HORNE--[_Contemptuously._] Share, ye dumbhead! I’d see him in hell
first--and send him there myself. [DREW _comes out of the house carrying
his bag which he hands to_ CATES. SUE _follows him_.]
DREW--Look lively now! Let’s hustle aboard and get her under way.
HORNE--Aye--aye, sir. [_He and_ CATES _clamber hurriedly down the
ladder_.]
SUE--[_Throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him._] Good-bye,
Danny. It’s so fine of you to do this for us! I’ll never forget----
DREW--[_Tenderly._] Ssssh! It’s nothing, Sue.
SUE--[_Tearfully._] Oh, Danny, I hope I’m doing right! I’ll miss you so
dreadfully! But you’ll come back just as soon as you can--
DREW--Of course!
SUE--Danny! Danny! I love you so!
DREW--And I guess you know I love you, don’t you? [_Kisses her._] And
we’ll be married when I come back this time _sure_?
SUE--Yes--yes--Danny--sure!
DREW--I’ve got to run. Good-bye, Sue.
SUE--Good-bye, dear. [_They kiss for the last time and he disappears
down the ladder. She stands at the top, sobbing, following him with her
eyes._ NAT _comes around the house from the rear and goes to the front
door_.]
NAT--[_Seeing his sister._] Sue! He hasn’t gone yet, has he? [_She
doesn’t hear him. He hesitates in the doorway for a moment, listening
for the sound of his father’s voice from inside. Then, very careful to
make no noise, he tiptoes carefully into the house._ SUE _waves her hand
to_ DREW _who has evidently now got aboard the ship. Then she covers her
face with her hands, sobbing_. NAT _comes out of the house again and
goes to his sister. As she sees him approaching, she dries her eyes
hastily, trying to smile._]
SUE--Did you get the doctor, Nat?
NAT--Yes, he’s coming right away, he promised. [_Looking at her face._]
What--have you been crying?
SUE--No. [_She walks away from the edge of the cliff, drawing him with
her._]
NAT--Yes, you have. Look at your eyes.
