Fair Wind to Java Page #5

If you've lied to me about this,

I'll choke the life out of you!

Sir, the American, Wilson,

has disappeared. Disappeared?

Have you searched the ship? Yes.

Well, perhaps

he slipped off the deck.

It's better. Saves us the trouble

of pushing him over.

The horizon to the rear is empty.

No sign of Captain Boll

or the Gerrymander.

How long before we reach Krakatoa?

We should be in sight of it.

Except for the morning mist.

We'll see Krakatoa from a distance

if the volcano is active.

A pillar of smoke.

It's not really dangerous?

It's not REALLY dangerous,

but it cannot be guaranteed.

I trust our good luck continues.

Take a look with this.

See if you remember anything.

Is the temple on the peak

the temple of the fire god?

Yes, I remember. The fire god peak.

Good, Kim, good.

The Gerrymander! That devil Boll!

We can hold him off with cannons,

while we go ashore.

Stay on board with a gun crew.

I'll take Blue and Flint ashore.

I'll take the girl. I will not go on

the island with you! Yes, you will!

CANNON FIRE:

The next volley will be closer.

We'll pull away, then sneak back in.

Stand by to come about!

Round up all the rifles

and ammunition. Aye, sir.

Well, Mr Blue. So the great Captain

Boll turns tail under gunfire.

Well, that isn't the first time.

Are you sure that's the temple?

Yes. The diamonds are there.

Listen.

The fire god. He's angry with us.

He will kill us.

Mere superstition. All active

volcanoes make that sound.

Kung, stay here with the girl.

Yes, sir.

The volcano looks dangerous. Maybe.

But there's more important things.

All right. Cast off!

Come on!

The diamonds must be in the temple.

This way.

Back to the boat!

Jess, take Kim Kim to her cabin.

Mr O'Brien, up anchor and set all

sails. Up anchor and set sail!

Mr O'Brien, swing the bow

toward the island.

Take all sail off her and rig

a sea anchor. A sea anchor?

Yes. When that blows

there'll be a tidal wave,

and I want to be heading into it.

Aye, sir.

Sir! She's going to try

to outrun it. It'll sink her.

Hang onto something!

Hang on!

Kim Kim, I've been thinking.

Remember you said once about women

being able to live on a ship?

Yes, I remember.

Well, I've been thinking...

You don't have any family left now.

Like you said,

I suppose women could...

Kim Kim, go and put on

your silver sarong and come up.

Please.

O'Brien!

Assemble the men on the main deck.

Aye-aye, sir.

We lost the diamonds,

but saved our lives.

There's still a big bounty for us.

Pulo Besar's town and his pirates

are still there,

and the Dutch are offering

a 100,000 guilder reward.

There's one more thing, I...

I'm getting married.

Today.

Mr O'Brien?

Aye-aye, sir.

We are gathered together in

the sight of God and this company,

to join together this man

and this woman in holy matrimony.
