Where are we?

Won't be long now.

The endless trek
through the Sahara Desert.

See the camels
bravely plod through the sand.

Titty!

At least camels don't need water.

When I was a child,

we had thousands of sheep
that died during the drought.

In Australia?

Yes.

Sheep must be quite pleased to be English.

Do they have sheep in China?

Of course!

Well, even if daddy misses this holiday,

he'll see Chinese sheep
when he's in Hong Kong.

Where is he now, mother?

His boat's in Malta

waiting for orders to sail.

I expect he'd rather be with us.

Of course he would. He loves the lakes.
He'd be showing you everything.

He'd say: "just look at that scenery!"

- Can we go exploring?
- It's a little late.

- But it's still light!
- We won't be long.

All right. But it'll soon be suppertime.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

"Dear father, we arrived safely."

"Mother says I'm to ask your permission

to build a camp
on the island on the lake."

"We've found a boat that will be
quite suitable for the voyage."

"Hope you have a happy voyage
to Hong Kong."

"Please answer soon. Love, John."

"P.S. and Susan."

"If we wreck ourselves on a coral reef,

we will go down bravely."

"Not that we will."

"Please!"

"Love, Titty."

"Please, daddy. May I go too?"

Standby to go about. Ready about.

Roger!

- Well sailed.
- Is it the answer?

Does it say yes?

"Better drowned than duffers,
if not duffers won't drown."

Does that mean yes?

I think so.

But does that mean me too?

Yes, if John and Susan will take you
and if you do as you're told.

- Shall I go and tell the others?
- All right. Don't be late for supper!

-And don't wake Vicky when you come in!

Dispatches!

It's yes!

And for me, too!
So it must be for Titty as well.

Read it aloud!

"Better drowned than duffers,
if not duffers won't drown."

- Hoorah for father!
- What does it mean?

It means…
that father thinks we won't drown

but, if we do, good riddance.

What does "duffers if not duffers" mean?

No! You're wrong.

If we were duffers,
we might as well be drowned.

Then, it stops and starts again,

saying as we are not duffers,
we won't drown.

But why doesn't he just say yes?

Mrs. Jackson!
Can we borrow a frying pan?

Yes, certainly, love.

I'm best at buttered eggs.

Oh, really? Most folk are best at boiled.

I don't count boiled.

You see, on rocky ground,

stones are better than pegs
for holding tents down.

Except in a high wind.

Father and I used to sleep in one
when we were young.

Are you really old?

Not really.

It's just I was younger then.

Da, di.

Da, di.

Da, d, d, d…

- Hoist the sail, Mr. Mate.
- Aye, aye, sir.

Here comes good Queen Bess

to see us off
on our voyage to the Pacific.

Captain Drake!

Pull the boom down.
That'll get those cross wrinkles out.

I wonder if the real Queen Elizabeth
knew much about ships.

That Queen Elizabeth wasn't brought up
near Sydney Harbour.

All aboard!

Come on! Let's go!

Have you got everything?

I've checked the list.

Everything?

One might say "by gum."
We couldn't have lit a fire without them.

Safe voyage.

Bye bye.

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

Three cheers for the stay-at-homes.
Hip hip hooray!

Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!

Goodbye!

We will really, though.

Here we are, intrepid explorers,

making the first ever voyage
into uncharted waters.

What mysteries shall they hold for us?

Dark secrets shall be revealed.

Look, John! Over there! Steam ahead!

-Standby to go about. Ready about.

Natives!

A ship! A ship!

It's a houseboat.

What's a houseboat?

A boat which you live in. Like a house.

I wish we lived in a houseboat
all year round.

- Father does.
- That's different.

He's in the Royal Navy.

A destroyer isn't like a houseboat.

They live in it all the same.

What's that man doing?

I can't see.

Why not?

- I can't see anything.
- Take the cap off the end!

Oh! He's writing.

Let me have the telescope.

He's got a parrot!

- He's probably a retired pirate.
- Pirates always have parrots.

He's working on his devilish crimes.

It's my turn now.

He's got a canon. He is a pirate!

Keep still, you two! You'll turn us over.

There's another island.

- They've got India rubbernecks.
- What?

- What can you see?
- Cormorants.

We must be near the coast of China.

The Chinese have cormorants.
They train them to catch fish for them.

Daddy sent me a picture!

They're fishing now.

-Look! Land ahoy! Land ahoy!

Standby to go about.

Ready? About.

Keep a lookout for a good landing place.

Aye, aye, sir.

And keep a good lookout for savages, too!

Sing out like anything
if you see any rocks under the water.

Aye, aye, sir.

How about there for landing?

Let's try.

Standby to go about. Ready? About!

Get the painter.

Susan!
You come forward and take this halyard.

Lower away!

Don't let's unpack now. Let's explore!

Might be a tidal wave.

Look!

Properly, we ought to have a flagpole
on the top.

What for?

To hoist a flag for a signal.

It'll make a superb lighthouse.

If any of us sail home after dark,
we could hoist a lantern up there.

We've got a lantern.

We haven't got any rope.

We could get some. Good idea!

Let's go and look for a camp now.

Okay. We'll split up.
Roger, you go that way.

Susan, that way. Titty,
you go that way and I'll go this way.

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

- What a lovely place for a camp.
- Well done, Roger!

Natives.

The natives knew
how to choose the right place.

Suppose they're still here…

These ashes look pretty old to me.

I think we're safe. Come on!
Let's fetch the tents.

You'll need much more than that.

Lovely!
You can see the fireplace from inside.

Everything's all right,
apart from the landing place.

Everybody can see it.

Titty, let's go see
if we can find a better harbour.

Oh! I'd better have the whistle.

- Oh, can I come?
- No.

You fill the kettle and I'll unpack.

That's got scum in it!

Come on. I'll show you how to do it.

We ought to have bought machetes
like Red Indians use. Ow!

Wow!

Come on! Let's get Swallow.

Look, all you have to do is put the spout
in the water and no scum comes in.

I expect someone hid on the island
hundreds and hundreds of years ago

and kept their boat here.

It's a perfect place
to keep Swallow safe at night.

It's marvellous,
but why didn't we see it before?

Oh! The rocks go out so far.

John? Why have you put this cross here?

I didn't.

It must have been here already.

Natives again.

Or cannibals.

This marks the spot
where they ate six missionaries!

Oh, the tea will spoil. Come on.

Oh, sorry.

We can begin our chart tomorrow

and put on it everything we discover.

We'll invent our own names.

Course we will.

Roger, eat your apple.

- Must I?
- Yes.

Mother says we must eat
plenty of green things

or else we'll all get scurvy.

What is scurvy?

Sailors die from it like flies!

Are you all right? Susan! Titty!

- Aye, aye, sir!
- Is the boy all right?

He's all right, Mr. Mate.
You ready for lights out yet?

Yes!

Lights out! Good night!

Good night!

Hello.

Hello. Where's Susan?

Asleep.

No she isn't! And, she's going bathing.

Time to get them out, John.

- It's cold!
- No, it isn't. It's lovely!

Don't just splash. Swim!

Mind, now.

If there's anything you want,
don't be afraid to ask for it.

Bad weather we're having.

Shoo.

You just get those dirty boots
out of my clean dairy.

I've had a good morning. Do you want some?

- Tobacco?
- No, bless you.

Bait, for when you go fishing.
Go get a purse down by the weeds.

How far down is your hook, Susan?

Just as far as my float will let me.

Mine's only three feet down.

That's no good.
It should be about a foot from the bottom.

Reel it in
and I'll push your float up for you.

John! Your float's gone!

It's a shark!

It's a shark!

Pull it in. Reel it in.

Pull!

Pull!

Do you think it's really safe to bathe
in this place?

I wouldn't like to be a fish.

But I'd like to be a fish
swimming under water.

You'll be like that soon.

It'll have to be

"Arctic" for the north.

And "Antarctic" for the south.

What shall we call the town?

Why not Rio?

Why Rio?

Because of the song "Away to Rio."

What about the bay where we fished?

Dixson's Bay. It's near the farm.

No. Shark Bay
because of Roger's great fish.

What do we call the place
where we saw the houseboat?

In this bay here.

Houseboat Bay. Hmm.

I wonder if the retired pirate

is writing on his treasure charts.

Do you think
he's the only retired pirate onboard?

Oh, maybe others below deck.

Slaves he gets to do all the dirty work.

He has an easy life, I bet.

Come on!

He must have fired his canon!

Look over there!

Who are those two boys?

Get down! They may be enemies. Ow!

They're pirates!

Let's chase them.

Let's!

Come on, then!

If they're pirates, why did the pirate
on the houseboat fire at them?

- Perhaps he didn't.
- He must have.

He's got a canon and the others haven't.

They're going around the island.
Let's go that way and head them off.

Why is he waving?

He's not waving. He's very angry.

A-M-A-Z-O-N. Amazon!

Hurry! Hurry! We're losing them.

They must be making for Rio.

They've given us the slip.

Let's go and explore Rio!

We could buy the rope
for the lighthouse tree.

Roger, you stay here
and look after Swallow.

Beware of natives!

And four bottles of Grog, please.

Ginger beer.

It's a lovely day.

Yes, isn't it?

That's a nice little ship
you've got there!

Yes.

Anything to report, boy Roger?

A native came along and said:
"That's a fine boat you've got there."

What did you say?

I said…

"Yes."

Roger!

Put them back. They're for supper.

Natives are quite good at some things.

You are a greedy little pig, Roger.

Why did the native on the houseboat
shake his fist at us today?

Perhaps this is his island.

What was that?

Oh, nothing. Probably a bird.

If this is his island,
then why doesn't he live on it?

-Much nicer for his parrot.

Don't touch the point:
it might be poisoned!

Shh!

It's him again.

He's winged his arrow
through that poor parrot's feathers.

Shut up, Titty!

We'll split up and search.

We'll need a signal.

One owl hoot means it's all right.
Three hoots means something's up.

- Come on! I'll take the landing place.
- Come on, Roger!

Swallow's gone!

Me and Roger pulled her right up.

She couldn't have drifted off.

Hooray! Hooray!

Halt!

- Hands up!
- Down on your faces.

The Amazons.

They're girls!

Stand up. Now hands up.

- Fully reload! Charge!
- Charge!

Halt!

All right then. No tricks.

- What have you done with our ship?
- Where's Swallow?

She's our prize. She's in our harbour.

Our harbour!

Your harbour? How long have you been here?

Days and days.

This is Wild Cat Island.
It's been our island for years and years.

Who built the fireplace?
Who marked the harbour?

The white cross?
Anybody can put a white cross on a tree.

Shows it's our island.

You don't even know
how the harbour's marked.

We… we do.

Come on then. Let's parlay. Weapons down.

- Peggy, you donkey. They've got our knife.
- I found it.

It's our knife. A present from Uncle Jim.

- We polished the canon on his houseboat.
- Shut up, Peggy!

Is he your uncle?

We thought he was a retired pirate.

That's a good thing for him to be really.

He could be Captain Flint.

But you're pirates, too.

That's why he hates us.

He knows what pirates are.

It's time for the parlay.

I'm John Walker, Master of the Swallow.

Susan, mate,
able seaman Titty and the boy Roger.

I'm Nancy Blackett,
Master and part-owner of the Amazon.

The terror of the seas.

This is Peggy Blackett,
mate and part-owner of the same.

Her name isn't Nancy really.

It's Ruth, but uncle Jim says
that Amazons were ruthless.

I'll shiver your timbers
if you don't stop chattering!

Let's be allies against Captain Flint
and all the natives.

You see, Captain Flint used to be friendly
but now he's worse than any native

because he's writing a book
and he hasn't time for us.

If we're allies, it doesn't matter
who the island belongs to.

You see, there ought to be two marks.

But two crosses would be too easy
for anyone to guess.

What's your other mark, then?

This tree here.

When you want to sail into the harbour,
you keep the cross here

and the tree in a straight line,
and you'll come clean through the rocks.

He bought the parrot in Zanzibar.
He's been all over the world, you know.

Mother said he was the black sheep.

Last year, he came home and he'd gathered
enough moss and meant to settle here.

Mother's his sister, you know.

Last year, he was one of us
and even bought us Amazon.

This year, he said he was
writing a book and refused to join in.

He's in league with natives.

We've tried everything to wake him up,
but it's no good.

It's ended by him forbidding us
ever to go near him.

- Did he really fire at you today?
- No, that was us.

It was the most marvellous banger
left over from last November.

It was a jolly good bang.

Let's plan a combined attack
on Captain Flint.

- Who'll be captain?
- I will, of course.

John's our captain.
There can only be one captain.

It should be me.

There are more of us
than there are you Amazons.

Let's fight for it.

- We'll try and capture each other's ships.
- Good practice.

Whoever wins will be flagship.

We'll win.

But where is your boat?

You go north across the wide open sea

until you reach our river.

The Amazon. Then you'll see our boathouse.
That's where we live.

The only trouble is the Amazons
know the lake much better than we do.

Yes, like those marks in the harbour.

If there was only something we could do

that they couldn't, that would be a help.

Got it!

Leading lights!

Roger, go into our tent
and get the lantern.

Bring a hammer and two large nails.

Look! There they are.

Are they in line yet?

No. Top right's a little to the left
of the lower.

Sing out when they're in line.

Left a little.

Now!

Left! Keep left! Right!

We've done it!

This will win us the war.

The Amazons think
they're safe from us at night!

Oh well.

No war today.

We can row.

Too far.

Have to wait until tomorrow.

We can do something else instead.

- What?
- We can go and explore.

- Where?
- Over there on the mainland.

It must be Niagara.
We could get a barrel and bounce down it.

Not today!

- It's a real forest.
- A jungle, almost.

We'd better keep together.

It's almost as good as a monkey.

If only there were some parrots.

Woodpeckers. They'll do.

They're savage parrots.

They say "pretty Polly"
in savage language.

Look! A ready-new wigwam.

And who are you?

Come to have a look, have you?

Good morning.

Don't know. It's blowing up.

Want to have a look inside, do you?

Folk generally want to.

May we?

Sit down!

- Do you always live here?
- Aye.

When we're burning charcoal,

someone has to keep the fire down
day and night.

That way, the charcoal is smooth and black

and good to use.

For artists to draw masterpieces with?

That's right, lass. Try a bit.

Want to see what we keep for luck?

What is it?

A snake. Would you like to see it?

Yes, please.

You're sitting on it!

Young Billy!

Dad's been showing you around, has he?

- Is he your son?
- That's right.

He doesn't look much like a son.

There.

Come on.

- Is it safe to touch?
- I wouldn't.

Never go near an adder.

Mind how you're stepping in the woods.

There's plenty about.
If you happen to step on one, he'll bite.

Get out of his way
if he hears or sees you.

Oh, look there.

A bit of vole.

Out he comes.

Like the adder is fire.

- Are you camping on the island?
- Yes.

You had those Blackett lasses
with you yesterday, hadn't you?

We saw that little boat.

I can remember when their mother
and master Jim used to come up here.

They were no bigger than you are.

The man on the houseboat?

Aye.

Captain Flint,
we're going to fight with him.

Quiet, Roger!

You know,

I think it'll be good if we let him know
what folks are saying.

You're right.

Will you see those lasses again?

Yes, as soon as there's the wind
for sailing.

Hm.

What's wrong with today?

This morning on the lake
there was a dead calm.

Ah, never mind.

You tell them to tell their uncle Jimmy...

But they can't! They're at war with him.

They'll tell him.

You tell them to tell him

that young Billy, that's me,

said to put a good strong padlock
on that houseboat of his

if he's leaving it alone at night.

Down in the pub, there's too much talking
going about that houseboat

and the valuables inside.

There's plenty of wild young lads
that are up to anything

without thinking twice.

We'll tell them.

Thank you very much for having us.

And thank you so much
for letting us see your lovely serpent.

- Goodbye!
- Goodbye!

Here!

Thank you.

- Goodbye!
- Goodbye!

Heave!

Heave!

In! Pull!

In! Pull!

In! Pull! Go on, give it your best!

Go on! Pull!

In! Pull!

In! Pull!

What is it, John?

How can I give a message to Captain Flint?
He's our enemy now.

"Called to tell you that you jolly well
better leave my houseboat alone."

"Once is quite enough. No joking.
James Turner."

But we never touched
his houseboat.

He is a beast!

You'd better go and see him.

Let's go and sink his beastly houseboat.

No, Susan's right.

I'll go and explain
and give him his message.

And he's used my crayons, too.

Now, look here. Did you find my note?

- Yes.
- Can you read?

Yes.

- Did you read it?
- Yes.

I told you to leave
my houseboat alone.

- Now you're here again. Clear out fast!
- But I never...

And if you've got any more fireworks,
you can best drop them in the lake.

- But I haven't.
- Oh, that was the last one, was it?

You did enough damage with it.

I've never had any fireworks.

At least, not since last November.

Now, that won't do!

I've never been near your boat.

Well, never as near as this.

Then who did set fire to her?

Clear off, I've nothing more to say.

But I came to tell you...

Clear off. I don't like talking to liars.

And don't let me see you here again.

Why'd you wave your legs in the air,
Titty?

I'm trying to be a cormorant,
but it's quite difficult.

Look! There's John.

- Did you see the parrot?
- Did you capture the houseboat?

What'd he say
when you gave him the message?

I didn't give him the message.
He wouldn't let me.

Did you declare war on him?

No.

He called me a liar.

You can't get a fairer wind than this.

Can we attack, then?

In naval warfare,
two things are important:

to know exactly what you want to do

and to do it in the manner
your enemy will least expect.

Amazons, beware!

It's a fair wind for the Swallows.

All we have to do
when they come is keep out of sight.

And, when they do come,
we'll slip away quietly,

go to the island
and, when they return, we'll take Swallow.

How do we manage all that?

Ah…

Take care, John!

Fine place for a lookout.
Let me have some more rope.

Tie the lantern on as I said,
and then we'll hoist it up.

I still don't see how we surprise them.

With this wind,

they expect us to attack them,

and do it early enough
to get back here in daylight.

- Yes, of course.
- But we don't.

Not until dark,
when they think that we've given up.

They don't know about our lights.

Then, we sail up their river

behind the boathouse,
and pinch their boat.

Then we sail both boats back here.

But what happens if they attack us first?

We'll watch and wait for them
on the lake all day.

Except me. I'll be staying here.

Are you sure you can manage
all on your own, Titty?

Of course.

I'd love to stay here.

You light the lantern,

and hoist it up as soon as
it starts to get dark.

The candles in the small ones
won't last long,

so don't light them until you're sure.

We'll give you an owl call
to let you know it's us and not the enemy.

Aye, aye, sir!

What do I do
when I've left you on the island?

It's obvious.

You sail on to the next bay,

while I wait for Swallow,

capture her and then come and join you.

But I want to be there
when you capture Swallow.

You can't be in two places at once.

It is the most exciting part.

What are you wearing?

You said put two of everything on.

I said bring,
not put on two of everything.

Pretend you're going to the north pole.

- All aboard!
- Don't forget about the lights, Titty.

Aye, sir.

Oh, oughtn't I have the telescope
for keeping watch?

Yes, I think you ought.

Thank you.

Swallows forever!

Good luck, Titty!

"Twenty-five years ago this day,

I, Robinson Crusoe, was wrecked

on this desolate place."

What a good place for a camp.

I'll build my hut here,

with branches and moss.

Can't be two tents
for one shipwrecked mariner.

Better not.

I'll leave with Man Friday,

when I find him.

It's a very Susan-ish tent.

I'll have to sleep up a tree
for fear of ravenous beasts.

I'm not afraid of ravenous beasts anyway.

Time for a feast.

They can't have gone by.

Come on, sun, hurry up! Sink!

I hope Titty's all right.

Man Friday!

Well, here goes!

They must have had supper ages ago.

I wonder what they're up to.

It could be quite dark soon.

I expect they've gone
to meet the Blackett children.

I'd heard you'd met them.

Man Friday oughtn't to know
anything about them.

Very well. I won't.

What are you doing all by yourself?

Well, properly, I'm in charge of the camp.

While they're away, it doesn't matter
if I'm Robinson Crusoe instead.

Man Friday?

Would you tell me some of your life
before you came to this island?

I was caught

by some very savage… savages.

They put me in a huge stew pot
and chanted strange songs.

Then what?

They lit a fire under the stew pot
and began to dance all around me.

What did you do?

I waited until no one was looking,

and I jumped out of the stew pot
and escaped.

Were you scalded badly?

Badly.

But I buttered the places that hurt most.

- What happens if they don't come?
- They're bound to. We just wait and watch.

Now for the enemy's stronghold.

Quiet, everyone.

Are you sure
you'll be all right by yourself?

They'll be back soon.

I hope so. It'll be dark fairly soon.

Would you like to come back with me?

Just for tonight.
We can leave a note for John.

I'd rather stay, thank you.

All right. Goodbye, Robinson Crusoe.

Goodbye, Man Friday!

That's for looking too hard.
Try the other eye.

We're in the river.

Any sign of the enemy's boathouse?

- No, Mr. Mate.
- Shh!

They mustn't hear us coming.

What's that?

A duck.

Don't overdo it.

There it is!

Shh, be quiet.

"To the Swallows."

"Ha ha. The Amazon Pirates."

Quite simple.

They've hidden her up the river.

That's an old pirate trick.

- Shouldn't we be getting back then, John?
- No!

Let's go up the river. Please, John.

It wouldn't take long.

We know they haven't put to sea.
We've been watching all day.

- Wild Cat Island and the Amazons forever!
- We've done them fairly brown.

This must be the place
they call the lagoon.

It's just the place for them
to hide their ship.

Susan, you take the oars now.
I'll keep a lookout.

I wish it wasn't so dark, though.

Something's pulling at my oars!

It's all right.

It's only water lilies.

Clings onto them like octopuses.

Perhaps they were octopuses.

Titty read out of a book
how they put their arms out

and grab people out of boats.

Nonsense, Roger.
They're only flowers.

I… I wouldn't mind
even if they were octopuses.

Look! Uncle Jim must be back.

It's easier if you slope the oars
down and forwards.

That way, they don't go deep in the water
and get stuck.

I can't move the tiller!

It's all stuck up with lily stalks
between the rudder and the boat.

They won't budge!

Careful!

Try now.

There isn't any light at all.

We'll never find the Amazons now.

If we wait until morning,
we might find her.

And what about Titty?

We'll go back. She'll be worried.

- Look! What's that?
- The lighthouse. Very thoughtful of them.

- Stand by to dive.
- Aye, aye, sir!

- Are you cold, Roger?
- Rather.

Thank goodness we can sail at last.

I'll raise the sail and reef.

Even father said not to be ashamed
to reef a small boat in the dark.

Almost exactly south east.

We'll have to tack all the way back.

But short tack so as not to hit the shore.

How will we know how far we've gone?

I'll count 100 on each tack.

Susan, you'd better snuggle down now.
I'll take this.

I'll need your help
for the islands off Rio.

One, two, three…

Six, seven, eight…

Watch the boom, Peggy!

Jolly good idea of us
to put lights on the mast.

What beats me is
how they got here before us.

- But they went up the river.
- They must have rode like smoke.

It's unbelievable.
Hey, why isn't Swallow in the harbour?

They must have left her
in the landing place.

Lit the lights
and then scooted off to camp.

I bet they'll pretend they've been there
for hours.

Come on, let's give them a fright.

Ahoy, Swallows! Swallows! Ahoy!

Ahoy! Swallows!

Swallows! Ahoy! Ahoy!

- Swallows! Ahoy!
- Where on earth are they?

She must have drifted.

- You can't have beached her properly.
- Me?

- She can't have drifted against the wind.
- Then we've been done.

- They've outwitted us.
- The Swallows?

- Who else, you chump-head?
- What do we do? We're meant to be in bed.

- And if we don't go to breakfast in...
- Shut up, Peggy.

Ninety-eight, ninety-nine…

- A hundred. Ready?
- About.

- One, two…
- Wouldn't Titty have liked this?

Liked what?

Sailing like this in the dark.

Six, seven, eight…

Nine…

Fifty-seven, fifty-eight…

Fifty-nine, sixty…

Sixty-one…

What's the matter?

Can't you hear it?

The wind in the trees.

We must be near the bank.
Quick, Susan, lower the sail!

Roger, catch it as it comes down.

Ow!

Give me the painter.

It's a landing stage, thank goodness.

What do we do now?

Stay here until first light.

What about Titty?

She's at the camp. She'll be all right.
She's got a tent.

We must be near now.

Not yet. Those kids
have got on the other island.

Another 100 yards at least.

Give us a hand.

I don't see why
we couldn't take it with us.

The bike and a car next week.

Blast, why didn't you
bring a chisel to smash it?

It'll take more than a chisel.

- I just hope it'll be worth it.
- It's heavy enough.

Whatever is in there
must be worth having.

Come on. Let's get away from here.

- It's Amazon.
- She's adrift.

No, she's at anchor.

- It's Amazon!
- Shh!

They must be asleep.

It's Titty!

I got her!

- Hooray! Well done!
- Well done, Titty! We've won the war!

Ahoy, Swallows! Ahoy!

Look!

Ahoy, Swallows!

What are they doing?

Nancy looks as if
she's dancing with rage!

What's that thing right there?

That's one of our blankets.

They're surrendering! It's a white flag!

It doesn't look very white to me.

Swallows!

Ready about.

Hurry up!

Do you surrender?

We jolly well do! Well, hurry up!

- No trickery!
- Honest pirate!

Honest Indian too!

Honest Indian. Honest anything you like!
Well, hurry up!

We're supposed to be in bed.

Captain Nancy, which ship is the flagship?

Swallow is. Yours was a great plan.

It was luck, really.

Titty was the real hero.

By thunder, able seaman.
I wish you were in my crew.

Nancy, we must be going.

Goodness, I forgot. We'll see you later.

Mother says we can camp here tonight.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Roger, time you're in bed.
- But it's tomorrow!

I don't care
if it's the day before yesterday!

Quick march.

-Mother.

I think I ought to talk to you.

I'll say you should.

Why were you back so late last night?

You know, after I left Titty, I spent
a long time on the lookout for you.

We didn't get back until morning.

Oh, the Blacketts made you
spend the night.

Poor Titty!

It wasn't poor Titty at all.
She did better than the rest of us.

She captured the Amazon.
All by herself.

Where were the Blacketts?

On Wild Cat Island.

And where were you?

Well, we were up the Amazon River.
Where they live.

And it got too dark.

We had to wait
until it was light enough to see.

Don't you think
that was very nearly like being duffers?

Well…

It was rather.
But it was war and our only chance.

I promise I won't stay out at night again.

Anyway, there's no need.
The war's over and we won.

Nobody caught a cold or anything.

All right.

But no more sailing at night,

and no more scrapes of any kind.

We've only got two days left

and I don't want any of you
getting into trouble.

Names and addresses, please.

My name's John Walker.

Name:

Walker.

Address?

Here.

Where?

Here.

Now, that won't do.

Where do you live?

In these tents.

Now, look here. Stop this nonsense!

You've gone too far this time.

I've had enough.

Enough of what, Uncle Jim?

What the devil are you two doing here?

What is going on?

Now Miss Nancy, your uncle's houseboat
was burgled last night.

He thinks these children did it.

What rot.
They never had anything to do with it.

They weren't even here last night.

We never did anything.

The charcoal burners told us to warn you.

And we came to tell you.

And you wouldn't listen.

What about that firework burning
Mr. Turner's roof, then?

- That was us, not the Swallows.
- You deserved it.

You haven't spoken to us all summer
because of your stupid book.

They warned you but you wouldn't listen.

Now you've been burgled,
it serves you right!

You've been an awful pig to John.

Young man, um…

It's all together my fault.

I should've known
you were telling the truth.

Anyhow, I should've listened to you.

I'm very sorry.

It's all right now.

What a cross, grand, curmudgeonly idiot.

If I'd listened to John…

My boat looked as if
half a hundred wildcats

had had a scrimmage in it.

- And, of course, they took my cabin trunk.
- Was it a heavy one?

It was rather.

Were there gold ingots in it?

Afraid not!

Typewriter diaries, old log books

and, worst of all,
the book I've been writing.

About your pirate past?

Well…

- Was it a very good book?
- I doubt it.

Now I might as well not have written it.

And been more friendly all summer.

Don't rub it in.

I didn't only come to warn you.

I came to declare war on you as well.

Oh, really?

That's very friendly of you.

Why not do it now?

Better late than never.
Or I'll do it for you.

I challenge you to capture my boat
at 3 pm tomorrow afternoon.

Accept! Accept!

Blood and thunder, death or glory!

He can be a jolly good pirate
when he wants to.

Well, I must be off.

- Captain, I know where the treasure is.
- What?

I heard some pirates burying it
last night.

Steady on, Titty.

They had a huge box.

- It was very heavy.
- You were dreaming.

- I wasn't. I heard them.
- It's the middle of the night.

Captain Flint, you must believe me.
It's true.

I only wish I could.

Well, goodbye Swallows and Amazons.

Bye.

Pull harder, Roger!

Ow! My knee.

Which knee was it?

The one which I didn't scrape before.

At least, not the one
which got scraped last, but the other one.

Roger!

Look! The treasure must be here!
I found this!

One of the pirates must have dropped it.

We found it!

Lower sail as we come alongside.

Swallow on port side! Amazon on starboard!

He can't go for both of us!

Fleet will now attack!

Amazons forever!

- Kill! Kill!

Death or glory!

Man the compasses!

Death to Captain Flint!

Swallows and Amazons forever!

Down with the White Elephant!

Not while my flag flies!

Elephants! Elephants forever!

We won. Your flag is struck!

So it is. Well…

That was quick work.

- I surrender!
- Bind him! Come on! Bind him!

Don't laugh!

Hands up for making him walk the plank.

Look here, no weakening now.

It's too good a plank to waste.

Don't you think we ought to untie him
and give him a chance to swim for it?

All right, we agree. All hands up.

Bandage his eyes
and make him walk the plank.

A clean handkerchief, I hope!

Mine. Well, it was clean yesterday.

Will someone help that pirate
out of my helmet and put it on my head?

A last wish.

Mercy! Mercy!

Now walk, you son of a seadog.

Perhaps he can't swim.

I never thought of that.

Sharks!

Place is tiff with them!

Are there really sharks there?

A rope!

Ah, my foot!

Are they ready yet?

Nancy says are you ready?

Almost. Just a moment.

A rope!

You heard, pirates! A rope!

He's been in the water a long time.

And you'll never be in league
with the natives again?

Never.

A rope!

All right, Nancy!

We'll give you a rope.

I'd rather have a rope ladder.

There's one just there by the springboard.
I mean the plank.

A rope! Pass the end over.

Well, that's that.

Even Amazons aren't ruthless enough

to make a man walk the plank
twice in one day.

Are all my sins forgiven?

If so, after every great sea battle,
there's always a big banquet.

And there's one waiting for you inside.

Captain Flint,
we've got a surprise for you.

And what's that, able seaman?

My book! Goodness me.

What a find!

Say "pieces of eight."
Come on, "pieces of eight."

- Pretty Polly…
- You're not fit to be a pirate's parrot.

The ices still seem pretty firm.

I think we ought to start on them
straight away.

Excuse me. Here you are, ladies.

Thank you.

- Roger.
- Thank you.

You mustn't eat ices
after walking the plank.

They'll give you a chill.

By Jove, I suppose I shouldn't.

You did walk the plank most awfully well.

Practice.

The Swallow and the Amazon!

That's what they're supposed to be.

There you are.

It's jolly well not fair.

It's schools and lessons for us,

while you junk about
and enjoy yourself all winter in Africa.

I'm not enjoying myself.

It's really quite a hard job.

I wish I was going to Africa.

I'd see forests full of parrots.

I'll bring you back one, then.

It's the least I could do.
Which kind do you prefer?

- I like green ones best.
- Oh!

I may as well bring one all round,
if that's what you want.

No, thank you.

- Please may I have a monkey instead?
- With or without a tail?

With a tail, please.
The others are only apes.

It has been a grand holiday.

But much too short.

Oh, cheer up!
You're coming back next year, aren't you?

Next year and for all the other years
forever and ever.

-Uncle Jim, play your accordion.

Say "pieces of eight." Just once. Please.

Pieces of eight!

Well, shiver my timbers.

He never said it for us.

I say, Titty,

it is a long time to wait
until I come back in the spring.

Why not have Polly now?
You always said you like green ones.

Am I really to take him?

Of course you are.

You've earned him 10,000 times over.

Thank you! Thank you so much.

Won't you be lonely without him?

I have to think of him too, you know.

He is a young parrot.

And it's better for him to be
with young people like you

than with an old retired pirate like me.

He's not so very old.

Come along now, old thing!
