:17:00
[Man] Time will come when
my troubles are gone
:17:04
No more totin'
these sacks of corn
:17:10
- You left your spyglass at our house.
- Loxi!
:17:17
I was, uh, coming over
to thank your mother for...
:17:20
Mother's making a heap
of to-do about you and me.
:17:22
They're plannin' to ship me off
to visit Aunt Henrietta!
:17:25
I got my orders too.
:17:27
I sail tonight
on the Arcturus.
:17:30
A month at sea,
and then Charleston.
:17:32
- Charleston!
- For a showdown with Steve Tolliver.
:17:36
You'll be in Charleston?
Why, that's where Aunt Henrietta...
:17:41
Oh, uh,
who's Steve Tolliver?
:17:44
- He drips lace, and leads
the Charleston quadrilles.
- What?
:17:49
He's sea lawyer
for Devereaux and Company.
:17:51
He loves me about as much
as the devil loves holy water.
:17:55
- But he doesn't sound very dangerous.
- Well, he wouldn't be...
:17:58
except he holds the power of influence
with old Commodore Devereaux.
:18:02
But Commodore Devereaux's
fair and square.
:18:05
He's fair and square,
but old.
:18:07
If you keep doin' that,
I'm gonna fall right into them.
:18:13
Tryin' to frighten me?
:18:15
You know, Loxi, there's only
three things I want outta life.
:18:20
One is to command
the Southern Cross... steam.
:18:24
- Oh, steam!
- Don't turn up your pretty nose
at steam.
:18:28
It's the future
of the seas,
:18:30
when calms and gales
and fog won't mean a thing.
:18:35
And with the Southern Cross under me,
I'd get my second wish,
:18:38
because the man
who commands in steam...
:18:42
will be the head of
Devereaux and Company someday.
:18:44
Will you have to wear
a stovepipe hat, Jack?
:18:46
Well, Steve Tolliver
looks all right in one.
:18:50
He means to be head
of the company himself.
:18:52
I was the one man
in his way.
:18:55
Now that I've lost
the Jubilee,
:18:57
he'll crack down with everything
he's got to break me.
