I've got a coin for a cup of tea governor.

Oh god, this is a company.

I've got a coin for a cup of tea governor.

Got a coin for a cup of tea governor.

Got a coin for a cup of tea?

Oh, what about this, then, hey?

Oh, blimey looking.

Oh, denying it.

You've got the finest velvet flush-frocker in Charleston.

No, no, Mr. Stolke, but my wife is still going to scout me for getting it just the same.

Why? You said she's been wanting a chair like that.

You don't exactly know Rebecca, what she wants and what she thinks you ought to have,

her two entirely different things.

Andrew'll throw some meal sacks around that.

What'd you get it?

Made it.

Would you let me blow it once?

Keep it if you like.

Couldn't do that.

Then why not? It's my new gift, and I can always wittle myself another one when I got in need of it.

Well then, can you say so? I should have thanked you.

My name's Willie.

My name's Israel, Israel Boone.

Yeah, that's your now. If you've got a bit of line, I'll lash it to the deck so she'll ride with our quiver.

Sure.

What's the matter? You sick or something?

Okay, could I get in the back of your wagon? I've got to hide somewhere just for a bit, please.

Sure.

What another one there.

What's the matter?

Lieutenant Parker of his Majesty's Royal Marines at your service, sirs.

We have reason to suspect that there is a mutineer from his Majesty's ship, the Mollie Sean, hiding here about.

In accordance with Article 27 of the Treaty between the British Empire and the United States of America, we request permission to search these premises.

Just so you keep your hands out of my pickle barrel.

Well, if I was to stokey, I'd just hope on my next trip to Charleston I won't have to bring this rock to my seat.

Oh, all Mrs. Boone has to do is sit in at once.

Is that your wagon, sir?

I think I'd like to search it.

No, Pa, don't let him.

Well, son, it won't hurt anything. Let him have a look.

I'll step aside, boy.

But I got everything in place. It all tied up good.

Please, Pa.

Well, there's one you, uh, have done a good job. It would be a shame to have to do it all over again.

Sorry, Lieutenant.

Do I understand that you're defying the stipulations of the treaty between your country and mine?

Well, now, Lieutenant, I'm not to sure your treaty necessarily covers this wagon.

It'll put these behind the seat. We've got a long way to go. Lieutenant Pardin, if I was stokey.

My regards to Mrs. Boone, Daniel.

Hurry up, Pa. Please.

Help!

Daniel Boone, Daniel Boone, what a doer, what a dream comer, truer, was he.

From the coonskin cap, on the top of old Dan to the hill in his claw, I'd chew.

The rip and destroyer, his fight, Miss Ben. The frontier ever knew.

Oh, Daniel Boone was a man, just a big man.

With an eye like an eagle and as tall as a mountain was he.

Oh, Daniel Boone was a man, just a big man.

And he fought for America to make all Americans free.

Daniel Boone was a doer, what a dream comer, truer, was he.

Daniel Boone, Daniel Boone.

All right, son. Don't you think it's about time you told me what this is all about?

Oh!

Come on out!

You all right? Come on.

Pa, this is Willie.

Willie?

Where are you figuring on head and son?

He wants to go with us, Pa.

Now you let him talk, Israel. He might want to go back to Charleston.

He doesn't want to go back, Pa. I know. He wants to go with us.

Please, Pa.

Well, if you're going to go with us, you better climb on up so we can get started.

Thank you, Gavin.

I'm sorry.

Is it Rockgood and A.C. Becky?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, no, I could swear that chair was rocking when I stepped in.

I figured you'd been trying it out.

Well, I wasn't. I just must have bumped into it as I crossed the floor. That's all.

But I did not sit in it.

Oh, come on, Becky.

Try it. Sitter. Just once.

No.

All right, then I'll sit.

Daniel Boone.

Now, you know we can't afford a luxury like that.

Be quite a spell for it. Take it back to Charleston.

Well, you're just going to have to get it out of my sight, then.

The cabin's a safest and driest place. It might ride out there in the lane, too.

Daniel Boone.

Now, I'm a weak woman.

And it just isn't fair to set a temptation like that right in front of my fire.

Becky, you are the finest temptation fighter in all of Kentucky, if not the whole world.

Now, if you don't want to sit and rock in that chair, you won't. So, you just stop threatening.

Well, he's doing a right good job of patching a roof.

That's one chore I can stop putting off.

Thanks to Willie, there are a number of chores you can stop putting off.

He's already repaired the drawers in the high voice so they don't stick anymore.

He's short of the spring house and he's built three new shelves.

I don't think I've ever seen anybody quite so handy.

Becky, is he ever talked to you at all?

Don't he bring me ever talks to his Israel?

Most he ever said to me was, thank you, Governor. That's when we were leaving Charleston.

Something sure got his tongue tied up.

Dan, do you suppose he is the mutant near those Marines we're looking for?

I don't know, Becky.

Maybe I'd be more honest if I were to say I... I don't want to know.

You can't, Dan. That line like a run of your rain tank.

Oh, you'll get faster though. When you get your growth.

When I get my growth, I'm fashioning you are now.

I don't know.

Oh, you'll get faster though when you get your growth.

I get my growth.

I'm fashion you are now!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

You could be a thought top man with a bit of practice.

What's a thought top man?

Well, he meant a thought top song.

You mean like on a ship?

That's right.

Boy, you know all about ships, don't you?

What's wrong?

I can't say.

I wouldn't know how to tell you.

What's it like, Israel?

Living in a house?

I don't know.

You know it's...

I don't know.

For the simple reason that I never left him, mind.

Must be grand or right.

I reckon.

Don't suppose I ever thought about it.

I thought a lot about it.

Just now I thought.

Wouldn't I like to build myself a little house?

Out there.

Just living it.

Why don't you?

There's an old cabin you could fix up.

You'd like it, I know you would.

I...

There's no chance for it.

How do you know?

Listen, why don't you talk to my pa about it?

Ask him!

Why don't you?

Look, could you think you might step out here and have a word with me?

Sure, I'll go get him.

Don't hurry him now.

He's having his tea.

Pa drinks coffee.

I'll go get him.

Oh.

I'll go get him.

I'll go get him.

Oh.

Oh.

Well, you're doing an uncommon amount of work for me.

Well, you might say I.

Say, I...

It's work I know how to do.

You see, Mr. Boone.

I served as can't be dismayed on his magice to ship Molly Shaw.

I'm sure you must have uttered the ship Molly Shaw.

The terrible mutiny and all.

Seems I recall and re-muted and chucked and said something about it.

Aye.

Well, that's me, the Marines are after.

There was a mutiny on the Molly Shawner.

I was in it.

And they catch me, I'll hang for sure.

How old are you, Wayne?

Don't know for sure, sir.

Well, what are you doing this mutiny? Kill somebody or...

Oh, I give you my word. I never raise my hand against the soul.

Well, in that case, what do they want to hang you for?

Because I didn't all in my power to stop him.

The law says I must...

...guilt his to worst of him.

Well, could you have stopped him, Warren?

Oh, no, sir. They had knives and guns.

And most of them had drink.

It was horrible.

They chopped up the captain and threw him overboard.

And the percer, Boseon, and the midshipman...

...said they'd give me some of the same if I didn't stay in my hammock out their way.

Without you and Israel, I'd be properly unguhibited by now.

I want to stay here, Mr. Boone.

But would you let me?

Well, Willie, it's not for me to say.

But it is a free country.

Hi, it is.

Then you wouldn't turn me in.

No.

But if the people here should find out what I've just told you...

The folks here in Boone's borough are not so interested in the man's past.

But they're more interested in what he's going to do right here now.

Oh, I'm blessed you, sir.

There could be no doubt what I intend to do right here and now.

I intend to find a solid piece of timber and lay the keel for my own little house.

Lay a keel for a house?

You're gonna have to excuse me, Governor.

It's gonna take me a while to get the salt water out of me, talk.

That's... That's too clean.

If you'd like that for a while, we're done rounding.

You should be done far clean. I get so...

It's the name of the woman.

Come here, Miss. You can move away from this.

This is what it looks like.

Well, I'll say one thing for you. You never sneak up on a man. Always hear your coming.

Willie, how's that new house here's coming?

That day gets secure.

That day gets secure, huh?

Hi.

And the Boone's promise to come and have a look see this evening.

My very first visit in you might say.

I was wondering if you come too.

Well, I'll say one thing.

There ain't a soul in this settlement that ain't curious what's going on out there.

I would be proud to come and have a look, see?

In that case, I'll take a jug of your best rum.

I jug of my best rum.

Jug, my best rum.

This overstreet paid me for making the report seat in the spindle jet.

Willie, I've never known you to take a drink before.

No, sir. And very likely you never will.

Fewer Mr. Boone this evening.

When you see my little house, you may have need for a drop.

Then to it's good to keep in the cupboard.

Now that I'm settled in, maybe folks will come and visit me once in a while.

I didn't count on that.

Seems to me next to Dan and Boone himself, you've got more friends than anyone in Boone's borough.

Oh, you're in for a run-off.

Oh, my, Willie. The place of the beautiful.

And mighty comfortable looking, too.

And that chair you made us, he and I are always arguing over who's going to sit in it most.

Fine workmanship, Willie.

Willie, please.

Here's the real, get down from there.

Wish I had a bed like this.

I expect it might make it a bit easier to dust under.

That's not where the ship captains have them.

It's where they can seep on an even keel, even when the sea runs high.

Right, Willie?

Right, Israel.

Dan?

I think now it might be the proper time.

All right.

Willie, uh, this is not you, but at least it's serviceable. At least that's what Cincinnati says.

Oh, just got a trigger.

At any rate, it's from all of us and, uh, well, we just thank you all to have one.

I got just the place for it.

I was going to get one as soon as I could afford it anyway.

Did you let me shoot at some time?

Of course.

Should have worn out your team up.

No, thank you, Willie.

Mr. Upstreet.

No, thank you.

Simpson, that is.

Oh, well, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Simpson, that is.

Oh, well, since how it's my own, I...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Uh, I tell you, I just can't get over how you put this place together all by yourself.

It's just as neat and clean as a captain's cabin on a fine ship.

Fine, John.

Willie, you have been more than hospitable.

Better, I think it's time for us to go.

All right, listen.

Now, thank you all for stopping in.

See you later, Willie.

Good night, bud.

Good night, Willie.

Good night, Willie.

Good night, Willie.

Good night, Willie.

Good night, Willie.

Willie, uh, I know you're proud of your house with good calls.

I just want you to know that we're all proud of you and with good calls.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Blimey.

He got yourself up like a land lover, but it's you all right.

Ha ha!

William Crawford.

Oh, oh, oh.

Nice snob, little Bertie, have your ain't ya?

Very snog indeed.

Ooh.

Well, where are your manners, baby lad?

You can't stand there gawking while a tired old shipmate gets fainty on his feet, eh?

Oh, I see you'll have to help myself, won't I?

Oh.

Who are you anyway?

Oh, am I anyway?

My name's George Perkins, Bosen's mate on the good ship's surprise, but a smollet, the anchor, for sure beauty.

I see you look scared out of your wits.

I haven't brought the British Marines with me, that's what you're thinking.

How'd you know my name's Willie Crawford?

If it is my name.

Carpenters mate William Crawford, serving on his Majesty's ship, Molly Sean, formally?

Oh, have a sit, baby boy, have a sit, I wouldn't, I'm your friend, if you're in the world.

Just an old shipmate, paying a friendly visit, you know?

I rode down here with a preacher, man.

He hadn't got a drop in his wagon.

I'll tell you something, baby lad, I'd sooner say around Cape Horn in a longboat than I would make that voyage over land from Charleston, Arba.

And why wouldn't old sailing man like himself become in where I ear to Boon's borough?

Well, I ain't a Molly Sean Mute and ear who doesn't like the thought of hanging from the yard down.

I don't find that mutiny.

I believe in that, I believe in it.

I had to do it, they told me.

What did they tell you?

They told me to play my flute so they could dance on the quarter deck.

Oh, oh, oh, play your flute, I'm so naked.

I'll tell you something, baby lad.

I'd have gone my way in Charleston that day, and he had to stop for a, for a, for a jog and then, you know, I suddenly heard you piping a sailor's tune and I stopped and listened and then the sun caught that little bit of silver.

Oh, baby lad, I fancied it.

Of course I knew you were hiding from the blooming marines, but I fancied it.

Oh, I still fancied it.

Well, you got your name cut right into it, William Crawford.

You've had the devil's own luck.

You were wanted men running from the crown.

It's a miracle you haven't had to trade that silver chain for a length of imp.

Pfft! He he he.

How did a bucko like you get a piece of silver like that, eh?

I don't know.

I always had it.

If it's a sucker, remember.

How come you didn't turn me in? That day in Charleston?

I expect there's a price on me, Ed.

Or might be a small reward, but not much. Not one of the leaders I had.

So why should I do a thing like that?

Nobody wants to be an informer.

Unless, of course, they ask to.

Blimey, where does this say that like you?

Get all these vittles and rum so far from the sea, eh?

I do work for the folks in the settlement.

Make something they need or...

Men something this broke.

I'd get along.

Yeah, I can see that.

What more can a man want than a warm cabinet?

Bend it or eat and drink, eh?

Blimey, a real captain's birth.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Ha, ha, ha!

I've always wanted to sleep like a ship's master.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Thank you

I've stopped staring and...

beneficiaryist

sociologyist

a

what tah thing to say

must suck

How'd you get it off me without me knowing?

Well, you're a baby, aren't you?

And you sleep like a baby.

I sleep pretty well myself, but I sleep ever so lightly.

When a man's lived with murdering cutthroats as long as I have,

he learns to sleep with one eye open.

Oops.

And a knife in his hand.

Ha ha ha.

Oh.

Well, you don't have a little bit of a eye opener and a bite to eat.

And then perhaps take a look at Booms' Bri.

Oh.

Laundry, this dog's empty.

And you'll be better off without it.

This rum keeps me on an even keel.

I'll thank you to fetch me a fresh jug.

I don't have another.

Oh, no.

I don't look at you.

How gallows aren't you, I sleep in.

Even the poorest and meanest scows have better stores.

Well, I suffer where I work mostly.

It's the way some folks have a perfectly job.

It's biscuits in the bread barge.

Biscuit, I ate my last biscuit when I left the sea.

Thank you.

Come on, we get something proper for a man to eat

and something proper to wash it down with.

Cost money, you know.

Have you got any coins?

Well, not just at the moment, no, but I did have.

I think it must have been about six years ago.

I had half a crown.

But for the life of me, I can't remember what the came of it.

Ha ha.

Come on.

Cincinnati's.

No, Willie.

Hey, you caught me there tonight.

How come I didn't hear you toodle on your flute?

I need to put in some stores.

Well, you come to the right place.

You might add the only place.

This is a friend of mine, Perkins, George Perkins.

I could do.

Howdy.

Well, I expect you'll be needing some lard and flour

and peas and I'll need a good deal of things since now.

I mean, I don't have any coins in the pocket.

Well, you'll get them soon enough.

As far as I'm concerned, your credit's just as good as gold.

Ha ha ha.

Hey, how will it boy?

What did I tell you?

Oh, before you get Willie's stores together,

pour me a mug of your best, will you, mate?

I, uh, don't recall having seen you around in Boonsburg before.

Mr. Perkins?

I haven't been around these parts before.

You, uh, just passing through or plan to settle down, stay a while.

Well, I might stay, and then I might not, you know.

Willie and I have to discuss the situation.

One might say that it's not my decision to make, no.

It's going to be up to Willie.

Ha ha ha.

Willie!

Willie!

Willie!

Hey, that's your benefactor from Charleston, Mr. Boonsburg's boy as well.

Or have you been away?

I've been looking all over for you.

Don't you remember?

You said you'd take me fishing today.

The ain't got no time to do any fishing, so you might as well get on your way.

Who are you?

I then don't stop being lofty with me, my boy.

I thought I told you to clear off.

And look alive, Willie, boy.

I'm parked.

And empty.

I have a mind to doe shoe up, Israel.

You've been mopish and out of spirits for days on end.

You must be coming down to something.

Oh, no ma'am.

I'm not coming down with anything.

That's unnatural for a boy you're aged to be indoors all the time.

You should be outdoors playing.

Anything, Bob, be coming home?

Not when he's out hunting with Mingo, it's hard to tell.

Week, too, maybe.

Israel!

I'm going to have your father return that chair to Mr. Stokie as soon as he gets back.

Why did you go over and see Willie?

Every time I go over there, that Perkin man runs me off.

Maybe you could get him to come over here.

Got plenty of chore that's just waiting.

You tell him that I need him.

Well, I reckon I could try.

Good, B. Jam.

I haven't had good, B. Jam, since I can't remember.

Yeah, Willie Boy.

I'll give you a bit.

Come on, Willie.

You have a taste, baby.

What's the matter?

Oh, I say.

I say don't get angry.

A Molly Sean can't afford to be angry, especially with someone who knows who he is and can

get in touch with the Marines at Charleston.

Why don't you just do it?

Turn me in and I've done with it.

You know, Z-Dog like me knows that a wise man doesn't kill the cow?

He milks it.

Oh, now, now, now, now, Willie.

Come and have a sick, baby boy.

It's Tokie do, and you'll find things.

Answer bad as they see.

Sit down now, Willie, Willie.

That's regardless, there's a business proposition.

Shall we?

You've got something I want, a fair little cabin, enough to stay off my hunger and thirst.

Now, that's not asking much in return for me keeping my mouth shut, is it?

I promise I'll do that provided you stick to your end of the bargain, of course.

My fair little cabins failed.

I'm in debt for your rum and your fancy vilt.

I've a good mind just to run off again.

Have you got a brain in your end?

You'll stay here with me and eat what I've got to say.

Listen, there ain't a port, there ain't a vessel, what's not watching for you, and they'll never stop.

Till the end of your days, there'll be after you.

Besides, you wouldn't like to get your friend Mr. Boone into trouble.

Would you?

Willie, it's me.

Israel.

Are you home?

ASTR Florence.

Uh, most Salty.

Tell me that it's...

Tell you that she hasn't the chores for you.

That is, if you have a mind to work this morning...

There'll be dumplings for separate will.

Won't you come?

Well...

I don't know.

Maybe I can.

Oh, wait for you.

Out here.

No.

You go and out.

Tell your mom I'll be alone.

When I can't.

I'll be alone.

I'll be alone.

I'll be alone.

I'll be alone.

I'll be alone.

I'll be alone.

I'll be alone.

Mrs. Boone wants me to do some work for her.

Yes, so I erk.

And she'll pay for your labor with dumplings.

Ha!

You can't buy much rum with dumplings, baby boy.

You know, it's just as well I turned up when I did these landlubbers.

Beginning to take advantage of you.

If you do a day's work, you ought to get a man's pay for it.

Not just told out a ration of mush and turnips.

There's little money to be had here.

Oh, there's little of anything to be had here.

And it's blooming places like Ireland, the Dauldrums.

That's why I think we ought to be clearing out.

This is my home.

The only one I ever had.

I worked hard on this place.

Then you can work out on another place, can't you?

In a more civilized neighborhood where there's coin to be had?

And something for a man in my sensibilities to do over the evening.

Pa, I didn't see you coming.

That's a good thing I wasn't a mean old hungry bear.

It's me like you were thinking some mighty heavy thoughts.

Do you think wrong I should know about?

It's Willie Pa.

It's this new man named Perkins come to stay with him.

Well, he says he's a friend, but he's not like Willie at all.

Well, his cousin and drinking him.

Well, ever since there's been no fishing in hunting,

every time I go there, he barely talks to me.

What do you reckon is wrong, Pa?

Hold on, son.

You say Willie has a friend?

Just come to live with him?

Why don't you come in, Mr. Boone?

Thank you, Willie.

Just leave the door open if you don't mind.

Boy, say that's Mr. Dan Nield Boone, ain't it?

How did you do?

Mr. Perkins, Mr. George Perkins?

Mr. Perkins?

Mr. Perkins?

It's not often a seafaring man finds his way this far back into the wilderness.

How do you know I'm a seafaring man, eh?

Just how do you know I'm not?

Oh, well, I mean, nobody goes down to the sea with the eye of a beast on their backs, do they?

You know, if I'm going to be a landlab, I'm a stymest,

I must be properly outfitted like I'm a stress like you, Willie and Mr. Boone.

I mean, I'll tell you, sir, you know, Willie's very smart with the needle, Mr. Boone.

Oh, Mr. Boone, come over here and have a little drink, won't you?

Oh, what's wrong with me?

Oh, no, sir.

I must be.

Mr. Drink, that's all.

You'll come around in a bit.

He knows I'm a Molly Schul.

He saw me hiding your wagon that day in Charleston.

And as long as you have him food and drink, you'll keep a bridle on his tongue.

That was the bargain.

That's not much of a bargain, Willie.

It's plain to say he's got you between finger and thumb.

Look at this must, look what he's done to you.

There's no help for it.

Not as long as you keep him in food and drink.

Just suppose you were to disappear for a spell.

More than likely you'd give up and go away.

No, sir.

You tell her you bought me here and all.

I could get you in an awful lot of trouble.

Well, I'm not exactly a stranger to trouble, will you?

You say my life, Mr. Boone.

Take me my little house and my friends.

I'd sooner hang than bring you to grief.

Ha!

All right, son.

Now get your breath and tell.

Those rings, huh? Those British Marines.

After Willie, note the fort.

Well, now who told you they were Marines at the fort?

Nobody told me that son.

Say one to try to get our wagon in Charleston.

He's in the store asking us about Willie.

But what sense of now to say to him?

I didn't wait to find out.

I know sense of now to say no less now than when they ask.

It's likely they'll come looking for me.

Do you think you can get back to our house before they get there?

Sure, Pa.

All right, I want you to go and tell your mom that if they come looking for me,

that she used to delay them as long as she can.

You understand?

All right, now, son, make it.

We'd like to see Mr. Boone.

Oh, won't you come in?

Dan isn't here right now, but he'll be back most any moment.

Well, won't you sit down and make yourselves comfortable?

I've got lots of nice hot tea here.

Ah!

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure you can.

I'm sure you can.

I'm sure you can.

I'm sure you can.

I'm sure you can.

I'm sure you can.

I'm sure you can.

Ah!

On your feet, Sergeant!

Yes, sir!

Mrs. Boone, we'd hoped that Mr. Boone could tell us where to find William Crawford.

I'm sorry, Dan, isn't here.

But if you'd just sit down and wait.

Could you tell us where to find William Crawford?

If you'd just sit down for a spell, maybe you'd like some nice, cool cider.

I know you must be tired.

No, thank you.

Well, if you'd just sit and wait for my husband.

I'm afraid it would be a long wait.

I suspect your husband is with William Crawford.

Are you just going to stand there and wait for him?

I can't run anymore.

They'll never stop hunting for me.

And they'll always be a George Perkins.

You just lost heart, Willie.

You got a good mind to take you someplace to lay give up looking for you.

I'd only turn myself in.

I swear it.

Willie!

Where are you, Willie?

My position willy will be calmed again.

There'll be no more tunes, Mr. Perkins.

Get out of here so I can clear up my house before the Marines come and get me.

The Marines?

There we are. Tell me what you said about the Marines.

You should know.

You're bound to be the one that informed on me.

I never did. I never did.

Well, you'll be collecting your reward.

Your blood money.

The only report I'll get is a reprominec.

They've got two murders at sea against me.

I'll tell you. I can't make it to you.

Willie, just like you did.

I'm going to make a run for it. I'm going to get out of here.

You're a bigger fool and I'm poor.

Staying here like a rat in the trap.

Mr. Boone, he lied me out.

I'm sorry he did you. He lied me to protect you.

You can't even call him anymore.

And easy, Willie.

Is your my far from home lieutenant?

Very far. And I don't like it.

You can always turn around and go back.

I will. And I shall take William Crawford with me.

Now, I know he's here, Mr. Boone, and I shall tell you how I know,

so we won't waste time bandying words.

That day in Charleston, Mr. Boone,

I learned a bit later that your son was seen with a young seaman.

You've come a long way on a suspicion, Lieutenant.

We have also had reports that there is a man,

a seaman living in Boone's borough.

Now, unless I receive some cooperation, Mr. Boone,

I have no choice but to conclude that you are harboring Mr. William Crawford,

a mutinear against the authority of the British Crown.

Do you deny Mr. Boone that there is a young seaman here named William Crawford?

Lieutenant, the folks here in Boone's borough don't regard Willie as a criminal.

Now, he's made a new life here and a host of friends.

And Willie has told me that he did not take part in that mutiny, and I believe him.

Now, I just can't let you haul him off and hang him.

Sergeant McIntosh, go in and search that house.

I don't think you ought to do that.

You may have your orders, but that gives you no right to enter a man's house bearing arms and drag him out.

You're on foreign soil, Lieutenant.

Hold! Don't shoot!

Mr. Lyser.

William Crawford, I arrest you in the name of the king.

No, I've not. I've not.

You've got...

Look at his hands, sir.

This man spent his life at sea all right.

Poor fella.

At least he won't have to run anymore.

Mr. Boone? Mr. Boone?

Don't look now.

He stabbed Willie. He's dead.

What do you mean, he's dead? Fine.

Wanna have another drink?

Good idea. What was the shock, you know?

Who are you?

A friend of the deceased. A drinking companion. You might say, Lieutenant.

Look at him. He's hardly in any condition to stand. I best get him off to bed.

Hold on, Mr. Boone. I need proof.

Some verification that the dead man is William Crawford.

I don't know how I could help you, Lieutenant. Or why I should.

What makes you doubt that's your man?

The ship's records indicate that William Crawford was a much younger man.

How young?

About 16.

Thought that young fella's age.

16, Lieutenant. Two years before the mast.

Tell me, the British Navy impresses 14-year-old boys.

Well, I...

Tab?

Sir, I found this on the body.

You can't take that.

That's his friend's only keepsake.

William Crawford. Amazing.

He's engraved right on the back. And he wore it.

And when you add that to the fact that his hand's giving him away as the same man,

I can testify that his accent is British, so I don't know what else you need, Lieutenant.

I suppose I could settle for that in good conscience.

Well, now that's important. The man's got to live with his conscience, and...

I think you're a very lucky man, looked.

I'd say we've all been struck with a bit of luck, Mr. Boone.

The poor fella will see that he gets a decent burial.

Sergeant Mackintosh?

No.

Prepare to march.

Yeah.

I suppose he'd want you to have it.

Sergeant.

Good luck, Coy. That's what Perkins called it.

It could be, Willie.

Sometimes I like to think you have to give your luck a...

a little push.

Well, why are you standing there staring a hole through me?

I didn't mean to. I'm just a might. Surprised and pleased to say that old temptation

went out against you just as once.

Temptation had nothing to do with it. The matter was taken out of my hands.

Oh.

Those Marines. One of them sat in it before I had a chance to stop him.

Well, now what'd that have to do with it?

Well, it certainly wouldn't be right to return a used chair to Mr. Stoggy, would it?

Be downright dishonest. And since we have it here in the cabin and we can't take it back,

be wasteful not to use it.

But it's even more wasteful to sit here all day when they're supper to be made.

Especially since we have a guest.

A guest?

Willie.

We're having the trout he and Israel caught this afternoon.
