Shipwrecked Page #2

Synopsis: Haakon Haakonsen didn't want to go to sea so young, but when his father, a Norwegian sailor, comes home with a badly wounded foot in the 1850s, the Haakonsen family finances require him to enlist as ship boy aboard a British ship under Royal Navy authority. After some hazing he buckles up to learn the hard work and gets accepted by the rough crew. Then Royal Navy lieutenant John Merrick is welcomed to take charge of security on a long voyage to Sidney and Calcutta, through pirates-infested waters, but Haakon distrusts him after finding out that he packed concealed weapons; indeed Merrick secretly poisons the captain. Haakon and his guardian angel, his father's best mate Jens, were about to feel the claw of the cat for helping a stowaway when a rock wrecks the ship. Haakon washes up an island where he finds a pirates treasure and weapons.

Are There Rules About--

I Mean--

Spit It Out.

What's On Your Mind ?

If A Mate Knows Something

About Another Mate,

Or-Or An Officer--

Kind Of A Secret--

I Mean--

If He Knows That Someone's

Got Something On Board...

That Maybe They Shouldn't,

Should He Report Him

Or Not ?

Has Someone Smuggled

Some Rum On Board ?

[ Chuckles ]

Don't Worry So Much,

Hakon.

I Just Want To Be

A True Sailor, Sir.

I've Never Known A Truer.

Now For That Secret

Of Yours,

Sleep On It.

And In The Morning,

If You Feel You Should,

Come And Tell Me

About It, Hmm ?

Yes, Sir.

Good Night, Sir.

Good Night, Hakon.

[ Chuckling ]

Ay, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi,

Yi, Yi.

He Needs Rest, Lad.

I Have To Talk To Him.

Oh, No.

[ Footsteps ]

So, How Is

The Captain Today ?

His Temperature's High.

Mm. Most Likely,

But No One Else

Is Sick.

I Haven't Seen Ship's Fever

He Maketh Me Down

To Lie

In Pastures Green

He Leadeth Me

The Quiet Waters By

Now There Could Be

Plenty Of Explanations

For This Cargo.

- Like What ?

- To Use Against Pirates.

Then Why Does It Say Glass...

When It's Guns ?

Now, Listen.

Captain Howell Is A British

Naval Officer, Hakon.

He Is Here To Protect Us.

It's Not Our Place

To Question How He

Does It. Come On.

Sir, We've Been

Working Hard.

Don't We Deserve

Shore Leave ?

Same As You.

Why ?

To Get Away

From Some Busybodies...

Who Want To Put Me

In An Orphanage,

All Right ?

Why Don't You Stay

They're Dead,

If You Must Know.

Why Do You Think

I'm An Orphan ?

I Have An Uncle In Calcutta.

That's Why I'm Going There.

That's Mine !

You Can Have It

If You Keep Quiet.

I Can't Read

Very Well.

And I'll Teach You

Anyway.

"Did Kubla Khan...

"A Stately...

Pleasure Dome Decree."

What's Xanadu ?

My Mother Said It Was

The Most Beautiful Place

On Earth.

Where Everybody Was Happy...

And Safe.

But It's Only In A Book.

It Doesn't Really Exist.

Yes, It Does.

[ Clattering ]

Huh !

Jens, It's All Right.

Foolish This Is--

And Dangerous.

Is For Not Reporting

A Stowaway ?

Lying Around.

I Thought Hakon Had

Smuggled A Dog On Board.

Will He ?

No. I Trust Him

With My Life.

I Want That Man

To Stand Forward

And Take His Punishment.

Is A Stowaway.

One Of You Has Been

Concealing Her...

And Stealing Food

For Her.

Point Out

Your Confederate.

You Give Me

No Choice.

Ow !

Prepare To Keelhaul

The Prisoner.

She's Only A Child !

Take Her Below.

Clap Her In Irons.

Aye.

Come On !

[ Thunderclap ]

So It Was You.

You Know The Penalty

For Hiding A Stowaway.

Give Me The Cat.

This Man Will Receive

40 Lashes.

No, Wait !

Jens Didn't Do

Anything !

It Was Me.

Hakon !

[ Hakon Groans ]

[ Grunts ]

The Cat

Will Kill Him.

[ Jens Grunts ]

Sir, You Can't

Do This.

[ Thunderclap ]

You Will Do It.
