:24:01
How long does the captain
intend that we stay? Do you know?
:24:07
- Oh, a week perhaps.
- A week?
:24:09
- There's no great hurry.
- Mustn't we make haste for the Marquesas?
:24:13
I'm not even sure
it was the Acheron we sighted.
:24:16
And if it was, she'll be well away by now.
Like looking for an honest man in parliament.
:24:21
No, we shall head home. Before peace
breaks out with France, God forbid.
:24:29
I fear you may have burdened me
with a debt I can never repay.
:24:33
Tosh. Name a shrub after me.
Something prickly and hard to eradicate.
:24:38
A shrub? Nonsense.
I'll name a great tortoise after you.
:24:42
Testudo aubreii.
:25:25
Come on, pack up your things.
We should be going.
:25:28
- Back to camp, sir?
- No, to the other side of the island.
:25:31
- But, sir, that must be at least ten miles.
- Then there's not a moment to lose.
:25:36
That's where I saw
my flightless cormorant.
:25:39
Come on.
:25:51
Seven inches in length.
:25:55
Four inches wide.
:25:57
15-inches-Iong neck.
