"CHOLERA?" "!" "HELLO, MR. GRAY." "I'M AFRAID I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU." "TWO OF MY CREW HAVE GONE DOWN WITH CHOLERA." "WE'VE GOT SIX CASES HERE." "WHERE DID YOURS PICK IT UP?" "WELL, I'M NOT QUITE SURE." "COULD BE ANY OF THE ISLANDS WE CALLED AT SO FAR." "YOU BETTER COME BACK TO THE OFFICE." "WE'LL HAVE THE DISPENSER'S REPORT IN A FEW MINUTES." "FROM WHAT YOU TOLD ME," "IT'S PRETTY CERTAIN THAT 11 OF THE ISLANDS ARE INFECTED." "THERE MAY BE MORE." "THOSE THAT AREN'T INFECTED ALREADY ARE IN DANGER." "WHAT WE MUST DO IS TO ISOLATE ALL KNOWN CONTACTS." "SET UP QUARANTINE STATIONS" "AND TAKE ALL THE KNOWN PRECAUTIONS" "TO PREVENT THE DISEASE FROM SPREADING," "PARTICULARLY, WE MUST SEE THAT NOBODY DRINKS WATER" "THAT HAS NOT BEEN BOILED AND CHLORINATED." "IS THAT CLEAR?" "YES." "I SHALL ASK OWEN JONES TO TAKE CHARGE OF ARRANGEMENTS HERE." "YOU, TROMP, AND THE POLICE" "WILL WORK UNDER HIS DIRECT INSTRUCTIONS." "CAPTAIN, I WANT YOU TO TAKE THE GOVERNMENT DISPENSER" "AND VISIT ALL THE ISLANDS TO THE SOUTH." "THEY MAY ESCAPE" "IF THEY TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS IMMEDIATELY." "WHAT ABOUT THE ISLANDS TO THE NORTH?" "THE BEST WE CAN DO IS TO SEND MISS JONES IN THE LAUNCH," "IF SHE'LL GO." "THAT'S A PRETTY WILD PLACE FOR A WOMAN OUT THERE," "IF YOU ASK ME," "ESPECIALLY NOW WITH THIS STARTING." "AND THE VILLAGERS ARE FRIGHTENED," "AND WHEN THEY ARE FRIGHTENED, THEY'RE DANGEROUS." "HAVE YOU A BETTER IDEA?" "NO, BUT I " "THEN I SUGGEST WE ALL GET STARTED." "YOU WANT ME TO GO?" "THAT'S MY PROBLEM." "THE VILLAGERS THERE ARE A SUPERSTITIOUS TRIBE." "THEY GET OUT OF HAND IF THEY'RE AFRAID." "THEY WOULD KILL YOU AS SOON AS LOOK AT YOU." "I'M NOT AFRAID." "WOULD IT NOT BE BETTER FOR ME TO GO," "AND FOR MY SISTER TO STAY HERE?" "I THOUGHT OF THAT, OWEN," "BUT WE NEED YOUR EXPERIENCE HERE AT THE HEART OF THINGS." "AND MAY I MAKE A SUGGESTION?" "OF COURSE." "WHY NOT LET MR. WILSON GO THEN?" "HE KNOWS THE PEOPLE BETTER THAN ANYONE," "AND HE CAN SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE." "NOW, THEY WOULDN'T DARE TO HARM ME WHILE HE WAS THERE." "HONORABLE TED?" "WELL, HE'S JUST GETTING OVER AN ATTACK OF D.T." "I KNOW." "MARTHA, DO YOU REALLY " "THERE'S NOTHING LIKE RESPONSIBILITY" "TO BRING THE BEST OUT IN MEN." "THERE IS NO BEST IN TED WILSON." "I WOULDN'T BE SO SURE." "I THINK THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT BE THE MAKING OF HIM." "IF ONLY WE COULD TRUST HIM." "I PUT MY TRUST IN GOD." "LET'S GO AND ASK HIM." "NOW, LOOK HERE, TED." "WE'VE COME TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS CHOLERA BUSINESS." "YOU'VE HEARD WHAT'S HAPPENING?" "YES." "WE'VE GOT TO FORCE THE VILLAGERS INTO TAKING PRECAUTIONS," "AND WE WANT YOU TO HELP." "OH?" "AND WHY SHOULD I?" "NO REASON AT ALL, EXCEPT COMMON HUMANITY." "SORRY, I'M NOT FEELING VERY HUMAN TODAY." "ALL RIGHT." "IF THAT'S ALL YOU'VE GOT TO SAY." "WOULD YOU MIND IF I HAD A WORD WITH HIM ALONE?" "OH, NO." "TAKE HER AWAY." "I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO HER." "YOU MAY STAY IF YOU WISH." "COME ON, OWEN." "IT WAS MY FAULT THAT THEY WORRIED YOU, MR. WILSON." "I'M SORRY." "WELL, WHY DON'T YOU GO AWAY?" "YOU SEE, THEY WANT ME TO GO TO LABOBO AND SACONCHI," "AND THE PEOPLE THERE ARE SO WILD THAT I WAS AFRAID TO GO ALONE," "SO I SUGGESTED THAT YOU CAME ALONG WITH ME" "TO PROTECT ME." "WELL, WHY SHOULD I CARE IF THEY SLIT YOUR THROAT?" "I SUPPOSE THERE'S NO REASON, REALLY." "WELL, CRY YOUR EYES OUT." "I DON'T CARE." "I'M NOT CRYING." "AND YOU NEEDN'T WORRY ABOUT ME." "I SHALL GO ANYWAY." "SUIT YOURSELF, BUT IT'S DAMN FOOLISHNESS" "FOR ANY WOMAN TO GO TO THOSE ISLANDS." "IT MAY SEEM LIKE THAT TO YOU, BUT I HAVE MY WORK TO DO," "AND I CAN'T HELP MYSELF." "MORE FOOL YOU." "I'M SORRY THAT I SUGGESTED THAT YOU CAME WITH ME." "I CAN SEE NOW THAT IT WAS UNFAIR" "TO ASK YOU TO TAKE SUCH A RISK." "GOODBYE." "DON'T EXPECT ME TO SEND A WREATH TO YOUR FUNERAL," "BECAUSE YOU WON'T GET ONE." "YES?" "HONORABLE MASTER TED TO SEE YOU, SIR." "WELL, I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM." "SEND HIM AWAY." "HE SAID VERY IMPORTANT, YOUR HONOR, SIR, PLEASE." "HE VERY POLITE, YOUR HONOR." "HOW MUCH DID HE GIVE YOU?" "NOTHING, SIR." "HOW MUCH?" "$1." "GIVE IT TO ME." "SEND HIM IN." "WELL, WHAT IS IT NOW?" "I WANT TO KNOW WHEN THE BOAT'S LEAVING FOR AUSTRALIA." "NOT UNTIL THE ISLANDS ARE FREE OF CHOLERA" "AND SHE'S BEEN DISINFECTED." "YOU MEAN I'VE GOT TO STAY HERE UNTIL THEN?" "YES." "IN THAT CASE, I MIGHT AS WELL GO TO THE ISLANDS" "WITH OWEN'S SISTER, MIGHTN'T I?" "PLEASE YOURSELF." "IT'S NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH ME." "WELL, THERE'S NOT MUCH POINT IN HANGING AROUND HERE" "WITH NOTHING TO DO, IS THERE?" "WELL, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T SAY AFTERWARDS" "THAT I PERSUADED YOU AGAINST YOUR WILL." "THEN I CAN GO?" "IF YOU WANT TO." "OF COURSE I DON'T WANT TO," "BUT I RECKONED IT WAS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS." "OH, DO YOU THINK I COULD HAVE A FEW DOLLARS?" "YOU KNOW, JUST FOR EXPENSES?" "NO, YOU CAN'T." "BUT THERE'S NO HARM IN ASKING, IS THERE?" "WELL, I DON'T THINK WE'VE FORGOTTEN ANYTHING." "I'M SURE YOU HAVEN'T." "THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE A PICNIC, YOU KNOW." "I'VE SEEN CHOLERA BEFORE." "SO HAVE I." "THERE'S NOTHING MUCH YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT." "THERE'S PLENTY TO BE DONE, I CAN TELL YOU." "SUCH AS?" "WE HAVE TO NURSE THE SICK" "AND DISINFECT THE WATER SUPPLY." "ANYONE WHO DRINKS WATER DESERVES ALL THEY GET." "WHAT ARE THEY DOING?" "THEY'RE DRIVING THEIR DISEASED BRETHREN INTO THE JUNGLE" "AND LEAVING THEM THERE TO DIE." "BUT SURELY THERE'S NO NEED TO TREAT THEM LIKE THAT." "TO THEM, IT'S A SORT OF INSURANCE POLICY." "IF THEY'RE MAIMED BADLY ENOUGH," "THEY CAN'T RETURN TO THE VILLAGE." "IT'S BRUTAL." "YES..." "BUT AS A FORM OF QUARANTINE, IT'S MOST EFFECTIVE." "WHAT IS HE SAYING?" "HE SAYS THAT THE CHOLERA IS THE WHITE MAN'S DISEASE," "AND THAT THE GODS ARE PUNISHING THEM" "BECAUSE THEY LISTENED TO YOU" "AND THAT WE BETTER BUZZ OFF" "UNLESS WANT A KNIFE BETWEEN OUR RIBS." "TELL HIM I DEMAND TO SEE THE HEADMAN." "OH, WHAT'S THE USE?" "IT'S NO GOOD TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE" "THAT DON'T WANT TO BE HELPED." "COME, LET'S GO SOMEWHERE ELSE." "AND LEAVE THESE PEOPLE TO DIE?" "CERTAINLY NOT." "WE HAVE COME TO BRING YOU MEDICINE TO STOP THE ATAZARU." "WE NO NEED YOUR HELP." "BUT YOU DO." "THE PEOPLE ARE DYING ALL OVER THE ISLANDS," "AND THEY'LL GO ON DYING IF YOU DON'T LET US HELP YOU." "WHITE MEDICINE BAD MEDICINE!" "WAS IT BAD MEDICINE" "THAT DROVE THE DEVIL OUT OF YOUR BELLY?" "NO, GOOD MEDICINE." "THIS IS GOOD MEDICINE, TOO." "YOU STAY." "COME, NOW." "YOU MUSTN'T FEEL LIKE THAT." "YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU COULD." "HE WAS SO YOUNG." "SUCH A LOVELY BOY." "WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE?" "I'M AFRAID THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NONE OF US KNOWS." "I DON'T FEEL AS THOUGH I'M DOING ANY GOOD AT ALL." "OH, NOW, NOW, NOW." "YOU'RE JUST BEING SILLY." "WHY, IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR YOU," "THERE WOULDN'T BE A NATIVE ALIVE BETWEEN HERE AND BARRU." "THAT'S AN EASY THING TO SAY." "NO, NO, NO, IT'S TRUE." "WE'VE JUST GOT THIS THING BEATEN." "YOU CAN'T GIVE UP NOW." "I'M TIRED." "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT YOU." "NOW, THAT'S BETTER." "I'M SORRY." "I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT." "NOBODY EVER KISSED ME BEFORE." "I USED TO WONDER WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE" "TO BE KISSED BY A MAN." "I DIDN'T THINK I'D LIKE IT AT ALL," "BUT THIS WAS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I EXPECTED." "I WON'T DO IT AGAIN." "I PROMISE." "COME, PLEASE." "MY FATHER WISH SEE YOU." "GOOD EVENING." "YOU WISH TO SEE ME?" "WHITE MEDICINE BAD MEDICINE." "MY PEOPLE DIE." "SOME OF THEM DIE, YES." "THAT HAD TO BE." "BUT IF YOU DO AS I SAY," "VERY SOON THERE WILL BE NO MORE ATAZARU." "MY DAUGHTER SICK." "SINCE WHEN?" "SINCE THREE DAYS." "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE?" "WHERE IS SHE?" "YOU WANT I SHOULD LET YOU GIVE WHITE MEDICINE?" "OF COURSE." "JUST A MINUTE." "IF SHE'S BEEN SICK FOR THREE DAYS ALREADY," "IT'S TOO LATE." "WE MUST DO ALL WE CAN TO HELP HER." "MY DAUGHTER LIVE, YOU STAY." "SHE DIE..." "BRING HER TO ME." "YOU'RE CRAZY IF YOU GO ON WITH THIS." "SHE'S A GONER FOR CERTAIN." "BRING HER TO MY HUT." "IT'S ALL RIGHT." "IT'S ALL RIGHT." "IT'S ALL RIGHT." "TED." "YES?" "THEY'RE GOING TO KILL US, AREN'T THEY?" "YES, I SUPPOSE SO." "HOW WILL THEY DO IT?" "DOES IT REALLY MATTER?" "I'D RATHER KNOW." "THEN I THINK IT WOULD BE EASIER TO BEAR." "IT'S NOT GOING TO BE VERY PLEASANT." "I KNOW." "TELL ME." "WELL, THEY'RE A KINDLY PEOPLE." "THEIR RELIGION DOESN'T PERMIT THEM TO TAKE LIFE THEMSELVES," "SO THEN THEY GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO IT FOR THEM." "WHO?" "THE SACRED ELEPHANT." "OH, IT'S REALLY QUITE SIMPLE." "THEY JUST GET HIM TO KNEEL DOWN," "AND YOU HAPPEN TO BE UNDERNEATH." "YOU'RE PRAYING, AREN'T YOU?" "YES." "SAY ONE FOR ME, TOO, WILL YOU?" "I AM." "AAAAAHH!" "MARKARA?" "THE REPORT FROM TATITI, SIR." "NO NEW CASES, SIR." "NONE AT ALL, SIR." "GOOD." "PUT IT WITH THE OTHERS." "THIS MEANS THAT THE EPIDEMIC IS OVER, SIR." "ALLOW ME TO CONGRATULATE YOUR HONOR." "CONGRATULATE ME?" "WHAT, ON 1,200 DEATHS?" "ON THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT 6,000, SIR." "THIS IS YOUR FIRST EPIDEMIC, BUT I HAVE SEEN OTHERS." "WHEN I AM 16, MY MOTHER, MY FATHER," "MY 11 BROTHERS, MY 6 SISTERS ALL GONE THREE DAYS." "THAT TIME, WE LOST OVER 2,000." "THIS TIME, ONLY 1,200." "NEXT TIME, PERHAPS EVEN LESS THAN THAT." "THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A NEXT TIME " "NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT." "YOUR HONOR IS TIRED, SIR?" "YES, I AM TIRED." "DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO NOW" "IF I WEREN'T THE RESIDENT HERE?" "NO, SIR." "PLEASE?" "GO OUT AND GET DRUNK." "GOOD MORNING, OWEN." "GOOD MORNING, MR. GRAY." "WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?" "WELL, I'VE COME TO SEE TED." "HE'S STAYING HERE I BELIEVE, IS THAT RIGHT?" "YES." "WILL YOU COME THIS WAY?"
