need a rest then you will wait before making Professor Grimson experiment well I'm afraid we've gone too far for that you mean that you let my ship go to sea without me it will only be for one Voyage why you can't do that well for 20 years we've been together I've nursed her through storms lived with her or all that you ever did was to build her but she's not your ship She's mine and now you think that she can run without me without anyone Captain hulling you're not going through with it gentleman please you you you will never live to do it you won live Miss King please I'll all right come on [Music] you your D that be all right give me a glass of water Miss Kane perhaps you gentlemen better leave me alone with him I'll arrange to send him to a sanitarium Mr Watson I'm sorry we waited this long thank you I'd get anything in the world if this hadn't happened it's up to you now Captain Downey thank you sir I appreciate the honor but it isn't easy to accept it under these circumstances in his right mind he'd want you to carry on you and Rogers you'll take down his face as Chief mate well thank you sir I have every confidence in both of you you understand gentlemen that what you are about to see must remain a secret yes [Music] [Music] Captain Downey you sail tomorrow as usual at 9:00 when the cck is at Sea it will be offered by Professor Grimson from his laboratory my work is finished Watson it is now up to s505 what is s505 the uh Tu controls the energy which will operate it by radio it's uncanny Professor it's silent Watson don't forget to install this telescope in the cabin so that you can keep a constant contact with the laboratory that's all arranged for a [Music] [Music] can't you get the wavelength I'm trying to you Excellency there I think I've got them right they're testing s505 is that what you get than your Excellency [Music] [Music] well Professor if s505 will do everything that you say it will it will control the Seas radio control battleships and submarines would have won the world war in the first year its future possibilities are inconceivable if it succeeds [Music] [Music] will you give me the combination now Mr Watson when s505 is returned to that room before you sail tomorrow it won't be necessary for a human being to set his foot in that room again not even you captain how is he he's better Dr Howard has made arrangements for him to go to the [Music] sanitarium it's an honor to be of the slightest assistant to you Professor thank you sir well see you tomorrow dony yes [Music] Jims what do you want up here C ging sir is he any better no SS he's been relieved you can go back to your cabin job I'm Master of the ship now yes sir too bad sir what are you trying to do trying to make a bowl in a bite [Music] here make yourself a neckti [Music] a bow and a bite no one but a sailor would think of this way to strangle a man has he no idea who attacked him no he he was leaving in the next room when he heard someone in here he put on his robe but before he had the time to turn on the lights the the Rope was around his neck that's all he remember there's nothing I can do for Professor Grimson his neck is broken he may live for hours or die while major Pope is questioning him this uh major Pope just who is he oh he's a private investig at that Professor Grimson has known for some time you see the professor didn't want to call in the police did you anticipate this attack for a long time I felt that I had been followed you're convinced that your as salant was after the tube that you call s505 did he get it it wasn't here I gave it to Watson for safekeeping you should have taken equal precautions for your own safety professor my life amounts to little it's my work that must live I understand Professor what how long ago well let me know the moment you hear anything Captain holling escaped from the sanitarium last night that accounts for the attack a most convenient conclusion Commander but I'm inclined to agree with Professor Grimson that whoever attacked him was after the tub s505 but it hasn't been proven a success that's why I feel certain that the man who went this far will go farther once the success of s505 is assured there's no doubt in my mind that he' be aboard the Guth when it sails but at Professor Grimson request I shall also be aboard if you think I can find accommodations I'll take care of it major thank you what of Captain huling they found no trace of him Excellency have you instructed your agent on board the grig yes Excellency he will not fail to make doubly sure I might myself have placed another man on the grig don't shut me would think I'd ever been on boip before in all my life not decrepit yet [Music] [Music] oh I lost my magazine here granny you hold them I'll be right back I can get along without you got along all right without you before you were born H there there's something I want to ask you please yes but this is most important that's all right it's mistake boys never mind uh what I want to ask you is that say I want to sit at the Captain's Table on the captain's right now we'll uh try and take care of that for you I have to look over my list thank you so much who is that very distinguished looking gentleman there uh well that is our head waiter oh well we'll skip that here it is Granny I found it oh I find kind of a rescuer this is going to be for me the only rest I'll ever get from you is when I'm in mrave please granny you're exciting yourself I'm not excited you know what the doctor said never say doctor to me again what am I here for to get away from him what are you waiting for waiting for you ma'am but why did you say so before I've been standing here long enough goodness gracious me at least somebody might pay me a little uh did the Chip's doctor get my message uh yes he did Mr Morton and Mrs flinton will have every attention I'm sure thank you very much at the is sure whistle Mr Watson of the appearance of that door I don't think you need worry about anyone disturbing that room nevertheless we're relying on all of you there's any change in Professor crimson's condition you'll hear from me otherwise you'll be ready for contact at 9 sorry you're not coming with us sir a voyage like this is something to live for I only hope Professor Grimson lives for it good luck thank you I think a problem how do you do is that your St 47 then we are neighbors and of course we couldn't really be neighbors unless we could bother something might I ask you for the loan of a [ __ ] screw [ __ ] screw accidentally I have one with me oh thank you so much and and uh if it's good stuff we'll have the uh pleasure later that is of course if you'll join me I shall be honored Mrs at climton the Rochester clons though I suppose you've never been to Rochester Rochester but I regret I missed the charm of it until now oh that's enough I'm too old for flattering even though I must say you do it remarkably well Mr um kley of course I might have alone you came from the continent Continental men are my weakness you're traveling alone Mrs spint oh yes uh that is unless you count Edgar it's the same thing as being alone grandson blue blooded on his father side blue blood but cut the Mortons were all that way well thank you again so much welcome I'll be seeing you I hope so yes stop put that back I put him in the wrong SRO man but I'm sorry you ate the Countess you're sorry h n Rogers report to my cabin drop P yes Co down the Great Adventure Captain it's wonderful to be alive isn't it and see the world progress in front of you I hope Professor Grimson lives it's too bad down there but there's never any progress Without Tragedy someone is going to have to pay for it someone who you the secret of s505 come in [Music] we' dropped the pilot sir take the bridge Mr Rogers till we're a beam Cape John light yes sir Dr Howard Miss Kane I'll speak to you said where are they doctor what is it doctor that's all right major pulp here is Mr Watson's representative this trip oh I see I have just completed an analysis of Captain hing's Blood and what have you found doctor traces of an uncommon drug that's hardly known outside the West Indies it has the peculiar properties of temporarily paralyzing the nerve centers of the brain what in your opinion was the means of getting this poison into his system food drink perhaps even the tobacco that he smoked might have been drugged why Captain holling didn't have an enemy in the world the world is very large Captain Downey but this lineer unfortunately is a little world all its own do you mean that anyone on board this ship who else would have been close enough to him to systematically administer a poison without exciting his suspicions but no one was any closer to him than we people in this room yes quite so are you implying that one of us it was your own suggestion Mr Rogers I presumed that Miss Miss Kane Miss Kane here had charge of captain holling during his illness yes he did did he at any time drop a hint as to any bad feeling existing between himself and anyone on board not that I know of you're quite sure miss game of course did you suppose I'd tell you unless you were shielding someone don't you think that's going just a little too far maor Pope do you object to my questioning Miss G she told you she doesn't know anything about it isn't that enough well if she has nothing to conceal why should you be so concerned do you mean by that she's shielding me that's absurd why don't you who had anything to gain by by removing Captain hulling well I realize of course the captain Dy owes his promotion to what happened are you trying to say of course he isn't say what you mean made your pokes said it take it up with him yes yes she's here I'll tell her pass your name of Morton asking for you oh yes yes thank you I told him I'd be here it's the printing case doctor if you have no more question to ask me may I go to my patient certainly drug you say now doctor yeah take the bridge Mr Rogers I'll talk to you later yes [Music] sir isn't there enough trouble between you and dowy without making it worse what's the matter FR I'll hurt his feelings Cliff you're absolutely impossible I see doctor thank you I'll be in the hospital if you want me thank you what's the trouble between you and Rogers the girl leave her out of it oh I see she know I thought for a moment he use something that might incriminate you you were quick enough to take the words out of his mouth you know Captain this Kane is a very very Charming young lady hello hello hello oh is the bar so busy it can't answer the telephone now what is it it's me granny it would be not now later come in this is Miss Kane granny how are you doing I was doing all right till you came in granny I asked Miss Kane to see you it's her ner NES that's why the doctor recommended this trip oh I'm sure it's going to do you a world of good yes it'll do me more good if I never heard that again there's nothing the matter with me but Edgar and he's nothing much granny don't keep reminding me of that it isn't my fault that your mother had to get married now be off go on I'm not you Edgar if you want me for anything what would any woman want you for well if you're going to insult it's no use I give enough trying you think old age had burdens enough without carrying that I'm sure he means well Mrs Clinton what do you know about it trying to wish a nurse on me never felt better in my life well then I'm sure you won't need Dr Howard I don't even want to look at him oh but he's not at all bad to look at rather handsome in fact but I'll tell him he needn't drop in you needn't tell him anything of the kind if he chances to drop in well it'll be perfectly all right are you sure there's nothing more I can do for you no unless you can get me something to go with that I afraid not Mrs Quon bye goodbye oh Miss K would you feel safer to talk now that we're alone there is nothing more I can tell you you mean at this time if you want to put it that way major Pope yes thank you so much but oh dear me you're you're major Pope you're not the gentleman I borrowed this from are you if you were I could return it to you at once but now of course I can't it is so silly of me to mistake you for it someone else when yours is a face one couldn't possibly forget I I must apologize oh there you are H this is the gentleman who loan me the cork screw Mr Von kesling do you know uh major pop how do you do major pleasure Mr vling thank you so much I had nothing to go with it after all oh isn't it ni we don't have to wait for the 12 M limited go up from the bar you want to try the bardi oh perhaps uh perhaps you join me there later better later

nothing's ever been as important as you let's make this our last trip you mean you leave the seed but we live on I'll have plenty you will a a junle something like that [Applause] don't go oh I [Music] must come in well I've just checked the engine room and wheelhouse everything's T to go the minute we receive word and when we get it I'll tell you so you won't need to come snooping around I

you something I've been saving up for a long time well if that's all you're waiting for now is as good a time as any be live N I just saw him sir he was looking at me the plainest day sir death

hello it maor Pope leave worri where to find him we get him ask him to get up here as fast as he can Hey Joe open this door Sim claims he saw captain harling in here Captain holling take a look in there yes sir there's nothing like a scotch and soda on a night like this who do you suppose that attractive woman can be well that's the CEST CEST fessi looks like Grand Rapids to me you mustn't judge your fellow Travelers by appearances Mrs Plimpton you never know who your neighbor really is do you Mr van Kling it's one of the charms of cvy isn't it major it is quite ping major Pope ping major oh [Music] boy pardon me I'm so sorry will you excuse me oh must you yes I'm afraid so well I suppose it can't be helped no it can't I'll join you [Music] later Charming Man the major isn't he I should like to know more about him so would I will you excuse me you too oh dear well I might have guessed it with all these young girls about go ahead and enjoy them silly little things listen that Mrs blimp I have a slight headache I have some aspirine in my stat oh why didn't you mention it before I have just the thing you need no I wouldn't trouble you for anything no no no no no trouble at all you're coming with me oh come along this way no one in there sir but I tell you I saw him sir what have you been drinking Sim not a drop sir so help me but if it weren't him was his ghost it was do you believe in ghosts well when you see him with your own eyes what are you going to believe sir hello get me the captain he says put him up oh what's happened where's granny oh she's not here Sim saw you saw a um a store away hello Captain there's no one here well Sims was mistaken but how could he be Sims knows holling when he sees him make a thorough search yes sir where was this right below in 406 Captain holling is on this boat pull yourself together Captain as I have you'll know something about medicine now this is something that was recommended to me by one of the finest specialist in New York City oh a Pity we weren't invited to the convention what is this oh uh there's nothing to be alarmed about Mrs climton an Army in my room maybe that wouldn't alarm you what are you men doing in there looking for a man granny a man oh but there's no one there Sims only thought he thought thought huh getting me all excited again over nothing at all well you two men keep a sharp look out yes singular place to be looking for a staway officer huh the steward was mistaken [Music] [Music] [Music] does that gun give you a feeling of assurance Captain I don't see what you have to be afraid of hing's out of his mind isn't he a maniac he might do anything to the man who made him that way to anyone no one's safe with him around how do you know he's on board at all who else has seen him how do you know that Sim saw him why would he lie about it well there'll be time enough to inquire into that or to worry about holling after 9:00 do you think I'd let that experiment go ahead with that Maniac loose on this ship I was in that next room when he warned Watson not to go ahead with it I saw him start to attack Grimson do you think he'd stop now anything might happen you can't get into that control room to stop it at 9:00 this liner goes under radio control until s505 has proven a success or failure whether you like it or not is for [Applause] Hing is what ask him to repeat the message it was around his neck when I found him just now I land right hello tell Dr H to come here at once no response here it comes that's funny you never did like him did you Rogers come in I been forward sir and found nothing down it what do you know about this nothing sir nothing and and this Captain ning that's exactly what I thought you'd say but I don't understand sir I you said you'd seen holling on board so you have an alibi why did you kill Downy I didn't what would I want to kill him for you held a grudge against him for reducing you to a cabn to it what's that got to do with killing a man I never had no fight with him I didn't like you had oh I heard you down here having an help with him and Miss Kane right here in this room and he was going to strike me once come in Mr vaning you can hear much better than here an unpleasant night to be on day what are you doing out there I came here to speak to Captain [Music] Downey your explanation at a mere starway caused all the disturbance in Mrs Bon's stat room didn't quite satisfy my uh curiosity unfortunate that your curiosity should have waited so long had it brought you here a few minutes before Mr Rogers discovered the body it might have been helpful to us in indicating who murdered Captain bney well doctor is NE was broken yes with that horrible Rogers found him give me a hand Sams but who no is k Mr van kesling doesn't know any more about it than you do it's merely his curiosity that gives us the honor of his presence then who you don't believe it was Captain harling have you any reason to think it might have been I don't know this is what I was looking for when you found me along with Mr Downey Voodoo medicines of the West Indies why that book belongs in my library the last time I saw it Mr Downey was reading it it disappeared from the library after that I thought you didn't tell us all you knew if you thought the Downey had poison huling why didn't you tell us I couldn't until I was sure the book was there would you be so quick to tell us now Captain Don was still alive and said that the book had been planted I you implying that I put that book there you've said enough Pope granting that Dy did Poison huling even you must perceive that he didn't obligingly kill himself to make room for Captain Rogers you're forgetting that he died the same way Professor Grimson was struck down by the same hand not necessarily by the same hand but by someone who knew how Professor gson was struck down and if Captain Hing is on board and if he's not there Still Remains someone on board so rightly interested in the outcome of this experiment that he doesn't stop at [Music] [Applause] murder hello Captain 3 minutes just a moment Mr boning nobody Lees this room I beg your pardon I'm making no exceptions you're as much Under Suspicion as anyone here still I I have certain rights look here Bine something is about to happen here that's bigger than your rights or mine you're welcome to remain
