3:44:02
It was bad luck for them. I bear
them no malice. I'm sorry for them.
3:44:08
- No more questions.
- A word of caution, Mr Greenwald.
3:44:14
The defence will try to challenge
the competence of Captain Queeg.
3:44:19
Nevertheless, all the requirements
of military respect remain in force.
3:44:25
During a period
when the Caine was towing targets. -
3:44:30
- Did you ever
steam over your own tow line?
3:44:33
Objection. The defence outrages
the dignity of this proceeding.
3:44:38
The prosecution believes the report
of the psychiatrist closes the case.
3:44:44
But it is up to you naval officers
to judge the captain's performance.
3:44:49
And I must review that performance.
3:44:53
- Objection overruled.
- Did you steam over your tow line?
3:44:58
I'm happy to dispose
of this particular slander.
3:45:03
When we were towing the target,
I saw some anti-aircraft bursts.
3:45:08
- I turned to avoid them.
- You turned in a full circle.
3:45:12
My unreliable helmsman
failed to warn me about that.
3:45:17
But I saw it and reversed course.
We didn't steam over the tow line.
3:45:24
- Did nothing else distract you?
- Not that I recall.
3:45:31
Weren't you reprimanding a seaman
for having his shirt-tail out. -
3:45:37
- While the ship turned 360 degrees?
3:45:41
That only took two seconds.
3:45:45
The morning the Caine escorted
attack boats to the beach. -
3:45:49
- Did your orders include
dropping a dye marker?
3:45:54
- I don't recall.
- Did you drop a dye marker?
3:45:57
I don't recall.
