I'll pass you.

Bob Bratt. Come; there's a minister

and his wife who want to meet you.

- Thank you.

- I'll take it.

- Shut that door!

- All right, Pier Master!

This is Rvd. Hector Matthews. My wife.

- How kind to meet me.

- Welcome to Longhope.

We were thinking, you may prefer a room with us

- To living up at the school house.

- That's very kind, but ...

We thought it'd be highly improper

for so young a girl to be on her own.

- I'm accustomed to look after myself.

- Mrs Matthews is a pretty housekeeper.

- You'll find the charge is very reasonable.

- I'm sure of that.

Shall we discuss it some other time?

Good bye.

- Good bye.

- I'll put you on your road, Miss Burnett.

- Shut that door!

- All right, Pier Master!

- 50 feet.

- Pump up 4 auxiliary.

Pump up 4 auxiliary!

- Dead slow.

- Dead slow, sir.

Stop the pump. Shut 4 auxiliary.

Stop the pump, shut 4 auxiliary!

- 80 feet!

- Flood fives.

Flood fives!

Hold at 80 feet.

Hot? Funny how cold makes you steam.

- We have scraped something, have you heard?

- You would have heard if we had.

Well, gentlemen, I think we are through.

Whoever got the chart of the mine

field deserves the Iron Cross.

Yes, we shouldn't have even

a wood one without it.

Stop motors.

Stopped boat, sir!

Can you hear anything?

No, sir. Nothing.

- Good. I'm going up. 30 feet.

- 30 feet, sir!

Up periscope.

- Stand by to surface.

- Stand by to surface!

- Main vents shut, sir!

- Blow ones.

- Blow twos and threes.

- Blow twos and threes!

25...

20...

- 15 ...

- Stop blowing. Exit stations!

- We review the details?

- Do you think I'll forget?

To be sure. Ready? On top of the cliff?

- Northeast, surrounding rocks.

- Then?

Follow telegraph poles. Rough road.

- 3 miles?

- Right.

At the fork, turn left.

- In the cairn?

- Stop and look for the sign W-NW.

- The woman?

- Fraulein Thiel.

- Motorcycle is asshore, sir.

- Password?

I do not know what spell makes me so sad...

- What are you smiling at?

- You sir, saying that in the dark to a woman.

If you are so funny, keep it. Come on.

Come up at same time next 3 nights.

Yes, sir.

- Got everything you want?

- Yes.

- Glasses? Gun?

- All.

Good luck.

Who goes there?

- Constable Bob Bratt.

- Pass.

Quiet tonight.

Hi there!

Put that light out!

- Is somebody calling?

- What you think you're doing showing a naked light?

- I'm very sorry.

- Put it out!

Yes.

- Haven't you read the regulations?

- No.

- All the worse. And you're a teacher!

- It's you, Mr. Bratt? I'm very sorry.

Well, that's all right, Miss.

I'm single handed and the fleet here, I have to keep an eye.

A spy would give his head to get here,

but he won't get by Bob Bratt.
