We Dive at Dawn Page #8

Synopsis: The crew of HMS submarine Sea Tiger have their leave (and assorted family problems) cut short when they are recalled for a special mission: sink the new German battleship Brandenburg. En route, they learn that their target has entered the heavily defended Baltic; rather than fail, they follow it. Tension builds as they approach their target. After the attempt, escape seems impossible...unless they can refuel in enemy waters.

They're coming. Get going, TI.

Hobson!

Lend a hand here.

- Is that the lot?

Let go aft.

Half astern together.

- Goodbye, Captain. Good luck!

- Goodbye, sir. Thanks for the oil.

(Shouts orders)

Please... report...

Sea... Tiger...

returning... to... base.

Probably surprised at seeing us.

What are they saying?

Congratulations...

Captain, sir, they're putting out pennants.

"Well done, P61."

- Stop boat.

- Stop boat, sir.

(Cheering continues)

- Grand job, Taylor.

- Thank you, sir.

Better than my fishing smacks. You really

must have used Old Moore's Almanack.

Well, actually, it's all done by mirrors.

I'm just pushing off,

so you'll have to wait for that double.

- Goodbye, sir.

- Good luck, Humphries.

- Good luck, David.

- Thank you.

(Lively chatter)

Mike!

Oh, Mike, it's lovely to have you back, safe.

Ethel! Me darling!

- Hello, Arabella.

- Arabella?

- Arabella?

- Gladys!

- Tug, isn't this wonderful?

- It's exciting, isn't it?

Well, so long, Dicky. You must show Gladys

your new tattoo sometime.

- Gladys?

- You heard.

Daddy!

- Hello, Pete.

- I saw your submarine.

- Did you?

- Yes, Daddy.

- Did you see her coming in?

- Yes, Daddy.

You didn't know she brought a battleship

with her, though, did you?

No, Daddy.

Look what I've got for you here.

- Ooh, Daddy!

- Hello, Jim.

- Hello, Alice.

- Mummy, Mummy!

Look what Daddy brought me.

A battleship.

Yes.

Better be getting home.

Aye.

Well, enjoy your leave. This time

I suppose you will be seeing your aunt.

Yes, all of them, sir. Excuse me.

Gordon, are you going to the wardroom?

- Get me Grosvenor 2777, will you?

- Yes, sir.

There's the Sorceress.

Just going through the booms.

One comes in, another goes out.

Just like running a ruddy bus service!
