Caine in trouble when you relieved its captain? 1132 00:53:27,793 --> 00:53:31,040 And on what facts do you base that judgment? Well, several things. 1133 00:53:31,310 --> 00:53:32,810 We couldn't hold course. 1134 00:53:32,900 --> 00:53:35,390 We broached three times in an hour. "Broached"? 1135 00:53:35,390 --> 00:53:39,260 Yes, wind and sea took charge and tossed us sideways ten minutes at a time. 1136 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,080 We were rolling too steeply for the inclinometer to record. 1137 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,380 We were shipping water out of the wheelhouse. The generators were cutting out. 1138 00:53:45,380 --> 00:53:48,080 The ship was not responding to emergency rudder and engine settings. 1139 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,400 We were lost and out of control. 1140 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,530 And did you inform your captain of this? Yes. 1141 00:53:51,530 --> 00:53:55,640 Repeatedly for an hour. I begged him to come north into the wind. 1142 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,110 What was his reply? 1143 00:53:57,210 --> 00:54:00,150 Well, mostly just a glazed look and no answer. 1144 00:54:01,660 --> 00:54:02,530 Mr. Maryk, 1145 00:54:02,770 --> 00:54:06,310 when did you start keeping your medical log on Commander Queeg? 1146 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,410 Shortly after the incident with the mines in the Straits of Hormuz. 1147 00:54:09,510 --> 00:54:13,440 And why did you start it? I began to think the captain might be mentally ill. 1148 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,210 Why? Because of the yellow dye marker business. 1149 00:54:16,210 --> 00:54:19,260 You mean the incident where the commander acquired the nickname Old Yellowstain? 1150 00:54:19,710 --> 00:54:20,310 Yes. 1151 00:54:20,610 --> 00:54:23,070 Were you an eyewitness to this occurrence? 1152 00:54:23,580 --> 00:54:25,370 I was navigator. I was right there on the bridge. 1153 00:54:25,370 --> 00:54:27,540 Please describe this Yellowstain incident. 1154 00:54:29,370 --> 00:54:32,370 It was the third day of an assigned sweep with two other MCMs. 1155 00:54:32,370 --> 00:54:33,600 Mm-hmm. 1156 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,720 We had detected a field of acoustic mines. 1157 00:54:37,530 --> 00:54:38,490 [speaking louder] It was the third day 1158 00:54:38,490 --> 00:54:40,710 of an assigned sweep with two other MCMs. 1159 00:54:40,710 --> 00:54:42,480 We detected a field of acoustic mines 1160 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:43,680 in the narrowest part of the strait 1161 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,980 and we'd been ordered to destroy them in place using high explosives. 1162 00:54:46,980 --> 00:54:49,590 And that's delicate business. It's gotta be done just right. 1163 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,570 We milled around out there for a while. 1164 00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:55,750 Then the captain decided not to set the charges. 1165 00:54:56,050 --> 00:54:57,940 He gave us some excuse about faulty equipment. 1166 00:54:57,940 --> 00:55:00,640 I checked the gear. It was in perfect working order. 1167 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,500 And the captain wouldn't hear it. 1168 00:55:02,740 --> 00:55:05,080 He said the tech was incompetent and he knew better. 1169 00:55:05,350 --> 00:55:07,900 So we dropped a yellow dye marker over the side, 1170 00:55:07,900 --> 00:55:10,330 radioed to the other MCM to destroy the mines. 1171 00:55:10,330 --> 00:55:14,200 They radioed back to slow down, but we just-- we steamed right out of there. 1172 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,070 [Greenwald] "Steamed." Now, Mr. Maryk-- 1173 00:55:15,070 --> 00:55:16,720 The court wishes to question the witness. 1174 00:55:18,340 --> 00:55:21,640 Lieutenant, you say the gear was in working order. Did you check it personally? 1175 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,100 Yes, sir, along with the chief electronic tech and the sonar men. 1176 00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:26,410 It was fine. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the gear. 1177 00:55:26,410 --> 00:55:29,410 And after you steamed away, was there any danger due to shock waves 1178 00:55:29,410 --> 00:55:30,640 from the underwater detonations? 1179 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,200 No. No, there was not. 1180 00:55:32,380 --> 00:55:35,980 MCMs are designed to withstand that kind of thing. We do this all the time. 1181 00:55:35,980 --> 00:55:39,280 Now, you say these boats signaled to you to slow down. 1182 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,785 Yes, sir. Was the signal reported to your captain? 1183 00:55:41,885 --> 00:55:43,300 I reported it to him myself. 1184 00:55:43,540 --> 00:55:45,550 Was he aware that he was steaming away 1185 00:55:45,550 --> 00:55:47,830 from his assigned spot in the sweep formation? 1186 00:55:47,830 --> 00:55:50,650 It was obvious to everyone on the bridge. I pointed it out. 1187 00:55:50,650 --> 00:55:52,240 I said we were breaking the sweep pattern, 1188 00:55:52,240 --> 00:55:54,580 that the other vessels would not know where we'd found the mines. 1189 00:55:54,580 --> 00:55:58,810 And that is when he said, "We'll drop a yellow dye marker over the side then." 1190 00:55:59,950 --> 00:56:01,060 You may continue. 1191 00:56:01,210 --> 00:56:04,900 Mr. Maryk, why didn't you go immediately to a higher authority 1192 00:56:04,900 --> 00:56:07,500 with your doubts about Captain Queeg's mental health? 1193 00:56:07,500 --> 00:56:10,150 I felt if I had a record, I'd be on stronger ground. 1194 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:11,980 That's when I decided to keep the medical log. 1195 00:56:12,250 --> 00:56:16,090 If I was wrong, I'd just burn it. I kept it under lock and key. 1196 00:56:16,090 --> 00:56:17,740 And what, in your opinion, 1197 00:56:17,740 --> 00:56:20,620 made an incident worthy of keeping a record in the medical log? 1198 00:56:20,620 --> 00:56:22,390 Any act that seemed abnormal or strange. 1199 00:56:22,390 --> 00:56:24,880 Like what? Like the coffee machine. 1200 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,350 The coffee machine business? Yes. 1201 00:56:26,350 --> 00:56:28,240 Well, please describe the coffee machine thing. 1202 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,040 We had a new coffee machine in the wardroom. 1203 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:34,040 And, uh, Captain really liked his coffee. But you had to be careful. 1204 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,320 You couldn't leave it plugged in too long or the thing would burn out. 1205 00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:37,580 That's exactly what happened. 1206 00:56:37,580 --> 00:56:40,700 One of the guys assigned to the wardroom mess duty forgot to unplug it 1207 00:56:40,700 --> 00:56:42,860 and the thing was-- it was just fried. 1208 00:56:42,860 --> 00:56:44,870 And none of them would admit which one had done it. 1209 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:49,510 So the captain ordered all the officers of the ship to sit as a trial of inquiry 1210 00:56:49,510 --> 00:56:51,370 to find out who'd burned out the coffee machine. 1211 00:56:51,370 --> 00:56:54,520 Which-- Look, in itself, it's a silly thing. 1212 00:56:54,790 --> 00:56:58,090 But this went on for 36 hours. 1213 00:56:58,090 --> 00:56:58,960 [Greenwald whistles] 1214 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,910 [Maryk] All ship's work suspended. 1215 00:57:00,910 --> 00:57:03,610 And there we are, all of us, we're in the wardroom. 1216 00:57:03,910 --> 00:57:05,560 We're dying for sleep, we need showers, 1217 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,710 and we're trying to figure out which one of these poor bastards burned out the coffee machine. 1218 00:57:08,710 --> 00:57:11,860 And they're so scared, they think whoever did it is gonna get shot. 1219 00:57:11,860 --> 00:57:13,750 They'd have sooner died before they told us. 1220 00:57:13,750 --> 00:57:16,360 And so, finally, I go to the captain 1221 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,720 and I say all the officers will admit that they're incompetent investigators 1222 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,760 and take the hit on their fitness reports, 1223 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,570 but we can't find out who left the coffee machine plugged in for too long. 1224 00:57:26,180 --> 00:57:29,100 And so he makes a mark in his black book and he calls off the inquiry. 1225 00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:32,180 It's things like that. Or the water business. 1226 00:57:32,180 --> 00:57:33,410 The water business. Yes. 1227 00:57:33,410 --> 00:57:35,030 Please describe that water business. 1228 00:57:35,870 --> 00:57:38,870 Look, it's all in the log. I know, but please describe the water business. 1229 00:57:40,070 --> 00:57:42,770 The captain restricted water use from the entire crew 1230 00:57:42,770 --> 00:57:44,810 for two days in the middle of a dust storm 1231 00:57:44,810 --> 00:57:47,510 because he caught one of the deck gang taking a shower. 1232 00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:51,460 Or it's plain crazy things. Cheese business. 1233 00:57:51,460 --> 00:57:52,520 The cheese business. The strawberry-- Yes. 1234 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,000 Cheese business? I don't recall any cheese business. 1235 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,000 This was on the first ship the captain was assigned to, sir, as an ensign. 1236 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,210 Cheese was going missing from the ship's stores. 1237 00:58:02,210 --> 00:58:04,910 And the captain investigated and he caught a sailor 1238 00:58:04,910 --> 00:58:08,270 who'd made a duplicate key to the padlock to the refrigerator. 1239 00:58:08,270 --> 00:58:10,460 Now, for catching this cheese thief, 1240 00:58:10,460 --> 00:58:12,320 he was given a letter of commendation. 1241 00:58:12,650 --> 00:58:15,710 This is during peacetime, so naturally he's pretty proud of the thing. 1242 00:58:15,710 --> 00:58:19,430 So when the strawberry stuff started, he insisted it was the same thing. 1243 00:58:19,430 --> 00:58:21,200 And all we had to do was find the guy 1244 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,690 who had made a duplicate key to the wardroom fridge. 1245 00:58:23,690 --> 00:58:25,940 But of course that's ridiculous. 1246 00:58:25,940 --> 00:58:28,640 It was one of the guys assigned to the wardroom mess again. 1247 00:58:29,210 --> 00:58:31,760 We all knew that they'd eaten this quart of strawberries. 1248 00:58:32,030 --> 00:58:33,590 It was left over from the wardroom mess. 1249 00:58:33,590 --> 00:58:35,120 They were entitled to it. That was the custom. 1250 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,940 But when the captain started to freak out about those strawberries, 1251 00:58:37,940 --> 00:58:39,650 they froze up, said they didn't know who'd eaten them. 1252 00:58:39,650 --> 00:58:41,990 And the captain's so hot on his theory he believes them. 1253 00:58:41,990 --> 00:58:44,420 So he ordered the search for the key. Yes, sir. 1254 00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:49,110 We have never seen Captain Queeg so happy before or since. 1255 00:58:49,230 --> 00:58:52,020 He's living the cheese business all over again. 1256 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,750 He organized the search himself. 1257 00:58:54,750 --> 00:58:57,480 We collected every key on that ship. 1258 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:01,290 We had just boxes-- barrels of keys. 1259 00:59:01,290 --> 00:59:03,660 That's about 2,800 of them all told, 1260 00:59:03,660 --> 00:59:05,700 each tagged with the owner's name. 1261 00:59:05,700 --> 00:59:09,060 And just to be safe, we searched that ship from stem to stern, 1262 00:59:09,060 --> 00:59:11,250 from the radar mast to the bilge. 1263 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,200 We stripped the crew naked. 1264 00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,030 [Greenwald] Naked? Yes, sir.

I'm not saying that I did. 1640 01:16:34,790 --> 01:16:38,060 But if I had, it would have been to mark a mine that we had detected. 1641 01:16:38,060 --> 01:16:41,240 Commander, didn't you drop the marker and retire at high speed, 1642 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:44,030 taking the Caine out of its assigned sweep pattern? 1643 01:16:44,030 --> 01:16:48,590 Now, didn't you do this to avoid contact with a dangerous underwater mine 1644 01:16:48,590 --> 01:16:50,510 and leave it for another ship to handle? 1645 01:16:50,510 --> 01:16:52,820 The question is abusive and flagrantly leading. 1646 01:16:52,820 --> 01:16:56,180 I withdraw my last question on account of the witness's dim memory. 1647 01:16:56,570 --> 01:16:58,430 I'll proceed to more recent events. 1648 01:16:58,430 --> 01:17:00,260 [officer] Court desires to question the witness. 1649 01:17:00,740 --> 01:17:01,360 Commander Queeg, 1650 01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:05,520 in view of the implications in this line of testimony, 1651 01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,070 I urge you to search your memory for correct answers. 1652 01:17:08,070 --> 01:17:09,660 Well, I certainly am trying, sir. 1653 01:17:10,020 --> 01:17:14,280 These are very fine points, and I've had a number of arduous missions since that storm. 1654 01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:16,900 And th-then there's, well, all of this business. 1655 01:17:16,900 --> 01:17:18,210 I appreciate that. 1656 01:17:18,540 --> 01:17:21,660 But it will facilitate justice if you can remember enough 1657 01:17:21,660 --> 01:17:24,210 to give a few definite answers on points of fact. 1658 01:17:24,210 --> 01:17:28,470 First of all, did you depart your assigned sector due to equipment problems? 1659 01:17:30,830 --> 01:17:33,860 Yes.

[scoffs] ...an active mine had been detected. 1663 01:17:43,010 --> 01:17:46,460 Is that why you dropped the dye marker? There was a safety factor. 1664 01:17:47,446 --> 01:17:51,320 Uh, it didn't make sense to me to try and detonate mines using defective gear. 1665 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:54,705 But I wanted every vessel in the area to know exactly where that mine was, 1666 01:17:54,805 --> 01:17:55,970 s-so I marked it. 1667 01:17:56,180 --> 01:17:59,240 Now, if I erred on the side of being overcautious, well, I-I'm sorry. 1668 01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:03,200 But then again, sir, I don't think you can err on the side of safety. 1669 01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,023 Did you have the conn?
