Oracio Hornblower.

Love many years of course, that terrible day when the probability.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Of death and his feet stared me in the face.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
But I can close my eyes even now and feel
again that exhaustion and faintness that I dared not let
any man see.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
There's a nightmare pause in a nightmare battle.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Two partially disabled ships drifting rapidly apart, and each with
no purpose than to patch its wounds and return to
destroy the other.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I can see them a tibbet at again.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Now the scores clear it.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
So how does she bear about.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Two points of the stop at beza ah there so too,
it's a bit lopsided without her foremast.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
It seems have made no attempt as yet to wake
a new one. Well, as soon as we can carry
it and sail after as we can beat the window,
we will have it. At our mercy. We must try
and do it before nightfall. Mister Bullshon and or we
may lose her all together in the dark.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
And now what's this? It's the funeral party said, Oh,
they're already born out there. Uh how many boardings.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Very well, mister Bush have all hands, stop work, but
remain where they are. I intend no disrespect for the dead,
but the sentimentimously swift or the living may be endangered,
I should yes, we therefore commit their bodies to the deep.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
I think we checked the leaks, nouser to say, this
is fathered under the bottom and seems to be holding.
I've been able to release all but twenty men from
the pot them everything read enough of wasting the mask already.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Right now, mister Bush's it's important that nobody in hall
or carry out any movement except my orders. I still
try to use the pitching of the ship to help
him the raising of the mask. And if any man
acts without my orders, I'll have him plugged, iSER hand slimonless.
And so tell out of ten of those things to
go read into the.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Never do it. The ropes will slip off the mark
it jips away from.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
That's comfortable sweep and dick loraws on yours. The old man,
he knows what he's doing off.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
He does easy. Yeah, see that Nebot, the old man.
He's as the bows wing up.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Show he up to the mark that he did wing
the bows. Oh nice start, daddy, But I'll make no mistakes.
Oh wow, might have mistakes. I've never seen him, Mike
wind Oooh doesn't he looked tim their water.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Indeed, by the time the long and dangerous struggled with
the masters over and it stood vertical at last, while
the men fished it firmly to the stump of the
old Miszen.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I was sick with.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I've been on my Quarta decktor over eight hours, was
neither rest nor food through the stressened labor of the battle,
and I was beginning.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
To find it difficult to concentrate upon anything. The bush
it's complice. Before I could force myself to listen.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
I said, sir, that is a magis a piece of work.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
If you'll allow me to.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Say out, shall I set up the topmast and yards announcer.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I fear it will be useless to attempt to carry
any canvas in this wind and seems to bush and
then the tibidad is barely inside now, just a smut
on the horizon. Sir, there's not much Josh renewing the
action till the wind takes off of it. I cannot
imagine the Admiralty accepting that statement.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
And a report, but it's true enough, sir, where badly
knocked about. Wonder whether it's too rough to carry on
the fight. Nevertheless, the report of being received with pitying smiles.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Mister Bushes, and the excuses to old.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Like the uncharted rock which always causes a wreck.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
The Admiralty is ten thousand miles away, and they can't
judge the strength of his storm from there.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Even though I should be accused of cowardice, there's nothing
I can do until the whether or do it?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
No, sure there's not then that case, sir, why not
take a rest? You look mortally tired, sir, indeed you do,
let me said, and have a burst screened off you
in the wardrobe.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Little six, mister Bush, and you who need a rest
and dismissed the starboard, watch and go below and turn in.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
The enemy is inside. I shall stay on there. But
sure I think I gave you an order, mister Bush.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Ay, ay, say, good fellow Bush, but a fool, a
sentimental fool. He beat me like an old woman if
I'd let him, hm, I said, well, now, lady Barbara's
getting on that oh as that idiot of a steward, and.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I can't anybody gave me alone. Well, Paul, will, what
do you want?
Speaker 6 (07:40):

for a bit of you all up for us, that
you're all up.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But the wounded her in there that mostly quiet now, sir, Well,
I couldn't leave him at table.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Tear huh, I stand amate for her. She nicked him
to him like a bird, sir, to see took a
bit of grub two in her class of wine. She
did a very good well, now it's dons the reasons
that a fringe it in a sea like this, and
a better like what.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
We bought me there is, well, it's spit rough on
an eyeborn.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Leader's confine ourselves to fax and keep their opinions their self.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
While wheel the high born lady joined the ship of
her own free will, knowing that she was about to
go into action.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
And I said, now about use, here's some dry close
in the chestnut storeroom. I'm figure the last broadside dumb
prediting you, Kevin.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I don't want any dry close, of course you don't.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I wouldn't suggest it except.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
And will if it takes coal, sir, you won't be
fit women.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Catch it up with in the pivot dead.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Will it change our here, sir? Or come below?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Look if I just slashed this year, I am a
chair to the rail, Sir. You could sit there when.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
You've changed and had this to get me rum, couldn't you, sir?
Speaker 7 (08:52):
And this year boat cloak or keep some of the
spray off, kill me, but you won't have to leave
the death oil.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You presuming to give me orders? Order sir, me hope
so knows my place, sir. It's all right, mister Bush, Sir,
you can turn him now.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Captains in his chair and sleeping Michael Daddy.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Sir, good heavens, I must have dozed off. What time
is it? The Wonday?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
As impossible as after midnight, as black as the earl
of Hell's writing books. Hmm, fears to me, as though
the weather's improving.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Let's have a look at the binnacle, ah, mister Bush,
wind shifted southerly and moderated her, which is a bit
of starlight even curs. You're thinking that Gibby dad might
be twenty miles away, only two hundred yards, so that
she's close.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
She was going away to lewd rapidly when we loo.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I had to carry it out all the beast you
need in this weather.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
What do you think she'll do there? M that fellow
Crestel commands there is no fool.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I believe he'll try to avoid us until he can
get into the gulf with fun seeker and read it.
He'd like us to follow him into the gulf, so
he'd have the advantage of the shore.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Betters as well. But he can't make much sight in
his pripple condition, sir. But if he could, the wind
is wrong for getting to the gulf.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I had observed that fact, mister Bush.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I believe he'll reach far out to sea and cross
outward as far as he can. I shall return to
my chair until daylight and attempt to work out what.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He's likely to be his position at daw Aye, I.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Said, morey, sir, she's going darn faster than the winds
taken off. Some will be up in ten minutes.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yes, her next tale, if you pleas, mister Bush, here
is the course you were to sail.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
But as I gave the course. I knew that it
was share guesswork.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Every yard I sailed might be away from mentally the
dead one.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
She how he had saved it.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
My heart was.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Heavy with misgiving, for I knew that if I had failed,
there would be many would attribute that failure to incompetence
or cowardices. As the sun lifted over the horizon, I
(11:40):
faced the quarter deck with every appearance of unconcern, determined
not to allow anyone to guess of the doubts and
fear which tormented me. When the light should be sufficient
for the mast head lookout to scam the horizon, I
might be justified or ruined. And even my resolution to
remain calm must have waved when my gloomy thoughts would
(12:01):
pierced by a wild cry from alarmed.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
No, we've found her, sir, We found her. You are
right against her. Look, sir, you can see her from
here with a glass did a hey, ah, she's coming
round her, she's running away.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
As Cresper wishes to postpone.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Action, he prefers discretion to heroics, and quite rightly, mister Bush, however,
set every stitch we can.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Carry, send the hands to breakfast. If we engage there's
no telling when they eat again.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
If ever Hie eyes her hands done bread force, sir,
she'll not a get away this time. We've blow her
right out of the water.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Never underestimated a perner, mister Bush. Those twenty four pounds
hers are heavy metal.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
We have a sip which is leaking like a sieve
as a makeshift rig, and the sixty.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Four men short, and our firing force is far inferior
of her hearth.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Do you think the wind's going to hold her? Seems
to me as if the sun swallow it, wos get
it mighty hot. If we just our luck to lose
the wind. Now I can't trib it anymore. Hi, you're
at the wheel.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Oh here, small last year, I can't bringing your pardon?
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Ringing up wings, jelly, he's right away's gone. Sare hover
that sky it's like brass. And then that gate calm
and well out of range.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
We will tow with the boat. I have the launch
and cut a hoisted out. Oh today, gotters, crawl largest, crawl.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
All then.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Man, you've got a hard task, but it must be done.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
You've got to pull, pull, tell your muscles, cracking your
hands burst. I'll get your clothes off and pull naked.
I'll have you relieved in an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Now pull ahead, de way.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Oh look at that, mister Jarard. That Papa spoke from
the tivitad. Yes, she carried two long ageans off. We're
gonna run the gort thro.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
The rose for the next hour.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
That was nearer that pitty yards of our start at quarter.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Mister Jerard asked mister mass to see what he can
do with a long nine on our folks.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I know it's not my.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Fuse that they'll fear the men to feel that we're replying.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
He's wedding and wedding. May God, mister Mars show them
some shody.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Step I can't go, give me a dagger.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Two came away, then be good. Try again.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Here comes some more for us. That one got us
just above the waterline. Follow you, Oh, well down, mister
Mark right alongside her.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Hello, what do you have? Two about?
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Pretty hard hours round? Yes, mister bushwayh will now have
twenty five guns trained on us.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Instead of tools. She's positioning from the broadside. We will
have some pupples about our ears.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
A long lads, let's show him that Englishman don't care.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
They're about shooting not more than two hits, mister Garbery
as the main gun in stage.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Nice directly, mister Bosher, what distance what you would?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You will say?
Speaker 6 (15:40):
She is now or three parts of a mile?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I sud say her.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
So I think I fear our caronaides will not be
effective at that distance. Relieve the boat, scruc and see
if freshman.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Can pull us near that. It was intolerably hot.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
The smell of pitch from the deck seems a bitter
tang of powdered and the smell of the blood from
the wounded, combined with my fatigue and anxiety to make
me feel deathly sick. I feared to disgrace myself by
being sick in front of the men. They too, no
longer joked at the guns. They were beginning to soak
on the punishment.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It was a bad sign.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Sullivan, sera, Sullivan, you're your fiddle, I say I have that.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
When we'll have a hornpipe, den skin who mack of
ay hornpipe for me to be one a guinea for
the man who does his best.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
On five words.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Mister jerd this will be a tale told and retold
in years to come. How Captain Hornbrower had a shipped
toad into action with hornpipespeak Johnson her made dick.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
The lord's suns. I shot smashed at the pieces. I
picked her survivors up quickly and to see us full
of sharks start on the hell how dinner four hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And mister Gerard wised to begin to swing round.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
You may open power first as your guns were.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I can't go lut sair you can ha you have
another lads.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
I've been under them, so the captain Hargough. So mister
Hole sent me as well start a side chain on
not talk to pieces. My boy, Well he's thinking another
one so, but it would be an hour before it worked.
He told me to take in the waters gaining a
little song very well, please, there was fourteen mental not
(17:59):
to smash at the hump. Hordable Sufflet's see one man
to it till little boy. I'm back to mister Howl
and tell them captain a shout.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
That he will do his best pass. It's too much
smoke to see company, but it's my belief we've hit
her harder and found this smoke.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's like being in a park a crystal. What is it?
I think I can get her very like her baying.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Yes, I believe there is a look that look a
smoke blowing away shirt. Who just look at the thegibicate.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
She's a rick and then the honest of mouth, standing
rigging all rounder like a gate.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Another that great hole in her side, there's three gun
boughts that in the world. There she's low in the water,
but she's still fighting. By Heaven, were the hother should
the closer? We are the quicker with finishing.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And stand by the orders.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Ah, but can blow with great shuts.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Look, and I'm trustle they're going to tie for us.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Now sill like a killing it.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
I haven't cleaned my souls and musketful smack it with
sheet fish.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
There's no fooler. She's firing the curt fire. Why will
this surrender? Ever? I speak on the stitching. You must surrender.
You've got all that brave men can do. Can't buy
you fool you gips some fire surrender on a can
(19:40):
fans mad mister Bushman would call off, or we should
kept fire. Two bands of blazers there.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Five pm, sir, look at those plays. He's fine of himself.
I think not, mister Bushart was our guns at point
blank greens. You'll burn my boy sinking.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
This joy's gone by, and as she's never been it
will join me in a salute.
Speaker 1 (20:10):

And will if it takes coal, sir, you won't be
fit women.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Catch it up with in the pivot dead.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Will it change our here, sir? Or come below?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Look if I just slashed this year, I am a
chair to the rail, Sir. You could sit there when.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
You've changed and had this to get me rum, couldn't you, sir?
Speaker 7 (08:52):
And this year boat cloak or keep some of the
spray off, kill me, but you won't have to leave
the death oil.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You presuming to give me orders? Order sir, me hope
so knows my place, sir. It's all right, mister Bush, Sir,
you can turn him now.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Captains in his chair and sleeping Michael Daddy.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Sir, good heavens, I must have dozed off. What time
is it? The Wonday?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
As impossible as after midnight, as black as the earl
of Hell's writing books. Hmm, fears to me, as though
the weather's improving.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Let's have a look at the binnacle, ah, mister Bush,
wind shifted southerly and moderated her, which is a bit
of starlight even curs. You're thinking that Gibby dad might
be twenty miles away, only two hundred yards, so that
she's close.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
She was going away to lewd rapidly when we loo.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I had to carry it out all the beast you
need in this weather.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
What do you think she'll do there? M that fellow
Crestel commands there is no fool.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I believe he'll try to avoid us until he can
get into the gulf with fun seeker and read it.
He'd like us to follow him into the gulf, so
he'd have the advantage of the shore.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Betters as well. But he can't make much sight in
his pripple condition, sir. But if he could, the wind
is wrong for getting to the gulf.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I had observed that fact, mister Bush.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I believe he'll reach far out to sea and cross
outward as far as he can. I shall return to
my chair until daylight and attempt to work out what.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He's likely to be his position at daw Aye, I.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Said, morey, sir, she's going darn faster than the winds
taken off. Some will be up in ten minutes.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yes, her next tale, if you pleas, mister Bush, here
is the course you were to sail.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
But as I gave the course. I knew that it
was share guesswork.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Every yard I sailed might be away from mentally the
dead one.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
She how he had saved it.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
My heart was.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Heavy with misgiving, for I knew that if I had failed,
there would be many would attribute that failure to incompetence
or cowardices. As the sun lifted over the horizon, I
(11:40):
faced the quarter deck with every appearance of unconcern, determined
not to allow anyone to guess of the doubts and
fear which tormented me. When the light should be sufficient
for the mast head lookout to scam the horizon, I
might be justified or ruined. And even my resolution to
remain calm must have waved when my gloomy thoughts would
(12:01):
pierced by a wild cry from alarmed.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
No, we've found her, sir, We found her. You are
right against her. Look, sir, you can see her from
here with a glass did a hey, ah, she's coming
round her, she's running away.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
As Cresper wishes to postpone.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Action, he prefers discretion to heroics, and quite rightly, mister Bush, however,
set every stitch we can.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Carry, send the hands to breakfast. If we engage there's
no telling when they eat again.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
If ever Hie eyes her hands done bread force, sir,
she'll not a get away this time. We've blow her
right out of the water.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Never underestimated a perner, mister Bush. Those twenty four pounds
hers are heavy metal.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
We have a sip which is leaking like a sieve
as a makeshift rig, and the sixty.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Four men short, and our firing force is far inferior
of her hearth.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Do you think the wind's going to hold her? Seems
to me as if the sun swallow it, wos get
it mighty hot. If we just our luck to lose
the wind. Now I can't trib it anymore. Hi, you're
at the wheel.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Oh here, small last year, I can't bringing your pardon?
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Ringing up wings, jelly, he's right away's gone. Sare hover
that sky it's like brass. And then that gate calm
and well out of range.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
We will tow with the boat. I have the launch
and cut a hoisted out. Oh today, gotters, crawl largest, crawl.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
All then.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Man, you've got a hard task, but it must be done.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
You've got to pull, pull, tell your muscles, cracking your
hands burst. I'll get your clothes off and pull naked.
I'll have you relieved in an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Now pull ahead, de way.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Oh look at that, mister Jarard. That Papa spoke from
the tivitad. Yes, she carried two long ageans off. We're
gonna run the gort thro.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
The rose for the next hour.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
That was nearer that pitty yards of our start at quarter.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Mister Jerard asked mister mass to see what he can
do with a long nine on our folks.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I know it's not my.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Fuse that they'll fear the men to feel that we're replying.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
He's wedding and wedding. May God, mister Mars show them
some shody.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Step I can't go, give me a dagger.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Two came away, then be good. Try again.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Here comes some more for us. That one got us
just above the waterline. Follow you, Oh, well down, mister
Mark right alongside her.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Hello, what do you have? Two about?
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Pretty hard hours round? Yes, mister bushwayh will now have
twenty five guns trained on us.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Instead of tools. She's positioning from the broadside. We will
have some pupples about our ears.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
A long lads, let's show him that Englishman don't care.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
They're about shooting not more than two hits, mister Garbery
as the main gun in stage.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Nice directly, mister Bosher, what distance what you would?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You will say?
Speaker 6 (15:40):
She is now or three parts of a mile?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I sud say her.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
So I think I fear our caronaides will not be
effective at that distance. Relieve the boat, scruc and see
if freshman.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Can pull us near that. It was intolerably hot.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
The smell of pitch from the deck seems a bitter
tang of powdered and the smell of the blood from
the wounded, combined with my fatigue and anxiety to make
me feel deathly sick. I feared to disgrace myself by
being sick in front of the men. They too, no
longer joked at the guns. They were beginning to soak
on the punishment.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It was a bad sign.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Sullivan, sera, Sullivan, you're your fiddle, I say I have that.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
When we'll have a hornpipe, den skin who mack of
ay hornpipe for me to be one a guinea for
the man who does his best.

I've been under them, so the captain Hargough. So mister
Hole sent me as well start a side chain on
not talk to pieces. My boy, Well he's thinking another
one so, but it would be an hour before it worked.
He told me to take in the waters gaining a
little song very well, please, there was fourteen mental not

to smash at the hump. Hordable Sufflet's see one man
to it till little boy. I'm back to mister Howl
and tell them captain a shout.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
That he will do his best pass. It's too much
smoke to see company, but it's my belief we've hit
her harder and found this smoke.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's like being in a park a crystal. What is it?
I think I can get her very like her baying.
Speaker 6 (18:20):

sheet fish.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
