Fair Wind to Java Page #3

Or your noggins will be knocking

on the deck like a heathen drum.

I'm telling you

what he says is gospel truth.

Besides, he wouldn't be fooling with

a woman on his own blinking ship.

Aye, there's no money

to be got from women!

A shape like Venus de Milo.

Ahab? Do you think

we brought her aboard in the chest?

Well, I'll be damned,

maybe so!

It's too bad.

What is?

Just like I read in a book -

"chercez la femme. "

It means look out for the lady.

She'll get him in trouble.

He's right. Cherchez la femme.

# The anchor is weighed

and the sails they are set

# Away! Heave ho!

# The girls we are leaving,

we'll never forget,

# And we're bound for the open sea

# Away, love, away

# Away! Heave-ho!

# So fare thee well

to my pretty young girls

# And we're bound

for the open sea. #

Here. This'll warm your inside.

# Away! Heave ho! #

Don't worry about the men.

They won't bother you.

As long as you stay below.

I don't worry about the men on deck.

You got me wrong.

Being Captain is a job to me.

When I'm on board, I work at it.

When I'm on leave... it's different.

You drink like the men on deck.

I only drink on special occasions.

You're a beautiful girl, Kim Kim.

You'd better go to your cabin.

Stay off the deck.

Come on.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Well, Captain?

Did you get any information?

No, it'll take time.

Perhaps you just like her company.

It's trouble when a pretty woman

comes aboard, but it's necessary.

There's a secret in her head.

And we want to get it. Yes, sir.

#.. Oh, my darling!

# I was sitting by the river... #

What's this rotgut made out of?

Hot coals?

You big bozo. You just

don't appreciate good hooch.

That's made out of beautiful

palm trees, my good man.

Beautiful, like Bali dames.

Hey, don't go wasting good liquor!

#.. In my old New England home

# Where I whiled

many happy hours away... #

Help!

Sir! Kim Kim's on deck.

Mr Reader is...

On the quarterdeck!

Rig a bosun's chair.

Put him under ten times.

Don't drown him or let

the sharks get him. Aye, sir.

I told you to stay off the deck.

I'm the captain

and you'll do as I say!

Get to your cabin and stay there!

Who is it?

Captain Boll. Come in.

The sarong is very beautiful.

Thank you, Tuan.

When I got them in the casbah, I

never thought you'd be wearing them.

Looks good on you.

We stand in at Bali

the day after tomorrow.

We'll do some trading

with the Rajah Plankan.

The Rajah...?

Oh, he mustn't see me.

He's a very bad man. I will

stay on the ship and hide. Why?

I was a dancing girl in his court.

Dancing the gong.

After the men killed my father...

He brought me from Sanua,

where I was born.

But my mother took me
