Hey, it's our coolies. They're jumpin' ship!
:30:18
Bend off.
:30:24
- Hey, what the hell happened?
- Shing put opium on board, said it was ours.

:30:27
- Ski, the bonehead, dumped it in the furnace.
- The Captain told me to get rid of it.

:30:32
- We can't run this ship without coolies.
- Well, we're gonna.

:30:36
Shall we try to mask the smoke
with rubber, Captain?

:30:39
lt's too late, Mr Bordelles. lt's too late.
:30:47
The San Pablo is now in
a state of siege here, and will be all winter.

:30:51
The water level in the channel is already
too low for us to leave before spring.

:30:56
There will be no liberty.
:30:58
No contact with the shore except a guard
mail trip to the consulate once a week.

:31:03
Each of you will get a chance
to make this trip once.

:31:10
They have singled out
San Pablo for destruction,

:31:14
using their new weapons
of boycott and propaganda.

:31:18
They expect in the end
to haul down the flag in shame and disgrace.

:31:25
We will not let them do that.
:31:27
When the time comes, we will
defend our flag with our life's blood.

:31:34
They will watch us every minute.
:31:37
They will gloat over every rust streak down
our sides, every sign of military slackness.

:31:45
They expect to destroy us.
But it will only make us stronger.
