Action in the North Atlantic Page #10

---

they won't waste a torpedo on us.

They may surface.

Stand by here to break out this fire hose!

Stand by the fire hose.

Engine room. Let oil into the boiler fires.

- I want a smoke screen.

- We'll give it to you, mister.

Open up three, five and seven oil valves.

Radio room, send out S.O.S.

We're abandoning ship,

and don't believe it.

Look. She's surfacing.

- Hard right!

- Hard right, sir.

Rudder hard right.

Ship swinging right all the time, sir.

- Steady as you go!

- Steady as she goes, sir.

- Where do you think we hit her?

- That's a job for a glass- bottom boat.

What's going on here, Mr. Rossi?

Why doesn't anyone report to me?

Steve, you remember

when the old tanker burned,

and the Nazis rammed our lifeboat?

And you swore you'd find them

and slice them like a piece of cheese?

Don't leave the bridge,

and I'll talk to you later.

Aye, aye, sir.

Bos'n! Get that fire out. Get a move on.

You wanna go into Murmansk

looking like a tramp?

- How many more days to Murmansk?

- Oh, a couple, maybe three.

I keep pinching myself to see if I'm alive.

Keep pinching, will you?

We ain't there yet.

Hey, look.

I think they're on our side!

Famous last words.

No, they're ours all right.

Russian planes on the starboard quarter!

You sure you can make it?

I'll be on that bridge if Chips has to build

a frame to hold me up.

- How do you like that? Nice, huh?

- A regular Rembrandt.

You know, if we keep knocking off Nazis

like this,

they'll be commissioning us into the Navy.

The U.S.S. Seawitch.

Yes, sir. That's us.

It's a miracle.

That isn't a miracle.

It's American seamanship.

- That's a great welcome for you, Joe.

- Not for me, Cap. It's for the ship.

Put your heaving line on the dock!

- Hey, what does that mean, '"tovarisch '"?

- That means, "comrade." That's good.

Comrade, comrade.

That's the first time I ever wanted to kiss

a longshoreman.

What's wrong, Joe?

I'm just thinking about the trip back.

From the freedom- Ioving peoples

of the United Nations

to our merchant seaman on all the oceans

goes our everlasting gratitude.

With their aid, we shall build

a bridge of ships to our allies,

over which we will roll

the implements of war.

We shall see to it

that men and materials will be delivered

where they are needed

and when they are needed.

Nothing on land, in the air,

on the sea, or under the sea

shall prevent our complete

and final victory.
