:54:00
But therein lies the problem.
You're not accustomed to defeat.
:54:07
And chasing this larger, faster ship with
its long guns is beginning to smack of pride.
:54:13
It's not a question of pride.
It is a question of duty.
:54:16
Duty. Yes, I've heard it
well spoken of.
:54:19
Be as satiric as you like. Viewing the world
through a microscope is your prerogative.
:54:23
This is a ship of war. I will grind whatever
grist the mill requires to fulfil my duty.
:54:28
Whatever the cost?
:54:30
Whatever the cost.
:54:32
To follow orders with no regard for cost.
:54:35
Can you really claim there's
nothing personal in this call to duty?
:54:39
Orders are subject
to the requirement of the service.
:54:42
My orders were to follow him as far as Brazil.
I exceeded my orders a long time ago.
:54:50
Got it.
:54:55
The wind's backing, sir.
:54:58
Sir, we just can't hold
this westerly course any longer.
:55:03
If we can't sail through the damn wind, Tom,
we'll bloody well sail around it. Due south.
:55:09
How far south, sir?
:55:12
As far as is necessary, Mr Pullings.
:55:15
- Aye, sir.
- Lively!
:55:19
- Due south, please, Mr Bonden.
- Due south, sir.
:55:25
Heave! Steady!
