told me. by the way, where is charlie? oh, he decided to try my faro game. he said he felt lucky tonight. oh. well, your health, madam. cheers. understand you're all planning a sea voyage, around the horn to boston. yes, ma'am. we got first-class passage on the clipper ship jessica. and we sail day after tomorrow. why are you quitting the wagon train business, major? well, it isn't so much that, ma'am, but, you know, we've never been on a sailing boat before. we've never seen boston, and really it's just that i'm tired, bone tired, of sitting in the saddle 16, 18 hours a day. all those days just sitting up there on that boat. i can hardly wait. well, you don't have to wait. have a nice voyage. hey. hey. this drink! deliver them to the sea witch before dawn, all three of them.

( hull creaking ) hey, bill. bill, bill! wake u u come on. hey, charlie. charlie, is that you? come on, wake up! whoo, something sure smells. say, what are we doing in a buffalo hunter's camp? never been in any buffalo camp that smelled this bad. you all right, charlie? where are we, anyway? i'm all head. ooh, man. major, look! we're on a boat. we're what? that's it, the jessica. when'd we get on in? what are we doing down here with these stinking hides? we paid for first-class cabins. hey, i've been robbed, my pants. how'd they get 'em off over these boots?

yeah. bettereret 'em on. we'll go find out what's going on here. major, you know what i think? remember that pretty gall belle and those two fellas? well, they dry-gulched us. we've e en what they call shanghaied. that's silly, bill. only sailors get shanghaied. this outfit bettererave a gol-darned good explanation for this. come on, let's get out of here. open up there! go ahead, swabby. make any trouble, i'll bust your head open. i was just coming up-- lay topside! captain cobb wants to have a look at you... lubbers. now, listen, friend-- i'm first mate, and you address me as mr. ferris. when i give you an order, you jump. now, lay topside, you chowderheads. on the double!

how far are we from land, mr. ferris? only one mile, whiskers, straight down. ( laughs ) come on, lay aft. what? aft. aft. come on, come on. come on. there they be, captain, not a sailor man amongst 'em. there's a couple of things i'd like to find out about. who gave you permission to speak? when i wish you or any other deckhand to speak, i will let you know. until then, you will keep your mouth shut. now, what did you wish to say? speak up, man! adams: well, there's been some kind of a mix-up. we bought and paid for our passage around the horn to boston. first-class passage, too! on the jessica! this is not the jessica. it is the sea witch, and though our course is around the horn, i am bound for new orleans, not boston. you are not passengers; you are deckhands,

give or take a week or two. be reasonable, man! captain cobb, we spent practically all our lives in the saddle. there isn't anything we don't know about horses or cattle. ow about. we know how to round them up, how to brand them. we've fought so many of them i couldn't begin to count 'em. but we're not sailors! you will be! before i'm through with you. come, patricia. aren't they wonderful? did you hear them, miss minnie? yes. come and solve these probobms now. i don't know how anybody can eat that swill. how does he do it? i don't know. i guess if you get hungry enough, you can eat anything. yeah, but that's his second helping. that's my plate he's started on. i've always got an appetite for anything i don't have to cook myself.

just think of poor old mccullough, riding all the way back there to st. joe. what do you think he's eating? hardtack and jerky. maybe a little old scrawny rabbit, if he's lucky enough to catch one. figure mccullough's somewhere around wyoming, huh? oh, he's not the far back yet. he's in hostile indian territory, that's for sure. n train scout now full-blood brother. no more war between us. thank you, chief. now. we will eat. brother wolf, i've never seen such a wonderful feast... with such beautiful waitresses. ththk you. tell more about major adams.

so as bad off as we are, we're better off than mccullough, i think. anyway, they're sailing around the horn and they're traveling first class, havivi a wonderful time, eating like kings... ( groaning ) how long does a man haha to feel this way before he's allowed to die? you'll live, boys. look! you the cook on that wagon train you're always bragging about? yes, sir, i was the cook. get to the galley. you're ship's cook from now on. and don't make any of that fat, greasy swill! ( gagging ) why aren't you eating your supper, pat? i don't want any more, daddy. she hasn't any fever. why isn't she eating? it's possible that she isn't hungry. o meat once in a while? nonsense. what's the matter, pat? buffalo meat? what's this about buffalo meat? did you ever taste it?

where did you hear about it? i heard one of those wagon train men talking about it. oh, he told you about it? no, not me. he was telling a sailor. i just heard h h. wong! yes, captain? buffalo meat is terrible, isn't that correct? you say so, it is, captain. cook on a spit with onions and basted with whiskey? very good! yes! that's all, wong. take away her plate. yes, captain. i don't want to hear any more about it. doesn't she have schoolwork to do? she has. then go do it. but i bet you never even tasted it! how is my daughter's education coming along? in some things, fine... and in another, more important thing, not so fine. such as... one thing, to act like a girl,

we've been all through this before. matthew cobb, you simply can't r rse your daughter onboard ship. nobody can. this whole past year i have tried to. i don't want to hear any more about it. miss minnie, you are employed to teach my daughter. in the future, you will see to her education and i will tend to the other matters. and as models to emulate she shall have nothing but crude seamen, wear the clothing of a boy? it's not fair! i will hear no more of this! ( door opens ) excuse me. why... hi thehe, sonny. hi, except i'm not a boy. well, you sure could've fooled me. ( chuckles ) i don't think i've seen you before. how come you're onboard? i'm patricia cobb,

captain cobb is your father? yes, my daddy, like i iold you. could i please talk to you? well, sure. come on over here. just talk away. were you really a wagon master? yes, ma'am, i was. and did you really fight indians? well, sometimes... and sometimes i skedaddled just to save my scalp, too. how wonderful! well, sure! what is a wagon train, exactly? does it have an engine with a whistle? no, honey, it... ititoesn't have an engine and a whistle. a wagon train is sort of like a town with a hundred or more houses, except they're on wheels, and in each house is a family with... boys and girls like you, and they're moving. they're going west.

patricia! what are you doing out of your cabin at night? this is major seth adams. he's been telling me all about wagon trains and indians and-- oh, this is miss minnie jellison. she's my teacher. howdy, ma'am. excuse me. if i seem surprised, it's because i am. i didn't know we had a lady onboard. and i suppose you didn't know that patricia is not permitted to fraternize with deckhands. but i asked d m to talk to me! captain cobb does not allow her to associate with any sailors. onsiders them a a ry bad influence, rightfully so, i might add. seems to me the captain might be a little mixed up, ma'am. look at her, nice little thing like that dressed like a boy. i didndn even know she was a girl till she told me. if you ask me, any father that lets his own daughter be raised on a boat t ke this had better give some thought as to who's the bad influence before he starts blaming other people. that will be all! take pat to her cabin.

to talk to me! did you hear me? take her to her cabin. come, patriciaia if i ever see or even hear of you associating with mymyaughter again, i'll slap you in irons and keep you in the brig until you rot. aye, aye, sir. oh, and another thing. you will stop talking to my crew about buffalo meat. buffalo meat? get to the fo'castle. yes, sir. hear the news! all hands lay topside! hup! hup! topside! oh, you loudmouth! i'd like to catch that guy on the trail.

get off of me, will ya?! i used to complain about the jolting of one of those conestoga wagons. oh, man! give me my pants, will you? haven't heard so much noise since fredericksburg. ( wind, waves roaring ) hoist up on the sheet line! ( indistinct ) double reef to topsails. whoa! steady on, man! don't let her fall off to leeward. ( creaking ) ( clattering ) charlie, get outta there! you're gonna get killed. hello. jump to it. ( indistinct )

this is a nice place you've got here. kind of unusual for a sheriff's ofofce. do you keep your guns somewhere else? oh, i don't use 'em. oh? i used to be a prizefighter, remember? sure i remember. i got these hands if i need 'em, and well, i haven't hahato use 'em much. everybody around here knows me, and well, it's become a right peaceful town. none, uh, for you, willie? i ain't had a drop in over a year now, flint. here's to you. thanks. oh, alice! here, let me h hp you! i want you to meet an old friend of mine, flint mccullough. he was the scout on the wagon train that brought me out here. how do you do? get off work? you ain't changed a bit. ha ha ha! welllllooks pretty good. probably won't be to that one prisoner i got. he complains about everything. excuse me, flint. oh, uh... would you like to take a look at the cellblock? kind of special. why not? here you are, partner.

yeah, it's a throwback to the dark ages, that's what it is, a dungeon. look at the slop he feeds me. you don't know when you're well-off, friend. really, willie, those are nicer quarters than you find in most hotels. well, i've been trying a theory that there's no sense in treating a man like an animal just 'cause he broke a law. even the worst of them might get bebeer if they had a decent bed to sleep in. well, come on, let's have our supper here, and you tell me all about the major. i'll be he's having a great time, huh?

hi, charlie. hi, bill. i heard this morning that that land we see is chile on one side and tierra del fuego on the other. we're in what they call the straits of magellan. we're supposed t tbe in them about five days. we're going this way instead of around the horn. swenson tells me hardly any of these ships sasa around cape horn anymore. they don't, huh? say, that's good. needs a little more salt, though. what is it? oh, that? that's salt and water and wood ash. proves how bad this food used to be when laundry water tastes good. yoyoknow, charlie... yeah? be real easy to get off this ship with land that close. we can't go and leavee the major in the brig. yeah. ( whispers ) hey.

that captain better not get any ideas about hanging the major. if he does, he'll have to hang us first. you are aware of the seriousness of the charges against you? i am. your actions are subject to the most severe penalty i can impose. though i in no way approve of what you did, i find that there are mimigating circumstances. therefore, the charges against you are dismissed. what? you heard me, mr. ferris. d an order. he knocked me flat, and you're lettiti him off as if nothing had happened! mr. ferris, i am the judge and juju aboard this ship. my decisions are the law here. aye, aye, sir. no deckhand's gonna make a fool out of me. he'll wish he hung before i'm finished with him. trouble, mr. ferris?

but trouble. they're the ones that got him off.. it's a doomed ship we're on. as long as she's aboard, everybody'll have trouble. she's the jinx! you're a superstitious fool. i'm not superstitious. it's a fact. it's only facts i speak, mr. ferris. the master of a ship must make decisions based upon facts. in the turmoil of the storm, i acted upon the facts as initially presented to me. without discipline, a man couldn't even keep a river barge afloat. however, i do try to rectify any errors i've madede when i'm convinced that i've been wrong. i appreciate that, captain. there must be some sort of discipline, even in a wagon train. oh, there is, i assure you. these, um... these wagon trains, adams, where do the people come from? why do so many of them even want to go out west? are trying to find a new life, trying to find a better way of living for their kids than they had for themselves.. i know how you feel. you agree with miss minnie. you think that this ship is an unfit place to raise my daughter.

well, you're wroro, both of you. pat has everything she could wish for-- love, affection, care, everything. has she got children her own age to play with, to grow up with? i don't consider that essential. has she got a place to put her roots down, a place to belong to and friends to share it with? seems to me, captain, that nobody can grow up or feel very secure, very permanent, with the floor rolling under them all the time. you've been aboard long enough to know it's a deck, not a floor. your daughter may not think much about this now, captain. she may even grow to hate you... for tryingngo make her be the son that you always wanted. you've got a nerve, saying a thing like that to me. well, captain, it's the truth as i see it. and there's another thing. miss minnie. what about her? tell me, how come you didn't hire an older woman, less attractive, for pat's teacher? what are you getting at? it just seems to me, captain, that having

not very good for the morale of your crew, is it? for their morale or youou? adams... i apologize for unjujuly punishing you, and now i consider that our accounts are square. i adadse you to keep them that way. now, go back to your station. yes, sir.

i am, uh... polishing belaying pins. i never heard of sucuca thing. oh, the mate just thought of it. i'm not surprised. i'm not surprised at anything that happens onboard this ship! is there anything i can do, miss? go on. i'm sorry. it's just that-- that i'm so angry and mad that i could... now it's all my fault that patricia no longer likes the ship... and yours, of course, for exciting her interest in the west. tell me, why does he insist on raising the child on this ship? well, patricia's mother died while she was giving birth to her.

that he made a vow he'd never be absent from his daughter again, never leave her alone. so, since he lives at sea, so does she. oh, there... there are times when... when matt is so sweet and so gentle could faint from the joy of it. then there are times like tonight, when-- when he is as temperamental and unpredictable as the weather! i guess you've been in love with him a long time, haven't you? ever since the first time, when he... i'm not in love with captain cobb! i'm-i'm simply an employee who happens to be very devoted to her job of teaching his daughter... the three rs. mm-hmm. does it really show that plainly? i mean... my loving matt? well, miss minnie, a woman as beautiful as you

to live on a cargo ship like this, not for a sasary. well... i guess not. oh... if i only knew how to cope with it, what to do. you know, sometimes... a man doesn't realize what h hhas till he's lost it. suppose, miss minnie, that you got off the ship at new orleans. leave? mm-hmm. well, who would look after patricia? well, that's the captain's responsibility. it's his daughter. the point is if captain cobb lets you leave, you'd be better off without him. that is, unless you like to suffer. some womeneno. well, i certainly don't. but leave pat and... and never to see matt again?

i didn't steal it, mr. ferris. shh. i've been thinking about what you said about the woman. the angel of death for all of us! e. the watch at the quarterdeck is at the helm. there's nobody about. if you really think she's a jinx, people fall overboard lots of times, get lost at sea. aye. aye, that they do. i could savevehe ship! my mates'd thank me for it.

lay topside. i ain't happy with the job you did on the belaying pins. ( thunk ) you're just achihi to have me come to the end of my rope, aren't you, mr. ferris? most powerful ache i ever had. do something, adams, something with no "mitigating circumstances." no thahas, mr. ferris. no thanks. lay topside. come on! ( minnie screams ) what's that? who's there? miss minnie! get captain cobb. she's out cold, mr. ferris. i was just coming up from the fo'castle when i heard her scream, and then i heard somebody run off over there.. minnie! what happened to her? we found adams kneeling over her. daddy! daddy, i tried to yell, but i couldn't, i just couldn't!

yes, and i saw her with him before, too. but patricia-- put him in the brig! ( crying ) you u n't be in a brig long this time, major adams. by sunset tomorrow, you'll be hanging by the neck on the highest yardarm of the ship. you hope. thank you. you feel better now? i'm fine. you know, matt, it may not be very ladylike to say so, but it was worth being bruised if only to find out that you're capable of worrying about me. well, of course i was worried. a thing like this...

i was standing at the rail, thinking about something that major adams had said to me. then he was with you earlier. why, yes. i met him on deck after i left my cabin. he spoke for a moment, and then he said good nightht and went forward. ( mumbles ) what? oh, nothing. it just confirms something that pat said. go on. well, suddenly from behind, somebody grabbed me, my throat. he was trying to throw me overboard! it's true. he was trying all the time to lift me over the rail. you didn't see who it was? well, you will tomorrow when i hang him. oh, i don't know how i could've b bn so wrong about that man. you know who it was? minnie, it was major seth adams.

but major adams... i don't believe it. evidence of eyewitnesses is difficult not to believe. but-- major adams was absolutely sober when i spoke to him, and it was only a few minutes after he left that this happened. no, matt. no, it couldn't have been him. the man who tried to strangle me, he was drunk. he was so drunk that i almost gagged and also if it had been major adams, why, i wouldn't be here right now. why, he could lift two like me over the rail without even trying. oh, no, not major adams. anything else, maybe, but not rum. rum dodot set well with the major. he gives me his rations almost every day. you telling me the truth? swear on a stack of bibles, captain. you're a prey good cook, biddy.

say, i haven't seen the major this morning. next time i see him i'm gonna ask him about this. he's in the brig again. oh, no. not again. i heard him tell miss minnie to getetff the ship at new orleans and leave you and me and everything. daddy, he wants to marry her. well. what did she say to that? well, i couldn't hear very wewe, but you won't let her do it, will you? i hadn't thought too much about it, pat. now, pat, listen. i want you to o y to remember real hard. was this talk you heard before minnie got hurt? mm-hmm. what did you do then? well, after major adams told her good night, i went back to my bunk, but i couldn't sleep very well, 'cause i was t t worried about her leaving us. did you see him come back? mm-hmm. you saw him sneak up behind miss minnie and try to throw her overboard? did he do that?

and went to the window to look, and that's when i saw him. saw who, major adams? mm-hmm. he was kneeling over miss minnie. she was lying with her faceceight on the deck, and then he rolled her over. oh, daddy, i'd just die if miss minnie went away! i just love her so. hey, hey, hey. now, wipe that up. ( gibbering ) pull yourself together, man. we'll never make port.t. i can feel it. just keep your wits about you. everything'll be all right. all of us are marked for doom now. quiet. you're a fool. all i know-- when you try to cast out the devil and you fail, the penalty's death, mate. listen--! can't you smell it all around you? listen, you. just keep your mouth shut, and nothing's gonna happen. i shouldn't have listened to you. yeah, you put it up to me. oh, i'd never have tried it without your eggininme on. why, you-- ( thud )

oh! go to my cabin. get the cat o' nine tails. strip ofofhis shirt and spread-eagle him to the main mast. you're gonna flog me? till there's no strength left in my arm to lift the whip. put him up! ( yells ) go in and get that man! sharks! get my rifle! ( screaming )

well, there she lays, new orleans. ain't she pretty! yeah, but them lights still look a long ways off. fore dark, so the captain's gonna anchor out here. we'll sail in at dawn. captain wants to see you. huh? what have you done now, major? i haven't done a gol-darn thing. you sure? 'course i'm sure! think he's lying? come in. you, uh, sent for me, sir?

yes, sir, i am. i won't try to preventntt, providing you disembark alone. alone, but--? that's'sxactly what i said-- alone. i will not let you go off arm-in-arm with minnie ananbreak my daughter's heart. you mean you're not gonna let miss minnie off the ship? that's precisely what i mean! i have the authority to restrict her to the ship juju as i can any of the crew! if pat wasn't involved in this, i'd say good riddance to both of you, but... how can a woman as essentially bright as she is even think of marrying you? captain, how did you happen to find out about this? my daughter, at least, is loyal to me. she told me. you may not know it, but she was listening the night you were talking to minnie, proposing to her ththnight she was attacked. oh. she must be out of her mind...

or whether you agree, but i happen to be as well respected on land as you are on sea, and as far as miss minnie's concerned, any man'd be an awful fool not to realize what a wonderful wife she'd make. it is not necessary for you to describe her virtues to me. i am well awararof them! then surely, sir, you can understand how i might happen to ask her to marry me. now, hear this, adams, and remember it. don't try to get off this ship with her! she is not leaving, even if i have to-- if i have to lock her in the brig! will that be all, captain? that will be all! thank you, sir. oh, miss minnie, i got a hunch that captain cobb's gonna want to see you in about two shakes. do yourself a favor, will you? no matter what he says or does, just remember to act like you know exactly what he's talking about,

will you step into my cabin for a moment, please? yes, captain. uh, sit down, minnie. thank you. what i wanted to say was that i, uh... well, i-i... how could you do this to pat and me?
