Why are you quitting the wagon train business, major . Well, it isnt so much that, maam, but, you know, weve never been on a sailing boat before. Weve never seen boston, and really its just that im tired, bone tired, of sitting in the saddle 16, 18 hours a day. All those days just sitting up there on that boat. I can hardly wait.

When i wish you or any other deckhand to speak, i will let you know. Until then, you will keep your mouth shut. Now, what did you wish to say . Speak up, man adams well, theres been some kind of a mixup. We bought and paid for our passage around the horn to boston. Firstclass passage, too on the jessica this is not the jessica. It is the sea witch, and though our course is around the horn, i am bound for new orleans, not boston. You are not passengers; you are deckhands, give or take a week or two. Be reasonable, man captain cobb, we spent practically all our lives in the saddle. There isnt anything we dont know about horses or cattle. Ow about. We know how to round them up, how to brand them. Weve fought so many of them i couldnt begin to count em. But were not sailors you will be before im through with you. Come, patricia. Arent they wonderful . Did you hear them, miss minnie . Yes. Come and solve these probobms now. I dont know how anybody can eat that swill. How does he do it . I dont know. I guess if you get hungry enough, you can eat anything. Yeah, but thats his second helping. Thats my plate hes started on. Ive always got an appetite for anything i dont have to cook myself. Just think of poor old mccullough, riding all the way back there to st. Joe. What do you think hes eating . Hardtack and jerky. Maybe a little old scrawny rabbit, if hes lucky enough to catch one. Figure mcculloughs somewhere around wyoming, huh . Oh, hes not the far back yet. Hes in hostile indian territory, thats for sure. N train scout now fullblood brother. No more war between us. Thank you, chief. Now. We will eat. Brother wolf, ive never seen such a wonderful feast. With such beautiful waitresses. Ththk you. Tell more about major adams. So as bad off as we are, were better off than mccullough, i think. Anyway, theyre sailing around the horn and theyre traveling first class, havivi a wonderful time, eating like kings. groaning how long does a man haha to feel this way before hes allowed to die . Youll live, boys. Look you the cook on that wagon train youre always bragging about . Yes, sir, i was the cook. Get to the galley. Youre ships cook from now on. And dont make any of that fat, greasy swill gagging why arent you eating your supper, pat . I dont want any more, daddy. She hasnt any fever. Why isnt she eating . Its possible that she isnt hungry. O meat once in a while . Nonsense. Whats the matter, pat . Buffalo meat . Whats this about buffalo meat . Did you ever taste it . Where did you hear about it . I heard one of those wagon train men talking about it. Oh, he told you about it . No, not me. He was telling a sailor. I just heard h h. Wong yes, captain . Buffalo meat is terrible, isnt that correct . You say so, it is, captain. Cook on a spit with onions and basted with whiskey . Very good yes thats all, wong. Take away her plate. Yes, captain. I dont want to hear any more about it. Doesnt she have schoolwork to do . She has. Then go do it. But i bet you never even tasted it how is my daughters education coming along . In some things, fine. And in another, more important thing, not so fine. Such as. One thing, to act like a girl, weve been all through this before. Matthew cobb, you simply cant r rse your daughter onboard ship. Nobody can. This whole past year i have tried to. I dont want to hear any more about it. Miss minnie, you are employed to teach my daughter. In the future, you will see to her education and i will tend to the other matters. And as models to emulate she shall have nothing but crude seamen, wear the clothing of a boy . Its not fair i will hear no more of this door opens excuse me. Why. Hi thehe, sonny. Hi, except im not a boy. Well, you sure couldve fooled me. chuckles i dont think ive seen you before. How come youre onboard . Im patricia cobb, captain cobb is your father . Yes, my daddy, like i iold you. Could i please talk to you . Well, sure. Come on over here. Just talk away. Were you really a wagon master . Yes, maam, i was. And did you really fight indians . Well, sometimes. And sometimes i skedaddled just to save my scalp, too. How wonderful well, sure what is a wagon train, exactly . Does it have an engine with a whistle . No, honey, it. Ititoesnt have an engine and a whistle. A wagon train is sort of like a town with a hundred or more houses, except theyre on wheels, and in each house is a family with. Boys and girls like you, and theyre moving. Theyre going west. Patricia what are you doing out of your cabin at night . This is major seth adams. Hes been telling me all about wagon trains and indians and oh, this is miss minnie jellison. Shes my teacher. Howdy, maam. Excuse me. If i seem surprised, its because i am. I didnt know we had a lady onboard. And i suppose you didnt know that patricia is not permitted to fraternize with deckhands. But i asked d m to talk to me captain cobb does not allow her to associate with any sailors. Onsiders them a a ry Bad Influence, rightfully so, i might add. Seems to me the captain might be a little mixed up, maam. Look at her, nice little thing like that dressed like a boy. I didndn even know she was a girl till she told me. If you ask me, any father that lets his own daughter be raised on a boat t ke this had better give some thought as to whos the Bad Influence before he starts blaming other people. That will be all take pat to her cabin. To talk to me did you hear me . Take her to her cabin. Come, patriciaia if i ever see or even hear of you associating with mymyaughter again, ill slap you in irons and keep you in the brig until you rot. Aye, aye, sir. Oh, and another thing. You will stop talking to my crew about buffalo meat. Buffalo meat . Get to the focastle. Yes, sir.

I heard this morning that that land we see is chile on one side and Tierra Del Fuego on the other. Were in what they call the straits of magellan. Were supposed t tbe in them about five days. Were going this way instead of around the horn. Swenson tells me hardly any of these ships sasa around cape horn anymore. They dont, huh . Say, thats good. Needs a little more salt, though. What is it . Oh, that . Thats salt and water and wood ash. Proves how bad this food used to be when laundry water tastes good. Yoyoknow, charlie. Yeah . Be real easy to get off this ship with land that close. We cant go and leavee the major in the brig. Yeah. whispers hey. That captain better not get any ideas about hanging the major. If he does, hell have to hang us first. You are aware of the seriousness of the charges against you . I am. Your actions are subject to the most severe penalty i can impose. Though i in no way approve of what you did, i find that there are mimigating circumstances. Therefore, the charges against you are dismissed. What . You heard me, mr. Ferris. D an order. He knocked me flat, and youre lettiti him off as if nothing had happened mr. Ferris, i am the judge and juju aboard this ship. My decisions are the law here. Aye, aye, sir. No deckhands gonna make a fool out of me. Hell wish he hung before im finished with him. Trouble, mr. Ferris . But trouble. Theyre the ones that got him off. Its a doomed ship were on. As long as shes aboard, everybodyll have trouble. Shes the jinx youre a superstitious fool. Im not superstitious. Its a fact. Its only facts i speak, mr. Ferris. The master of a ship must make decisions based upon facts. In the turmoil of the storm, i acted upon the facts as initially presented to me. Without discipline, a man couldnt even keep a river barge afloat. However, i do try to rectify any errors ive madede when im convinced that ive been wrong. I appreciate that, captain. There must be some sort of discipline, even in a wagon train. Oh, there is, i assure you. These, um. These wagon trains, adams, where do the people come from . Why do so many of them even want to go out west . Are trying to find a new life, trying to find a better way of living for their kids than they had for themselves. I know how you feel. You agree with miss minnie. You think that this ship is an unfit place to raise my daughter. Well, youre wroro, both of you. Pat has everything she could wish for love, affection, care, everything. Has she got children her own age to play with, to grow up with . I dont consider that essential. Has she got a place to put her roots down, a place to belong to and friends to share it with . Seems to me, captain, that nobody can grow up or feel very secure, very permanent, with the floor rolling under them all the time. Youve been aboard long enough to know its a deck, not a floor. Your daughter may not think much about this now, captain. She may even grow to hate you. For tryingngo make her be the son that you always wanted. Youve got a nerve, saying a thing like that to me. Well, captain, its the truth as i see it. And theres another thing. Miss minnie. What about her . Tell me, how come you didnt hire an older woman, less attractive, for pats teacher . What are you getting at . It just seems to me, captain, that having not very good for the morale of your crew, is it . For their morale or youou . Adams. I apologize for unjujuly punishing you, and now i consider that our accounts are square. I adadse you to keep them that way. Now, go back to your station. Yes, sir. I am, uh. Polishing belaying pins. I never heard of sucuca thing. Oh, the mate just thought of it. Im not surprised. Im not surprised at anything that happens onboard this ship is there anything i can do, miss . Go on. Im sorry. Its just that that im so angry and mad that i could. Now its all my fault that patricia no longer likes the ship. And yours, of course, for exciting her interest in the west. Tell me, why does he insist on raising the child on this ship . Well, patricias mother died while she was giving birth to her. That he made a vow hed never be absent from his daughter again, never leave her alone. So, since he lives at sea, so does she. Oh, there. There are times when. When matt is so sweet and so gentle could faint from the joy of it. Then there are times like tonight, when when he is as temperamental and unpredictable as the weather i guess youve been in love with him a long time, havent you . Ever since the first time, when he. Im not in love with captain cobb imim simply an employee who happens to be very devoted to her job of teaching his daughter. The three rs. Mmhmm. Does it really show that plainly . I mean. My loving matt . Well, miss minnie, a woman as beautiful as you to live on a cargo ship like this, not for a sasary. Well. I guess not. Oh. If i only knew how to cope with it, what to do. You know, sometimes. A man doesnt realize what h hhas till hes lost it. Suppose, miss minnie, that you got off the ship at new orleans. Leave . Mmhmm. Well, who would look after patricia . Well, thats the captains responsibility. Its his daughter. The point is if captain cobb lets you leave, youd be better off without him. That is, unless you like to suffer. Some womeneno. Well, i certainly dont. But leave pat and. And never to see matt again . I didnt steal it, mr. Ferris. Shh. Ive been thinking about what you said about the woman. The angel of death for all of us e. The watch at the quarterdeck is at the helm. Theres nobody about. If you really think shes a jinx, people fall overboard lots of times, get lost at sea. Aye. Aye, that they do. I could savevehe ship my matesd thank me for it. Lay topside. I aint happy with the job you did on the belaying pins. thunk youre just achihi to have me come to the end of my rope, arent you, mr. Ferris . Most powerful ache i ever had. Do something, adams, something with no mitigating circumstances. No thahas, mr. Ferris. No thanks. Lay topside. Come on minnie screams whats that . Whos there . Miss minnie get captain cobb. Shes out cold, mr. Ferris. I was just coming up from the focastle when i heard her scream, and then i heard somebody run off over there. Minnie what happened to her . We found adams kneeling over her. Daddy daddy, i tried to yell, but i couldnt, i just couldnt yes, and i saw her with him before, too. But patricia put him in the brig crying you u nt be in a brig long this time, major adams. By sunset tomorrow, youll be hanging by the neck on the highest yardarm of the ship. You hope. Thank you. You feel better now . Im fine. You know, matt, it may not be very ladylike to say so, but it was worth being bruised if only to find out that youre capable of worrying about me. Well, of course i was worried. A thing like this. I was standing at the rail, thinking about something that major adams had said to me. Then he was with you earlier. Why, yes. I met him on deck after i left my cabin. He spoke for a moment, and then he said good nightht and went forward. mumbles what . Oh, nothing. It just confirms something that pat said. Go on. Well, suddenly from behind, somebody grabbed me, my throat. He was trying to throw me overboard its true. He was trying all the time to lift me over the rail. You didnt see who it was . Well, you will tomorrow when i hang him. Oh, i dont know how i couldve b bn so wrong about that man. You know who it was . Minnie, it was major seth adams. But major adams. I dont believe it. Evidence of eyewitnesses is difficult not to believe. But major adams was absolutely sober when i spoke to him, and it was only a few minutes after he left that this happened. No, matt. No, it couldnt have been him. The man who tried to strangle me, he was drunk. He was so drunk that i almost gagged and also if it had been major adams, why, i wouldnt be here right now. Why, he could lift two like me over the rail without even trying. Oh, no, not major adams. Anything else, maybe, but not rum. Rum dodot set well with the major. He gives me his rations almost every day. You telling me the truth . Swear on a stack of bibles, captain. Youre a prey good cook, biddy. Say, i havent seen the major this morning. Next time i see him im gonna ask him about this. Hes in the brig again. Oh, no. Not again. I heard him tell miss minnie to getetff the ship at new orleans and leave you and me and everything. Daddy, he wants to marry her. Well. What did she say to that . Well, i couldnt hear very wewe, but you wont let her do it, will you . I hadnt thought too much about it, pat. Now, pat, listen. I want you to o y to remember real hard. Was this talk you heard before minnie got hurt . Mmhmm. What did you do then . Well, after major adams told her good night, i went back to my bunk, but i couldnt sleep very well, cause i was t t worried about her leaving us. Did you see him come back . Mmhmm. You saw him sneak up behind miss minnie and try to throw her overboard . Did he do that . And went to the window to look, and thats when i saw him. Saw who, major adams . Mmhmm. He was kneeling over miss minnie. She was lying with her faceceight on the deck, and then he rolled her over. Oh, daddy, id just die if miss minnie went away i just love her so. Hey, hey, hey. Now, wipe that up. gibbering pull yourself together, man. Well never make port. T. I can feel it. Just keep your wits about you. Everythingll be all right. All of us are marked for doom now. Quiet. Youre a fool. All i know when you try to cast out the devil and you fail, the penaltys death, mate. Listen cant you smell it all around you . Listen, you. Just keep your mouth shut, and nothings gonna happen. I shouldnt have listened to you. Yeah, you put it up to me. Oh, id never have tried it without your eggininme on. Why, you thud oh go to my cabin. Get the cat o nine tails. Strip ofofhis shirt and spreadeagle him to the main mast. Youre gonna flog me . Till theres no strength left in my arm to lift the whip. Put him up yells go in and get that man sharks get my rifle screaming well, there she lays, new orleans. Aint she pretty yeah, but them lights still look a long ways off. Fore dark, so the captains gonna anchor out here. Well sail in at dawn. Captain wants to see you. Huh . What have you done now, major . I havent done a goldarn thing. You sure . course im sure think hes lying . Come in. You, uh, sent for me, sir . Yes, sir, i am. I wont try to preventntt, providing you disembark alone. Alone, but . Thatssxactly what i said alone. I will not let you go off arminarm with minnie ananbreak my daughters heart. You mean youre not gonna let miss minnie off the ship . Thats precisely what i mean i have the authority to restrict her to the ship juju as i can any of the crew if pat wasnt involved in this, id say good riddance to both of you, but. How can a woman as essentially bright as she is even think of marrying you . Captain, how did you happen to find out about this . My daughter, at least, is loyal to me. She told me. You may not know it, but she was listening the night you were talking to minnie, proposing to her ththnight she was attacked. Oh. She must be out of her mind. Or whether you agree, but i happen to be as well respected on land as you are on sea, and as far as miss minnies concerned, any mand be an awful fool not to realize what a wonderful wife shed make. It is not necessary for you to describe her virtues to me. I am well awararof them then surely, sir, you can understand how i might happen to ask her to marry me. Now, hear this, adams, and remember it. Dont try to get off this ship with her she is not leaving, even if i have to if i have to lock her in the brig will that be all, captain . That will be all thank you, sir. Oh, miss minnie, i got a hunch that captain cobbs gonna want to see you in about two shakes. Do yourself a favor, will you . No matter what he says or does, just remember to act like you know exactly what hes talking about, will you step into my cabin for a moment, please . Yes, captain. Uh, sit down, minnie. Thank you. What i wanted to say was that i, uh. Well, ii. How could you do this to pat and me . chuckles do what . It doesnt become you. You know very well what i mean what kind of a life do you expect to have with a man like that . With major adams . Why, a good life, i expect. I, uh. Um. How long have you known about t , seth and me . Long enough to be nearly crazy with it. I want to propose to you myself, only i. Well, i thought i was too old for you. But if he your grandfather minnie, i will not allow you to marry that man. Are you proposing to me now . Well, yes. Yes, i am. I. For pats sake. She needs you. Well, dont do me any favors, matthew. No, wait a minute, minnie i didnt mean it the way it sounded. I meant for my sakak too. Minnie. I love youou and i want you to be my wife. And, uh. And live onboard ship, trying to raise patricia here . Everything just lili its been, except. For marriage . Nonothanks, matt. Well, all right. Then well get a house ashore. Itll be a snug harbor for me to come home to. Oh. Oh, so patricia and i can be lonely together and live in fear that each voyage no, matt. You expect me to give up the seaea i want you. Safe, home from the sea. A. I will not be dictated to. I refuse to be victimized by you and pat, or adams, or anyone else adams yes. Now, you hear this. I am not pulling into port in new orleans. Im setting an easterly course and im staying on it till that woman has regained her senses prepare to weigh anchor break out all sails jump to it looks like now or never, major.
