:23:02
Sir, this message just came in.
:23:04
Thank you.
:23:11
Attention, all hands. This is the captain.
A Norwegian freighter...
:23:14
...has just picked up another distress signal
from Ice Station Zebra. Quote:
:23:18
"For God's sake, hurry. " Unquote.
:23:20
The rest of the transmission is garbled.
:23:22
So somebody's still alive up there.
:23:25
The last estimated position
of the British camp was 85 north, 21 west.
:23:29
But we can't pin it down.
Their position drifts with the ice pack.
:23:33
The United States and Soviet Russia
are making a joint effort...
:23:37
...to reach the survivors.
:23:38
An ice storm has ruled out any chance
of air rescue by either side.
:23:42
So we're going in under the ice pack.
:23:46
One more thing.
:23:48
We have with us a British civilian.
:23:50
I'm authorized to tell you
his name is Jones.
:23:54
There are classified aspects to his mission,
which means it's none of our business...
:23:59
...so let's leave him alone.
I'll keep you informed.
:24:01
Pump 1000 from
number one auxiliary to sea.
:24:04
One thousand from
number one auxiliary to sea.
:24:07
- Pumping from auxiliary.
- Very well.
:24:09
- Ready to relieve you.
- No machinery down, no unexecuted orders.
:24:13
- I relieve you.
- I've been relieved by Ed.
:24:15
Very well, George. How does it look, Court?
:24:18
From this diving point, captain,
I would say our best bet...
:24:21
...for a quick course would be 287
until we clear the Hebrides.
:24:24
Then directly to Spitsbergen
for a final departure fix.
:24:27
Transit time checks
with our initial estimates.
:24:31
- Come around to 287, Ed.
- 287, aye.
:24:34
- Come right to 287.
- Right to 287, aye.
:24:36
What's the time for arrival
at the ice barrier, Court?
:24:39
- 1530 Thursday, sir.
- Thank you.
:24:42
- Move it up to flank.
- Flank, aye, sir.
:24:44
- All ahead flank, Kentner.
- All ahead flank, aye.
:24:48
Answering. All ahead flank.
:24:54
Come on.
