WEBVTT Kind: captions; Language: en 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.001 The news magazine of the screen produced by Warner-Pathay News. Living glimpses 00:00:09.001 --> 00:00:14.001 of history in the making, presented as a public service, and as a special service 00:00:14.001 --> 00:00:19.001 to Wisconsin schools by Wisconsin's largest bank, the first Wisconsin National 00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:29.001 Bank of Milwaukee, established in 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:46.000 [...] 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.000 At Eisenhower for President headquarters in Washington, DC, the movement gains 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.000 impetus as Senator Lodge of Massachusetts announces that 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.000 Ike's in the New Hampshire primaries. 00:00:55.001 --> 00:00:57.000 He tells of past political discussions. 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.000 During these discussions, he said specifically that his voting 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.001 record was that of a Republican. 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.000 He also pointed out that his political convictions coincided with enlightened 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.000 Republican doctrine and that the family tradition was Republican. 00:01:12.001 --> 00:01:15.001 It is worth noting that in our conversations with General Eisenhower, he pointed 00:01:15.001 --> 00:01:19.001 out that he would never seek public office, but would consider recalled a 00:01:19.001 --> 00:01:22.000 political service by the will of the party and the 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.000 people to be the highest form of duty. 00:01:24.001 --> 00:01:29.000 I therefore authorize you, Governor Adams, to enter the name of Dwight Eisenhower 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000 in the primary election for the expression of the preference of the Republicans 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000 of the state of New Hampshire for President of the United States. 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.000 At the General's headquarters outside Paris, he confirms Lodge's statement and 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.000 says he'll accept a clear-cut call. 00:01:43.001 --> 00:01:47.000 But right now, his first concern is his present job, building Europe's defenses. 00:01:47.001 --> 00:01:49.001 It is on this task that he now reports. 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.001 In this common effort, many advances have been made during the past year. 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.000 Morale is definitely sturdier among civilians and armed servants. 00:02:01.001 --> 00:02:07.001 In numbers, efficiency, and in spirit, the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of our 00:02:07.001 --> 00:02:09.001 Allied force have been strengthened. 00:02:10.001 --> 00:02:14.001 With the news of Eisenhower's willingness to run, the Washington office from 00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:17.001 which the drive is directed grows busier as Eisenhower 00:02:17.001 --> 00:02:19.000 leaflets and buttons go out. 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.000 Though he may not campaign for nomination, Eisenhower is definitely in 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.001 the presidential race. 00:02:35.001 --> 00:02:39.001 Northern California digs out after the worst series of brissards in 50 years. 00:02:40.001 --> 00:02:43.000 Roaring in from the Pacific, the storms have blanketed the 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.001 countryside and halted all movement. 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.000 Sometimes you have to dig for 10 feet to reach the roof of a car. 00:02:49.001 --> 00:02:53.001 With buildings nearly buried, the mailman's work becomes strenuous. 00:02:53.001 --> 00:02:57.000 Along one highway, a snow depth of almost 20 feet is measured. 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.001 Below, almost hidden in the snow, lies the crack express train city of San 00:03:04.001 --> 00:03:09.001 Francisco, which stalled at Donner Pass some 7,000 feet up in the high Sierras 00:03:09.001 --> 00:03:12.000 while en route from Chicago to San Francisco. 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:18.001 In Colfax, 34 miles away, nurses and other rescue workers board a relief train to 00:03:18.001 --> 00:03:22.000 go to the aid of the 222 passengers and crew members 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.001 marooned on the snowbound streamliner. 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.001 These scenes give an idea of the depth of the snow. 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.001 The relief train finds the going tougher as it chucks higher in spite of a rotary 00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:34.000 plow in front to clear away. 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.000 Donner Pass got its name, by the way, from a party of pioneers who were stopped 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.000 here a hundred years ago by brissards. 00:03:43.001 --> 00:03:46.000 There were no diesel trains to come to their rescue, and many 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.000 perished from cold and starvation. 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.000 Though nature has run wild here, snow is unnecessary, though they provide waters 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.000 that irrigate California's farmland. 00:03:55.001 --> 00:03:59.001 Six miles from the streamliner, heavy drifts force the relief train, whose 00:03:59.001 --> 00:04:02.001 forward section can be seen ahead, to stop. 00:04:05.001 --> 00:04:12.001 Provisions for the beleaguered passengers are loaded on army weasels, 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.001 which because of their caterpillar tread can get across the snow to the 00:04:16.001 --> 00:04:18.000 stalled city of San Francisco. 00:04:18.001 --> 00:04:23.000 The weasel is an amphibious vehicle developed during the war, and since found to 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.001 have a variety of peacetime uses. 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.001 Here is the city of San Francisco, hopelessly blocked by snow drifts. 00:04:31.001 --> 00:04:33.001 Its sides festooned with icicles. 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.000 It's been here three days with the passengers aboard. 00:04:36.001 --> 00:04:40.000 A news magazine cameraman is the first newsreel man there. 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.000 For the last two days, the passengers have gone without heat. 00:04:43.001 --> 00:04:48.000 Sixty were overcome by gas fumes that are taken off on sled stretchers, but none 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.001 suffered serious injuries, and they report that spirits were 00:04:51.001 --> 00:04:53.000 cheerful on the snowbound train. 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.001 Then the monumental task of digging out the streamliner begins. 00:05:00.001 --> 00:05:04.000 Passengers are on their way home, but for two more days, the train lies 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.001 embedded in its prison of snow. 00:05:07.001 --> 00:05:08.001 Now she moves. 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.000 She's on her way. 00:05:10.001 --> 00:05:13.001 Man has won this particular skirmish in the unending 00:05:13.001 --> 00:05:15.000 battle with the forces of nature. 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.000 The liner Queen Mary brings Winston Churchill, prime minister of Great Britain, 00:05:30.001 --> 00:05:33.001 into New York Harbor for a series of vital talks with President Truman. 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.001 Down the gang plank to a Coast Guard cutter strides Mr. Churchill. 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.001 To Floyd Bennett Field, New York, an auto whisks the prime minister, who will 00:05:41.001 --> 00:05:45.000 proceed in President Truman's plane, the independence, to Washington. 00:05:45.001 --> 00:05:47.001 At 77, he's still vigorous. 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.001 In the capital, the reception includes full military honors. 00:05:56.001 --> 00:06:00.000 Mr. Churchill, whose main purpose is to develop cooperation between Britain and 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.001 America in relations with communist countries, is greeted by President Truman, 00:06:04.001 --> 00:06:08.000 who agrees that peace is what both our countries strive for. 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.000 The presidential yacht Williamsburg is the scene of some of the conferences. 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.000 Churchill makes it plain that he seeks aid only for a common defense effort. 00:06:19.001 --> 00:06:23.001 Now the British statesman enters the capital for an address to a joint session of 00:06:23.001 --> 00:06:25.001 Congress and honor rarely accorded foreigners. 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.000 He speaks now of Europe's united defense effort. 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:36.001 The sooner strong enough forces can be assembled in Europe under united command, 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:42.000 the more effective will be the deterrence against a third world war. 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:48.001 If I may say this, members of the Congress, be careful above all things, 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:54.001 therefore, not to let go of the atomic weapon until you are sure, and more than 00:06:54.001 --> 00:06:58.000 sure, that other means of preserving peace are in your hands. 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:16.001 At Frenchman's flat, Nevada, the atomic weapon of which Churchill spoke is tested 00:07:16.001 --> 00:07:18.000 as a tactical weapon of war. 00:07:18.001 --> 00:07:22.000 A film badge goes on the rifle to show how much radiation it receives. 00:07:22.001 --> 00:07:26.000 Scientists want to learn the effect of atomic rays on military equipment. 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.001 These dummies likewise are fitted with instruments to 00:07:29.001 --> 00:07:31.000 measure the radiation they undergo. 00:07:34.001 --> 00:07:38.000 Army trucks roll through the night carrying into the bomb zone combat troops. 00:07:38.001 --> 00:07:42.000 The first, as these previously secret films reveal, ever to take part 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.000 in atomic tests in the field. 00:07:44.001 --> 00:07:48.001 Five thousand hand-picked men move up in the cold dawn to take positions for the 00:07:48.001 --> 00:07:50.000 last of five atomic explosions. 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.001 Generals William Keene, Joseph Swing, and Mark Clark watch the operation. 00:07:57.001 --> 00:07:59.000 Their troops are only seven miles from 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:00.001 the point where the bomb is to be detonated. 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.001 Nervously, the men await the blast. 00:08:06.001 --> 00:08:13.001 The tremendous 00:08:13.001 --> 00:08:18.001 detonation, felt 260 miles away, shakes the earth under the soldiers, and the 00:08:18.001 --> 00:08:21.000 blast fills the air with flying dust. 00:08:21.001 --> 00:08:25.000 The test is a terrifying experience, but it shows that the atom bomb 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.001 can be used in support of troops. 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.001 Above them, to a height of six miles, rises the atomic cloud. 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.001 The test is successful. A new use for the bomb is developed, and a new weapon is 00:08:35.001 --> 00:08:40.000 added to our arsenal, one that will never be used, America hopes, but that will 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.001 serve as a deterrent to aggression. 00:08:58.001 --> 00:09:02.000 Vegetables are the raw materials for Sr. Luigi Livraggi's art. 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:08.000 Sr. Livraggi of Milan, Italy uses potatoes, cabbage, eggplant, peppers, and 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.001 celery to create odd and decorative sculpture. 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.001 His deft fingers are at work now on a bird, which seems almost to 00:09:14.001 --> 00:09:16.001 come to life before your eyes. 00:09:21.001 --> 00:09:24.001 Here's one of his finished works, a swallow in flight. 00:09:27.001 --> 00:09:30.001 A ballerina made of vegetables pirouettes gracefully for you. 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.000 And here's an elephant hoisting a log. 00:09:35.001 --> 00:09:39.000 A dancer and a bird are followed by still another ballerina. 00:09:41.001 --> 00:09:45.000 Next is a rooster whose every feather is made of vegetables. 00:09:45.001 --> 00:09:50.000 Two racehorses with their jockeys parade to the post, and here, the roguie 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.000 presents a whole aviary of birds. 00:09:53.001 --> 00:09:58.000 This cuckoo clock is a model for the sculptured cuckoo, but you'll never see any 00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.001 of these masterpieces in the museum. 00:10:00.001 --> 00:10:04.000 Mercilessly, they're tossed in the pot for supper, thus nourishing 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.000 body as well as mind. 00:10:23.001 --> 00:10:29.000 At China Lake, California, the Navy demonstrates a new and complex device for 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.001 observing and recording the flight of guided missiles. 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.001 Film is threaded into the mobile motion picture camera. 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.000 The camera performs two functions. 00:10:37.001 --> 00:10:41.001 It is telescopic, bringing the missile photographed closer to the eye, and it 00:10:41.001 --> 00:10:43.001 slows down the missile's meteor-like flight. 00:10:45.001 --> 00:10:49.000 In the telescope tube of the camera, an officer sees his 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.001 reflection on the parabolic mirror. 00:10:51.001 --> 00:10:55.001 The camera is called little bright eyes because of these huge binoculars through 00:10:55.001 --> 00:10:57.000 which the operator follows the target. 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000 The camera is mounted on a mobile anti-aircraft gun turret. 00:11:02.001 --> 00:11:06.000 The operator, who must have high technical skill, takes his seat. 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.001 Through the binoculars, he will follow the missile's flight while his hands 00:11:10.001 --> 00:11:12.000 control the camera's movement. 00:11:12.001 --> 00:11:16.001 It can effectively film a missile at distances of from 1 to 20 miles. 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:23.001 Now the target is spotted. It's a plane, a tiny speck off there, rather than a 00:11:23.001 --> 00:11:25.001 guided missile for security reasons. 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.001 The operator follows it with his binoculars, and the camera's 00:11:29.001 --> 00:11:31.000 parabolic mirror swings round, too. 00:11:31.001 --> 00:11:33.000 Here's the film from the Navy camera. 00:11:33.001 --> 00:11:37.000 The coat marks on the right are made by an electronic counter, which registers 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.000 speed, distance, rate of climb, and other factors. 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.001 The camera, exposing film five times as rapidly as our conventional camera, 00:11:44.001 --> 00:11:47.000 reduces the plane's flight to 1 fifth at speed. 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.000 The telescope magnifies the plane three miles away 22 times. 00:11:52.001 --> 00:11:55.001 A Navy invention advances development of our new weapons. 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.000 The Revolutionary War was raging in America when England's Captain Cook 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.001 discovered the Hawaiian Archipelago, a tropic, mountainous 00:12:19.001 --> 00:12:21.000 paradise of volcanic origin. 00:12:21.001 --> 00:12:25.000 It was a fertile territory swept by sun and gentle trade winds 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.000 and surrounded by rolling seas. 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.001 Today, the United States knows the islands as one of its most valuable outposts, 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.001 slightly more than 2,000 miles away, reached in nine hours by plane, or a 00:12:37.001 --> 00:12:39.001 leisurely four and a half days by liner. 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.001 The islands, comprising some 6,400 square miles, are the most 00:12:43.001 --> 00:12:45.001 important group of the central Pacific. 00:12:48.001 --> 00:12:51.001 These sparkling shores were probably the last habitable 00:12:51.001 --> 00:12:53.000 area to be occupied by man. 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:59.000 Centuries ago, setting out from Asia via Malaya, Java, and Tahiti, waves of 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:03.000 adventurous Polynesian tribesmen landed in the Hawaiian islands. 00:13:03.001 --> 00:13:08.000 They traveled in boats like these across thousands of miles of open sea. 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:17.001 Cook, searching for new routes to the Orient, landed by accident at Waimea Bay in 00:13:17.001 --> 00:13:22.000 Kauai in 1778, thus ending 1,200 years of isolation. 00:13:22.001 --> 00:13:24.001 Cook called his discovery the Sandwich Islands. 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.000 More explorers followed. The islands became an important point of call, but 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.000 Native life began to disintegrate under outside influence. 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.000 Then King Kamehameha the Great unified the islands. 00:13:40.001 --> 00:13:45.001 In a decisive battle on Oahu, Kamehameha defeated his last enemies, driving most 00:13:45.001 --> 00:13:49.001 of them to their deaths over the Pali, where a modern highway now runs. 00:13:50.001 --> 00:13:55.000 The wars had wiped out the Native religions. Missionaries came, and Christianity 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.000 began to spread rapidly through the islands. 00:13:57.001 --> 00:14:02.000 At the same time, under the direction of the New England businessmen, the Natives 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:03.001 began to plant sugarcane. 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.001 The Hawaiian royal family lived in Iolani Palace. 00:14:08.001 --> 00:14:13.000 Last to reign was Queen Lilio Kalani, who wrote Aloha Oi, 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.001 Hawaii's most famous song. 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:20.000 In 1893, a revolutionary movement ended the Hawaiian monarchy, thus passed royal 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.000 power, for the islands were annexed by the United States in 1898. 00:14:25.001 --> 00:14:29.001 American influence is shown in the first houses built by missionaries, 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.001 reminiscent of New England architecture. 00:14:31.001 --> 00:14:35.001 The missionaries also established the first print shop, where the Bible 00:14:35.001 --> 00:14:37.000 was printed in the Native language. 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.001 Today, the sugar industry started by early settlers forms the 00:14:43.001 --> 00:14:45.000 islands major source of income. 00:14:45.001 --> 00:14:50.000 Some 28 plantations, like this one on Kauai, produce 8 million 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.001 tons of sugarcane a year. 00:14:53.001 --> 00:14:58.001 Pineapple is the second biggest industry. Once an exotic local fruit, it is now 00:14:58.001 --> 00:15:00.001 an important item on the American menu. 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.001 Tourists form the third biggest business. Each year, some 50,000 visitors land in 00:15:07.001 --> 00:15:10.000 the islands, where they receive a friendly welcome. 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.000 The even temperature of the Hawaiian islands, cooled by currents from far away 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.000 Arctic seas, averages about 75 degrees. 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.000 And riding a surfboard is as easy in January as in June. 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:36.001 The island's capital is Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. The famed 00:15:36.001 --> 00:15:38.001 Aloha Tower dominates the city. 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.001 The University of Hawaii, located here, has 20,000 students. 00:15:46.001 --> 00:15:50.000 Statehood is a burning question. A constitution is voted, which would 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.001 permit Hawaii to join the Union. 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.000 And in some places, what may be our future 49th state looks 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.001 like Texas or Montana. 00:15:58.001 --> 00:16:01.000 These cattle are grazing in the real far west. 00:16:04.001 --> 00:16:09.001 Other parts of the islands betray their volcanic origin. A lighted match turns 00:16:09.001 --> 00:16:12.000 into steam vapors escaping from vents running 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.000 deep into the Earth's boiling center. 00:16:16.001 --> 00:16:22.000 You can hardly go out of sight of a volcano in the islands. While most of them 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:28.000 are inactive, Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii is very much alive. Mauna Loa, in 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.000 fact, is the biggest and most active volcano in the world. 00:16:35.001 --> 00:16:40.000 Lava sands are the basis of several black beaches on the island of Hawaii. 00:16:42.001 --> 00:16:48.001 This is the start of a hookilau, a great fishing body in which the choicest 00:16:48.001 --> 00:16:50.001 varieties are caught for the big feast. 00:16:58.001 --> 00:17:03.001 It's a celebration in which everyone joins, and even the keiki's, the children, 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.000 can hula in the time-honored manner. 00:17:06.001 --> 00:17:10.000 In the history of the islands, this famed native dance has served as 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.001 both a religion and a language. 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:20.001 The Loa was a traditional feast, a favorite dish is poi 00:17:20.001 --> 00:17:22.001 made out of the root of the taro plant. 00:17:23.001 --> 00:17:29.001 All inspiring beauty, natural wealth on land and in the seas, a deep sense of the 00:17:29.001 --> 00:17:34.000 past and of a new world to come, these are the things that distinguish Hawaii, 00:17:34.001 --> 00:17:37.000 America's front door on the Pacific. 00:17:53.001 --> 00:17:59.000 For seven days, the storm-crippled flying enterprise is towed towards port by the 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:04.000 British tug turmoil whose mate Kenneth Dancy has joined Captain Henry Kurt 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.001 Carlson aboard the listing ship. 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.000 When storms shattered the enterprise and healed her over, Carlson ordered her 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.000 abandoned. At the last minute, he decided to stay 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.001 aboard alone to try to save her. 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.000 The turmoil with an American destroyer standing by tows her 300 miles towards 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:24.000 port. Then, 80 miles from safety, new storms crash over the enterprise. 00:18:24.001 --> 00:18:28.001 The five-inch tow cable snaps. An engineer on the turmoil said 00:18:28.001 --> 00:18:30.000 later he wept when it happened. 00:18:30.001 --> 00:18:35.000 The gale goes on. Men aboard the destroyer try to send food to Carlson who's been 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.000 living on pound cake and warming his hands over a candle. 00:18:38.001 --> 00:18:44.000 Each attempt to tie on a new tow line ends in failure. The gale gets worse. The 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:48.000 enterprise now only 41 miles from Falmouth is going down. 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.000 Carlson and Dancy are told a helicopter will fly out from England to pick them 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.001 up. New winds force the plane back. 00:18:54.001 --> 00:18:58.001 The gallant ship is flat on her sides and the heavy swell almost 00:18:58.001 --> 00:19:00.000 conceals her from the attending boats. 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:06.000 A great mass of debris and deck cargo is washed into the sea. As the ocean poured 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:09.001 over the superstructure, Carlson and Dancy leaped from the funnel. 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.000 The turmoil picked them up after they'd been in the water for four minutes. Now 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.000 the turmoil, the destroyer Keith and the tug Englishman chartered by the press, 00:19:18.001 --> 00:19:20.001 circle the ship in its last tragic moments. 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:25.001 The turmoil wires its base that Captain Carlson and Dancy are safe and have 00:19:25.001 --> 00:19:27.001 gotten warm clothes and a shot of rum. 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:53.001 Half an hour later the enterprise is 90 percent underwater. Her bow is almost 00:19:53.001 --> 00:19:57.001 straight up in the air and then she begins to settle in 40 fathoms of angry sea. 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:02.000 Taking with her two million dollars of cargo, steel, automobiles, antique 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:06.000 furniture, objects of art which can never be replaced. 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:26.001 Ironically the sea turns calm. The turmoil brings Carlson and Dancy to Falmouth 00:20:26.001 --> 00:20:30.001 where the Captain's Danish mother and father wake with a crowd of 10,000. 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:35.001 Carlson and Dancy are greeted by the town's mayor, Councillor. Carlson apologizes 00:20:35.001 --> 00:20:40.001 for not bringing his ship home. With Dancy on the left, he tells how he slept on 00:20:40.001 --> 00:20:43.001 the slanted side of the cabin wall and prayed and read a book of 00:20:43.001 --> 00:20:45.000 maritime law to pass the hours. 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.001 Then he's honored with a triumphal parade before he heads home to America. 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.000 Landing at New York's Idlewild Airport, Carlson is greeted by his wife and 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.001 daughters. A few weeks ago he was just another sea captain. 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.001 Today, thanks to his heroic effort to save his ship, he's an international hero 00:21:08.001 --> 00:21:11.000 and New York City gives him a hero's welcome. 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:17.000 A storm of paper, the mildest storm Carlson's faced showers upon him on the ride 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.001 up lower Broadway as the city opens its heart. 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:27.000 But the most touching welcome of all is that bestowed by 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:31.001 Woodbridge, New Jersey, his hometown, which gives a neighborly parade to the 37 00:21:31.001 --> 00:21:33.000 -year-old Danish-born sea dog. 00:21:37.001 --> 00:21:42.000 The high school majorettes have never strutted so well before, and Carlson says 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.000 the reception amazes him as he speaks at the municipal building. 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:53.000 Really, I'm speechless. My boss sent me out a few 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:58.001 months ago with a beautiful ship, and I come back with it, back without it. 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:05.001 And yet, you all seem to be very, very heavy and cheer me, and 00:22:05.001 --> 00:22:10.000 really, I'm amazed. I do not know what to say. 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:16.000 I don't understand it all, but the warmth I felt here today 00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:23.000 in this township from all of you has more than a thousand-fold compensated 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:28.001 for my little inconvenience out in the Atlantic 00:22:28.001 --> 00:22:30.000 the last three weeks. 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:43.001 At home, Carlson refuses offers totaling thousands of dollars and says 00:22:43.001 --> 00:22:45.001 he'll go back to sea again.
