La isla misteriosa Page #3

- password?

- Secret mission by the direct

order of Colonel Larochette.

Read it to him.

Read it yourself!

And now tell your friends to put down their rifles.

And be quiet or l'll blow off your brains!

Do as he says.

Move it!

A patrol!

Move it!

Hold it! Who are you?

Balloon control.

What's the password?

Tell him!

- The balloon has a different password.

l don't know it.

Step forward! - But... - Go!

Hold it! The password!

You are too far away.

You can only whipser it to him.

Do you want me to yell it

so that anybody can hear it?

Come closer and l'll tell you.

Forgive me Sergeant.

Now run!

They take the balloon!

Only shoot at the refugees and the basket.

Farewell Richmond!

We've made it!

l only hope that they didn't damage the balloon.

- Where did they hit you Pencroff?

You are not bleading!

They didn't hurt me.

They have hit my new pipe. That's a bad sign.

Listen to me Pencroff

smoking is dangerous to your health.

You are looking worried Mr Smith.

Everything went fine until now.

l've just checked the barometer.

lt is not only a simple storm

but a hurricane. A really big one.

ln 1865 the civil war was raging in the United States.

Furthermore the country was exposed to a hurricane

which devastated great parts of the country.

ln this inferno some brave men

dared to escape in a balloon.

They escaped from Richmond

the headquarters of the Confederates.

lt's now been 4 days

that the hurricane blows us around.

Where is it taking us?

Who knows? Our compass is broke.

What time is it?

Something between 6 and 8.

l can't tell any better because of the fog.

lt is midnight in Richmond.

- Really?

That's a difference of at least 4 hours.

That means that we have travelled round about...

- 5000 miles.

And nobody knows where to.

Don't you feel well Harbert?

Everything is fine Mr. Spilett.

The governor should have given us provisions.

No the food was uneatable anyway.

lt is always uneatable in a besieged city.

Not even Top ate it.

Hey careful!

Thanks Mr. Pencroff.

Mr. Smith the barometer!

We're loosing height.

We are above the ocean!

We have no ballast anymore.

We'll have to loose weight!

Throw out anything unused!

The water barrel!

l don't mind right now.

The box can go as well!

What's inside?

Gold! - Are you mad? - The gold will kill us!

Calm down! Don't fight!

Good.

That should do it.

We are keeping altitude.

No we still are loosing altitude not that fast though.

The balloon has probably been damaged.

lt has become more and more limp since we started.

lf we don't hit land in the next 45 minutes it's over!

Mr. Smith we still could throw out

the weapons and our coats!
