AND TOUCH HANDS:

WITH THE UNIVERSE

SO THAT HE CAN LIVE

AT PEACE ON LAND.

THE OCEAN DON'T DO NOTHING

BUT DRIVE YOU ASHORE,

AND THE LAND DRIVES

YOU BACK TO SEA.

THAT'S JUS BLACK WATER.

DON'T GET TO THINKING YOU

CAN WALK NO PLACE ON IT.

I DO NOT KNOW IF MEN

CAN WALK ON WATER,

BUT I WOULD NOT BE

AFRAID TO TRY.

LOOK, KID, I GOT A LAZY CREW THIS TRIP.

IT DON'T HELP NONE FOR YOU

TO STAND SEAGULL-WATCHER

OR ASK DUMB QUESTIONS

ABOUT NOTHING.

GET TO WORK!

SORRY, SIR.

AH, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU AIN' DUE ON WATCH FOR ANOTHER HOUR.

FORGET WHAT I SAID.

HEY, HARRY, THERE'S

A JAP SUB CHASING US.

DON'T GO SPREADING

WILD RUMORS!

NO, IT SAID SUB

ON THE BOOK!

SPONCE IS RUNNING TO

THE CAPTAIN NOW!

WE'RE ON THE ALERT!

SIT DOWN AND:

CUT FOR DEAL!

AW, HARRY,

THIS AIN'T SENSIBLE!

PLAYING CARDS IN A

CRISIS LIKE THIS...

NOTHING MORE:

SENSIBLE.

KING'S HIGHER THAN

QUEEN, 2 AND 2 MAKE 4.

DO YOU KNOW THAT WE MAY

BE FACING OUR LAST MOMENT?

SO WHAT?

WELL, I AIN'T IN

SUCH GOOD STANDING

THAT I CAN AFFORD TO DIE

WITH CARDS IN MY HAND.

I'LL HIDE THE

EVIDENCE, MUDGE.

AND THE CARDS IS RUNNING

BAD FOR ME, TOO...

THAT'S BECAUSE OF THOSE

SINS I COMMITTED IN CHILE.

IF HE IS A JAP SUB,

AND HE DOES GET US,

AND IF YOU DO GET KILLED,

GOD'S GOING TO DROP EVERYTHING

AND JUMP ON YOU:

FOR PLAYING CARDS?

YOU AIN'T THA IMPORTANT.

WELL, MAYBE NO TO YOU,

BUT EVERY MAN HAS A

TREMBLING IMMORTAL SOUL,

AND THAT'S

IMPORTANT TO GOD.

ALL RIGHT, IT IS THE JAPS! THIS IS IT!

LISTEN TO THEM MUGS.

5 MINUTES AGO, THEY WERE TOO

LAZY TO DRAW A DECENT BREATH.

HARRY, A MAN HAS AN ACTUAL

RIGHT NOT TO WANT TO BE DEAD!

AH, SOON AS

THE DANGER'S OVER,

THEY'LL BE SITTING ON THEIR

BARNACLES AND GROUSING.

HARRY, PLEASE! WE'LL BE TRAPPED IN HERE.

WE'LL DIE IN HERE!

UH-UH, NOT ME.

I'M NOT DYING YET.

YEAH, BUT HOW

DO YOU KNOW THAT?

I AIN'T GONNA DIE

TILL I'M GOOD AND READY!

LOOK AT IT. MILES DEEP,

BUT NOTHING TO DRINK.

OK, GUS, OK.

WHAT GRIPES ME MOST IS I

AIN'T GETTING PAID FOR THIS.

WHO SAYS SO?

THE COMPANY.

THE MINUTE:

YOU'RE TORPEDOED,

THE COMPANY:

STOPS YOUR PAY.

HERE. SHUFFLE

THE CARDS.

I CAN'T PLAY ANYMORE. I'M BUSHED, HARRY.

REALLY BUSHED!

WELL, 5 DAYS IN THE

SUN'S A LITTLE RUGGED.

HOW IS IT, RAMON?

GOOD.

HARRY... HE'S GOING TO

LET ME GO.

YEAH, YOU'LL GET HOME ALL RIGHT, KID.

SURE, SURE. YOU'RE

GOING TO MAKE IT.

HERE, KID.

DRINK THIS.

GET HIS HEAD, MUDGE.

THAT'S OUR RATIONS!

YOU GOT NO RIGHT TO-

YOU DON'T MEAN THAT, GUS.

YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT.

WE AIN'T GONNA DRINK

WATER WHEN WE GET TO PORT.

WE'RE GONNA

DRINK WHISKEY.

I GUESS HE DECIDED

TO WALK HOME.

RAMON DIED FINE.

HE DIDN'T FEEL

NOTHING.

THAT'S A GOOD ENOUGH
