:05:00
And from your memory of the chart...
:05:02
it appears this strip is too long
to be an island...
:05:05
not large enough to be a continent.
:05:07
Therefore, we may deduce
it is an isthmus.
:05:11
The only isthmus running
east and west under Orion's orbit...
:05:16
is this connecting link between
the two continents of the New World.
:05:21
Gentlemen,
here is your charted strip of land...
:05:24
the isthmus of Panama.
:05:32
Fifty sacks of rice, 50 pounds of raisins,
30 pounds of cocoa...
:05:38
eighteen hogsheads of vinegar,
50 jars of wine...
:05:40
Thank you, Mr. Pitt.
:05:43
I have some rather urgent business
in London, so you'll take charge.
:05:47
Isn't that rather a sudden decision,
Capt. Thorpe?
:05:49
No, it's...
Just what are you grinning at, Mr. Pitt?
:05:54
I couldn't help thinking to myself
that if I were going to London...
:05:57
I'd certainly make it a point
to see Miss Latham.
:05:59
- Blast if I wouldn't.
- I daresay you would.
:06:03
As a matter of fact, I have an appointment,
only she doesn't know it yet.
:06:11
- Thank you, gentlemen.
- Aye, aye, sir.
:06:20
Hello, gentlemen.
Is Capt. Thorpe in his cabin?
:06:22
That he is. He'll be pleased to see you, sir.
:06:25
This way, sir.
:06:30
It seems I'm just in time.
:06:32
- You're looking very fit.
- Thank you, sir.
:06:35
Are you going ashore?
:06:36
Yes. I was just going to London.
We don't sail until next week, you know.
:06:39
That's what I came to see you about.
You couldn't sail sooner, could you?
:06:45
Why, yes, if there was some reason for it.
:06:48
There is, Captain, a very good reason.
:06:50
I have a message
from Her Majesty the Queen.
:06:52
She'd like you to set sail immediately.
:06:54
There are certain members of her court
that are asking too many questions...
:06:58
about your latest trading expedition
up the Nile.
