:06:06
- Where's Mitch?
- He died a couple of months ago.
:06:09
- What happened?
- Just didn't wake up one morning.
:06:13
l was a shipmate of his. Name's Baxter.
Ex-chief signalman. l took over.
:06:17
- Everything?
- Yeah, everything.
:06:21
Gimme a UB of whiskey.
:06:24
- He was all right, though.
- They start liberty again?
:06:28
Nah. Transferrin' to a new ship.
The San Pablo.
:06:31
You can have my part of that.
Them gunboats are nothin'.
:06:36
- Well, they got engines, ain't they?
- Sure.
:06:39
Well, then they ain't nothin'.
:06:47
- You likee me?
- Oh, much like all the sailor man!
:06:51
Uniform gets 'em every time.
:07:07
We can't threaten them into being our friends.
:07:10
- Exactly.
- Then what's the point?
:07:12
Now, you can hate the gunboats
and what they represent, Jameson,
:07:15
but you missionaries
are only tolerated because we have them.
:07:19
- l question that.
- The Chinese'd run you out, otherwise.
:07:22
They hate you and despise you.
Dare you know that?
:07:26
l dare love them in return,
and l dare trust God rather than guns.
:07:30
Yes, but when there are anti-foreign riots,
:07:33
how often have you fled
to the gunboat for protection?
:07:36
To my shame, twice. But never again.
:07:39
My name is Hamilton.
:07:41
- Holman.
- How do you do? This is Miss Eckert.
:07:44
And Mr Jameson. As you may have gathered,
Mr Jameson is a missionary. Miss Eckert, too.
:07:50
- And this is Mr Outscout.
- How do you do?
:07:53
British.
:07:55
- Where are you headed?
- Uh, San Pablo. Gunboat.
