer, it ain't. Why are you sailing his first mate on it, then? That was all the same as sharing hide I was. This started out for corporate did and it turned out to be a privateer and not a very good privateer at that. Hold your tongue, dog. Men make the boats fast. That's it. Fall them in these bushes so no passing ship will sail. I wonder what island this is we're on. What difference does it make, you lover? It's an island. It means a place to hide for the time being. Hold. What's that? Quiet, you lover. There's someone making through the brush and back of us. Here he comes. He doesn't see us yet. Look, the lover's a tough one for fair. Most likely a derelict. Alas. Stop where you are unless I drop you in your tracks. Who's there? Who are you? Never mind who we are. Who are you? My name's Mulhooly and I'm heard. I'm caught in the wake of a bloomin' volcano. Mulhooly. Red Mulhooly. What's that? How do you know they calls me red? Because I know you, Red Mulhooly. That's why. I don't know you. Who are you? Take a good look, Red Mulhooly, and try to remember. Stay with me, Reagan. Dirk Brisco. I, Dirk Brisco. The same Dirk Brisco you knifed in the back many years ago at Singapore. Dirk Brisco. But then was many years ago. It was your life from behind. Besides, I tell you, I'm hurt bad. You wouldn't take advantage of an injured man. Maybe. Maybe not. That remains to be seen. What are you doing on this bloomin' island? Listen, Brisco. I'll make you a proposition. What kind of a proposition, dog? Listen. Let bygones be bygones. And I'll show you a fortune. Sounds interesting. Go on. First off, you gotta say we're partners from now on. If there's a fortune in the wind, I'd go in partnership with a rat. Go on, I say. Do you know what island this is? No. Go to island. Do you know what's on this island? Get to the point you built scum before I capsize your hulk. And diamonds. What's that? Diamonds. A world of them. But they're covered up by a landslide and would have to blast to get at them. I've got explosives on board. That's easy. Who owns them? The people I sail here with. Ezra Grainge and Captain Dalton. Dalton. Roy Dalton? Aye. Do you know him? Do I know him? I'll say I know the worm. You says he owns this swag of diamonds? Well, the man he sails for does. It's all the same. Mulhooly, I'm going to forget our old grievances. That's talking, Brisco. I know you would. But for only one reason, Red Mulhooly. What's that, Brisco? Because there's one sailor I hate worse than you. And that sailor is Roy Dalton. I'll show him he can't fool with Dirk Brisco's affairs. The meddling dog. Diamonds, eh? So that's why Dalton was at Ascension Island for explosives to blast his mine, eh? Well, when he gets back here, there won't be any diamond mine left to blast. And Dirk Brisco will be a rich sailor. Diamonds, eh? So, Dirk Brisco and Red Mulhooly have teamed up to outdo Captain Dalton. Well, Mulhooly wasn't killed after all when Kip's cabin burned and collapsed. Captain Dalton, Ezra Grains, Johnny and Sue and the rest of our friends think they have easy sailing ahead. But what's going to happen when they return to Galto Island? Will Brisco and Red Mulhooly succeed in blasting the diamonds and getting away before they return? We'll just have to wait and find out when it's time to listen to the next exciting adventure in The Cruise of the Paul Parrot. Your Paul Parrot announcer is Dave Ward saying goodbye for now.
