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.
1:20:04
- Now, let's get going, shall we?
- But of course, monsieur.
1:20:07
I will show you now
the ingenious arrangements...
1:20:10
I've made for our departure.
1:20:12
Perhaps you have observed
that I've cut loose the gondola...
1:20:16
and the ship is now attached to it
only by a single cable.
1:20:19
So are the motors and the tail.
1:20:22
This section, too, linked to the ship
only by a cable.
1:20:25
When I slip these cables...
1:20:28
the gondola, the motors and the tail
detach themselves...
1:20:31
and we rise.
1:20:33
Are you sure?
1:20:35
You will see.
1:20:37
Now, gentlemen,
if you will assist me...
1:20:41
the gondola...
1:20:43
the motors and the tail.
1:20:45
When I say "three,"
you will pull with all your force.
1:20:48
Right.
1:20:50
- Permission to proceed, monsieur?
- What?
1:20:53
Oh, yes! Yes, yes. Proceed.
1:20:55
Very well.
1:20:57
One...
1:20:59
two, three.
