"I'm not surprised everyone calls you Villervalle, for there's always a huge amount of confusion up there." "Don't try and get smart, kid." "Vilhelm and Valdemar are my first names, so that's why they call me Villervalle." "It's no more surprising than that they call you Nisse Nasse." "Villervalle, where does that "r" in the middle come from, then?" " It's for the sake of harmony, dummy." " Ah, don't talk crap." "Friday, run home as fast as you can." "Bring as many guns and pistols as you can." "Gunpowder, we must have." "We must try to rescue the prisoners from the bandits." "And currently, they need a nutrition specialist in the South Pacific, more specifically on a group of islands near Tahiti." "Somewhere near Robinson Crusoe's island." "Are you going to apply for it, Dad?" "Well, apply..." "I've already got it." "I haven't said that you can come." "The boat goes from here, Southampton in a few weeks, so we won't have much time to prepare." "But then we get to rest properly." "We sail across the Atlantic, to Panama, across the Pacific Ocean to Tahiti." "And the journey takes about a month." " Here they are!" " Well done, Mom!" " In the book you just sat and read." " Yes, that's what I did." "Like you said, the most important thing is to... organize everything in an efficient and rational manner." "Swedish Radio presents" "Villervalle in the South Pacific" "Atomic Spies" "Here he comes!" " Thank you." " Thanks." "This is the life." "Think of the other poor guys crouching over their homework books now." "I've also thought about them." "If you don't start reading soon, you'll be repeating a year." "But Dad, there's so many knots and nautical terms that Grandma wants us to learn." "That's right!" "On board a ship you have to know what everything is called." "Yes, but as soon as we're through the Panama Canal you can start cracking down on your reading." "And you, Mother, make sure that they do their homework." "Don't worry, Ernst, Grandma even succeeded in teaching you how to read." "Quick march to the bridge." "Now, I think you should go and take a little dip." "Yes, I will." "Good morning Madam, can I help you?" "Do you mind Captain, if I show the children around the ship?" "Of course you can." "If only you keep yourself and your family within the area allowed for the passengers." "Thank you, Captain." "We're now on the command bridge, as you know very well, but the topmost bridge over our heads, what is it called it?" "The Top Bridge, of course." "Just below is the lifeboat deck where the lifeboats are hanging in their davits." "Captain, may I steer the ship?" "Of course, you could hold the wheel for a while." "Come on, boy." "Let him have a go." "Valdemar, come on over here." "Have a look and see who's there." "Grandma!" "Ah look, it's a Swedish sandwich." "Captain?" "Ladders, which are not called ladders but companionways." "But what's that strange device?" "It's radar, of course." "Now you know what it is." "What in the world?" "The big dish up there is the wrong way round." "But Villervalle, you don't know any more than us about radar." "But it's not me." "It was in Mechanics magazine, that the dish angle..." " Officer?" " Yes." "I think the big radar up there is facing back to front." "Really." "I'll have to go and see what's wrong." "Oh, how nice to be really, really lazy without having a bad conscience." "Yes, sit down and rest a while too." "At your age, then..." "Oh, don't start talking about my age again." " Where's Villervalle?" " Villervalle?" "Villervalle, he may well never have..." " Take him down." " Aye, aye, sir." "Stop, stop, stop!" "I will do it myself." "Alright, Ma'am" "Don't look down, look up at the mast!" "What was it you said about her age?" "Now let this be a lesson." "Think before you act next time." "Thanks a lot, Mother." "Just a little training for climbing palm trees in the future." " Ouch!" " Ha, ha, that serves you right." "I've a feeling that there's something fishy about them." ""Fishy", just because we're at sea, and they look a bit strange." "Alright, let's bet I reveal the Sjussov's are up to no good before we arrive." "What are you doing?" "Oh, how childish you are." "But I've a feeling they're shady characters." "It sends shivers down my spine when they come near." "I get the same feeling when you're nearby." "I'm sure they belong to some international criminal gang or something." " I could of course expose them myself, but..." " Ha!" "You?" "If I give you some of my pocket money, could you at least dance with the guy?" "Okay." "Hey!" "you know how to flirt, don't you?" "This is how you do it." "Oh, how silly you are." "Bye, then." "Hey, don't forget to flirt." "Idiot." " Did you learn anything?" " Yes, that he's dumb and can't dance." "Even if I get all your pocket money, I won't dance one more dance with him," "So there!" "You can play detective by yourself." "That's just what I intend to do." "But you'll thank me one day for everything I've done for you." "Let's study the map, so you can track the points of the compass, as we go through the canal." "There's no art to keeping track anyway." "We go through from the east and continue due west until we reach the Pacific Ocean." "Yes, that's what most people think." "But come here, and you'll see." "Let's see." "The Panama Canal makes a sharp turn right here, where the channel is dug." "Therefore, you enter the canal from the north, and when we come out on the Pacific side, we do it to the east of Cristobal Colon, that's the city where we leave the canal." " How weird!" " Yes, of course it is." "Dad!" "Can you buy tame monkeys in Stomatol or whatever the city is called?" "Why do we need a tame monkey, when we have you?" " Hey, you!" " Don't fight now." "Cristobal Colon is the Spanish name of Christopher Columbus." " It was he who discovered America." " Fantastic." " Hey, you." " Trouble makers!" "Hey!" "I think the captain's gone astray." "Where are we anyway?" "It's the first lock." "If you look up, you can see the locomotive that pulls us through the lock." "Hey!" "Can you tell me if the canal has come from the Pacific or the Atlantic?" "From both oceans, of course." "The entire channel is full of fresh water, which has been dammed up." " How long is the canal then?" " 77 km." "You're hopeless." "The quay is high up on land!" "The boats are on dry land." "Whoever constructed this port must have been really drunk." "You are silly, it's low tide." "And so all the Central American ports on the Pacific Coast are drained." "The difference between high and low tide is never less than 5 meters." "Why are there tides?" "That, you of course learned in school, right?" "The geography teacher must have talked about tides, when I played hookie last spring." "You're crazy." "Watch out!" "What are you up to?" "Hey!" "Do you want to join in and play canasta?" "Canasta?" "Who do you think has time for that?" "Come on now!" "I'd really like to know what it is you're doing." "Ow!" "There it is." "Do you think I'm scared?" "It wasn't what I thought!" "A dismantled aircraft." "Look there!" "A secret radio transmitter." "But look!" "This also says Sjussov." "Don't touch it!" "It's sure to be a time bomb." "This box?" "It's a motor." "It's not a crime to take a motor, an aircraft and a radio transmitter, is it?" "Criminal?" "They're no ordinary criminals, you understand?" "They're atomic spies." " Atomic Spies!" "Haven't you heard of the atom bomb experiments, the Americans are about to do in the Pacific?" "Shussov, of course, intends to reveal all their secrets, even if they don't try to steal the bomb." "What if they blow up this ship." "Oh, how silly you are." "I have a feeling that they're going to do something fishy." "But if you're so sure, then it's probably best that we talk to the captain immediately." " No, don't." " Why shouldn't we?" "Because we need to catch them in the act." "But I think you should examine the boxes a little closer first." "Now I'm going to play canasta." "Bye!" "Girls!" "I give up." " What a guy!" " What a guy." " What's your name?" " Kaoko." "My Papa is the chief on our little island" "Not far from Tahiti." "A real chief?" "Where, how are you be hiding?" "Me?" "I live together with my sister, father, mother and Gran in a cabin." "Do you know, there are atom spies on board!" "Atom spies?" "The thing is only to catch them in the right minute." "Hide!" "Yes, we catch them like fish." "The rope!" "Let us out, you crazy boys!" "You atom spies!" "Kaoko, I'm going to get the Captain." " Yeah." "Captain..." "Captain!" "We have captured the atom spies!" " Which atom spies?" " The Shussov's of course." "Yes, Mister." "We have tied them up with thick ropes, so they cannot escape." " What nonsense is this?" "Mr Shussov got my permission to put some very fragile cases in the baggage room." "But he has a secret radio transmitter in one of the cases, and a timebomb!" "The whole ship may be blown up." "Now, you take it easy, young man." "All he has got in his cases, are a wind machine and an ordinary wireless set." "And don't you read so many detective stories." "Stop there!" "Now, come here!" "Come up here." ""We", you said." "Who are, "we"." " Kaoko and me." " Cocoa?" "Now, be fair Captain." "Kaoko has helped me to capture the spy." "Excuse me, the gentleman Shussov, I mean." "And he is on his way home to his island." "In other words, he's a stowaway." "And besides that, he attacked innocent passengers." "Good Lord, the prisoners!" "Now, you listen to me, Valdemar." "Go down in your cabin and stay there, and don't mention a word about what's been happening here." "And in the meantime, I'll go and release your prisoners." "Are you looking at the Tuamotu Islands?" "Dangerous islands, beautiful islands." "Their natives are cannibals and the lagoon is full of man eating sharks." "Just a paradise for a boy of your adventurous sort." "Don't you feel like jumping into the water and swimming ashore?" "Oh well, I'm going to Tahiti." "Boy!" "You look gloomy." "I've just been informed that we're arriving in Tahiti tomorrow morning." "Tahiti, already?" "Kaoko!" "Kaoko!" "I have good news for you." "We arrive Tahiti, already tomorrow." "Good news for you, maybe." "But they send me back again."
