1:18:01
And you're an excellent shot.
1:18:03
You saved our lives.
Thank you.
1:18:05
An unexpected pleasure.
1:18:07
Since I landed two days ago,
I've been trying to save my own.
1:18:11
But getting out of here...
that's going to be quite a problem.
1:18:14
- Isn't it, Captain?
- I have the solution.
1:18:20
My ship may be battered and torn...
1:18:22
but the mind that conceived it,
that still functions.
1:18:27
As you see,
the ship has lost much gas...
1:18:29
but it retains some, uh, buoyancy?
1:18:32
So if we reduce sufficiently
the weight, then it will rise.
1:18:38
How would you reduce the weight?
1:18:41
Abandon the motors.
1:18:44
The propellers are broken anyway.
The gondola too.
1:18:48
Strip the ship of everything
that weights it down.
1:18:51
What have we then?
A free balloon.
1:18:55
- ByJove!
- At least it would carry us
across the bay.
1:18:58
Yes, and if we can
just reach the pack ice...
1:19:00
Oh, we shall go farther than that.
The prevailing wind is to the south.
1:19:03
If it holds, we should be able
to drift to Greenland.
1:19:06
When we reach the coast,
we descend...
1:19:09
and proceed on foot
to the nearest habitation.
1:19:13
Captain Brieux,
you are a very remarkable man.
1:19:18
I've always felt so.
1:19:24
Sir Anthony!
1:19:26
I say, this is a bit much, isn't it?
1:19:28
Hardly the time for ceremonies.
Let's be off.
1:19:31
Please, Sir Anthony,
this is a moment to be savored.
1:19:35
Once more we stand on the threshold
of a great adventure.
1:19:39
To my Hyperion.!
1:19:43
May she rise like a phoenix
from the ashes of despair...
1:19:47
and soar like man's imagination...
1:19:50
to Greenland and beyond.
1:19:54
The Hyperion.
