Captain Grant Iu. Iureyev

Jacques Paganel N. Cerkasov

July 26 1864, The Duncan departs on its maiden voyage

off the coast of Scotland.

Shark!

Shark!

- A shark off the Scottish coast? - That was lucky.

Let's see what we've got here.

There are some papers inside.

Apparently it's the same document written in three languages.

- I can't read it - The water's got into the bottle.

There are only fragments of words left.

- Let's compare them with each other. - Yes. Yes.

What's the English text of this French or German.

Glas ... Glas .. Glasgow.

Bring ... Bring .. your...

What, for help.

Come to the rescue.

Tannia ...

Tannia ... Britannia.

Au.. Au.. Austral ... Southern

There's something here?

On June 6 1862 ...

A sailing ship with three masts ... Britannia from Glasgow ...

sank ... sank.

In the southern hemisphere.

I threw this document ...

at 37 degrees 11 min...S

Come to our aid ...

otherwise we'll all die.

- Captain ... - But where did the ship sink?

The latitude's here, but where's the longitude. It's indecipherable.

- I see. -But no longitude.

... GONIA, ... gonia.

Patagonia.

Of course, Patagonia, and Captain Grant...

Look here: May 30, 1862, Glasgow "Britannia", Captain Grant ...

Remember 10 years ago he came up with a proposal to the Scottish people

and even the poorest gave what they had.

And with the money he built a boat and left

in search of land for a new home.

Can we save this wonderful man?

Let us address the Lords of the Admiralty.

And that's all you know?

The documents are fragmented.

We cannot send a rescue vessel.

Milord ... if the Admiralty would only...

It would mean searching the whole of Patagonia for just one man.

We've already thrown millions in looking for Franklin.

How can we finance an expedition destined to failure.

Miss Helen, two children have come aboard.

they wish to speak with Mr. Glenarvan ..

Excuse me...

I'd like to talk to Mr. Glenarvan.

Mr. Glenarvan is not here. I am his wife, can I help you?

The newspaper writes that on board The Duncan, Captain Glenarvan

has some information on Captain Grant.

I am the daughter of Captain Grant. My name is Mary.

- And this is my brother Robert. - Miss. Grant.

Miss Mary!

- Well, how did it go? - The Admiralty refused.

to finance a rescue expedition.

- They can't forget Grant's Scottish. - Nobody wants to help Dad.

- This is Mary Grant. - Can we save them?

Then we must go alone to save him. Mary!

Dear boy how can we do this?

If everyone in Scotland gave my father 6 pence each

then they will give a penny to his son to help rescue him.

This money will be enough to save Captain Grant.

You're right, boy!

Inspired by this noble goal to save the life of Captain Grant

Glenarvan and his friends set out on a journey

both long and dangerous.

- John will take care of it. - He's a good sailor.

When do we eat around here?

Good morning.

- So, when do we eat here? - At 9:00 am.

To whom do I have the honour of speaking?

Jacques Paganel. Jacques Francois Marie Paganel.

Secretary of the Institute of French geographers.

Corresponding Member of the Geographical Society of:

Leipzig, Petersburg and New York.

Member of the Royal Academy of India, etc. etc..

- Mrs. Helen Glenorvan. And who are you?

John Mangles, captain of this vessel on which you stand.

But how did you get here?

- I'm going to India. - India? But we're going to Patagonia.

- Patagonia? - Yes, We're going in the opposite direction!

To Patagonia.

- What do you mean: Patagonia? - Yes.

- Patagonia? - Yes.

Duncan. Patagonia. Yes. Yes.

I boarded at night in the fog. On the wrong ship.

It I could only happen to me.

You should have been more careful? - Yes. Sure.

I embarked on the vessel "Scotland" going to India,

I boarded, I slept in cabin 6.

- But not on "Scotland" but on The Duncan.

Listen: You're not going to India,

we've only just started, so you can return the ship.

No. We're not going to Patagonia for pleasure but to save

Captain Grant who was shipwrecked.

To save Captain Grant?

In that case I'm happy that I made this mistake.

To be on this ship, sailing with such noble goal.

Come with us.

Atlantic Ocean

Passing the Canary Islands and crossing the Tropic of Cancer,

The Duncan sails along the coast

of South America.

In 42 days, the travellers have reached the coast of Patagonia,

waiting for the arrival of the only person

who could give information about Captain Grant.

Mr. Connor.

Very pleased to meet you Mr Connor.

I'm afraid that no information concerning

Captain Grant's ship has reached us.

But that's impossible. The papers in the bottle clearly say:

... GONIA, latitude 37.

So surely it must mean Patagonia.

Aha! Captain Grant is somewhere within the country!

But the bottle?

To throw the bottle in the ocean you have

to be on the coast.

Or on the banks of a river flowing into the ocean.

- You could be right! - Absolutely!

What do you suggest?

I propose ...

... to cross South America by parallel 37.

- But so many dangers for my father. - Dangers?

- Who said dangers? - Not me!

We'll have a good long walk 1,900 km. which will last

not more than a month.

Look at the map: We start on the coast of Chile.

continuing on latitude 37, we arrive at the Andes,

There are any number of rivers which could have carried our bottle.

What? Childish nonsense? Only 2,000 kilometres, no more.

No problem.

A walk in the park.

After only a few hours we'll have the snowy peaks right in front of us.

The magnificent waterfalls tumbling down.

Up in the clear, cool air, ah what a vision!

the kingdom of everlasting snows.

At 12,000 metres, vast fields of white.

Leaving the famous volcano Antuco

then it's gently downhill until we reach the Pampas.

Have you found it?

- Then Point Medano and the Atlantic. - And I'll find my father?

I find him anywhere, my boy, even if

I have to cross the globe.

You forgot the The Duncan, Paganel.

Ah! How shall the The Duncan reach the Atlantic shore?

Around Tierra del Fuego and we'll see you at Point Medano.

But who takes care of our ladies?

- I. - I.

Then I'm crossing America with you.

In this case, I'll come with you.

- I. - I.

You are my second in command. To you I entrust everything that is dearest to me.

After leaving The Duncan, the brave travellers spent 8 days

in reaching the Antushian Canyon

There is no pass and losing our horse...

It would have been better to get some guides?

I know my way through these mountains better than any guide.

at 12,000 feet began the kingdom of everlasting snows.

- The volcano Antuco ...

I know this road as well as my own back yard ...

Captain, Captain, cosy isn't it?

Ah! I think we've arrived.

I told you that on this side of the sierra

the descent is very easy. - Very, very!

Where's Robert?

Robert!

There! Robert.

Shoot! Shoot!

No, you try

No, you'll kill Robert.

Aim, but be careful.

Who fired?

Robert!

- Robert - Take him. He's alive.

He's alive.

- Jacques ... Paganel. - Talgav.

Talgav in araukana means: Thunder.

This name means that he's a good shot.

We are looking for Captain Grant who was shipwrecked

on the shores of Patagonia.

- Please help to find this boy's father. - Please help find Daddy.

Tauka!

Passing by Tierra del Fuego The Duncan followed

the coast of South America to Medano.

Miss Mary I wanted to tell you ...

... Do not you see? ...

On land, their journey reached the Pampas Salinas

the endless plains of South America.

Tropical flood waters have swallowed up the plain.

- What is it? - Tauka senses danger.

Flood ...!

The Colorado and Rio Negro rivers had burst their banks

and formed an endless expanse of water.

A foggy November 13th: The Duncan reaches Medano.

where the two groups of passengers were to meet.

I can't see anything.

Nothing

- Miss Mary! - What?

- If you only knew ... - Blasted fog.

I can't hear you.

Miss Mary ... if you only ...

Speak up, will you.

Could you ...

- No, you see. - A fire!

- Where? - I see.

I see it.

There are people, look!

Is there no chance of me finding my father?

No Robert, there's still hope. We'll continue on the 37th parallel

and keep going to the end of the world.

- Where is the 37th parallel? - Dear Paganel, tell us

where does it go?

Latitude 37 ... Crosses South America

passing over the Atlantic Ocean and Tristan de Cunha

across the Indian Ocean and St. Peter's Island

then passes through Aus ... Australia ...

and after Australia... Good God!

Well I never!

We've been looking for Captain Grant in the wrong place.

We've not been reading the documents properly.

- Austral doesn't just mean south

- What is it?

Australia, Australia. That's where we should be looking.

I see your point, but you're probably wrong.

I will prove I'm right and erase your doubts.

It will be the greatest victory

of the French over the British.

If you are so confident, then I can only say one thing:

- To Australia! - To Australia!

To our Australian friends!

It's so difficult to part with you Talgav.

Thank you for everything.

This is my father. I shall tell him about you when I find him.

- You look like your father, amigo.

Not only have I lost my dad, but now I 'm losing you.

There they are! Get ready

Mary, our father is in Australia.

South Atlantic

Continuing their path on parallel 37

on December 20th The Duncan reached

Bernouilli, on the east coast of Australia.

John, we will go into depths of the continent,

and you take The Duncan on to Melbourne for repairs.

I've been here for 30 years and in all this time no vessel

has sunk in the bay.

Do you know anything of our father?

Our documents say that Grant is on parallel 37.

I've never heard of Captain Grant.

If captain Grant is alive...

then he's to be found in Australia.

- Who is it?

- Ayrton. A worker on the farm.

Tell us Sir. Tell us everything you know.

- Yes, Ayrton! - Tell us ...

Tell us ...

I was one of the crew on Captain Grant's ship.

A storm swept me overboard and I was washed up on the shore.

I've never seen Captain Grant since. Here are my sailor's papers.

My father's signature.

Where was the shipwreck?

On the opposite side of Australia.

The ship went down on the terrible reefs of Twofold Bay.

A boat went out, to look for survivors.

It's impossible. The Duncan has gone on to Melbourne.

Let's cross Australia on parallel 37.

Sir, take me with you.

I will be your guide and can help you find the Captain.

Australia parallel 37

To the daughter of the famous English captain,

from a humble French geographer, flowers from Australia.

Ayrton suggested that they stop at the Royal Inn.

Hey, innkeeper, feed the animals and unsaddle my horse.

The horse is with the blacksmith.

What a strange horseshoe!

It makes it easier to find the animals.

If the horses are lost we can follow their tracks.

The Colonial Police will pay 100 pounds to whoever brings

dead or alive, the escaped convict Ben Joyce

or his accomplices.

From now on I think, the journey becomes more dangerous.

We have women with us.

For people resolute and well armed

a few escaped prisoners will present no problem.

I'm ready to carry on.

So would anyone who has served under my father's command.

After resting and collecting supplies, the travellers start out

into an almost unknown region, the Province of Victoria.

What's the matter, Ayrton?

A local disease.

Where's my horse?

Come here. Help!

Someone ...

What a strange disease.

An unexpected obstacle barred their way

How do we get across the river?

The road has been washed away, We cannot pass.

Ayrton, when will the water level fall?

Not for about a month.

If you agree, I can return to the ship

and we can continue on towards Twofold Bay.

How will you cross to the other side?

I'll follow the shore until I reach Melbourne.

And in a little over 10 days return with help.

Well. You can go.

... land ...

... land ... land ...

... Land!

Zealand. New Zealand!

Are you sure we're going right way?

Maybe you have a hypothesis?

Assumptions should not come before science.

Have you changed your mind now?

But, Land ... Land!

Have a a cigarette. It'll calm you down.

Land... Zealand.

New Zealand.

At sunrise, Ayrton was ready.

Ayrton, it's strange that only your horse is healthy.

Isn' it.

Look! Look!

The horseshoes from the inn.

That "fine grass" no doubt, has finished all the animals.

I'm taking a message to The Duncan

and in 4 days we'll become absolute Masters of the Seas.

- Good thinking! - Bravo, Ben Joyce!

Don't let him get away. He mustn't get back to the camp.

- Where's Robert? - Don't worry.

Perhaps he's with his friend, Ayrton,

Go up the river, there's a bridge.

I'll take orders from the captain of The Duncan and go on to Melbourne.

See you later, on board The Duncan.

Help! Help!

Robert, my boy, what's happened? Who did this?

- Ayrton? - Yes.

Hurry, as fast as you can and warn Mr. Glenarvan,

Ayrton is Ben Joyce.

- I'm ready now. - Write please.

We propose to John Mangles in charge of The Duncan

to proceed to Twofold Bay on the coast of Eastern Australia.

Australia, yes of course, Australia.

At 37 degrees longitude.

Maybe you could recommend me to the Captain?

To John Magles, I recommend to you Ayrton ...

Don't do it!

Take this. - Why?

If we catch him we'll hang him.

Fire!

We must get to The Duncan before that devil Ayrton

to warn Captain Mangles

On January 27 1865, the exhausted travellers

finally arrived at Twofold Bay.

The Duncan from Melbourne has it been here

In Twofold Bay?

The Melbourne records report that The Duncan

left on the 18th of this month for an unknown destination.

It is not in port.

Our friends are in the hands of the gang led by Ben Joyce.

- How can we get back to Europe? - By Aukland

By Aukland? Do you recommend this route?

It's rather odd that it just happens to be on the 37th parallel.

I didn't realise.

Something rather unforgivable for a geographer!

- Yes? - Yes!

Captain Halley, are you going to New Zealand, Aukland?

What, take passengers? How many people?

Six, including two women.

60 pounds, paid in advance.

Nowhere in the southern hemisphere was there a vessel

as decrepit and poorly led than The Macquarie.

For many days they drifted, helpless and far from land.

Don't worry, we'll be alright. If we're south of Tasmania

we'll reach New Zealand. A piece of heaven.

A translucent ocean among pink coral reefs,

washing warm sandy beaches.

Sparkling and crystal clear waters

cascading down the blue mountainsides.

In a small clearing I hear a brook trickling...

streams of blue water, whose freshness

trickling...

cool water ...

Water ...

A ship! A ship!

John! My dear John!

Miss Mary, Hoorah!

What luck John. You being off the shores of New Zealand.

- It was your order - How can it be?

- Ayrton's here? - Ayrton is on board.

- Bring him here - Now.

He told me to leave Melbourne and head for Twofold Bay.

I don't understand, only to go to Australia?

Yes, but your order was to go to New Zealand.

New Zealand? Show me your order.

You ordered John to take the ship to the west coast

of New Zealand ... - But why New Zealand?

That's what you have written?

- Paganel? - Me?

I was too full of my new hypothesis!

It's a good thing I didn't send The Duncan to the South Pole.

- Let's eat.

You know very well what awaits you, Ben Joyce, if guilty.

We'll hand you over to the Queen's soldiers.

Ben Joyce, tell us what really happened.

Alright, I will tell everything.

I was with Captain Grant.

I believed in his goal of founding a new land.

But he and I, we argued.

He was a hard man. And I was as inflexible as he.

Finally things could no longer continue betwen us.

We were searching for land, but getting nowhere.

I decided to take control of the ship

and persuaded the other sailors to join me.

But I was caught and taken prisoner.

Ayrton, where is my father?

He put me ashore here in Australia

and then went on to New Zealand.

Aha! New Zealand.

I was right! ... Land... Zealand

It's written in the document, New Zealand.

Take him away.

The voyagers have seached

all the islets of New Zealand, but have not found Captain Grant.

Mary, don't give up. I know we'll find him.

It's important to be brave.

Captain John believes that father will be found.

Did you hear? Have you heard it?

Oh, me too... Father!

Help! Dad!

Dad! My father is there.

Captain Grant!

Last island. Last hope.

Father... Daddy...

My dears, if you only knew, how often on my rock,

I've searched for a boat to take me...

ah my darlings, to see you again.

to take me, even to that land I once left

in search of new lands.

In all that time we only saw twice or three times, a mast.

Only a glimpse and gone.

So passed two and a half years.

But yesterday, to the north... A new mast.

I saw a ship approaching, directly towards us.

And then I decided to come to you.

I could die of happiness! We have found one another.

Shall we set sail?

Yes, John.

We have finally got there.

Captain, I hope that I may regain my freedom

and that I can return home.

I will grant you that wish.

Thank you sir!

Despite all that has happened I've never stopped dreaming.

If I don't achieve my goal I am sure my children will do so.

For that I'd give my whole life.

I know there will come a day when each poor man

will be sovereign lord of his own country.

So ended the round the world trip of The Duncan

which completed one of the most wonderful voyages of the 1860s.
